Subject: The Super Loo

Sir SuperLou -

We knights are ones to make with the good laugh whenever possible.

I didst chide and taunt Sir Bester unmercifully about the head and shoulders, concerning the untimely death of his Pentium, upon this very night. And didst receive a standing ovation from the front row, I did.

Well, Sir Burners DID send me a congratulatory note, but no flowers nor candy. The others are not so well afflicted with the curse of the funny bone as Sir Burners, though the night is early and some may yet send up a flare.

I took it in the shorts for several weeks, about some of my international site-surfing, a few months ago. (Best not to bring that up, though.) <-grin->

Now, the following is true to the best of my knowledge, though I have not done extensive research to prove it.... (Hell, that's more than enough evidence to convict, so why not to make with le joke?) <-snicker->

At lunch today, I mentioned the Knights names to a friend of mine: Sir Bester 'O Babylon.... Sir Burners 'O da Great Blue Yonder... Sir SuperLou... At that point, he started laughing, uncontrollably.

Turns out, the rest rooms at airports or other large places in England are often called "the super loo" (not sure of exact spelling). Or, as used in a sentence, "Pardon, while I pop out to the super loo."

Not being American-speak, I was unable to locate the difinitive resolution to this question in my Websters Unabridged (five inches thick, like you find on the reference table at a library).

I'm sure, however, that you've heard the Britts talk about the loo, haven't you?

Well, this brings us to a crossroads (you'd find that punny, if you knew that my last name was SteinCROSS.) Whether to broadcast this "revelation" about your chosen name (true or not) to all the knights, and have a fine old laugh about it, or not.

Under any other circumstances, I'd not hesitate. We all can take a good joke, even when we are the butt (yea, cheap pun) of it! You have not been exposed to our collective funny bones, so I choose to tread lightly on your nerves, lest they become raw and inflamed (and I get flamed).

So, I leave it to you, good Sir Knight. If you find the content of this message funny, feel free to send it IN FULL, with your retorts, taunts, research to the contrary, and all other comments, to the entire Knights Who Say Ni! population, and be exposed for the funny guy you are.

Or, don't, and I'll say no more, know what I mean, know what I mean?  

And, besides, where else would a guy with your gift for choosing such a wonderful name, fit in more than with a Winky, a Toadie, an Anole (a timid lizard), and a Weasel (just another damned name for a ferret!)? Yes, you can see which of us are less serious about our names! By comparison, such names as Van Dan, Bester, and Burners, are almost "reasonable". <-grin-> (Oh, I'll hear about that one, won't I?)

I ran across a guy playing Death Match, who goes by the name of Toilet Duck! Now THAT's a self deprecating name, if I ever heard one! <-ha->

Go ahead with the superloo joke, I wasn't offended.

Lates,
