and Jacyntha got it from that first Kingdom A/S we had here in Madrone when
Anastasia won (remember that school in Maple Valley?). I remember Cornelius
von Rugen sending her bits of bread on a tray, then they came to me and I
made a snowman, then someone next to me got creative with the crudities and
it was downhill from there :). I wonder where Cornelius and Jacyntha got
the idea from?
Oh, and for the record, if anyone actually THREW food I would pitch a hissy
fit of epic proportions. Not only does it make a mess, and waste food
(which I abhor. I wont do spam carving or anything of that ilk either, not
with the hungry people in the world today. but I digress), but how are you
supposed to tell that 5 year old that its not ok to throw food when they
saw the king do it? Bad news. I am appalled that anyone, much less a bunch
of peers would do such a thing. Next time it happens, send 'em my way and
I'll give 'em a talking to they wont forget soon! Hmph.
Besides which, doing it "our" way is much better, less mess and takes far
more intelligence and creativity. ANYONE can pitch a grape into a cleavage.
It takes a real man to make a green bean squid to sink our longship.
