Do you hear a mouse?

Someone slid this under the door at Castle Argghhh! and scampered away on tiny little feet. Good thing, too. Little Girl's peeved (see post below). Even as we speak, she's walking around humming:

Dark Riders briefed on April 26, 2004 12:29 PM Hail Dark Lord of Aaaaargh! (Fusileer 6)

I noted that you left a laundry list o'questions at Lady Michele's Demesne. Did you donate $100.00 for your questions as the Lady requested? Or were you just taunting Lady Michele again? If you did not donate, then I just did for you (via the Victory Coalition, snicker:)).

First off, silly little english kniggit - that wasn't the challenge. This was:

"What I would like is for you to open a post to your readers where they ask you questions about blogging and you answer them. And if they don't have any questions about blogging, they can ask questions about you. And maybe you can make an about page from those answers. An About Blogging page and an About the Author page. Ok?"

Michele further elaborated:

"I'm gonna throw in this as well: For every question asked that I can provide a decent answer to, I will throw in a dollar for SOA. If one hundred of you ask me a question, that means another hundred dollars for the SOA. If anyone wants to match this, that would be fantastic. I'd like to hit the 10k mark today - here's where we are at."

I don't recall stating that I would match anything. My contribution was 10 questions to the total so she'd hit her hundred. We are pleased to note, however, that we duped you into donating to her! Part of our evil plan.

The mouse continues:

Also one of your questions was about the Cute Little Dead Girl, Lenore, to wit:

"9. Being Dead, does Lenore smell? If so, she should visit Ghost of A Flea and bid on the cologne!"

As a gentleman and Dark Knight (who never gives up even when his limbs are hacked from him, right?) you should be better versed in your knowledge of the dark arts (you do seem to have a liking for things that go boom and reek of sulfur)?

So for your ken and edification, I will divulge what little I know of Mistress Lenore. Living people who meet her seem to have no problem with her smell and her pale grey skin complexion (they do not appear to even notice). They react to Lenore as if she was a normal living breathing 10 year old girl. Eerie thought that, the lonely little girl "living" in the big house by the cemetary. Perhaps you should invite her to Castle Aaaargh! for a tea party. She really likes tea parties (and she loves Kitties, though perhaps a wee bit too much (hint - hide your cats!))! And she might like the spooky old walls of Castle Aaaargh!

We thank the mouse for this info. We still suggest he visit the Flea and bid on cologne. He smells, well, mousish.

The squeaks continue:

Oh and here is a small challenge for you (Beats Shield of Aaaargh! and blows the trumpet to get the attention of the Lord and Lady!)

Oh Dark Lord of Castle Aaaaaargh!

Post a picture of Lenore at your Castle of Aaaargh! and we will donate another $100.00 to the Victory Coalition in your name. That way you will be showing true chivalry and reverence to both the Ladies in question (Michele and Lenore), you will also be helping the Victory Coalition to catch up with you (that is what you asked for is it not?) and you will be inspiring me (a evil snickering civil servant wannabe remf type) to do a good deed (by parting with some of my ill gotten silver from my GS pay) in your name.

Do stop that racket, please. And would you PLEASE learn to spell Argghhh! One 'r', two 'g's, and three 'h's. Sheesh izzit that hard? And send your money to Michele in Our Name.

Did you miss this post, silly little english mousie?

If so, you must have missed this graphic...

The mouse further spouts tiny little threats in his tiny little voice:

What say you to this parley?

Yawn.

Post Scriptum: Taunt Michele a second time at your own peril! We trust that you are a true Dark Knight and not some snivelling taunting fwrenchman throwing cabbages and chamberpots. Do not disappoint us! For we are fell and have more loot to donate to SOA via the VC. (And thanks to you and your Host of the Fusileers for the Great work gathering all that loot for SOA! Huzzah!)

I say this.

Dear Dion Celine, or whatever your 7thATC name is... (heheheheheheheh)

Like the French Knights {bad french accent} - "Go away, or I will be forced to taunt you for a second time!" {/bad french accent}

But don't forget to send that extra $100 to Michele IN OUR NAME! (Gimme a copy of the receipt, too!) In fact, ya oughta give $200 for not fact-checking... but unless you've gotten promoted, we've probably shaken all the coinage out of your pockets we can.

Taunt Michele a second time?

Gladly!

As I asked before - why would anyone want to donate to these guys?
