Thank you, Miss Viv, but they are free to hang around here. We have an urchins-are-welcome policy over at vintfalken.com (besides, I ate all the cake myself, so nothing for them left anyway. ;)) If they misbehave, I have close up snapshots too, I can always make a ‘wanted’ poster out of that if needed. ;)

If the urchins send me an IM, I’ll ‘attribute’ their avie-names in the photograph, I usually do that, but the Crash prevented me from taking note of them.

Please excuse me as I secure Mr. “Dredd Pirate” by the ears and haul him back to Babbage.

Nothing to see here folks!…. Pay no mind to the … well, whatever he is - go on about your business! … Lovely weather we’re having. Yes. Ahem.

HOGGING?! We wern’t hogging nuthin! You said help yerself and we did and it was nice you never said “stop helping yerselfs” did ya? NO.

And hello Vint! Thanks for posting a nice picture rather than the usual posters all covered up with ‘wanted’ and ‘if seen please return’ like normal.

Hope ya had fun and got some cake in before Miss Trafalgar started slapping wrists :/

Ms. Falken, it was a great pleasure to have you in attendance on Sunday. Thank you for the photos and for linking to the transcript also.

Darn, I wish I could have answered your challenge without that being cheating (having the transcript is handy) … I covet that particular gun.

And I’ll let the urchins know you have photo evidence they were hogging the cake.

One of them did manage to set off a small explosive later - perhaps after the cake ran out.

Yours,

Viv Trafalgar

All flattery was sincere! ;) And thank you for correcting this one - even ~~unasked for~~ voluntary - I would not want to accuse those kids of consummation!

Oh, Ms Falken, you are far too kind! I am not sure quite of the the message communicated by berry-based projectiles - perhaps it depends on context, the Language of Fruit is as we all know a complex one and as yet, alas, there is no Babbler for it.

(Given your description of my linguistic activities, I feel compelled to mention, yet slightly guilty in mentioning, that there is a slight difference between consumption - mostly affecting tea and cake, or indeed blueberries - and consummation - mostly affecting marriages.)

It is a free device used to sent visual signals across a distance. It has flags that you wave in a predetermined mannor, to signal letters, words, numbers.

I belive is is often used by the young Caledons, to communicate to their parmours from their windows without their parents knowing about it.

There are short cuts for “I love you”, “I hate you”, “Yes tonite!!” and “That anti-tank round just missed me you inconsiderate fool!”

Correct! More info on the Semaphore Unbound and an example of it’s use.

You’ll get your copy of The Ordinal Wilks&Co Vertical Clock-Loading Pistol asap as I log in tonight, Miss Shockwave. Congratulations on the acquirement of such a fine gun! ;)

It was semophore, a brilliant and wonderful invention, that should be implemented at standard by the Linden God
