Dancing Dolphin Member Registered: 03/06/06 Posts: 2529 Loc: Southern California	Geeze, Hannelore, you'll say anything to please 'da queen, won't you? She's got so many of us in her will, I bet all we'll get is cookie crumbs! (oops, now I'm OUT Of the will...) JJ, can I come clean your moat?

jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	Moat? Moat? I think not. Besides, Evie is on permanent duty with the moat cleaning until we clean up that sassy mouth of hers. Now, just give me a minute, can ya? I'll go over the list and see what's available. No, don't thank me...I do what I can ... Now, let's see here... Scrub royal floors (including dungeons) - TVC Scoop royal poop in horse stables - Hannelore Feed and water the royal dogs, and walk them - Celtic Sharpen da Queen's royal knives - Meredith Bail royal hay with old timey rake - Jane Clean all 7 royal thrones (as in bathroom) - ? Dust the royal shelves - New Leaf Wash royal carriage/car - mitzkity Guess what honey...... _________________________ Queen JJ www.queenjawjaw.com All Things Royal - 2010 and Beyond Humorist for the NABBW

Dancing Dolphin Member Registered: 03/06/06 Posts: 2529 Loc: Southern California	All that's left is the bathrooms?? Hmmm, okay, I'll have my girl call your girl and we'll get it taken care of. By the way, I'd be careful about having Meredith sharpen your knives. Don't play any music... she might start her wild dancing and with knives in her hands that could be scary. (Hannelore, how'd you get stuck with the poop job? You must have said something really bad!) Happy Monday everyone! Kathy

jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	Ms D---you've been behavin' royally here lately and have bowed to da Queen here when necessary. You have been given pardon...for a while. Hannelore, I'll take over from here hon. Golden coins? Who knew? Kathy, not to fret. My poop don't stink. I know that's true because I heard one girlfriend of mine say that one time. At least I think that's what she meant. She said, "Oh you know Queenie, her poop don't stink." Isn't that what you take from it? what? _________________________ Queen JJ www.queenjawjaw.com All Things Royal - 2010 and Beyond Humorist for the NABBW

Eagle Heart Member Registered: 03/22/05 Posts: 4876 Loc: Canada	That's one list I'm glad to be left off of!! No poop-scooping for me, thank you very much. I'll just quietly and VERY unobtrusively pray for everyone else on the list, how about that? I read JJ's book quite awhile ago...every so often, if I know I'm going to be travelling by bus, train or airplane, I'll take it with me and read it again - it not only gives me pleasure, but also "advertises" JJ's book to everyone around me (lots of people on buses look to see what other people are reading) while I'm giggling away in my seat. _________________________ When you don't like a thing, change it.

I love to come here and get a dose of royal sweetness and where else but here? Who luvs you babes? Huh? Huh? I do! Now don't go sticking your hands out for an allowance...geeish...give um an inch, they'll want your Oreos...sigh, what's a Queen to do ... its hard being me. Now, let's see, I still need people for the royal village and plundering on Saturday, 2:00 till 5:00. Anybody? Saundra? Dotsie? Orchid? Po? Louisa? New gals? You get your own sword and everything! And gets this ... saddles/reins helmets (with logos, or without) can be purchased at a discount. I try to give everybody a break when I can. No, don't thank me. _________________________ Queen JJ www.queenjawjaw.com All Things Royal - 2010 and Beyond Humorist for the NABBW

And just to show you gals that da Queen's heart is in the right place, I'm giving each of you a tattoo. Now pay no attention to the MacDonald logo thingy on them, they're mind, I swear it! And I wanted them to be easy, so all you do is peel and stick them on. How cool is that? Who's Ronald you ask? Why ah...well he is the ahhh...Oh, he is the Royal Knight of the Yellow and Red Table. Uh huh...sure nuff. So, who's in for some good old fashion village plundering? Hmmm? Guess who's coming along for funnees?

Anno Member Registered: 09/15/05 Posts: 4434 Loc: Minneapolis Minnesota	A list to avoid, that is for sure. And from what I have heard, a will to avoid, too, because I am sure it avoids work; Adopt her grandchildren, royal cleaning, throne redoing, etc. I want to read the book. I am going to buy it and bring it along on my next vacation. I want to see how many people on the airplane I can annoy with my laugh. _________________________ Follow our story of living, loving and laughing with a debilitating disease: http://www.multiplesystematrophyandshy-drager.blogspot.com

Dancing Dolphin Member Registered: 03/06/06 Posts: 2529 Loc: Southern California	Oh great queen, (or should that be capitalized? Queen!) can I switch from bathroom cleaning to plundering? That sounds like a lot more fun. And maybe I'll find a knight I can rescue and take back to my cave with me. He can see where I've stuck all my fancy tattoos! Uh, yeah, I'm in!!
