Goose - Gander Equanimity Proposed (Talks to be Held ON Lake Geneva)

[malfred]

Once upon a yesterday, the King of Markland (a very small, gray, convoluted country almost entirely surrounded by walls of bone known collectively as The Great Skull of Markland) sent an urgent missive by e-page to the Queen Mother of Rowan, who resided in Sharishortland (where all they eat is Sharishortcake) and rashly, resoundingly, and regrettably demanded that HER nation's news should henceforth be disseminated daily rather than biweekly, as had been her wont since joining the LJ distribution network. In response, the Queen Mother of Rowan confirmed compliance, yet rightly and wryly challenged the churlish Marklandian monarch of heinous hypocrisy. "You haven't updated yours since October, you dick!" quoth the Queen Mother with that tact, delicacy and erudition for which she is so fitly famous and favored in the far-flung foyers of royal reception.
