Is Lord Ellpus Gustav's long-estranged twin brother?

You know - it is a little Oedipal - in the sense of classical tragedy - where fate, despite puny human efforts to avert it - marches inexorably towards the predestined conclusion...

Gus, in attempting to use his freakish development and prescience to destroy his brother, but placed him where he was always meant to be - amid wealth and power.

Can a mere capybara farmer - like Oedipus' father - truly mean to derail the workings of fate?

Let him look to the corpse in the chariot dust....


However, this betokens gloom also to Ellpus.... (note the similarities to the fatal, dolorous, name - OEDIPUS.....)


The raven himself is hoarse that croaks the fatal entrance of Ellpus unto this battle....

I've just been to the Quacks in order to get some tranquilisers due to this ghastly mess....feel a bit drowsy.....I walked in and the Doc says to me "Ah, Ellpus, I thought that the day couldnt get any stranger...and then you walk in....do you know what just happened?"

"How the bloody hell would I know?" I replied.

"A man came in just before you, and he had a frog sitting on his head" Said Doc " I asked him what on earth was going on, and the frog replied "I'm not sure, it started out as a small wart on my bottom", bloody strange....."Now, what can I do for you?"

Anyway, cut a long story short, I've got the neccesaries, and have taken a double dosage, and am returning to the fray a new man.

Having seen that rabbits eloquent passage, it has inspired me to quote the immortal Bard, to give me heart for the battle to come.

" On, on, you noblest English.
Whose blood is fet from fathers of war-proof!
Fathers that, like so many Alexanders,
Have in these parts from morn till even fought
And sheathed their swords for lack of argument:
Dishonour not your mothers; now attest
That those whom you call'd fathers did beget you.
Be copy now to men of grosser blood,...........*< those two upstarts>*
And teach them how to war. And you, good yeoman,
Whose limbs were made in England, show us here
The mettle of your pasture; let us swear
That you are worth your breeding; which I doubt not;
For there is none of you so mean and base,
That hath not noble lustre in your eyes.
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!' "


I shall have a small nap now, tablets working and all that............
.......................zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzmmmmmmmmmm......rrrmzzz.......

It can't be...Gus a twin...whom shall i love ...money or the man with a sharp point on his pitchfork...Things change so much when you stray away from home...hmmmmmmm i wonder if they are anatomically the same...always wanted to return home to England

....zzzzzwha?...mmm....."DAMN HIM"...................."ITALIANS, ALL THE
SAME"...........zzzzzbbrrrrrr......mmmm........"NANNY, WHAT'S THAT BROWN STUFF IN MY BEDROOM?"...............mmmmmzzzzzzzzzz..............
...ppffweeeeeeee.............."SECRET PASSAGE?".........zzzz....................
................................zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzfffraaaaaaa................mmm..
........."ZULU, THOUSANDS OF 'EM !"......wha...WHAT?

"Time for your morning snifter, Sir"

"Wizzo, what is it today?"

"The Corvoisier '59 Sir, northern end of the vineyard, shall I switch your computer off?"

" Yes Penbury, good Lord, is that the time? I must have dozed o.<click>
........................................."

Dear Gus has been strangely quiet lately, by the way!

Is it possible? ...instead of twins, could this be more like a case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?

If that is the case which one is evil. Granted, Gus sharpening his pitchfork with a vengeance, while talking to himself in a dark barn dosen't look good, but who hasn't done that, WHO?

:wink:

Re: Lor Elphus found


One "L" old boy, something to do with railways, I believe.
The PROPER Title has two.
Ho Hum Ellpus.

So do I understand that Gus is the evil twin? I've thought of him as cranky, but not evil. Really, I think this forum is big enough for the evil, the cranky and the eccentric. Gus has plenty of places to pitch his fork and I think many a soul here would miss the Lord's wit if he was to made into compost.

Gus & Lord Ellpus should embrace each other like the long lost brothers they might be. They can share war stories over tea and bangers, trade outfits for fun, swap wives, visit each other for holidays, maybe even gang up on Kicky for starting all this... the happy possibilities are endless.

Oscene Twitch is right, Gus and Ellpus should embrace each other for a long time and bang wives during the holidays, after they gang bang Kicky endlessly just for starters.

Great idea OT, pip-pip!

It is 1.10am on Saturday morning and I have just had a call from George's special assistant (dont they know about time zones?). It was lucky I couldnt sleep, as I would have been most annoyed.
His short message was...."The Monkey lover has been sent on a wild Goose chase".....whatever that means.

Hmmm...that is interesting...I love monkeys. But then doesn't everybody?

Ellpus, have you come to your senses and decided to place me in your will yet?

I've just had a revelation!! I've had the most peculiar feeling all day.
I was awoken by Penbury this morning, and felt like someone had just walked over my grave.
It has been bothering me all afternoon, and I went to bed at 11pm (over two hours ago) and could not settle. I told myself to not be so silly and to get some sleep......then it dawned on me..SLEEP!! ..I remembered I had been dreaming earlier on and that it had some deep meaning. But like all dreams, they vanish almost immediately when one wakes.
What was it that was in that dream?........and then it hit me, square between the eyes. I remembered Penbury switching off the computer AFTER I had napped.
It would only take a minute to see the section on this forum that covered my sleep period. If I had uttered anything, it would be recorded.
So, I looked at this thread again, and there on Page 3 was the uttering that gave me the eebie-jeebies. I mentioned a SECRET PASSAGE!!
It all came back to me in a flash........Mama took me to a wall in the great Hall when I was about four. She pulled back one of the tapestries and told me that when I got bigger I could "look for answers on the other side"
I didnt have a clue as to what she meant at the time
I am now going to investigate the area thoroughly, and get back to you with my findings.

Dagnabbit, that call was for me <dashes off>

What the hell is going on here?

I wonder where Gus is? I wish we could get these two together finally, so that the tearful reunion might begin.
