Queen is not sure she likes various and sundry members deciding their fates themselves.

Then again, it beats us having to do so.

**tom,** I will do my best to convince them not to come after the mods. When I’m finally overruled, however, you’re on your own. When you hear the saxaphones, start running toward the forest. Good luck.

It says in the Rules that poison ivy and oak are banned from this land.  
I have no say in what is done with small mamalian rodents. But why do you think Royalty always had such LONG, ermine robes?

M’Lady, as newly annointed [Court Jester](http://www.bandsbackstage.net/spotlight/C_JEST.jpg), er…I mean…-snerk-… newly appointed [Court Jester](http://www.fotosearch.com/comp/ISI/ISI107/DIFLI034.JPG), might I suggest that you crown our dear **featherlou** as

The Royal Soil

😉

Ahhh, an echolalic Sammich Servant. Most excellent. Most excellent.

\<—Twirls, bows, flatulates towards Royal Court, flees cackling from room in a manner befitting the Jester.

She is already the Lady of Dirt. But she could be Soiled as well. Up to her.

No more flatulence in my Court. Kytherialand does not allow for that type of gas.

Also, we all weigh 10 pounds less, automatically. And none of us have cellulite.

It is done for lo, I have decreed it.

(I could get used to this)
