Title: The Return of Musical Men
Post by: Margaret on September 08, 2008, 01:40:52 PM
Doing what Barb says and informing interested parties.....

With the Widow's consent, the Female Members of the Mayor's Family
will be playing Her Most Royal Majesty's favorite game of Musical Men
each afternoon in Hollygrove, weather permitting. The game will
commence in the afternoon sometime after the start Royal Tea, on the
green between the Enchanted Statue and the Special Events Tent by the
Castle. The exact time is dependent on the schedule of Special Events
so check at Whimsy Way for the gathering time each day. You will not
find this listed in the Broad Sheet.

Please feel free to pass this information along to interested parties
who may wish to play.

Lady Barbraellen leFrye, Sister to the Mayor of Hollygrove

I'm the music, at least half of it. 4:45 we're meeting by the tea tent. Be there, or be alone. That's all I've got to say :)

I ain't telling. Just show up and see. Some people need to find out for themselves. Sort of like meeting Mother Superior when you've never been to faire before.

sandmanvw, Cyron - you are on the right track.

However, seriously, it cannot be described.  It must be experienced.  Truly.

I am a huge lover of Musical Men, though I have not yet played it myself.  I really enjoy watching when Dark Wolf gets dragged into the game.  The embarassment on his face the first time he played was priceless.  Her Majesty did all she could to make sure that he blushed more and more that day!!

Indeed, as the Face of Helen of Troy launched a Thousand Warships into battle, thusly can a ring of genuflecting men send a Thousand Wenches battling to the last. ;)

Gads, I hope not.  One of my rules... "Don't break the chairs!"

So is Ulfric *chuckling* Now. I made sure that we got him out after the fourth time we went down. Gads that was a fun day. For a little while I thought we were going to have a mosh pit rather than Musical Men. Madge, you would have been proud to hear the command in my voice as I reiterated the rule "Ladies, your BUTT goes on his knee!"

It WAS a thing of beauty! And we heeded the advice so well.  ;)

And she even specified WHICH knee!

Yea! Good clean fun until her majesty's proxy is "allowed to take liberties with the rules", or are they more like guidelines? And the Widow supervised a most competitive game as well. Are those little pillows still around for our knees?

Its all fun and games until two women start fighting it out on a gentleman's knee then . . . wait . . . that was the best part!

Of course we have little pillows for the knees!  They are even decorated with little holly leaves and berries.  (Get it?)

Hoping to play at least one more time this year...depends on my Special Events schedule.  Hmmmmm...maybe this is a way to get more people out to Area 51.  <ponders>
