the ‘king’ can say whatever he likes - this \*\*King \*\*has the support of the tiger wielding pie bringing people and has promised beer.

Your typo will be your undoing.

No, we’re a syndicalist-anarcho collective… or was it a collectivist-anarcho syndicate? I can’t keep it straight.

Pretenders to the throne can quibble about trivialities like grammar. The true king speaks how he likes.

Your whining from the dungeon will go unanswered.

All this palace intrigue is wearing on the nerves. I’m just looking for my Prince. His shiny armor was delivered. And the trash needs to go out to the curb.

Sorry dude, you can’t lock me up, I have the Praetorian Guard backing me up, and we are loyal to the true and rightful king, **simster the magnificent**.

You were too busy appointing ministers, viziers, and jesters while ignoring the people and the need for beer.

I say unto my followers thusly…

Beer - beer and beer. We shall have beer from the kegs, the cans and the rivers themselves shall flow with the water that makes thine beer.

We shall also have pizza - and pretzels.

Let those that stand with that four-eyed guy rejoice - for they shall have beer as well - for I am an honorable and just King. but for him - he can have… well hell - he can have a beer too - but only one - until he dost see the error of his ways.

uhhh — better make that four then.
