Cricket song....

femkes_folliesThe electronic silence continues to be mostly deafening. Well, most local people are at or are soon leaving for Border War. We're skipping out, as I don't trust Anneliese to be anything other than a monster under current circumstances.
I DID get an entertaining reply from Master Talan on the whole Coronet/Crown issue. Interestingly, he pointed out that the MK once had sumptuary laws covering coronet sizes, whilst Meridies did not. Reverse of the current situation. He even recalled one gentleman that was surreptitiously dubbed "Radio Free Meridies" for the size of his coronet. An epithet that could probably be adjusted for the territorial baronial coronets of Cynnabar.
And he included this bit, which had be wiping my morning beverage off the screen:
Battlements rise from a count's coronet,
A duchess grows strawberry leaves in her hair;
Pretty conceits for a peer or peerette,
But a baron has balls -- and more than a pair!
Heh. *sporfle*
So far, response to the polite request for a rethinking of the current hosting system: *cue crickets*
Meantime, strategizing has begun. I've laid a few things out for John, we've done some extensive reading, and I'm leaving him to percolate till tomorrow. He's the Political Science major, after all. I suspect he'll have some thoughts and plans on the topic that will be useful. We'll discuss it at length in the car tomorrow. Though the very low grade talking campaign continues, unabated.

I'd also not known that Master Talan was a poet. He's sent me quite a few bits of verse that are highly entertaining. He needs to compile a book. Maybe two books. One of SCA-specific pieces and one of his general work.
