How amusing. Remind me to thank the person for a truly inventive way of securing my laughter.

I've joined the club, I feel so special. But there goes my squeaky clean reputation.

Since our mod is gone, let's get into trouble on the game thread by continuing to yap after hours. I mean, if we behave all by ourselves, then that would mean we didn't need a mod, which would make Fea feel pretty useless.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 11-19-2006, 09:07 PM

Wrong. I'm here. I feel useful. Behave and I might give you a cookie.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 11-19-2006, 09:11 PM

Anguirel, if you're still around, PM me and we'll have a brief chat before I post.

Oh, yes, that's a classic joke. It's especially good when the person is in the tub.

And Nog, Di- you were repped? But you're living! I thought only the dead were getting those things. Is no one safe?

I behaved.

Cookie please.

And also- is it just me, or has anyone else noticed a bit of a Shakespeare thing going on in the narrative? At least I think it's Shakespeare that I'm reminded of. Could be Twain though. It's hard to tell those two apart.

Mind you ... worse than people ringing the door bell and running away is people ringing it and wanting you to change your utilities supplier or join a cult or demanding sweets with menaces (trick or treating .... why must British children adopt such Americanisms when there is the far more wholesome home grown activity of getting money on return for making an effigy to be burnt ... I don't know what is the world coming too...

) and so forth

Hate to think what they didn't teach youin school. There has been a lot of Shakespeare but I think we may have gone earlier for Ang - seemed more Chaucerian to me.
