Because I'm nice and because it's Friday, the Holy Day of Pastafarianism, I've canceled all flogging and keelhauling of the staff. I hope that it doesn't make them too uppity.

Being a dessertarian myself, I celebrate Fridays in the only appropriate manner.

Give me all your Black Forest chocolate cake and no one gets hurt.. :-D

Wanna try and get it off me? I may not be very nice then....

but it has been a long time since I had a BFG.

And I'm not talking about the Roald Dahl creation.

And you REALLY wouldn't like Liz when she's not being very nice. She can easily burst eardrums at twenty five yards, or knock the windscreen out of a Volvo at fifteen........Honest!

Well, now as I wend my weary way into the arms of Morpheus I can say that I have indeed been nice to people today. I have had no one flogged, drawn and quartered, keelhauled, hanged, electrocuted, shot, decapitated, burnt at the stake, boiled alive, staked out on an anthill, or otherwise forced to violently shuffle off this mortal coil. I haven't hit anyone with my feet, knees, forehead, elbows, hands, fingers or anything else. In fact, I bought candy for my staff and it wasn't even poisoned.

I did not play either banjo or bodhran or even attempt the accordion.

All in all, I was pretty nice today (except for that guy who turned left from the right hand lane -- HIM I wasn't nice to but he probably didn't hear what I called him).

Ok

Today is over, it's now tomorrow. I mean tomorrow was today yesterday, wait on, yesterday... was tomorrow, today... no, tomorrow was today yesterday... oh, what the hell...


So can I stop being nice now?

:-P

No, it's still today here.

Today is yesterdays' tomorrow.

I wasn't nice to a driver either, but as he was blithely reversing his car directly into my path, I think I was justified. Either I've turned into a vampire with no reflection or he was backing out without the benefit of a glance into the reflective items on the side of his BMW.

I was nice to the cat though.

The aliens from the general direction of the Orion Nebula are fully fledged now, have left their nests in my ears and nose, and are dancing on top of my computer. They're doing something that looks vaguely like a '60s dance called The Frug. Since I don't know what they're called, I'll call them Little Fruggers.

A flyswatter will solve the problem of those Little Fruggers, but only if you do it nicely.

By the way (and this is a serious question even though it doesn't sound like it): What does a gentleman wear to a tea? I don't have a nice little tea frock and would probably look...well, not good...in one.

Be nice, huh? I dunno... I've been feeling even more irritable and irascible than usual lately. I'm finding everyone and everything really annoying, and am reacting in kind. I wonder if it's physiological. Maybe a change in diet would help... Chamomile tea, anyone?

Nothing wrong with being irritable and irascible, just be sure to do it in a nice way.

Rap, the Little Fruggers read your post and ate the flyswatter. Any more ideas?

Rapaire, a gentlemen wears a pale coloured suit, with a white shirt and pale coloured tie. If desired, a panama hat or boater. But mostly he wears a smile... *G*

White linen trousers and a jacket striped like a Corporation deckchair is also acceptable tea or picnic wear for gentlemen.

or you could be the modern day gentleman and wear leather trousers, boots with enough buckles to tie a superyacht down, piercing white shirt, leather sports jacket, tie your hair in a ponytail(if you have enough that is!) and a leather hat(not cap... a hat!!!). You could add jewellery if you wish but nothing too flamboyant ;)

PS... not recommended if you're under 5'10" unless you are of a small build! :D

Bee-Dubya, them Little Fruggers are just hungry. Why don't you feed them?

Thanks for the satorial advice. It's a kick-off tea which will involve about 25 of the nicest, most polite, and toughest ladies in town -- the kind that simply get things that have to be done, done. The project is to raise about US $3.5 million for the Library and as Library Director I'll have to be there.

Pale blue pants, white shirt, and a pastel tie it is then! I'll even wear shoes for a change -- shined shoes.
