ES - Fool's Revel

[gutridge at us.ibm.com]

Squire Dragonetti the Inept......I like that.....  I think this should be
your new title.  But don't worry, I'm sure I'll steal this cherished title
from you soon.


You didn't earn your pardon squire!!!

While it was my intention to let this thread die a quick death, I feel
compelled to make a final comment. While I appreciate Siade's faith in my
abilities, I agree with Lord Timothy that Her Majesty's honor and good name
must be protected. Her Majesty's true beauty shines no matter what her
attire through her eyes, her voice and radiant soul. And upon these I have
no skill to render. And to Sir Galen I say: "Absolutely Right!"  (harumpf
harumpf...hey I didn't get a harumpf outta that guy)

In humble service to Elfsea and Ansteorra,
Ld. Armand Dragonetti

    No, he's saying that the computer equivalent of taking a nude
    body and pasting Sara's face onto it -- _especially_ without HRM's
    leave -- would be obscene by any reasonable definition of the word.

    Besides, as any fool knows, "the Queen in all her splendor" includes
    crowns and gowns, a fine throne, and finer jewels, a great king by
    her side, the kingdom they rule, the armies they command, and the
    artists they inspire.  Matter for a fine painting, but never a
    computer-doctored photo.

    It wouldn't be "the queen's beauty", but someone's fantasy of the
    queen, a matter best left in one's private thoughts, and then only
    if one is the king.

    Well, as to that, a recently-made squire is expected to be inept.
    As Good King Gerard once said, "all that red belt really means
    is that some knight, somewhere, thinks you can't make it on
    your own".  But Armand doesn't need my guidance to know that to
    to create an image like that of the queen, though perhaps not
    different in technique from the methods used to illustrate "Sfi's
    'Dream'", would surely be of a wholly 'nother moral nature,
    and his judgement and dignity would never permit his
    attention being turned to such a matter.  _Isn't_ _that_ RIGHT,
    _squire_?

    To paraphase Billie Burke, "are you good bard, or bad bard?"
    "But I already told you..."
