Subject: RE: BS: Rap for emperor From: gnu Date: 24 Mar 16 - 07:29 PM I have concluded recent covert operations required on a timely basis. None will be apprised except to say success was achieved. This bulletin is issued only to say The Emperor's safety is safe and all may rest assured that the threats have been... removed. Oh! And I got the laundry done, the floors vacuumed, swept, mopped... dishes are clean... the regular stuff. Gotta keep the Empire neat and tidy, eh? Well, there still is a nasty red stain in the library but I am sure some elbow grease will take care of that before the investigation. I remain, loyally and faithfully, g |

Subject: RE: BS: Rap for emperor From: Rapparee Date: 23 Mar 16 - 09:56 PM We previously worked for more than forty years in the god-like profession of librarian, and We took a lesser profession when We became Emperor. We hold a Master of Science degree in Information and Library Science in addition to Our experience in the management of information. We present you with another quote, from the author Spider Robinson: "Librarians are the secret masters of the world. They control information. Don't ever piss one off."

Q. How many quotes must a quoter quote before he quotes over his quoter quota? A.

Subject: RE: BS: Rap for emperor From: Rapparee Date: 23 Mar 16 - 11:01 AM Finding that he actually attempts to supply the source for any quotation he borrows, We appoint Ed T., who posts here as "GUEST Ed T.", as Our Imperial Quoter. He will post, at a minimum, 1.7376 edifying and morally uplifting quotations every day, which will be the Imperial Quoter's quota. Any day upon which he will post exactly 3.14159265 quotations he will be rewarded with his weight in uranium hexafluoride, or UF6. His mark shall be: Let Our will in this be broadcast throughout Our realm, and he shall enjoy all of the right and privileges of this appointment. Emperor Rapparee, Imperious Rex ® His mark |

Subject: RE: BS: Rap for emperor From: JennieG Date: 23 Mar 16 - 07:11 AM I myself personally am also a retired librarian, so I like to make sure the dungeon is suitably furnished with improving and moral tomes for the edification of the less recalcitrant inmates.

Subject: RE: BS: Rap for emperor From: Rapparee Date: 21 Mar 16 - 12:09 PM We recognize no other emperors, actual or fictional. They would steal Our glory and enervate Our subjects. Emperor Rapparee, Imperious Rex (r) His alternate mark |

Subject: RE: BS: Rap for emperor From: Rapparee Date: 20 Mar 16 - 08:44 PM We do not foresee any immediate need, but We do like to "Be Prepared" and forestall any acrimony or unpleasantness which may result should We be forced to assume a new position in a Higher Realm. Should that happen, and it is not within our purview as We intend to reign forever and ever, We would be forced to fling thunderbolts at those engaging in any form of naughtiness. The examination will be thorough. For instance, one of the requirements is to memorize and then forget Machiavelli's "The Prince" in the original Italian.

Subject: RE: BS: Rap for emperor From: JennieG Date: 20 Mar 16 - 04:26 PM Your Imperial Greatness, I thank you for all your great gifts! Right now I am attending the Revels, i.e. The Oz National Folk Festival, which will under way in just a few days. However, rest assured that I have not slackened on my duties in the dungeon, the oubliette has not been forgotten, etc. I am keeping an eye (not my eye.....that of a miscreant) on what is happening via the wonders and marvels of modern technology. As to a successor, how could anyone possibly hope to succeed Your Dazzling Magnificence and that of Her Most High and Mighty Imperial Highness Princes Patricia! May I suggest a trial along the lines of Cinderella's glass slipper? I myself personally would be happy to assist in the lopping off of any superfluous appendages.

Subject: RE: BS: Rap for emperor From: GUEST,Severn Date: 20 Mar 16 - 01:26 PM I'd think I'm entitled to all that Severn's pay you mentioned...... Rap, if your reign continues incessantly (with no offspring offsprung), should Noah and Joan be commissioned to build a Triumphal Ark?.... What successors are swimming in the somewhat trecherous SuckCesspool so far? Don't tell me that Rap ain't gonna reign no more, no more. Who will be snowing us by sleet of hand, and who will we hail should the reign stop? Who shall pay for this drought (as I paid for the last round)? What sort of upper or lower-class precipitation might befall us?.... Considering that most, if not all of us posting are fairly old farts, is there an answer blowing in the wind? Where's the young blood coming from, and is there even much young blood in our official Carry-A-Torture JennieG's blood bank for possible transfusions for the old? I know that Rap can't reign (nor JennieG arraign)forever, but as Royal Costumer (and REMEMBER, costumer's always right!), I'm still working on giving the present administration proper fits, without having to worry about designing new prints for an outfit for some new Prince or princess for them to make their proper imprints on us...... And wouldn't the faithful mate of our current Emperor be first in line to succeed before we'd plant the seeds to appoint (Bless their appointed little head) some future suck-up to succeed at some Succession Session. Her Imperial Highness has yet to speak to us, and she might prove to be the power behind the throne or even the overthrown....... 'Splain it to me, Kingfish...... |

Subject: RE: BS: Rap for emperor From: Rapparee Date: 19 Mar 16 - 06:10 PM Our loyal and devoted subjects, It is with a heavy heart that We address this topic, but We must insure the continuity of Our reign. Being without issue, We now open the search for Our successor. We will entertain nominations and assume that only the finest will be brought to Our attention. After a rigorous examination by Us, a physical examination by Our Imperial Physic, and psychological testing by Our Royal Psycho, We will name the person who will succeed (but can never replace!) Us. Let the naming begin! Emperor Rapparee, Imperious Rex (r) His alternate mark |

Subject: RE: BS: Rap for emperor From: Rapparee Date: 19 Mar 16 - 01:11 PM You have Our permission to do what needs to be done. Jennie G., Our IT, will fully cooperate. Emperor Rapparee, Imperious Rex (r) His alternate mark |

Subject: RE: BS: Rap for emperor From: gnu Date: 19 Mar 16 - 12:59 PM It has been rumoured that there is a Trompe (produces a lot of gas) which has offered for high office in one of Our Emperor's subservient Dominions know as the USA (United States of America). Woefully, reports indicate this gasbag spews drivel and nonsense so as to bloviate his superiority over all others. I take this as an affront to Our Emperor. Given such blasphemy, I hereby request, Rex, (can I call you Rex, (r)? It seems more personal and we're buds, right?), that permission be given to me to extinguish his obviously delusional ravings. Your most humble, g |

Subject: RE: BS: Rap for emperor From: Rapparee Date: 18 Mar 16 - 12:37 PM For failure to use the mark We so graciously allowed, We withdraw from gnu the right to use the splat (or *) as his mark and allow Jennie G., Our IT, to use is as it is reminiscent of the mark made by drops of viscous red liquid found as she pursues her noble task. To gnu We award the humble mark "g" (without the quotation marks) and require him to use it as authentication of his author or other -ship. Should he fail in this, Our desire, he will learn of the splat from Our IT. Emperor Rapparee, Imperious Rex (r) His alternate mark |

He steams lobstahs without any salt. The Old Salt is all about heart health. Proper attention to dietary health is wanted in a Chief Cookie. Kendall for Cookie! says I. |
