"How would you Like your K'Kree today, sir?"

[Liam Devlin]

Unto his Impishness, Cleon the Mad:
"Desdemona" safely installed in record time just before the first guests arrived! Kudos to RADM Bachfisch/Darth Sillyus and crew for getting her emplaced(thank yous!).

Dr Lector was well behaved, even civil towards Ser jame's chef...though he had to cut his chat short with an appointment to His Impishness' Medical Advisory Team. The Cleon Room was packed! Thanks again to Ser Jame for the crew and 'reserves" seems there was a run on the Droyne BBQ wings (again). Several ambassdors are missing from cetain Droyne worlds, they'll turn up elsewhere we feel sure!
The LSCR New Years/Holiday bash had a record attendnace, though not near as high as anticipated. Modular overflow seating (TL-9/10) provided by RichardP was much appreciated!
The TNE-Heretics and "Fine Young Cannibals" handled the entertainment.

Now the Hiver embassy left with all the left overs, and we're cleaning up the confetti, noise makers, paper hats, etc, as well as some 220 cases of HIM's special champagne!
Wish you all next year may return (except the Droyne embassy?)

heretically yours,

 

[Jame]

The Spire was secured with some fuss, since some of the older and more conservative nobility took protest. Once I showed them my permit, they didn't complain too much (or at least the rest didn't!). Not too many people showed up, but most of the nobility stayed and partied - those who weren't cleaning up, anyway.

 

[Cleon the Mad]

WONDERFUL! Sir Jame, I am impressed indeed! Consider yourself a recipient of a STARBURST OF EXTREME CHAOS! And consider the now cleared Moot Spire your own personal manor house! Just please, no water balloons off the top balcony...unless I'm invited first!

And Baron Liam, you have truly outdone yourself. I'm sorry, I made an error, COUNT Liam. Please pick a homeworld in the Old Expanses sector, I do believe that is your present stomping ground so to speak, to call your personal fiefdom, Count Liam!

OF COURSE, we all know that both the good GRAND POOBAH Trader Jim and the GRAND POOPER Plop 101 have been honored, please see my official dispach by the Traveller's News Service in the Random Static Thread regarding this.

To all of my loyal subjects, have a grand and glorious year...or else! ::ats "Charlene":::

emilio and and I deposit his brother Julio into a grav chair, and cart his sorry drunken sot butt off fer a good days rest.
Mr Wolfe the Ithklur picks the last of the K'Kree bones out of his fanged maw, the 5.5mm gauss rifle still slung at the ready (isn't it always I thinks)...
Read the TNS...gee a Count now! Hmmm.Pick a world...Mueller looks good, air a wee thin...nahh
Solee will do! Yeps. Solee.
The chef ser jame sent, sidles off with Dr Lector's cookbook, and no one bothers to stop her (we're too full to care). Dr Lector was last seen taking a friend home for a drink and a bite...
or two...
The band is gone, off with the groupies...wow, whatta party!

 

[Jame]

Hmm, now I have a base to increase and expand Chaos... Maybe into the Two Thousand Worlds... Gotta prove my worthiness of the SEC, after all. Hail Discord!

I will be celebrating my new manor by moving half the items of each of my other three into the Spire as soon as it gets here from Lishun, Antares and Deneb by dropping water ballons - I extend an open invite to Cleon (after 9 P.M. call first, and I retain the right to need privacy by then) and anyone on planet (same conditions) to come celebrate! Should be here by 200.

[Jame]

Oh, so That's what a K'kree on a Shingle is. I'd like one of those, so don't get rid of them!

 

[Liam Devlin]

Well Sir Jame, no one has, so we're cuttin it off the menu. Now if someone was to favor it, they'd have voted on it. I DO have a business to run, after all. ('sides, we can always do like a certain Fast Food place with a red-headed gal in pigtails does and make chili fer the next day!).

red-headed gal in pigtails.

Sounds like either a Peanuts or Pipi Longstocking reference.

 

[Liam Devlin]

Actually GAB, its a reference to a hamburger franchise I once worked at when I was a poor college student in '82..Wendy's.(tm)

 

[Jame]

Do you mind if I make a special order?

What are you going to do with the hides? We can do secondary market of K'Kree hide clothes and furniture.

THAT is a good question! And I think I shall answer it now!

Capital/Core 007-245

As per order of the most benevolent and kind Emperor of the Third Imperium, Cleon the III, K'Kree hides shall now be the ONLY official leather used for garments and furniture ulpholstery within the Imperium. This includes Districts, Client States, and governments that your loving Emperor has declared to be part of the Imperium, but has yet to conqueror due to his lazy, inefficent admirals.

This proclimation takes effect as of 008-245. All previous manufactured items are grandfathered in (no pun intended, you silly Droyne!), but all items currently being manfactured MUST include at least 50% K'Kree hide as a leather based fabric, lest the owners and managers of said businesses face promotion with extreme predjudice.

"I've just seen too many tacky lounge chairs recently", quipped the Emperor. "I mean, okay Vargr hide is nice and furry, but still...what if a man is allergic to doggy fur!"

The Emperor also points out that the Irridum throne is going to be ulpholstered in K'Kree hide, and will now be refered to as the Irridum and K'Kree skin throne.

My good Count Liam, do you cater? I was thinking of having a small private party in the recently cleared Moot Spire, and was thinking that some Prime Rib roast of K'Kree with Yorkshire pudding, some freshly grated K'Kreeradish (or if need be, Solomani horseradish) and perhaps some au-jus taken from the drippings of the K'kree roast. I'm going to be pushing some of the nobles who resisted the creative aqusition of the Moot Spire off of some of the balconies, after promoting them by at least one grade of course, two if the scream well on the way down.

(Oh, and don't let the Good Grand Poobah and Grand Pooper know it, but this will be their surprise investure ceremony...so if either of you two read this...forget it now! )

Of course, my good Count Liam, you're invited as one of the guests, along with the good Sir Jame, and anyone else who is a regular of these boards. In fact...I'll have a raffle at the door as to who gets to push out each Archduke, all of them survived!

I've a few reels of tickets left over from the Holiday bash, yer impishness on the "name yerself Duke of Ley" raffle we can toss in fer free.

[Jame]

I get dibs on the Archduke of Vland, so long as I can have some of his holdings!

 

[Cleon the Mad]

Sir Jame, I see you have already claimed someone for the "Kinetic Energy Demonstration". How wonderful! In fact, if he manages to scream in both Vilani and Gangellic on the way down from the Moot Spire, I shall promote you to Baronet, and award you this wonderful Medal of Chaotic Gallantry!

 

[Jame]

I think he'll scream - the question is if it is any recognizable language. Maybe I'll tape a microphone on him to be sure (and tell him what to scream on the way down

)!

Why not just have a small floating cambot follow him down? A captured Zhodani warbot, with a camera and microphone mounted in the sensor array would be wonderful! That and I always wanted my own personal floating PGMP!
