Loose ends


I thought I'd better tie up the loose ends before the year is out, so, without further ado, I will.


Consequences: Game 2

Beast met her royal highness Queen Elizabeth II at the fish counter in Walmart. He wore a Lone Ranger mask, chaps and boots, and she wore nothing but a smile. He said "Can't read my, Can't read my, No he can't read my poker face (She's got to love nobody)". She said "What makes you think that I liked it when you showed me your Willy?" And the consequence was that they were both forced to watch Ellen Degeneres in the throws of passion.

This game almost died a death, but luckily Princess sashayed onto the scene for the penultimate part, and I utilised Eros' guess for Wednesday, 23rd December film quote title, to finish it off, so SNAPS to him even though he didn't guess correctly. The quote is actually from A Fish Called Wanda. John Cleese's character's wife says it to their daughter when they're about to leave their house.
Needless to say, I won't be doing another one of these in a hurry.


Items of Interest: Saturnalia edition

The item of interest was guessed correctly by Eros, with: "It looks like a smooth, shiny, polished ball--one that hangs on a Xmas tree." Your effort shall not go unrewarded, Eros, but as I have yet to find a suitable prize, you may have to wait a week or so.
Here're a couple of photos of the item in its natural habitat at Castle DeVice:



All that's left is to wish you all a happy new year just in case I don't get time to conjure up my usual Coven Awards on the 31st, and to apologise for my lacksadaisical and somewhat sporadic posting this year - I'll try and do better next year.

  1. That story about Beast and the Queen?

    It's not a game.

    It's all true. Yes, it really happened just the way you said.

    Coven Awards!

  4. Dang it, I thought that quote was from a Fish Called Wanda, but I wasn't sure.

    Still, Wooo-hooo!!! I win!

    Very lovely tree. It looks like it has a dusting of snow on it. The decorations are fantastic, and the ornaments go well with the decor. It looks pretty cool lit up, too--like stars and moonlight wrapped around the tree!

    Is that Liz on the mantle!?! You really are British!

    Happy New Year, IDV!!!

  6. Dear Mr De Vice,
    I'm very glad that my sashaying assisted in your game, As for that other Queen, She'll do it with any thing Just look at old Phil, Beast was probably a lust filled delight compared to her usual fair.

  9. MJ: You know, I thought it didn't sound far-fetched enough?

    Tim: Next time we'll turn the lights off, then.

    'Petra: See reply from MJ, and stop stamping your foot!

    The three of you, plus BEAST: Oh dear. So I really have got to do the Coven Awards? I'd better snap to it as I haven't done any preparation at all!

    Eros: Thank you for the tree compliments - It's the first time SP & I have had a tree in 10years!

    And that is indeed Liz up there. She sent us a card with "Happy Christmas, peasants!" on it. Charming.

    Mark: Well, at least you tried, unlike some of the lazy slackers around here.

    Happy New Year to you, too!

    Princess: I think she may have worn Beast out!

    MJ: He's so high maintenance that he's never happy.

    BEAST: Don't you like winkles, then?

    P.S. You don't have to get me anything too big/expensive to mail as a prize. Just send me a postcard from your part of the world! I'd like to see one from the UK! Cheers!
