Sir Dynadan is known as a jokester, though the only joke that is recorded is
the following joke told to the High Prince, as a jest because the High
Prince hated fish:

"It would appear you are a cousin to the wolves, not eating fish but instead
eating only flesh."

First, what does this joke even mean? Everybody laughed at it. Second, he
told this same joke twice in a single week to the same man. Would this joke
be funny twice?

Only if you lump all your alternate personalities together, in which
case I suppose you can be regarded as the #1 contributor of lies,
nonsense, and phantasy, and perhaps the #1 reason for the general
decline of posting.

I realize it's difficult for people like you to understand, but no one
wants to watch you masturbate.

behavior such as yours generally gets a man kicked down the nearest long

between humor and flippancy, and that you're not one-half so clever as
you think you are.

You come in here with your off-topic, sniggering, dirty-little-boy
attempts at humor, forge documents, pretend to be multiple people, and
generally act like someone who shows up at a "Star Trek" convention to
ask William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy to read your K/S fanfic. Your
emotional age is clearly somewhere around 12, and you have a high
opinion of your own intelligence that is largely unjustified.

No wonder you still live in your parents' basement. Every time you try
to interact with live people, you get beaten up, and you can't figure
out why.

And it also appears that you're incurable.

I don't wish to be critical or anything old chap, but you could have
saved yourself a lot of trouble by just not talking to him in the first
place.

The whole sodomy concept would be so utterly out of context to the
literature of the period that it really does not to deserve to be
dignified with a response.

Just my opinion.

You come in here with your off-topic, sniggering, dirty-little-boy
attempts at humor, forge documents, pretend to be multiple people, and
generally act like someone who shows up at a "Star Trek" convention to
ask William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy to read your K/S fanfic. Your
emotional age is clearly somewhere around 12, and you have a high
opinion of your own intelligence that is largely unjustified.
No wonder you still live in your parents' basement. Every time you try
to interact with live people, you get beaten up, and you can't figure
out why.
And it also appears that you're incurable.

I know, I know.... But he introduced it slowly, building up his
phantasy, piece by piece, in order to counter my arguments, and I grew
up in an age when it was an accepted dramatic convention that hysterics
need to be slapped, and that they will then recover themselves as a
matter of course; I've never quite escaped the influence of that
particular myth.

And his faux-Malory, though spoilt by ridiculous notions of grammar,
inappropriateness in the century to which he attributes it, and, as you
say, the matter itself, /does/ display a surprising sensitivity to prose
style. Many who know 15th-century English flawlessly would nevertheless
fail to get the rhythms and general P.O.V. as right as he does.

But, as I say, he's clearly incurable.

Sir Dynadan is known as a jokester, though the only joke that is recorded is
the following joke told to the High Prince, as a jest because the High
"It would appear you are a cousin to the wolves, not eating fish but instead
eating only flesh."
First, what does this joke even mean? Everybody laughed at it. Second, he
told this same joke twice in a single week to the same man. Would this joke
be funny twice?
Unlikely the laughter was in amusement, rather social politeness of a podgy
person (Dynandan was podgy) serving Galahalt fish knowing full well he hated
that stuff.

The real laughter was when Dynandan started cross dressing.
