And behold, a white horse... and a pumpkin.

Right, so the question was posed this morning: In a NO HOLDS BARRED battle to the last mythical character, who do you think would win between 'The Headless Horseman' and 'Conquest (Pestilence), the first horseman of the Apocalypse'?

I think it's mostly important to mention that this came about during a phone conversation where the following was said:

Subject one)
"Oh man, I drank last night as though The Headless Horseman of the Apocalypse were galloping towards me.

Me)
:smileylaughing: Well friend, while I do appreciate your mixed references, I think it's important to note that 'The Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow' is a scary eff'n guy. However, he is not a 'Horsemen of the Apocalypse.'

Subject One)
But who would win in a fight?

Me)
No clue. Better ask the internet.

So, please add some pictures, play out a scenario, run through a pumpkin patch on a white horse or do what you see fit to test your opinion. (Read: Theory)
The world needs to know...
Or I do.

Headless horseman is not in a good position. Even if he beats the first horseman, there are 3 more to follow. Prolly a big ask to beat them when you're covered with the rats and cockroaches of Pestilence.

ooh yeah, and when Famine comes along that Pumpkin is sure to rot.
As for War, They both have swords.
I doubt that Death would have much influence over him though. That's seeing as he's dead already.

Death has nothing to lose. It's not like he's scared of death!

Anyway, how can the headless horseman see? Most likely he'd ride into a tree before he even met the Apocalypse horsemen.

Toffee?

I expect toffee would be the first victim of Pestilence. Some type of generic poison would be more apt.

Reinforcements?
For whom?
I mean what are we talking about here, SAS Zombies, African killer bees, the rats from An American Tale, the rats from The Secret of Nimh?

I mean, who would reinforce whom?

Edit: I just realised that I think you mean the other horsemen reinforcing Conquest.
In that case - no, reinforcements should stay on the sideline and wait their turn.

Back to the drawing board to re-plan.

If you had the headless horseman on your case Johnny Depp would come to save the day. Afterwards you could get blitzed on a blizzard of cocaine and discuss Edward Sissorhands and other classics

Allow me to sincerely congratulate you for having spawned TD's most brilliant thread ever...

As far as who would win, I heard a theory that The Sleepy Hollow jockey lost his head during a trip to Bangkok. Having been here longer than a weekend, he will be unperturbed by any rats or cockroaches.

I think he will get cut down by the second or third horseman.
