The Hideout Marquee - need help

[mpbrockman]

But lo, this last Saturday night I witnessed the near unthinkable. Kareem took on the marquis alone. Armed only with his wits a, long pole, nifty shades and an especially aerodynamic haircut he fought the good fight against the dastardly foe.

The battle was long and arduous. Sweat covered our hero as he struggled mightily and with all valour. In the end, the marquis was stripped of all of his accoutrements and left a blank slate; unable to communicate, devoid of all meaning, empty by any measure.

Kareem missed total victory and complete control of the marquis by mere millimeters (5 to be exact).

So it is written, "He who can render his opponent's existence meaningless can (with a little help - perhaps from Home Depot or maybe Lowe's) eventually impose his will, grant new life and new meaning to his adversary, and be crowned with many crowns for his achievement. But beware! The now barren marquis may be employed in nefarious ways. Woe be it to him who would turn the marquis to his own selfish ends, for that is that path which gave the marquis his fearsome powers in days of yore. The puppet becomes the puppet master, evil prowls the mainstage once again and the end times draw near."

*quoted excerpt above from fragments of the ancient "Tome of Hideout Lore" recently discovered behind that metal grate that supposedly keeps people from climbing the ladder near the catwalk. Yeah, right...

The eternal struggle. Kareem vs. the Marquis. Yin and Yang. Light and Dark. Sweet and Sour. Which is which? Who can say? They have been entwined in conflict for so long, it is hard to know where one ends and the other begins...

From whence cometh this hatred, this eternal enmity? No one knows. But perhaps a clue may be gleaned from the combatants' very names.

One wears a cravat at half mast according to the rules of Gentlemanly Guide for Formal Dress as outlined in the tome penned by the famous fashion icon, the Vicomte D'Chemise. The Tome, entitled, "Le Messieurs Guide de tenue Correcte et étiquette et les mœurs dans la Société Correcte" , covered everything from how to dress for a coronation to what petit fork to use for your escargots on Le jour Des Pantalons.


Please refrain from mentioning your nipples again upon this forum, as there are females who read these electronic postings, and such talk is considered vulgar in proper society.

Je vous prie de m'excuser! Henceforth "mamelons" shall be the epithet of choice should that anatomical reference once again be needed.
