Hmmmmmmmmmmmm....
Could the time change and desert weather be getting to him?
Is he just tipping back a few and forgot?
Maybe he is in Vegas betting on the ponies?
Calling Lord Fig to the white courtesy phone!
Marcos
Oh I'm sure that he is quite overwhelmed by the newly arid and cold (at least where he's at) climate and probably is somewhat maladjusted.
But we are missing our daily "bong".
I'm wondering now if the Lord Fig isn't at some ill?
Is everything okay Lord and Lady Fig?
We are now beginning to worry.
Sorry for the delay, weekends are still a bit busy here with getting the house all set up. Lot's to unpack and repack. Then moving things into storage. But I have returned for the daily bong.

BONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow... Who knew that my replacement would show me up so vividly?!?!?! Keep up the good work Lord Fig.
On a sadder note, due to powers beyond my control(having a job with a boss who just doesn't care), I will not be out every day this year. I know, this is not the type of note we want to start our year on, but I will be out there as often as I can. My first day will be the 8th instead of the 7th.
See you all soon!!!
Julianne said I could pimp it out with colors and stuff. So this idea hit me one night and thought....hey, why not?
So here we go, time once again for the daily bong report.
The days have worked down to the double digit
We're getting so close, it makes us all fidget
Our plans to gather are falling in line
We'll talk and we'll cheer and consume a little wine
But I wonder if anyone's name will be Bridget

Time once again for the daily bong report. Today's report is brought to you by. The Fun Luvin Bunch, that's right, it's the wonderful group of people that make it all worth while to come from all over and join in the fun of the Arizona Renaissance Festival.
The time is drawing nearer
And things are getting clearer
The garb is being dusted
Time to repair anything that busted
Just be sure to double check them in the mirror

Time again for another bong report ladies and gentlemen. Brought to you by the weird drug that is really making me dizzy as all H E double hockey sticks. Lyrica, I mean woh dude, it's a trip.
Today they have me on a new drug
I bump things when I reach for my mug
I hope it's under control
When we get together to stroll
So I don't end up looking like a slug

Hurry up and end January!
Marcos
Welcome once again to the Daily Bong Report. The drugs still working, but the effects are starting to get a little less. I'm glad to feel a little more like myself today.
Today is one day shy of two weeks
The flush is building on our cheeks
The heart is beating faster
Our jobs may try to be our master
No understands why we dress like antiques
Now lets get on with the important stuff, the reason we're all here.
HERE YEE HEAR YEE, TODAY MARKS THE TIME TILL FUN BEGINS IN

Me too!!
Just ordered my baldric for my new sword, can't wait to see everyone.
Marcos
I'm beginning to certainly believe that this year it will be the Men of our shire that are going to be the garb whores.
I'm rather use to it myself being married to the Marquis... :D... but as I have been listening to many of our cast and the seamstresses sewing and creating...it will be the MEN of the shire, albeit they peasant or noble, that will be strutting their stuff this year.
oy vay.

There you go,
Try to look good for the ladies we will be present with, so as not to bring shame or embarrasment, and they call us whores.
Marcos
Like the male peacock who struts his stuff to show off for the female. If they can do it, then why can we. Thy ladies are most beautiful and it would be churlish of us men to look like unwanted pond scum to hang upon the bottom of thy hems. It is our duty to make our selves as acceptable as possible, to be considered a proper escort to thee and all other ladies of this place.
While things may seem quite hazy
And the days are getting crazy
We men must put forward our best
So we may proudly display our chest
Lest thy beautiful ladies think us lazy

Though a bilge rat yee might bee, twoud be best to be on your best, to be an acceptable escort, for one of the fine ladies of our court here my good man.
Though some other may call them selves a rat
One does note that he wears a rather nice hat
and while he may see others as nothing more than a highborn weasel
things should look their best before they are placed upon an easel
Or then things may end up looking rather flat

Lovely Lord Fig....you've been an incredibly entertaining official bonger. We are most pleased.
Your tenure is almost up...continue to revel us with your bongbardic tongue.
Time yet again for the daily (though not always daily) Bong report. (bongbardic I like that one)
We each go through the winter ensconce
Each building our own individual response
Each passing the days with our employment
Till time once again comes our enjoyment
To partake and fulfill our own renaissance

Yes, yes indeed.
Spot the Frenchie doing something bad, rat him out to the Scot, sit back and watch the fun.
It's called Rennie Survivor, tune in every Sat and Sun during the run of faire and pick your favorite!
Marcos
Time again, though not as daily as I had hoped it to be. But here we are none the less.
The time draws nie
When we all look to get a piece of the pie
Our flasks and mugs filled to over flowing
The excitement is for ever growing
We just hope the weekend days will stay dry

finally my last work day before faire is over...it only took like a week :P
Time is here, to make it known, the daily bong will surely be shown.

For you know it's a safe bet
They'll soon be along to partake of the brew

Sometimes the build up is as much fun as the opening day!
Of course I can say that since I won't be there opening day but...
I'd like all of us to give Lord Figaro a resounding appreciation for all his hard work and dedication for being the Official Bonger of AZRF. He's done a splendid job and also set the bar for future bongers with his bardic repose.
Hip Hip Huzzah!
Hip Hip Huzzah!
HIp Hip Huzzah!
To Lord Figaro...we welcome, appreciate and applaud you with most open arms to you and your Lady.
Having done and said all of that you still have two more days....so stay sharp ;).
Lord Fig
Job well done indeed!
I for one will buy you an ale for your fine work.
Marcos
5 hours to cannon...yes I'm up early
Well,
As we close the page on this countdown I have to say that Lord Fig did one hell of a job and even though we did not have the bong for the last day. We did all think of him when cannon went off this morning.
Marcos
Sorry I wasn't able to do the final BONG, I didn't realize we were going to be somewhere else during that time. But thanks for the Hip Hip Huzzahs n all. I don't feel I deserve em after missing the final days n all. But I was sure thinking of it and everyone one. Plus I was doing the count down in my head. every day. I had a great time where I was, but I was thinking of the fest and made sure everyone I was with was thinking the same thing too. Just as a side note..it's snowing right now outside my window. I MOVED HERE TO GET AWAY FROM THIS?!?!?!?!?!?! WHAT IS THIS CR#P?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
