Let The Countdown Begin!

[Sir Martin]

Sir Martin,

You china cabinet looks similar to one I've got. Does yours have three curved glass panels?

Mine does, and there's a Patent Number 978,305 notice on the inside of the door.  It was patented in 1910.

Take Care,
David Baldock

David - you've got a sharp eye there, my friend.  My cabinet does have three curved glass panels and is similar to yours, with minor differences.  I inherited it from my great grandmother and one of the glass panels had a crack in it.  The fellow who replaced the glass told me the cabinet was an "Empire Revival" style and it was manufactured around 1905.  Wish I could tell you more, but I don't know much about furniture ... I just love it cause it has been in the family for a long time and looks pretty cool.  

Rani - looking forward to seeing you and your new wings in a few months!

Sir Martin, you can post those if you like, no problem.

All except the one where he's lifting his kilt!  If you were at the wrong angle...


*shudders*

*shudders* 

Oh, but that was actually the part where "the crowd went wild"!

Nice save. But no, you're thinking of the guy that was wearing the chainmaile jock strap that lifted his kilt.

I thought that was you!

While I may have "stones" I'm not about to wrap them in cold metal.

[Rani Zemirah]

No, I'm pretty sure Rapier was wearing the Egyptian style collar, and a headband, at least during All Hallows, anyway...   But yes, you DID to lift the kilt! 




Just barely far enough to show one knee...


And the crowd still went wild!    Of course, I think it was about 75% R/Fer's, but that's beside the point...

Yeah, just what I need; a crowd kilt check. I think you are confusing me with Nasty. We look a lot alike.

[Rani Zemirah]

Uhhh... yeah, I totally see the resemblance, there...    


Don't be modest NOW, of all times... you know you showed that knee... admit it!  Don't MAKE me break out the video...    




Besides, I didn't see Nasty dancing across that balcony...  (ok, so dancing might not be the "technical" term for it...)

[Rapier Half-Wit]

Nasty dancing at the chainmail show! Now why didn't I think of that?? That's a great idea Rani. You are going to have to make that happen. His girlfriend will be totally behind this.

[Rani Zemirah]

Wait... how, exactly, am I supposed to make that happen?!?  I'm pretty sure you and Fraser have a better chance of coercing... uhhh, convincing him to get up there and dance than I would!  Maybe you could get his gf to help you talk him into it... or even get Fraser up there with him... 



Oooh... I LIKE this idea...  All three of you up there, one after another, this year!     

[Laird Fraser of Lovatt]

Sorry... isn't enough money OR tea in China.

[Rapier Half-Wit]

Sorry... isn't enough money OR tea in China.

Rusty Nails?

[Rani Zemirah]

Oh, c'mon, Fraser... it's not like you would even have to DANCE, or anything!  I mean, Rapier didn't actually dance... he just sort of... strutted, a little.   


Besides... just think of all those women drooling over the chainmail models!  Everyone knows that chainmail increases sex appeal almost exponentially... and you wouldn't even have to wear the metal codpiece!  I know Randolf would put you in something that would make the ladies just... swoon!      

Sorry... isn't enough money OR tea in China.

Rusty Nails?

I doubt seriously that Rusty Nails are going to work again... since he's sworn off them.  We'll just have to figure out some other form of liquid Kryptonite, I guess...    heheh
