Reputations - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

As I recall, it was davem who first introduced the casual tone of laddishness (what a great word! Is that actual British lingo or something of your own creation?) way back when he first got to Aragorn's Court.

But this is becoming Chatty, and thus in danger of earning us both a right good Barrow-Wighting.

.

Laddish is British Lingo but is not always a term of approbation

Much scarier however is the ladette.

Sea shanties and beer on the tides, I see. Whatever will those stone-faced Immortal Ones think?

The residents of Minas Tirith have become slighty perturbed about the incessant loud rock music blaring from the massive speakers of the Court. They are also outraged at the so-called - and I quote - 'lack of morals' displayed by the guests. O my! Kids these days!

A greeting to all our friends,

from the Court of Aragorn.

(Where I don't think I'll ever be leaving, judging by the deranged warblings that are my recent posts)

The people of Minas Tirith can rest easy now that the phantom has arrived. He will have things looking and sounding regal again within the day, and the worst of the misbehaving miscreants will be locked in the White Tower.

Finally!

They've not been listening to me...

Look what they started here when they took to drinking beer in their undies... and my redecoration was a complete waste of time ...... it is now more "moulin rouge" than a citadel of taste and elegance ...... the string quartet is playing electric instruments and wearing leather and the library has been turned into a "chill out" room - whatever that is .... .and don't get me started on what they have done to the court of the fountain...

Don't I have immunity, granted by the King himself?

Anyway, acts of debauchery are victimless crimes; like punching someone in the dark.

Peace.

Find me wheatgrass, alka-seltzer and ear-plugs and all is forgiven. Find me a decent espresso and I might give this debauchery another go....

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 02-17-2005, 11:10 AM

Debauchery's a funny thing (no, bear with me, I'm actually going somewhere with this). You see, back in the day, it was considered debauched to eat marshmallows. Why, when I used to live in the Old Forest, I could barely walk around without angry deer shooting me wicked glances for wearing red boots.

So you see, the Court should be permitted our freedoms. It's like a big social experiment.

As much coffee as you please Mithalwen. It's some of the finest Nurn coffee, I believe. Wonderful stuff...

I have used my influence to obtain a new decree the King!

"I, Aragorn Elessar Estel Strider Longshanks Telcontar, declare that from this moment until the Last Battle-

1) The fountain is to spout WATER!

2) The library is off limits to all but those on my list of scholars. Anyone caught using books or piles of manuscript as a foot rest, a coaster, or as tinder will be booked and then "booked" (like a stoning, only books are used in place of rocks).

3) Anyone who uses the word "debauchery" without cringing will be taken to "Denny's leap" where the perpetrator will be made to emulate the recently deceased Steward.

4) Those who hinder Mithalwen's redecoration efforts will be locked in Chinese handcuffs and have their mouths sealed, and then will be taken to Ioreth's house to sit in the living room as a conversation piece."

The quartet is playing leather? Horrifying indeed. I brought my strat to Elrond's porch just in time.

Mithalwen · 02-17-2005, 11:27 AM

Oops I have corrected this to the intended "wearing leather" ... sorry Eomer distracted me....
