Send in the Court Jesters!

Thank thee, thy majesty and guests! We are Pyrrkin and Myrrkin, dispensers of witticisms and tomfoolery! Now, I don’t wish to imply that mine goodly wife is careless in the scullery, but my nickname for her meatloaf is “The Blackened Plague.”

Perhaps if thou provided proper utensils, wretched miser! Instead, I am suffered to make do with torture implements that you purchased for half price at Crazy Torquemada’s “Going Out of Inquisition” sale! You try cooking in an iron maiden!

    “THAT’S INSAAAAAANE”
    Honored Husband, can thee get thine monetary units back?
    Dear Wife, I pray, not without a calculated conversion. It seems I have been put to the screw!

    This is going down as my favorite commentary of yours so far. Simply inspired, good sir!

    The Blackened Plague, snort!! I’ve had a few meals like that but never knew what to call it, lol.

      I should name my pot roast that.

      You know the Al Pacino line about a Pot Roast that doesn’t suck? Mine does.

    I did visit mine physician and observed his client waving his arm in a most peculiar way, groaning as he quoth, “doctor! Mine arm doth pain me when I move it thusly!” To which the physician replied, “then do not so move it!”

    • Laura February 6, 2016 / 4:35 pm

      I actually did have a doctor who did sayeth that unto me once upon a time. He then did smirketh and appeareth to be very proud of himself. I refrained from smiting him, tempting though it was!

      Verily I say unto allergic: Me thinkseth thee doth winnith the interwebbeths.

      • Faye February 6, 2016 / 5:11 pm

        Ugg: allergic=alleth

        • Transentence February 6, 2016 / 5:49 pm

          Allergic – wasn’t he the least-known offspring of Alaric? The sickly one?

          • Faye February 6, 2016 / 6:16 pm

            Oh yes. Banished to the land of Histamine never to be seen again.

    I traversed many myles o’er many straets and thusly came upon a tavern. Seeking to slake mine thyrst with mead and meelks I called upon the barkeep of the hostelry “The Toothless Hound” to raise the porticullis and provide entry:

    “Knock knock”
    “Who darkens mine keep?”
    “Catsup”
    “Who taketh the name of Catsup?”
    “Catsup on top of thine battlements and won’t come down!”

    Ah, lamentation. I guess thee had be thyre.

    Isn’t the proper spelling of Myyyrkin, um, Merkin? As in “If ‘t be true thee wast not down visiting at the cat house every night I would not has’t to taketh such strict hygiene measures and don mine merkin.”
