Someone give me a renaissance era word or phrase, and let's see if I can work into the Opening Day Speech from the Parapet. ;) It'll be my way of saying, "Hey you guys!"
"A special greeting to those traveling from the far away land of quartz and webs"
or even better
*"The Rum Is Free All Weekend" makes for a great opening line*

I second Teach's "The Rum is free..." idea! ;D
Good thinking Teach ;)
I say the word should be either quixotic or phantasmagoric.
just becuase it'd be interesting to see how you'd work them into a speech. (:
"Welcome lords, ladies and all gentle being from far off worlds", that should cover everyone including Darth Vader and his kilted stormtroopers
What about a real quote?
"Rose without a thorn"
To thou beest born to strange sights, and things invisible to see I give special welcome this day.
It a parephase from a John Donne poem published in 1633.
"Humanism"! My vote is for "humanism"! OK, um, maybe not. :)
Hmm. "Unfold your thoughts, my lord," and maybe help us remember that although "to a wise man, all the world's his soil," we always come home to Faire!
Yeah, that was really reaching. I will leave the phrasing to better minds than mine. Maybe my humours aren't in the right balance! Good luck! I will be there, listening for the "Ren-lectric Company" shout out! ;D
Kudos to midnightferret for recognising the source of the quote!
Ooooo, that would be super cool!! Just don't know how you could say it...
Wellmet to the wonderous folk from the realm of Glenlivet- ?
Probably too long.
Huzzah FOKTOP!?
Fellowship of knights to obliterate peeps!
( I shall be recruiting at Scarby! Evil peeps are everywhere!
LOL!)
How about one of the phrases that Shakespeare invented?

Capt Marga
Where there's a "Will," there's a way to quote Shakespeare!
I'll try one! ;D
"To the many friends I haven't met as of yet and to the ones I have and now regret!"

Hehegotta love Monty Python...OK since I have the flu and am up at 530am I must now watch Holy Grail... ;D
How about "Beware the world of Mundania"?
"We are, by the sufferance of God, King of England; and the Kings of England in times past never had any superior but God." King Henry VIII
"Alas, alas, what shall I do?"
"Hark now, methinks I do hear the sounds of the minstrels upon the green!"
"Alackaday!" (means darnit!)
Tosspot (drunkard)
"Forsooth!"
"Standest thou there the lyingest knave in Christendom."

I humbly beseech you Sire. to tell those of us, who fate has prohibited from attending your greeting opening day, what profound words you use.

I missed it, too. Stopped to take pics on the way and lost track of time. So, what said ye?
We missed it two just by a few mim what did you say?
"Welcome all friends from foreign lands.."
VIII, I think that is what you said, was it?
"Welcome lords, ladies and all gentle being from far off worlds" from Master Benjamin.
BTW: keep making suggestions, I plan on doing this every weekend!

Ahaha, Nice! I vote this one!!!!!
Wow, VIII, you're very cool! Didn't realise this would be a repeat thing each weekend. So the weekend I come, I'll get to hear something cool too!! Yeah, makes it better that I had to miss opening I think...
"Welcome my Lords and Ladies to Scarborough Village and join us in celebration of Spring and the renewal of our realm." BTW can I get a copy of what you said opening day as the wee ones distracted me while thou was proclaiming on the parapet.

Even though I will not be present, this is an excellent suggestion.
Saturday's line will be to note the passing of X of Red Star into Valhalla
*See Post #48 below*
Sunday will probably have an Easter theme (peep-peep) ;)
Just to let you guys know, I will probably not use movie quotes as they are usually recogniseable. Even though I LOVE Monty Python, it's been done,... namely by Monty Python :P
Quote from: VIII on April 09, 2009, 12:55:27 PM

There was another passing to note if it is possible to do two.
Scolaigh/PapaGnome, Leader of the Drunken Gnomes clan, also passed away this week

Upon reflection, I will save them both for closing gate.
Allright, I noted the passing of X of Red Star into Valhalla and PapaGnome passed away.
Sunday was Fellowship Of Knights To Obliterate Peeps
Keep 'em coming, as we have 6 weekends left!
As this coming weekend is highland..."Hoist your tartans high!" You're welcome ladies. :o
I'll hoist a single malt to that suggestion too!
I am coming this weekend!
Sad I missed the Peep reference last Sunday! Huzzah FOKTOP!
