Assign yourselves positions at the palace de la Barb.

Let the games begin.

Deva, interim leader of The Barb?
Denfeld=Monarch?
Alas, favoured at court?
Me? I play kickball up against the palace wall from time to time... but then they release the hounds. (smiley)

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

I'm the guy in the corner drinking white cider trying to convince the dogs to skin up for him.

Imagine Prince Philip without the racial slurs.

Jack Denfeld

Who wants to be the slow prince who is hidden away at some countryside cottage?

17:27 / 30.04.06

I like to think I'm Lord John Wilmott Earl of Rochester, but I'm more likely his imaginary nerdy gay kid brother who writes a lot of mediocre philosophical poetry about why getting it on with another man is the height of revolutionary expression for the ideal freethinking man, but never actually talks to people so can't get laid.

Who wants to be Falstaff?

Kali, Queen of Kitteh

18:09 / 30.04.06

I'm the spinster auntie whose personal predilections are much discussed in hushed whispers at family gatherings.

"There's a reason she never married, y'know..."

"Oh, really?"

"Well, apparently--"

When royalty comes up, I usually stake my claim as Princess Cassandra. Although I haven't treated Barbelith to any dire, unheeded and ultimately correct premonitions. Yet.

Imagine me standing in a corner somewhere.

Aertho

19:21 / 30.04.06

EXCUSE ME?

Mistoffelees

19:56 / 30.04.06

Yes! Let the intrigue and double-crossing begin!

Aertho

20:15 / 30.04.06

Yes, well, I should have seen this coming...

And I'll have you know, "Kay", that Cassandra Chesedda Chadita Lucita Maria Consuelo Diego Diablo Estevez ain't no one's "princess".

I'm what you'd call a queen. Part-time, anyways.

penitentvandal

20:44 / 30.04.06

I think I'm probably the sensitive royal spiritual advisor who nevertheless seems vaguely sinister in some way and is very careful never to be interviewed or to even reveal where he lives...

Ganesh

20:50 / 30.04.06

I always used to think of myself as Barbelith's Queen Mother, because I seemed to have accumulated a degree of Barberoyal respect simply by having been around a long time. And possibly having beige teeth. She's dead now, though. Hm.

21:25 / 30.04.06

Cassandra, what do you mean by linking to that post? I don't quite understand.

one point, oh

21:35 / 30.04.06

Oh I see, the lets-all-massage-the-oldbies-egos thread! Well I'm having none of it...

Having said that, I guess I'll be the sewage repair guy (read: poopsmith). Little do you fools know however that I am emperor of that fetid underworld, and slowly I am creating a subjected empire of clones from your sanitary towels and lost pubic hairs.

It seems we already have 2 corner dwellers; if this becomes a common trait we are going to need strange polygonal rooms for the family gatherings.

Aertho

21:57 / 30.04.06

I mean to say I like the pole and the hole. Queen in the Freddie Mercury sense. I suppose toksik's a funny one to link to, as hir posting style has drastically changed in recent weeks.

Mistoffelees

21:57 / 30.04.06

Hehe, poopsmith reminds me of the guy standing in the king´s toilet in The League of Gentlemen´s Apocalypse. That Royal Court should be an inspiration for us to aspire to.

22:03 / 30.04.06

I took it to mean you were a part-time queen the way bisexuals are part-time gays (a sentiment which I think is wrongheaded), and so I was bothered by that link. I still don't understand why you did it, and if someone can point out why the link is either clarifying or funny I'll be appreciative.

(Also, Jack Denfield.)

Aertho

22:17 / 30.04.06

It wasn't that funny. And it was exactly the sentiment that you have issues with, so let's just let it fade... on with the show. Barberoyalty?

22:56 / 30.04.06

Shit. I think I'm Princess Margaret: always there; smoking, drinking; and no-one gives a shit.

Mistoffelees

23:32 / 30.04.06

Be grateful, you´re not the other princess. You know, the one with the defective Hyde Park fountain.

Anyway, isn´t Margaret the one with the corgie-munching pitbulls?

paranoidwriter waves hello

23:40 / 30.04.06

I guess on the Barberoyalty sliding scale I'm Michael Fagan: "Spare a cigarette, Your Highness?"

*Looks over shoulder nervously*

Kiltartan Cross

23:47 / 30.04.06

Hey, I've no objection to having a roaming rampant doppelganger. We can make soap together.

I wonder if there's a position as Court Revolutionary?

Benny the Ball

00:39 / 01.05.06

I'm probably the friend of someones friend that once had the prince ride through a bit of land that they owned or something....

Tryphena Absent

00:42 / 01.05.06

I like to think of myself as Lady Gabriella Windsor, 31st in line to the throne. At 13 she was suspended from Downe House for possession of cigarettes.

Mistoffelees

08:15 / 01.05.06

I´m Sir Isaac Newton!

All Acting Regiment

08:18 / 01.05.06

I'm the one who decides whether, legally, you're eating a banana "after the fashion of the ape" or "after the fashion of a man", the latter involving knives, chopping up and custard, and the former being illegal at Buckingham palace, beleive it or not.

Feverfew

10:44 / 01.05.06

I'm happy being a barbe-peasant, toiling in the fields and vinyards in the sunshine. Not that I don't look up to the castle on the hill in between cutting the corn with my sickle, but I'm happy enough where I am...

Mistoffelees

11:17 / 01.05.06

Are you a member of an anarcho-syndicalist commune, fever?

Feverfew

12:10 / 01.05.06

I was so going to avoid that joke, Mist. But fair enough, it was at the top of my mind when I wrote that anyways... And, well, in answer to your question, no...

Mistoffelees

12:32 / 01.05.06

I thought as much and couldn´t resist.

I´ve been rewatching the movie for the last hour and it holds up much better than most other MP movies.

The Return Of Rothkoid

Who wants to be the slow prince who is hidden away at some countryside cottage?

They told me it was a holiday!

Hang on. Where's my pants? Who are you people?

Mirror

23:54 / 01.05.06

Royalty? Pish. Age and lineage mean nothing to a SELF-MADE CAPTAIN OF INDUSTRY!

Hmmm... perhaps my next acquisition should be a tabloid newspaper! The fall of the royals always makes for good fodder, and were I to be clever and purchase the correct company, I could end up with a certain member of the royalty already in my employ, all the better to obtain the juicy gossip from the invitation-only fora!

Bard: One-Man Humaton Hoedown

02:14 / 02.05.06

My my my. Royalty.

I am happy in my country estate. With my dozens of servants. And my writing, and art, and the occasional duel with the gentleman down the way who INSISTS that I have stolen his mistress from him. Now I would of course give the chap some credit if he didn't insist it every other week after I promptly made him drop his sword.

Oh I'll pay tribute to your court every once and a while. But I would rather be a Lord than a Prince.

Lord Bard. It has rather a ring to it, don't you think?

Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

02:22 / 02.05.06

Damn.

I suppose I'll end up the stable boy, yes? Mucking out the barns in overalls and very little else? Let me just get a bit of hay to grind betwixt my chompers and some oil...
