Overheard at Today's Pelican (Queen of Arms) Meeting

[lumineaux]

With Lillia being in Boston, I am picking up her quotes duties, at least for those portions of the meeting I was able to attend:

I'm also leaving the idea of Pan-Eureopean patterns open.

How about Bowl-European ones? Or Pot-European?

 

gah, money skeeves me out

 

Are your minions free range?

 

I was wondering how to break up a pomegranate without destroying my laptop

 

The Artemisian Kingdom drink is 'here - try this'

 

And if the short, balding guy offers you something called 'Scorn', avoid it

 

Overuse of italics - roughing the reader five name penalty

 

I'm going to need a stunt liver here I think for my catching up

This is Lingua Anglica

Is that anything like This is Sparta?

 

And Cthuliana says "..."

 

We are Mongol of Borg?

  

We are luxem of bourg! You will be .....

Ha ha! Thanks for covering!

I missed about 4 hours of the meeting in transit, so this is probably only half of our assembled wit.

Free range minions?

[lumineaux.livejournal.com]

Yes. You, for instance, are a free range minion, going off and doing stuff without my telling you to do it.

[alysten.livejournal.com]

I rather like being free range. It's very ... freeing.

I encountered over the weekend yet another protegee sent on a Quest by her Pelican. Feel relieved that I find Quests to be a waste of perfectly good time that could be spent doing something.

And really, with both you and Bruni, it's not so much telling you to go out and do work; it's moderating the amount of work you take on when left to your own devices. ;-)

The Artemisian Kingdom drink is 'here - try this'

Ah, I see you are acquainted with my people. :-D

[lumineaux.livejournal.com]

I believe it was said by an Artemsian herald during the meeting.

and, 'try this' has equated to some truly horrendous 'drinks'. Not to mention things like the rings left on car hoods where the cup that was set down in a spill and then on the car hood - if it will eat paint in seconds, no telling what it will do to a person's insides!
