personal - GemStone IV Family Issues

Over the years I have been to so many weddings, festivals and other gatherings that have been no more than a footnote in my diaries.

I have decided to record these events from this time forward so that there is a formal record for posterity. When memory fails, the written word will prevail! On occasion, I will record my own feelings ( i.e. those of Bremerial's alter ego) along with Bremerial's own thoughts.

NB: OOC - Any logs included will be published using notepad which should make the information accessible to most.

"How do I love thee, pickle?
Let me count the ways!
I love thee to the depth and breadth
And height
Of a perfect Moomph spear
Eaten in two or even three bites.
I love thee to the level of everyday s
Desire to crunch on something with sandwich or soup.
I love thee freely, as men strive for size
{cough} {cough}..."

Kirryk just couldn't recite that much in one breath.

Speaking to Kirryk, you say, "Deep breath, start again."

Kirryk recites:

"I love thee purely, as they turn from mold.
I love thee with a passion put to use
With nearly every meal I take.

And old Grammy Plonk was a lass
The town's Picklesmith was a human of note
By the name of Elias Snodgrass"

You grin.

For life on the island to savor
The council requested that Elias produce
Some pickles of exceptional flavor"

"An honor indeed! So Elias set forth
To produce perfect pickles to serve
He procured the best vinegar, secured the best vegtables
To provide the most perfect hor-d-oeurve"

Poor Elias was alas unaware
That his pet cat had climbed on the rim of the barrel
And left his own ingredients there."

For Elias's pickles to share"

As his pet cat's deposit bobbed up
But before he could act, the official stepped forth
And scooped it right up in a cup"

Who was shaking from head to the floor

And held out his cup for some more."

Rosilina exclaims, "But, all exceptional!"

Bordaline applauds.
Bansh lets out a cheer!
You chuckle.

Bordaline exclaims, "A fine afternoon of entertainment!"

Kirryk adopts an agreeable expression.
Speaking offhandedly to herself, Bordaline says, "I should come here more often."

Kirryk says, "I still wanna hear Bansh's unseemly version."

Bansh says, "For any who would like to hear my other limerick I shall perform it now I think."

Rlen begins chuckling at Bordaline!
Kirryk turns to Bansh and cheers!
Bansh says, "If you blush easily this would be a good time to go bob for pickles."

Jersea recites:
"Excuse me"

Bordaline says, "If you'll all excuse me, I have to go fix my hair."

Bordaline waves.
Bordaline just went northwest.

"Whether and old goat or a young kid, remember that Goatfest is coming up. You'er all invited back for it. Beacon Hall spon sors teh fest and would love to see all of you again"

Bansh's Risque Poem

Bansh sings:

"There was an impish young lad named Eonis
Who entered the pickle fest competition with keenness
All the judges did fuss
And the ladies did blush
When he explained "The pickle is my ...""

Rlen Recites Again

Rlen recites:

"There was a lad from East of the 'Spine
Had a high quality brine
Fate being quite fickle
A neighbor used it to pickle
The lad grabbed the pickle, declaring Hey, that's mine!"

Speaking to Rosilina, you say, "May the ale never run dry; and your pickles always be succulent."

You turn towards Rosilina and render a sharp hand salute.

Rosilina smiles at you.

Rosilina exclaims, "Thank you!"

You say, "Bye all."

Klare waves to you.
