I'm not a warranted marshal, but I'm almost certain that chicken isn't legal. Surely those talons will penetrate past a bar grill...

Eh, while we're on a roll, should we compliment him on a rye sense of humor? Seems like an odd choice to loaf on the list field....

Your father's baguette. This is the weapon of a Jedi Herald. Not as clumsy or random as a bread stick; a tasty treat for a more civilized age. For over a thousand generations, the Jedi Heralds were the guardians of between meal snacks and baked goods in the Old Kingdom. Before the dark times... before Combat Bakery.

Actually that was a single sword tourney in February 2006. The fighter already on his back is Count Cadogan and the one in the air is Pan Vitus Polonius (now Sir). If I recall it was a double kill and both slipped on the snow and ice pretty much at the same time and went down in a heap.

I think it is just an amusing shot with Cadogan on his back and Vitus in the air about to be on his face.....

This looks like the middle frame of a comic.
Frame 1: Is his announcing he's going to teach a lesson to someone offscreen.
Frame 2: Angry marching off OR sounds of combat from offscreen
Frame 3: Getting flung across the screen
Repeat frames 2 and 3 as many times as desired.

One can always find gentility and grace at Celt Wars. I believe that's a Drunken Monkey Gas Attack distraction with a Canuck Cross-check surprise.
