User blog:The Bespectacled Guy/BRBH 7: Thomas Becket VS Thomas the Tank Engine MEANINGS

Link to the actual battle

Thomas Becket:
Whose idea was it to paint a face on a train?

(Becket questions how TtTE was created in the first place, characterizing him as nothing more than a train with a face painted on.)

Raise generations to be mentally insane?

(He goes on to suggest that those raised watching TtTE's shows have gone mad in later life due to their bizarre nature.)

Your no-budget show is flat and mundane,

(The various episodes of TtTE's shows typically feature content revolving around the transport of goods and problems on railway lines, something Becket describes as boring to watch.)

I'm a high-class priest with a king-size brain!

(Becket compares TtTE's success to his own, mentioning that he is a powerful and highly intelligent figure.)

You've lost track of your mind if you're messing with me,

(Becket suggests that TtTE is insane to challenge him. "Losing track" is also a play on words, referring to train tracks.)

I'm the OG MC Archbishop of Canterbury!

(He describes himself as OG (original gangsta), an MC (rapper), and mentions his job title, the Archbishop of Canterbury, which is the most senior position in the English church.)

I'm at the top, the world is my see!

(A priest's "see" is the area they preside over as religious leader. Becket claims that he is so successful, he controls the entire world.)

You're The Little Engine That Could never beat me!

("The Little Engine That Could" is a 1930 childrens' book by Watty Piper describing the value of hard work and perseverance. Unrelated to the stories of TtTE, it tells the tale of a train engine that is forced to take on a greater load than it is used to and drive it up a steep mountain. Against all the odds, the train succeeds, and is praised for its hard work. Becket uses the story to tell TtTE that, conversely, TtTE will not succeed in overcoming his own challenge of beating Becket.)
