She's skinny enough to bottle. Perhaps as an export, we can call it Mrs. Pepper.
"La Poivre" surely!
to be sold alongside "Dr. Pauper"!
"La Peste" to most of us music lovers.
and most 'pastey' to be sure!
must be the artificiality of LV.

Very funny take on Canadians back on the last page.
Although i am alive to the devious liberal plot which all Canajuns would love to perpetrate on God Bless America . . . i am endlessly amused by their Boy- and Girl Scout public behavior . . .
I am also endlessly amused by Setanta's tendency to cause trouble when he pops up here in the frozen north.
Tip for Americans: If you visit Canada anywhere south of Nunavut in the summer, please don't bring your ski equipment, and if you do, please refrain from complaining why there is no snow at customs. This violation of Canajun politeness laws will result in a cavity search, just because.
I just try to reinforce the stereotypes, Boss, more fun all 'round that way . . .
Really, Set......we know you're evil. Admit it.....come on.
My strength is as the strength of ten little doggies, because my heart is pure . . .
which all brings up the deep philosophical (oops are we allowed to swear here) question is 'evil' bad, or is 'evil' good?
Quote:Lancelot is the greatest of Arthur's knights. Son of King Ban of Benwick, he is known as Lancelot of the Lake or Lancelot du Lac because he was raised by the Lady of the Lake. Among his many adventures are the rescue of the abducted Queen Guinevere from Meleagant, an unsuccessful quest for the Holy Grail and the rescue of the queen after she is condemned to be burned to death for adultery. Lancelot is loved by Elaine of Astolat, who dies because her love is unreturned. Elaine, the daugher of King Pelles, tricks Lancelot into sleeping with her and from that union Galahad is born. His love for Guinevere ultimately brings about the downfall of Arthur's realm, and the destruction of the Round Table and its noble achievements. Lancelot turned monk and lived out the rest of his life in repentance. Click below for one of Lancelot's many adventures!
See here, Set what a pure doggie's heart gets you? You don't want to grow up to be a monk do ya?
Evil is better.
Ah, but Launcelot du Lac was not pure of heart--hence, his inability to attain the grail. My quest is more pedestrian, however, i seek the Holy Food Bowl . . .
Laugh
But he said he had the strength of 10 because his heart was pure. I guess he made a mistake about that. Evil is always better.......it brings the food bowl right to ya. Unlike this guy Perceval the boring, arrogant person that he represents. We know about doggies and their carnal love.
Quote:The quest for the Holy Grail can be undertaken with any hope of success only by the pure in mind, body and heart. Lancelot, the best knight in the world, was disqualified because of his carnal love for Guenevere. Perceval didn't love anybody or anything, except his own purity. His strength was as the strength of ten because his heart was pure, and whenever he found himself in danger of becoming impure he was saved by some simple act of faith. Fiends burst like sausages all around him as soon as he made the sign of the cross, which he always did just in the nick of time. He was, in fact, too pure for the mundane altogether, and after attaining the object of his quest, passed out of this world without even bothering to die.
Perceval was pure the way an animal is pure: without thought, without evil intent, without lust, avarice or envy. He was pure because he knew no better. Purity exits by comparison with the impure, the flawed, the crooked and imperfect. Purity creates an impossible standard, both for the pure and the world in which the pure resides. Perceval was impossibly pure, and went out of his way to display an arrogant, aggressive purity that drove people crazy. The pure person is never happy, and finds satisfaction only if he is better than someone else, or if someone or something obliges him by failing.

Who wants the Holy Grail anyway? I'm with you, Set.......I'd rather eat (and enjoy the rewards of carnal love).
While yer perusin' all that Arthurian soap opera stuff, Boss, have a gander at Sir Palomides. He ought to have been called Sir Palomides the Hapless. He was everybody's patsy, because he was a Saracen. When he converted to Christianity, everything cleared up for him--and he drops right out of the story . . .
The Arthurian cycle is full of strange and wonderful characters: Alesaundre l'Orphelin, Tristram and Iseult, Maleagant, Marhalt, Sir Beaumains, La Cote Mal Taille, the Green Knight, the lunatic sons of King Lot of Orkney: Gawain, Gaheris, Gareth . . . An' ever one of the wimmins is just as evil as the day is long and hard to get through.
Best version: Thomas Mallory's Morte d'Arthur, published by Caxton in 1485 as The Death of Arthur. Most darkly humorous: T. H. White's The Once and Future King (the title is taken from the epitaph record in Mallory--Hic iacet Arthurus, Rex quondam, Rexque futurus, "Here lies Arthur, once and future King."). Most bizarre: John Steinbeck's Acts of King Arthur and His Noble Knights, left uncompleted at his death, and strongly suggestive of pyschedelic drug experiences.
My favorite little book . . .
I thought Arthur's fate was because he slept with his (half) sister - thus producing Mordred?
You know, any child therapist knows that some names inevitably bring a bad fate with them - had Mordred's mummy only named him Allan, or Simon, or some similarly sunny name, all this trauma could have been prevented.
And I am sure Guenevere was terribly disappointed by Lancelot's later monkishness - what a putz!
my, my, i'm surprized you all totally forgot the crazy representative of the Roi de France (especially you Set!); i don't think she was royalty, no doubt the 'issue' of hanky panky in the 'Chateau'.
Now what was her name.................
oh yes, Celine, - Celine De One! that's it!
