Cotton Dee Posts: 76 1/20/2016	What is the difference between a Master Of The Bazaar and a barrel of sheep's urine? Well, one is an over-glorified stinking pss-pot, and the other's a barrel of sheep's urine! Alternatively* The barrel of sheep's urine has better taste! How many Masters does it take to light a candle? Eight. One to be cut up and served to a bunch of Incas, and 7 more to deny it ever happened. Candles? What Candles? Alternatively None, they refuse to light candles, citing the "waste of precious funds one would need to create a neddy-man contingent for the task". -- Henry Lamperouge may be found here... http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/Henry~Lamperouge Current Grind: 1/42 Presumptious Little Opportunites
