Subject: BS: Penelope Rutledge to announce engagement From: GUEST,Miss "Q" of Twillingsgate Date: 11 Dec 03 - 09:42 PM This from the Twillingsgate Herald, December 11, 2003: It is no secret that Ms Penelope Rutledge has been seen much lately in the company of Captain Nigel West of the Coldstream Guards. Indeed the two of them dined only this Sunday last at the fashionable Vicar's Inn, the hub of the Twillingsgate social scene, where observers noted that our Ms Rutledge was in a very merry mood indeed, not surprisingly, as she was escorted by the dashing Captain West who took her out on the dancefloor as they whiled away the hours to the strains of Vivaldi, performed by the Vicar's Inn Ensemble. I for one, dear readers, noted a heightening of colour in Ms Rutledge's cheeks, denoting, dare I say it, the rising of the ardent flames of romance! And why not? Captain West is a rakishly handsome devil of a man, tall and dark, with features that bring to mind the heroes of yore popularized in the great Victorian novels of such as H. Ryder Haggard and Conan Doyle. (Sir John Roxton comes to mind...) Well, my pretties, that is not all! I have it on good authority (from a source I cannot reveal) that Ms Penelope will shorty announce her engagement to be married! This promises to be the biggest event in Twillingsgate since the notorious Malcolm Buggeroll incident or if not that, the end of World War II, and I can assure you that the Twillingsgate Herald will be there every step of the way to provide you with each new tantalizing revelation as it unfolds. Ms Rutledge adroitly avoided answering any of my questions by saying, "Really, Miss Tattle, don't you have an assassination to attend somewhere? Or perhaps a graverobbing that needs doing?" She has such a dry sense of humour does our Penelope... I noted that Winston Wellington-Jones was in his typically dark and sardonic mood, sitting at his favourite table, glowering, and downing an endless round of dacquiris. I was unable to elicit any useful comments from him other than, "Oh. Still alive, are you, Pruella? Damn shame." and..."Look at that bloody toff!" (this last remark referring to Captain West, I assume). When I asked him to expand on that, and share his real thoughts with the readers, he said something I cannot repeat in a family newspaper and then refused to further acknowledge my existence. I expect he shall come to his senses and apologize within a day or so...or else the moon shall turn blue and I'll catch it in my hat and keep it in a thimble on the mantle. The one is about as likely as the other. I suggest that anyone who has the time look up the available information on the Coldstream Guards, the oldest regular regiment in the British Army, at http://www.army.mod.uk/coldstreamguards/ Ms Rutledge appears to have finally found herself a suitable match, and to be headed toward marital bliss within less than six months, I predict. Yes, you heard it here! A spring/summer wedding for Twillingsgate that will galvanize the community is only short months away. Stay tuned! - Miss Pruella Tattle, Twillingsgate Herald "All the news that's fit to print, and a bit more besides." |

Subject: RE: BS: Penelope Rutledge to announce engagement From: GUEST,Miss "Q" of Twillingsgate Date: 11 Dec 03 - 09:51 PM Really? I wasn't aware that Mississippi had such an enlightened form of social development. When did it happen? Are you perhaps referring to the late Elvis Presley? |

Subject: RE: BS: Penelope Rutledge to announce engagement From: Amos Date: 11 Dec 03 - 09:53 PM I suppose the fact that Khandu magically posts only 3 minutes after this momentous news hits the threads is purely a coincidence....Ah well. I am moved to wonder whether the illustrious Captain West -- that bloody toff!--is any warmer in the sack than he is in the barracks? And if so, will our esteemed Penelope detect the distinction? A |

Subject: RE: BS: Penelope Rutledge to announce engagement From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 11 Dec 03 - 10:12 PM These sudden marriage plans surely have nothing to do with... No. Far be it from me to spread idle rumours about the fair Ms Rutledge's health. Have you noticed that there is no period in "Ms Rutledge"? |

Subject: RE: BS: Penelope Rutledge to announce engagement From: GUEST,Ms Penelope Rutledge Date: 11 Dec 03 - 10:14 PM I heard about this from a friend, but I didn't believe it. Now I believe it. Let me be perfectly frank when I say that you can all take a flying leap into Hades! There are days when I wish I had never heard of the Internet and this is definitely one of them. I am going to tell you something about Pruella Tattle. She is the ugliest, most unmarriageable bit of dessicated, sallow, corporeal demon-effluent that ever wielded a pen in her clawlike hand. Why is she still a "miss" at 45? I'll tell you why. There are a great many stupid men in this town, but only a few who are irretrievably insane, and even they wouldn't have her! There is no clammy stone or wornout attress she will not look under, no limit to her mundane curiosity regarding other people's business. She is the living proof that those with the blackest hearts live the longest and talk the loudest, and get paid for doing it! As for you, Amos, I can detect distinctions you haven't even dreamed of yet! You had best watch it, sir. Miss "Q"? I am going to find you, and you will not like it when I do. * PR |

Subject: RE: BS: Penelope Rutledge to announce engagement From: GUEST,Ms Penelope Rutledge Date: 11 Dec 03 - 10:28 PM I meant to say above... "mattress" not "attress"... Bee-dubya-ell, I decided to drop the period from "Ms" some time ago. I also decided to shorten my signing at the end of each post to just "* PR". I hope these changes meet with your approval, because there isn't jolly well much you can do about it if they don't! I am signing off now. Goodbye. * PR |

Subject: RE: BS: Penelope Rutledge to announce engagement From: artbrooks Date: 11 Dec 03 - 10:57 PM Bee-dubya-ell, I note that Ms Rutledge has admitted that she has missed her period, and it has apparently been some time now since she has had one. Perhaps the estimate of a wedding within six months is an outside guess, and the happy couple has already anticipated (or is that consumated?) their marital bliss. |

Subject: RE: BS: Penelope Rutledge to announce engagement From: GUEST,Elvis Presley Date: 11 Dec 03 - 11:06 PM I have not had the pleasure of meeting Miss Rutledge, but I would be happy to do so when I get the chance. She seems to be a real fine lady, and I know what them gossip columnists can be like. Mississippi? Well, I haven't been there in a while. Thank you very much. Elvis |

Elvis, come to Orillia if you possibly can, and visit my friend, Johnny Death. He has a mint condition vinyl album of every single record you ever made, and he would give his eye teeth to meet you. No fooling. He's even got a china Elvis bust that looks you in the eye when you walk into the basement (where all those records are, along with thousands and thousands of others). You would feel right at home. Do it now. - LH |

One of my friends in the retirement 'ome (more like a bleedin' slammer these days) is a lady called Elizabeth what has 'ad some medical experience - she worked in Boots until they caught 'er nickin' fings. Any'ow she's got a magic touch wiv' one of them old-fashioned button 'ooks, athough she often uses a bit o' wire coat 'anger these days. Mindyer she got in a row wiv Matron last time caus she pinched the coat hanger out of the arial socket on 'er old jam-jar. Loose Liz is quite an expert on being up the duff an' all - it was a sorta occupational 'azzard in er ol' job. |

Subject: RE: BS: Penelope Rutledge to announce engagement From: GUEST,freds Date: 12 Dec 03 - 11:39 AM Good day! We have noted the announcement of this happy and joyous occassion and wish to state that we will, most certainly, attend. We wish to accord Mrs. Rutledge-West every possible opportunity for genetically satisfactory reproduction. With this in mind, we will be at the "wedding" and will honor the two with the gift of an unhatched herithim so that their future together will be fruitful and filled with both sexual and asexual ectasy. |

Subject: RE: BS: Penelope Rutledge to announce engagement From: Little Hawk Date: 12 Dec 03 - 04:45 PM LOL! GUEST, if you find yourself driven towards the horrors of self-abuse by the very tame material in this thread, I think you really ought to check out... japanesegirls.com And other such sites... The resultant shock would probably reduce you to a quivering heap of incoherence, and render you incapable of further net surfing for at least 6 months. Be thankful, GUEST, for small favours, and stop skulking around the edges of this forum like some nameless counterpart of Chuchundra the Muskrat, so terrified that he can never venture out of the shadows into the pool of light at the center of the room (see the writings of Rudyard Kipling - "Rikki Tikki Tavi" - for explanation of the Chuchundra reference). Friends, I think Ms Rutledge has really blown a gasket this time, and I can understand why. Let us hope it does not cause her to permanently abandon this forum, as she lends it a bit of much-needed class from time to time. Are you listening, Penelope? We need you here. There are so few good role models around these days... - LH |

Subject: RE: BS: Penelope Rutledge to announce engagement From: Amos Date: 12 Dec 03 - 04:51 PM Ms Rutledge is clearly pissed off, but I see no information to indicate she is knocked up, which is very different both operationally and prepositionally. Dear Penelope, please excuse the roughage around the edges of our forum. It is very hard to get good help ay more, as I am sure you have experienced. Kindest regards to yourself and Captain West, and we look forward to confirmation of the rumors regarding your imminent change of status over in Twillingsgate. Remember, should you become over-burdened with society's insistence on form over substance, you can always come to California where we do it the other way around. Very best regards, A |

Subject: RE: BS: Penelope Rutledge to announce engagement From: artbrooks Date: 12 Dec 03 - 05:02 PM Yes, Amos-you are entirely correct, and I apologize if I inadvertently lowered the tone of the Mudcat to a level which it has not previously plumbed. I can only attribute my misunderstanding of the tone and tenor of her response to those rude and inappropriate remarks made by that latter-day Dorothy Parker to trans-Altantic language difficulties. I clearly mistook one word, used in all innocence by Ms Rutledge in all of her Imperial splendor, for the same word having an entirely different meaning here among the unlettered. |

Subject: RE: BS: Penelope Rutledge to announce engagement From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 12 Dec 03 - 05:25 PM HAWWWWW!!!!! Art, baby, if you think your statement "lowered the tone of the Mudcat to a level which it has not previously plumbed" you have been far too selective in your choice of which threads to read! After all, it was you who was given the title of "King's Personal Royal Bidet" over on the MOAB and that is plumbing far lower than inferring that an Emily Dickinson wannabe who has, in fact, no corporeal existence but is merely the perverse creation of a middle-aged male mind, could, possibly, be in a delicate condition. You can say anything you want about Penelope and there is bugger-all she can do about it because she, like Kilgore Trout, only exists in the mind of her creator. Bruce |

Subject: RE: BS: Penelope Rutledge to announce engagement From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 12 Dec 03 - 11:22 PM Dear Amos and khandu, If your Shakespearian asides are meant to infer that I may be the portrayer of Ms Rutledge, let us dispose of that delusion here and now. At the time of Ms Rutledge's initial appearance, I was a Mudcat newbie of only seven weeks. I'm pretty cheeky, but no newcomer could have invented Penelope. BS of that level takes a while to perfect. I would be capable of such a deed now, but I certainly wasn't then. |

Subject: RE: BS: Penelope Rutledge to announce engagement From: GUEST,Ms Penelope Rutledge Date: 13 Dec 03 - 09:38 AM Tweed, I am really quite sorry to hear that you are still at large. I had hoped that some beneficent divine intervention would have occurred by now to take you off our streets, such as your being run over by a large road-grading machine or perhaps devoured by an escaped pack of Rottweilers. I gather that you are still annoying decent people everywhere and giving drunks in alleyways someone to feel smugly superior to? Pity! May I return your good wishes with a few of my own, and suggest that you consider taking up a more worthy lifestyle as soon as possible. There are schools out there, Tweed, who will take practically anyone and teach them the rudiments of a decent trade. You could become a plumber, and learn how to stop up holes....then take a large plug and a strong monkey wrench...and shut your mouth! If you have the temerity to show up at any future wedding of mine I shall have you thrown out bodily. And there is nothing wrong with my cycles! *PR |

I need a live pig, a set of fresh monkey balls, a rubber Nixon mask, & a complete set of women's undergarments. Any money you would like to donate will be cheerfully accepted! Kk |

Subject: RE: BS: Penelope Rutledge to announce engagement From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 15 Dec 03 - 10:40 AM No doubt about it. GUEST is Winston Wellington-Jones. It's just like him to hide behind an anonymous GUEST face instead of coming right out in the open. You do know that this impending marriage is doomed, don't you? Winston and Penelope will reconcile because each provides a fundamental need to the other. Winston needs someone to bully and Penelope, despite her "liberated" facade, has a deep need to be bullied, abused, and beaten about the buttocks with a riding crop. They deserve one another if for no other reason than to make each other's lives pure hell. I, for one, relish the thought. |

Subject: RE: BS: Penelope Rutledge to announce engagement From: Dave Bryant Date: 15 Dec 03 - 10:54 AM Will it make any difference if PR is with child (or foal) ?

Subject: RE: BS: Penelope Rutledge to announce engagement From: GUEST,Winston Wellington-Jones Date: 15 Dec 03 - 11:48 AM I would relish the chance to pummel all of you bloody sods into insensibility, but it's not worth the air fare. Bee-dubya-ell, you are a simpleton of the sort all too common in the rural USA, and your every word makes that abundantly clear. I have nothing but contempt for you lot. You are worse than that bucolic cretin, Oakley, who recently changed his name to Oaklet to throw me off the track. I can tell you exactly how old Penelope is. She is 25. The silly thing has got herself all in a lather about this preening Captain Nigel West, who is a pretentious bloke, totally stuck on himself. With any luck, he'll get cashiered for gunrunning or caught out in some drunken escapade with the London bargirls, and Penelope will come to her senses. Whether Penelope and I will ever "reconcile" is a matter I do not intend to speculate about here. Suffice it to say that we are on speaking terms...more or less. I have known Penelope all my life, and she has a mind of her own, which can make her hard to deal with when her back is up. That, of course, is a sign of character, but it can also be a bloody nuisance. I predict that Captain West's carriage will overturn within 3 months or less, and then things will get back to normal around here. As for Pruella Tattle, the woman is the lowest piece of gutter-minded trash that ever crawled forth upon this planet, and...she looks like she must have been weaned on a pickle! I believe she is around 53, although she claims otherwise, and has never married (big surprise!). The rumours about the punching bag are true, and Albert has got the sack. The bloody fool is now attempting to blackmail the Rutledges, it seems. Penelope is up to something, but I'm not sure just what it is. I can hardly believe she means to wallop Pruella, but I bloody well hope she does...though it might kill the old bat stone dead. No great riddance if it did, but the legal repercussions don't bear thinking about. - Winston Wellington-Jones |

Upon confirmation of your impending arrival we will procure a large economy-size can of Whoop-ass which will be held in reserve, with your name on it, to be opened immediately upon your arrival. Please advise if you wish to take advantage of this opportunity to meet a few of the fine denizens of rural USA, aka Bubbaland. Sincerely, Bubba-dubya-ell |

Subject: RE: BS: Penelope Rutledge to announce engagement From: GUEST,Captain West Date: 15 Dec 03 - 01:00 PM Wellington-Jones! I forbear from calling you "Mister," as without any doubt you are such a cad and bounder that such an honorific as that is precluded. Sir, your words insult me, an insult which can only be washed out with blood. My friends will call upon you; the choice of weapons is yours,if you are indeed man enough to use them. |

Subject: RE: BS: Penelope Rutledge to announce engagement From: GUEST,Winston Wellington-Jones Date: 15 Dec 03 - 05:39 PM If it were not for the nanny-like interference of certain blathering bureaucrats in high places, I should suggest dueling pistols, West. Alas, it is illegal now to duel to the death in the U.K. This is certainly to your great good fortune, sir! Therefore, what I do suggest is boxing gloves and a 12-round match, Marquis of Queensbury rules, sometime in early January after the festive season is over. I will be happy to provide the boxing ring, the equipment, and a trained referee, and may the best man win. If I were you, I should start training at once, and lay off the figgy duff. It's bad for the wind. You may have your seconds contact mine any night after 7:00 at the Vicar's Inn in Twilligsgate. Ask for Eddie. Prepare for a rude awakening, old chap...or perhaps I should say, a short nap on the canvas. - Winston Wellington-Jones |

Subject: RE: BS: Penelope Rutledge to announce engagement From: GUEST,Captain West Date: 15 Dec 03 - 11:01 PM And so, sir, you would allow bureaucrats to dictate your honour? Were the choice mine, and I will remind you that by some Codes Duello it is, I would scorn the use of firearms and engage you with the small sword, the weapon of gentlemen. Of course, since it is the weapon of the gentleman I am certain that is why you scorn it. And there are certain venues, even in Britain, where such a contest might be waged. I will, if you wish, undertake to thrash you within an inch of your life. But I must, in all fairness, warn you that I have trained with both Captain Fairbairn and Captain Sykes and thus I cannot be responsible for what may happen to you if we engage mano a mano. |

Subject: RE: BS: Penelope Rutledge to announce engagement From: GUEST,Winston Wellington-Jones Date: 16 Dec 03 - 12:09 AM Khandu, I sincerely hope that you are locked up for a good long while by the morality police in Mississippi or whatever wretched backwater it is that you live in. You are an embarrassment. You give new meaning to the old phrase "the Idiot King". Captain West - I think you are probably right...there are such venues here and there in Great Britain if one works at it. However, I do not wish to kill you outright (though it's certainly a tempting thought). No, I wish to simply humiliate you publicly before your peers and mine, and watch you crawl away alive but forever humbled, like a deflated windbag which is what you really are. Clear? WW-J |

Subject: RE: BS: Penelope Rutledge to announce engagement From: GUEST,Ms Penelope Rutledge Date: 16 Dec 03 - 12:44 AM Winston, have you utterly lost your mind? He will annihilate you!!! I suggest you come to your senses and go for a LONG trip to India or some other former colony and forget about this ill-advised attempt to defend your raging ego. Think about India, Winston. All the polo you can play, all the whisky you can drink, and millions of common, non-English, foreign and impecunious people for you to gaze upon in lofty disdain. Crowded streets through which you can recklessly drive at breakneck speed. Legions of naive foreign women whom you can chat up and seduce. Former sites of glorious British victories that you can visit and trample upon. Sacred objects that you can carve your initials in when no one is looking. Priceless museum items that you can pinch and send home to friends in England. Think about it seriously. I do not wish to see you carried home in a battered heap and I think it ridiculous that you insist upon insulting every man I show the slightest interest in. You overestimate both your jurisdiction and your reach. Take my advice and leave now. I know you have friends abroad, and if you don't, well then, I do. Monaco is nice too, and I know you would enjoy the gambling. You could probably meet the Prince and Princess too. For heaven's sake, get a grip, buy a ticket and be done with this nonsense! * PR |

Subject: RE: BS: Penelope Rutledge to announce engagement From: GUEST Date: 16 Dec 03 - 12:56 AM I have come to the conclusion that Penelope Rutledge is actually Little Hawk. I believe this to be truer than the day Penelope was born some 197 years ago. Furthermore I conclude that Little Hawk, being abandoned by the female spiecies, and he having little or no contact with women, decided to create the perfect woman for himself, therefore creating Penelope. Little Hawk probably has a blow up doll in the corner of his bedroom right now named Penelope Rutledge. If I an incorrect about this assumption in anyway, and I don't think I am , I will remove myself from my post as chief inspector and detective. Yours very truely, Sherlock Holmes |

Subject: RE: BS: Penelope Rutledge to announce engagement From: Little Hawk Date: 16 Dec 03 - 01:27 AM My God...LOL! I love it. Here I am back from Monday night song circle and the usual check on Ebay (for model airplanes, Nixon masks, and women's underwear), and the MOAB appears to be relocating to Twillingsgate...sort of. GUEST, it is actually I who have abandoned the females...although I have been sorely tempted lately, I can tell you! There was this gorgeous woman I was talking to in Barrie the other day....sheesh! I don't know how long I can hold out. I had a blowup doll of Maggie Thatcher some years ago, hanging from the ceiling like a Zeppelin, but it exploded catastrophically one day, causing the budgie to die of heart failure. You just can't get quality workmanship anymore. I am attempting to secure one of Hillary Clinton, but with no success so far. Khandu - I have scored a Nixon mask (slightly used) and a set of women's underwear in black lace. Pretty neat! Will these do? The monkey balls have proven impractical...Mr Chongo will not surrender his on any condition. As for the live pig, I think you can easily find one of those in your area. And now...good night! I've stayed up way too late already. - LH |

Subject: RE: BS: Penelope Rutledge to announce engagement From: Dave Bryant Date: 16 Dec 03 - 06:54 AM Winston, Penelope must be seriously in love if she's so keen to pack you off abroad. On the other hand, is she trying to keep you out of the way of Captain West because she is afraid that you might tell him things about her that she'd rather he didn't know ? If PR is only 25 (which I rather doubt - she seems to have far too much knowledge of the world) - then don't you think that she is rather young for an old roue like you - especially one who is known to be greatly addicted to drinking and gambling. |

Subject: RE: BS: Penelope Rutledge to announce engagement From: GUEST,Captain Nigel West Date: 16 Dec 03 - 09:56 AM Wellington-Jones! I am posting you here in this forum, at the Vicar's Arms, and at Twillingsgate House, publicly, as a cowardly bully, a nancy-boy, and one unfit for decent society. Yes, I am in possesion of Several Letters and a Photograph, written by you when you were at public school (St. Dismas? Come now!) and later at University. They show quite clearly your brutality towards your fags and your prefered mode of dress at University. (Really, old chap, a satin corset in that colour hardly does justice those sneering mustachios you affected! And those shoes! Tsk, tsk!) Since it is quite clear that you are no gentleman and decidedly my social inferior (if not indeed a common criminal), I must withdraw my challenge and replace it with my pity. May I suggest that you take Miss Rutledge's advice, and better it by beginning life anew abroad? I understand that few questions are asked in, oh, the Northwest Territories. Because I fear ambush, I have made arrangements with the police that I might go about armed. Please be advised that I am carrying both a revolver and a life preserver and am quite capable of using either one if necessary. Yours, Captain Nigel West |

Subject: RE: BS: Penelope Rutledge to announce engagement From: GUEST,Winston Wellington-Jones Date: 16 Dec 03 - 07:27 PM Aha! Got to him, did you, Penelope? I thought you might. Well, now the coward is shown in his true colours, skulking about in fear of his life with a pistol...and a life preserver! Ha! Ha! Ha! No doubt expects me to sink his punt on the next canal outing! Ha! Ha! Well, it's a damn shame. I was looking forward to a good dustup in January. However, this means I can forego training and continue indulging in the customary "pleasures of the flesh" without letup right through the holidays, so there's a bright side to it after all. India? Well, why not? I've been thinking of buying a private jet. Put aside this nonsense about Captain "Wassiname" and we can jet out there together for the holidays. And try being just a little bit less sarcastic, Penny...I may be a libertine, but I am not completely without scruples. Dave Bryant - I am not too old for Penelope. I am 27. When I was 7 and she was 5, we kissed under the gazebo at Rutledge Mansion. I, of all people, should know if I was too old for Ms Rutledge. You accuse me of being a roue and an addict to drink and gambling. Well, sir, I beg to differ. Though my dalliances with the fair sex are, at this point, a legend, I am far too young to fit the term "roue". I shall no doubt be a roue some time later...in my 50's, 60's and 70's. Count on it. As for gambling and alcohol, I admit to a liking for both. I make no apologies for that. Now why don't you idiotic lot of yanks get off this thread and go back to eating hominy grits, skinning "possums" and menacing underage girls... WW-J |

Subject: RE: BS: Penelope Rutledge to announce engagement From: GUEST,Captain West Date: 16 Dec 03 - 09:16 PM I have hesitated to do this, even to the extent of sending a blank message, but I feel honour must be served and the truth told. Know all, that I, Nigel West, Captain in HM's Coldstream Guards, name Winston Wellington-Jones a COWARD and a CAD, and quite unfit to associate with decent people. When such charges are made the reasons for them should be understood. Know that I have documentary and photographic evidence to prove the following: *that while a student at St. Dismas School, Wellington-Jones did abuse those "fagging" for him in the most beastial and brutal manner, details of which will be supplied only to adult men of the world; *that while a student at this school he was found on numerous occassions to have broken into the Porter's Cottage, looking for drink; *that he was well known to the Masters and Fellows as a drunken lay-about who would rather thrash those in the First Form than socialize with those his own age; *that while at University he was known as "Winston Wellies" from his favored footwear; *that when asked to try for the Eleven he begged off, saying that his face was "far too pretty to be mashed up for something a silly as the honour of the School"; *that at numerous private parties in the University Commons he did appear wearing only a satin corset and high-heeled shoes, asking to be called "Winnie dear"; *that he has never been able to hold either his liquor or his tongue; *that he has been often challenged, but on the sole occassion he accepted a challenge he fled upon discovering that his opponent was not, as he first thought, confined to a Bath chair. Let him answer these charges as he will. Nigel West, DSO Captain, Her Majesty's Coldstream Guards |

Subject: RE: BS: Penelope Rutledge to announce engagement From: GUEST,Sherlock Holmes Date: 16 Dec 03 - 09:34 PM Little Hawk, Of coarse, of coarse I was mistaken when I said you were abandoned by the female species. Upon my investigation I did certainly know that it was you that abandoned the spieces. I also knew about that blow-up Margaret Thatcher dolly of yours but I did not want to turn this into some kind of public humiliation, that my friend, you can do on your own. Upon futher investigating, I also concluded that your alias is in fact Penelope Rutledge. Your writing styles are similar and your response to me also indicated that you are the guilty party, by not responding to all allegations. Thank you for confirming my suspicions I am indeed quite satisfied now, so I suspend all surveillance practices. Yours very truely, Sherlock Holmes |

Subject: RE: BS: Penelope Rutledge to announce engagement From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 16 Dec 03 - 10:20 PM Dear Sherlock Holmes, May I point out one vital piece of evidence that you seem to have overlooked in your rush to convict our friend Little Hawk of impersonating one or more Twillingsgate residents. If you will compare the posting records of Little Hawk and Ms Rutledge you will find that on any date that Ms Rutledge made one or more posts to this forum, Little Hawk also made one or more posts. At first glance, this would seem to be incriminating circumstantial evidence. In reality, exactly the opposite is true. A devious mind like that of our Little Hawk would be absolutely certain to guard against the possibility of being caught in the act by seeding the forum with posts made in Ms Rutledge's name at times when it would have been patently impossible for him to do the posting himself. If Little Hawk can say, "It is absolutely impossible for me to have made that post at that time on that date because I was on an airplane over the Atlantic Ocean" his ass is covered. The fact that he has left his ass uncovered is prime evidence of his innocence. People like Little Hawk always cover their asses. Convoluted? You bet your sweet ass it is. Johnny Cochran's probably in awe. Sincerely, Bee-dubya-ell |

Subject: RE: BS: Penelope Rutledge to announce engagement From: Little Hawk Date: 16 Dec 03 - 10:29 PM Bee-Dub, Sherlock's lousy spelling has me thinking he's you! Now that IS devious. Either that or he's Tweed, but I don't think so. Tweed spells even worse than that.

Why don't you both cross the Atlantic and hold your duel over there. Handguns are legal and readily available, and it will make it easy for the inhabitants of the ex-colonies to satisfy their curiosity about the niceties of english etiquette (or the less-niceties if we're referring to Mr Wellie-Jones - isn't he a filmstar who used to play soccer for Wimbledon ?). Ms Rutledge could remain in Twillingsgate, comforted by her many remaining admirers, and swoon (or show other signs of grief/joy) when the result of the duel is reveal to her by telegraphic means. |

And in what cloistered bower In what perfumed boudoir Doth their maiden wait? Her breath coursing in whispered snatches Her birdlike heart pounding Like the pendulum of a tiny Swiss clock Fashioned by some wizened machinist of yore Toiling over the instruments of his ancient trade Like a god toiling over the creation of a sentient ape! Nay! Think not of death and tragedy. Think rather of the merry play of the Fates Weaving their inscrutable tapestries Upon our vagrant lives With complacent, fathomless disdain Tempered by a teaspoon of easy grace. If 'twere not for the fact That a lady abandoned is akin To a fine car that lacks a differential Better that both these heroes should fall And thus in their falling Provide fertile ground for a century Of exaggerated tales of manly prowess... But wait! The hour soon arrives. And I must hasten down the following wind To Rouen, marvelous Rouen Where my lover awaits! Angelique! I am coming! I cannot stay and see blood spilled upon this field. Let the devil take the hindmost And may it be Winston. - Malcolm Buggeroll (writing from Rouen, France) |

Subject: RE: BS: Penelope Rutledge to announce engagement From: GUEST,Captain West Date: 17 Dec 03 - 09:09 AM "Wellies" -- Gentlemen NEVER engage with those who are their inferiors socially, financially, intellectually, or morally. Nor do gentlemen engage with cowards and criminals. I might possibly have discounted much of your past as the peccadilloes of youth, but when I discovered that you regularily cheat at Patience! And that you even attempt to do so when you play on a computer! Well, really! Since you are so utterly inferior to myself, and, I might add, to Miss Rutledge, I could no more meet you on a field of honour than I could do what you used to do to those poor "fags" at St. Dismas. You are utterly without honour, courage, or moral fiber and, I suspect, beyond redemption. I have put up my revolver and life preserver. One does not need the protection afforded by honourable arms from such a slinking, bestial, quivering, opportunistic, immoral lickspittle as yourself. Instead, I am carrying an entirely appropriate dogwhip which I intend to use on you should you be unfortunate enough to cross my path. Captain West, DSO |

I want to thank you on behalf of all the young women in Twillingsgate for taunting Winston in such terms as will probably drive him right round the bend. What is it the Americans say? "LOL!!!" Oh, this is just too much. You have us in stitches here. Please don't misunderstand me when I say I can only encourage you to keep it up... for Penelope's sake at least, if not for your own. Oh, LOLOLOLOL! Miss "Q" |

Subject: RE: BS: Penelope Rutledge to announce engagement From: Amos Date: 17 Dec 03 - 10:09 AM There is no reason Wellies can not rightly be labeled a roue,for which the definition from the American Heritage is simply: NOUN: A lecherous dissipated man. ETYMOLOGY: French, from past participle of rouer, to break on a wheel (from the feeling that such a person deserves that punishment), from Old French, from Latin rotre, to rotate. See rotate. |

Subject: RE: BS: Penelope Rutledge to announce engagement From: Rapparee Date: 17 Dec 03 - 01:06 PM Oh King, to whom shall I send the bill for cleaning the horse pucky from the streets? Two hundred horses and three hundred remounts produce quite a bit of, well, "hoss leavin's." We can't wash it into the Portneuf River or the EPA'll be on us like stink on...like flies on a gutwagon. The city doesn't want to clean it up, and 'most all of the crack shots and crack riders have either gone home or wandered off. Bobby Joe's Manure Haulin' and Barbecue will take care of it, but they want to get paid. So, where do I send the bill? (I think that I can fix up those complaints about paternity and busted-up bars.) |

Subject: RE: BS: Penelope Rutledge to announce engagement From: GUEST,Enrique Gomez Date: 17 Dec 03 - 01:35 PM You should do what we do in Cuba with the horses. Hang a cloth bag at the back of the horse. The bag catches all the mierda and keeps the streets clean but it does not prevent the horse from urinating in any way. In this way we have many horse carriages, as you will see in our cities, yet the streets are kept quite nicely clean. I think you should send the bill to your Presidente, Bush. He can spare so many billions for conquering Iraq that I think he could pay this one little bill for you. |

Subject: RE: BS: Penelope Rutledge to announce engagement From: GUEST,Ms Penelope Rutledge Date: 17 Dec 03 - 01:43 PM I should like to remind everyone that it is Miss "Q" who is entirely responsible for this idiotic thread, and she is going to pay dearly for it when I find her. Which I shall. (I was disgusted to see one of Malcolm Buggeroll's poetic ramblings on this forum, but it's a minor distraction. The man is incapable of creating anything artistic. His only talents lie in enlarging the boundaries of perversity. He has fled to France, where such things are more readily tolerated, and that is a blessing for the British Isles.) * PR |

Subject: RE: BS: Penelope Rutledge to announce engagement From: GUEST,The Twillingsgate Herald, Special Edition Date: 18 Dec 03 - 12:46 PM - Ms Rutledge Wallops Miss Sherbrooke!!! Town Aghast!!! - Patrons at fashionable Freddy's Cafe were shocked this afternoon when a screaming fistfight erupted between Ms Penelope Rutledge, 25, and Miss Connie Sherbrooke, 23. Ms Rutledge was seen to march into the cafe at around 2 pm, while Miss Sherbrooke and two other ladies, Miss Finch and Miss Ponsonby were having tea. "She looked like a woman on a mission," remarked Morty Watson, a waiter at Freddy's. "She was clearly out for blood, if you ask me. Here's what I saw. She walked straight up to Miss Sherbrooke's table, where the girls were chatting and laughing about something, puts her hands on her hips like this (demonstrating)...and says, ""Miss 'Q', I presume?"", glaring right at Miss Connie Sherbrooke. ""What did you say?"" replies Miss Sherbrooke. ""You know exactly what I said, you lying, treacherous, gossip-mongering little snitch!"" snaps Miss Rutledge. ""Stand up!!!"" ...and the whole place goes silent. "Well, Miss Sherbrooke she gets right up out of her seat and BOOM! Ms Penelope whacks her and they start fighting right in the middle of the cafe. I've never seen the like of it. Everyone was sort of paralyzed." "So, the upshot of it was, Ms Rutledge landed a wicked combination of rights and lefts....smack! smack!....Oh, I'm glad it wasn't me on the receiving end...and Miss Connie lands flat on her back on the floor and decides to just stay there for a bit, which in my opinion was a wise decision. She looked pretty stunned." "Ms Rutledge then dusts off her hands, says ""Put that in Pruella's bloody gossip column, you little spy!"" and storms out of the place. It was all over in a few seconds, seemed like." "Miss Connie was very upset, understandably, and left the Cafe immediately afterward, accompanied by her friends. I am given to understand that Ms Rutledge went straight to the police station and turned herself in, or something like that." "I am in deep shock. I never thought I'd see anything like this happen at Freddy's. Our customers are normally very well behaved, and Ms Rutledge has dined here on numerous occasions without incident." The Twillingsgate Herald has determined that Ms Rutledge did indeed turn herself in to the Twillingsgate Constabulary, and admits freely to have struck the first blow. She has been released on probation, according to Constable Forthright, and will not be required to post bail. We will follow up with further details as soon as we have them. - Clarence Farrell, Twillingsgate Herald, Special Edition |

Just what I would have done in your position. All is forgiven! It doesn't surprise me that it was Connie. I know that one, she's a tricky bird, and she's never liked you one bit anyway.

You low cur, you have caused Miss Rutledge to forget herself and run afoul of the Law! Oh, yes, I know. I have been investigating the source of the scurrilous rumours regarding Miss Rutledge for some time, and only today did I come across irrefutable evidence of your complicity! Were I not Under Orders I would hunt you down like the beast you are. As it stands, I am attempting to obtain a deferment in my reporting date so that I can assist Miss Rutledge in any way I can.

Subject: RE: BS: Penelope Rutledge to announce engagement From: GUEST,Winston Wellington-Jones Date: 18 Dec 03 - 05:16 PM Oh, sod off, West. I have known Penelope all my life, and I am not about to abandon her or conspire against her, though we may have our disagreements from time to time. You are losing your bearings, sir. You are in the grip of some raving fantasy. All the better, I say. Penelope will soon realize what a tremendous mistake it would be to marry you, and she will dump you with a sigh of relief. I hope your "Orders" dispatch you to Afghanistan ASAP and some Taliban fanatics blow your silly ass to blazes. I haven't got time for your rubbish right now. WW-J |

Subject: RE: BS: Penelope Rutledge to announce engagement From: GUEST,The Vogon High Command Date: 18 Dec 03 - 05:50 PM Greetings, Earth slime: We Vogons are getting ready to build another bypass. However, you lucky slimes, this time it will not be necessary for us to destroy your entire ugly little planet. New technology has made it possible for us to build the bypass in the form of a tunnel through the planet. This tunnel will be five of your miles wide. Its point of origin will be in the desert area of what you call "Australia". Its point of egress will be in what you call the "United Kingdom" where a village known as "Twillingsgate" is currently situated. Residents of "Twillingsgate" are hereby duly warned that your village will cease to exist in approximately five minutes. We strongly suggest you take advantage of the remaining time to leave, pray, or put your finances in order. We are sorry for the inconvenience. Ha! Only kidding! No, not about the bypass. About being sorry, dumbass! Sincerely, Vogon High Command |

For the nonce, then, let us bury the hatchet and work together to extricate her from this difficulty. We can discuss our differences later. Nigel West |

I'm still waitin' for me Christmas gift wot me nephew Tommy is sendin' from America...a boxed set of Wrestlemania DVDs! Wait a minute... 'Ere, it's been 7 minutes now...I fink they's lyin'. Wait. It's been 8 minutes. Everyfink looks awright outside to me... Right. They was lyin' to us. There ain't no Vogon 'igh Command. Well, it was Connie Sherbrooke wot done it awright. She always was a nasty bit o' crumpet wot liked causin' distress to others, she was. Got me fired one time. I used to be the Sherbrooke's gardener and 'andyman back in '97. Come to fink of it, she 'as indireckly got me fired again! I finks I know where Ms Rutledge got the tip, but I cannot reveal me sources at this time. Suffice it to say that if you want inside info you've got to go to the domestic staff for it. It's this wot makes us inmeasurably valuable to the privileged classes, and secures us our jobs. Also, we don't mind gettin' our 'ands dirty! I am presently engaged in negotiatin' wif Rutledge House, and I just want to say that I didn't mean no harm whatever when I mentioned the punchin' bag, but was just expressin' me honest admiration and regard for Ms Penelope, along wif me concern that someone might get 'urt.

Subject: RE: BS: Penelope Rutledge to announce engagement From: GUEST,Winston Wellington-Jones Date: 18 Dec 03 - 06:25 PM Agreed, West. Now you're talking sense. I shall disregard our past disagreements and conduct myself in a gentlemanly manner. It's an unusual situation here, requiring mutual cooperation. There may be significant legal entanglements ahead, and it's best that we don't muddy the waters by trying to kill each other. Cheerio. Respectfully, WW-J p.s. If you've got contacts in the overseas service, see if you can set them on that swine, Malcolm Buggeroll, and put a stick up his wicket. The bastard's in Rouen, apparently, and is most likely in the company of a French tart named Angelique. She is far more dangerous than he is, I might add. |

Subject: RE: BS: Penelope Rutledge to announce engagement From: GUEST,The Vogon High Command Date: 19 Dec 03 - 06:57 AM Greetings, Insignificant Earthlings (I don't know why I bother to communicate wth you really): Do you really expect us Vogans to measure time in the same paltry units that you do on your puny little planet ? Our home planet is much larger than that minute lump of excremental rock which you call Earth, and because of the machanics of our star system, orbits our five stars in a series of highly variable orbits. Thus the Vogan year may range from 47.41376 of your earthly 'days' to 213,864.98643. We still split our year into similiar periods to you earthling, but our time periods are therefore of dynamically variable duration. A more detailed survey has shown that there is a powerful source of hyperspacial noise situated near the cesspit which you designate Twillingsgate, which you refer to as Hull. This will have to be completely irradicated if the settings for our bypass are to remain stable. On a recent trial run of the equipment, stray 9s completely wrecked the alignment and delicate components were damaged by the smell of curry. Our preparations will therefor take about 17.17954 of your 'days'. Like many Vogans I am a keen poet and would be willing to accept bookings for a reasonable fee at any of your local 'Folk Clubs' while the construction fleet is in this part of the galaxy. Perhaps I may be able to encourage you to book me by reminding you that we will need to perform some preliminary calibration tests of our destructer beams and that I have researched the exact locations of all club organisers in advance. A suitable fee would be about £1,500 in your local currency - or alternatively I would accept healthy women or children to sell as slaves/food. The being who you know as jOhn from Hull is in fact one of our surveillance robots and all offers should be routed via him. |

Subject: RE: BS: Penelope Rutledge to announce engagement From: GUEST,Captain West Date: 19 Dec 03 - 08:54 AM Wellington-Jones, We're agreed then. Our personal disputes can be taken up again later. I quite agree about Rouen, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if certain things happened there in the very near future. A bit of a warning first off, perhaps, something that can't very well be ignored. You're quite right, I have Certain Friends in Certain Places, most associated with the Paras and the SAS. I've also taken the liberty of contacting my friend Nevil Bruce-Aldersmythe, QC, who will be on the way to Twillingsgate tomorrow ack emma. No charge, he owes me some favours. My orders have been deferred while this business with Miss Rutledge plays out -- the Colonel is a most understanding gentleman and his connections at the War Offic are impeccable. Oh, yes. RSM "Hammer" Siddons is also popping in. You'll have heard of him, I'm certain: All-Service wrestling champion, instructor to the SAS and SBS in hand-to-hand, and a knifeman and pistol shot without peer anywhere in the world. I rather think than Miss Rutledge could use some relief from those press vultures, don't you? NW |

Subject: RE: BS: Penelope Rutledge to announce engagement From: GUEST,Winston Wellington-Jones Date: 19 Dec 03 - 10:59 AM By Jove, Captain West, I have indeed heard of "Hammer" Siddons, and I should very much like to meet him over a glass of port. I see that I may have underestimated you, in my natural desire to protect Ms Rutledge. I dearly hope that the swine Buggeroll is eavesdropping on this thread, as he will be shaking in his boots now, I trust... The man is an arrant coward with far too high an opinion of himself. He always wears a kilt, usually with nothing else under it so I understand, and fancies himself to be the most irresistible sexual athlete in the civilized world. He has given great offence to Penelope in the past, which nearly led to his sudden demise. (It happened that they were alone in the library at the Vicar's Inn, you see, and there are a couple of old sabers hanging on the wall there...well, Penelope tends toward quick reactions when they are absolutely required. I'll say no more about it.) I also had the pleasure of thumping his fat face...once only, sad to say, but he wouldn't get back up and face the music. Things are looking reasonably "copacetic" here at this point. Penelope was very upset, but she is regaining her composure now. Not a peep has been heard from the Sherbrookes. I think they may let it pass, rather than opening "Pandora's box" by taking legal action. Legal action between the rich in Twillingsgate can take years to reach any resolution and impoverish a generation in the process. And it seems that the police here would just as soon let it pass as well. I had a drink or two last night with the chief constable, Wentworth, who is a reasonable man, and I have the impression they will not press charges. So far so good. WW-J |
