"Don't dress or coif onself
too much like a turkey
amidst millions
of starving French peasants,
as one might just
get treated like one."
This is the origin of the phrase "fashion victim."
Abusing Nietzsche, they descend in their Joe Brainard pyjamas...

I'd love to see an extended list of belated advice for Marie Antoinette. One thing I'd tell her: When plastering the walls with jewels, substitute cut glass for diamonds. You'll get tons of sparkle as you help to ease the deterioration of the financial situation in France.
Hehe.
Me likee.
I will try to work something up.
Actually, the whole French Revolution is rife with (gruesome) comedy.
The subtitle of the French Revolution was, I believe, Bipolar People Gone Wild (Unrated Edition).

I'm flabbergasted that you wrote "Magister Ludi," as that Hesse novel arrived just today and is sitting on my desk. Striking evidence that we *should* do that reality series you envisioned, proving that we were separated at birth.
Utterly flabbergasting!
I suppose we "visit" one another more than we suspect.
I'm glad you're out there, on that bandwidth of ether.
