The Academy: A Play in Two Acts

[attack_laurel]

Act One:  A delightful grassy courtyard, people sitting on benches.  Two depressed-looking apprentices come out, with a board strung between them, roped around their necks.  This is the lectern.  A dapper gentleman in a very fine appliqued doublet walks up to the "lectern", throwing candy cigarettes to the audience.  He smiles.

Ah, Tobacco.

Thanks for a lovely and entertaining evening. It was nice to finally meet you and some of the usual suspects from your comments board.

It's sort of sad you need to add the disclaimer... Probably wise, but still sort of sad that people don't get the concepts of satire and play. :P

Thanks again!

There is at least one person out there who claims the Attack Laurels are real, and that I'm a horrible person who claims it's a joke so I can get away scot-free with being a vile person.

The Vortex of Evil had several people ask them if it was real, or what, so yes, I need the disclaimer. :) Doesn't mean I can't have fun with it, though. Hee!

*sigh* It's sad that some people have teh dumb. :P Luckily, it's a fun toy that we don't have to share with those who don't get it.

Oh they can go in the corner and pee their pants. I am so sick and tired of the quivering masses blaming us for their psychosis-level insecurties.

Jump in the deep end or get out of the pool, ya wusses!

But my therapist says that is really *is* your fault you know...just saying...*grin*

[kass_rants]

Well, of COURSE it's my fault. I do it on purpose to keep the masses down, you know.

[hsifeng]

That's because you are a professional dear. Never a break in your industry, just the *crush* *crush* *crush* of peoples souls day in and day out...

Tiring really...

*chuckle*

[kass_rants]

Heh. It's a living...

[valkyr8]

Well of course we're real!......or is it just me?

Right hand to god, people I know found your site and said that I must be part of the Academy. I think they meant it in jest, mostly. I took it as a compliment.

[attack_laurel]

Believe me, if they tell you, it means they are joking. If they really believed it, they wouldn't tell you, they'd just snarl as you walked by.

*innocent*
