[Ansteorra] How to Trap a Laurel

[SBarrett]

"And there are some shy Laurels.  I have met them.  But in
performance of our duties in aiding artisans to be their best, we should
never have to be lured like a mythical unicorn."

Umm... I'd like to point out publically to my fellow Laurels that you guys 
are ruining what could be the wildest Arts & Sciences blowout the Kingdom 
has ever seen!
If we convince people we need wooing, we could have full body massages while 
reading docs, with champagne and quail eggs and those little toast things 
with smoked salmon while artisans display their work with wet bars and 
chocolate fountains and showgirls wearing nothing but feathers and jewelry 
and oiled towel boys with sloppy hair and sedated monkeys wearing little SCA 
outfits all dancing around suggestively like a Kafka-written nightmare when 
not leading you gently to the vomitorium.

I'm not ashamed of my dreams!

: )

Anyway, all joking aside, yes, most of us became Laurels because we geek out 
on the very things artisans are working on - we can't help but pay 
attention, most of the time.

Her Grace Willow was honestly trying to lend a helping hand, give a few 
pointers to those who have never displayed before, but she was trying to 
help, not declare Commandments. If your table has just your favorite 
drinking mug and your art on it, we will stop by.

Shame though,... everything is better with monkeys.
