Druss~

a nice blanket invitation, so like you

no dress code [of course you will be wearing that smile], again so like you

Due to circumstances of the festival the host of Druss's blanket may leave at any time

i would imagine. you to a T. the picture is complete :-)-

At this time I understand the combats will be held at 100 paces with insults the chosen weapons.

Suits me admirably, but poor Christopher will be shattered. He was so looking forward to trotting out that claymore.

For the curious, Christopher's preferred weapon is not the mine of recent vintage (though I briefly considered showing up with one of those) but the Scottish Chthllaouighmuieouyrrghgh, a large two-handed broadsword much esteemed by members of the soldiery who lacked the wit or skill to wield anything more sophisticated. This weapon, together with the Scots habit of imbibing excessive quantities of distilled beverages before combat, historians hold chiefly responsible for the extended British domination of Scotland.

If you mention this device in Christopher's presence, please take care to use the authentic pronunciation; he is sensitive on this matter and it is only polite to indulge him. Authentic pronunciation may be effectively rendered by inhaling a large flying insect and attempting to dislodge it. Presence of a Heimlich-certified rescue worker is recommended.

It might be better not to mention it. You might, though, wish to direct critical remarks at the cut of his mail-coat, which is hopelessly out of date and needs much attention from the local ironmonger before it could even hope to be passed off as au courant.

It's May, it's May,
the lusty month of May,
That lovely month when everyone goes

blissfully astray.
It's here, it's here,
that shocking time of year,
When tons of little wicked thoughts
merrily appear.
It's May, that gorgeous holiday,
When every maiden letches for fun,
wholesome or un.
It's mad! It's gay, depraved in every
way.
Those dreary vows that everyone
takes,
everyone breaks, everyone makes
divine mistakes.

The lusty month of May.
