Really. An entire day dedicated to the speech of the lawless, the dissolute, the disease-ridden, and the ill-educated? I fail to see why this is necessary. Certainly there isn't 'international talk like an urchin day's or 'beggar day' as well. Hasn't the future wreaked enough havoc on the King's English as it is?

[We don't talk about that in the 18th century.]

How nice that you all have so much free time.

We don't. Just because something is observed doesn't make it an official holiday that everyone is obligated to celebrate, but fairness is accommodating everyone so every day has some meaning to someone somewhere in the world. Not everyone celebrates Oktoberfest, but it's one of my favorite observations.

Does it also pay homage to thieves and liars?

Originally it was to celebrate the marriage of King Ludwig I, now it's a celebration of Germany's culture and cuisine. Rides, attractions, dancing, music, parades, beer, and food. Millions of people go to Germany every year, it's pretty exciting.

It sounds charming, truly.

I have to wonder about the sincerity of that statement.

You must, of course, if you feel you must.

[glimmerous_fop]

Well, considering the progressive patterns of our relationship and the fact that you just don't like me, I must.

[chapter_behind]

I'm sorry you feel that way, sir.

[glimmerous_fop]

You don't deny it so don't feel sorry.

[chapter_behind]

As you'd like.
