I call Queen! I’m Queen Eleanor and that is final. this is (like the present Queen) merely a courteousy, for show like position. I will advise, listen and go walkabout. Yes! Finally, a place where my true nature will flourish. I promise to wave to the hoi polloi at regular intervals. 😃 (where’s the crown for this smilin’ face/) ---

Oll Right! Listen up, subjects. Imma gonna go over this here once. First–this is **Kythiera’s** thread, and mebbe she shouda been Queen, but she’s a goddess anyways, so we are still claimin’ it. Second-Royal appointments are made by Us and Us alone. Got that? Third–No-one can have access to M&M’s unless we give permission. This honor is granted us by Divine Right. No watery tarts for us–this was one hot dude, who flew down to us on a cloud and annointed us Queen. Fourth–jeezus, this job has alot of redtape. **What Exit, Sir** , besides being a polite interrogatory, is also now our #2 man. (let’s hope his last name isn’t Warbeck) **Cartooniverse** has been promoted to Jester of this land. His “correction” of our knighting was most amusing. This time. **Regallag the Axe** --sweetie darling, your our big, strong Enforcer. Without you, lil miss Queen here couldn’t go all Wayne Brady on anyone’s ass. We proclaim thee, **Scarface Reg the Axe, LLC.** **Ying** We understand that you would like to serve Her Majesty in a most important way. Confectioner is not a job to be taken lightly. Tootsie rolls are an abomination unto God, and don’t forget it. This role does not allow you access to M&M’s. Duties of Head Confectioner are as follows: You must make all desserts, snacks, elevenses, teas, midnoc snacks required; you must taste test all desserts that are served; if an offering is not found to be of our liking, you must finish it off; you must also keep us in a size 10, size 8 is preferred, but we are being Reasonable and Flexible here. Splenda is not allowed. Saccharine is right out; Nutra-sweetis banned. Only Swiss or Dutch chocolate is used, I prefer dark, with nuts. And so, as we have deemed it, so it is written: **Mistress of the Melting Point–Lady Ying!** Carry on. ---

**Mistress E of R, ML of P:** Ooh. ooh, can I be **Master of the Games**? Please, please, I promise I’ll stay away from the M & M’s and I’ll make good use of all the games, balls, cards and assorted recreational devices to keep the masses entertained. Come on you know, this is made for me. Puhleeeze??? ---

I beg your pardon. \ What ho is this? Whom is this \*\*E of R \*\* of which you speak? We are Queen, simply. Or simply Queen, if one prefers. \ Queen Eleanor, if one must–but there have been a few of those, and not all to our liking. Towers and milestones–what kinda tributes are those? Jeesh. :rolleyes: Now then, **MBG** --we are a most reasonable Queen and see the Need for Someone to Play With. Not all of us are good at Games, you know. No indeed. If one cannot be athletic, at least one can be an athletic supporter. This New Land that the Goddess has found for Us–it will need strong subjects to mine, er, work, er- be productive. Hence, we deem Games Important, as evidenced by the capital letter beginning the word. Please kneel. \ Arise, **Sir Sixteen Inch Guy**. Be sure to use your newfound glory honorably. I will be sure to take a keen interest in your, ahem, ascensive progress. ---
