Misses Raggedy Andy

Dear Raggedy,
Oh, you have touched on a subject near and dear to my heart. You wouldn't believe the sights I've seen....Men walking around with boots on their head, socks on their ears, and medals on their toes. It makes me wonder if they just wake up in the morning, throw all their gear in the air, and where ever it lands on 'em, it's good to go <shudder>!

I can't tell you the number of times I've been working in the Tower, have looked at a man, and his outfit has just been a desperate cry for help. Many times, I've had to grab 'em, drag 'em upstairs, and ask that they strip <while I look discreetly away, of course>. The poor man always seems to be a tad dazed at first, but he quickly realizes my motive as I bark out the order of his dress. The amazing thing is no one has refused, or buried their blade in my back yet!

Now, I'm sure everyone has their own style and being unique is surely interesting, being untidy is not. I believe one should dress from head to foot, inside to outside... head gear, earrings, necklaces, shirt/bodice, pants/skirt, armor, weapon, cloak, pack/purse, boots. The more fashionable are also able to match colors and metals, but that may be more than some can handle. I also think less is best, but that's just my opinion.

Thanks for writing and good luck to you, Raggedy. If he gives you any grief, bring him to the Tower and we'll "ambush" him together!

If i see a good bargain on some neato magic armor, i don't care if its pink polka dots on yellow. If it saves me from getting a close up of the ground, I'm buying.

Function over appearance. If i got a raggedy ole pair of boots that seen its better days, but it has nice pockets, im keeping it dern it! I don't care what you say...

Besides, I don't wanna hafta break in a new pair!

And as for your order of appearance , i don't know... Always put the cloak first, cause it gets taken off regular like anyway. Than i like the most noticeble or unique thing first, so they associate it with me. Red armor, red pants, red pouch. "heya red!"

then i like ta put all my other stuff. Pins and amulets and other doo-dads always last, cause they get ya confused and not seeing the big picture. ya don't really notice red if ya see all his 100 pins and pendants in between is armor and his pants...

Hmm, 'lood, have you ever seen that huge Rainbow Tent? It has dyes in it... manly-man colors!

Let's you and me take a little walk, we'll buy some dyes, make just a few little color changes, and then we'll get you all organized!

By the way, where are your boots in this grand ensemble? Hope I'm not sorry I asked that!

All you need is a basket hilted longsword (substitutions acceptable), some suede leather breaches/pants which are pocketed, and a young lady of course! (well, old if ye prefer...)

It envolves not finding a place to put yer longsword...

"M'lady?"
"Why yes sir, can i help you?"

"Well, its seems my long-sword is too big for my pants pocket, would ye mind if I tried to put it in yer scabbard?"
...
"Just to see if it fits of course..."

For some extra chuckles, take it too the tower and ask a lady holding a simple fel box...

'lood
gets em everytime... reg

besides, don't wanna push my luck, don't know how far i can go with these naughty things...

i got some more good ones though...
from long thanot rods imbedded with relief (stun)
to ones envolving the hand of tonis...

and for that lady that just won't give in, got some traplore jokes that you can whisper to yer buddy...

#1 - Has these "lines" actually ever WORKED?

#2 - What IS in the boots pocket?

* Note to Sayrena - Best/worst pick-up lines is a great topic. Start us out...I know you have heard tons!

Sayrena, is he saying, what I think he's saying? And this is YOUR fault! A perfectly nice little letter on style and now... we're talking about the big thing in 'lood's boot! (Wouldn't he be a tad worried about that itchy, athlete's foot fungus).

Summer reg

on second thought,might help make the lines work...

Have you ever heard of laughing death? It's a disease that causes the brain to rot and deteriorate until the person dies. Now that I think about it, it's not that funny. reg
