Happy Second Rezzday, Clockwinder

[Ceejay Writer]

Wherein Let It Be Known....

Today, May 21, is the Clockwinder's second rezzday.

Today, May 21, the Clockwinder does not seem to be at hand.

Today, May 21, we could fill this discussion with poetry, unsolvable math riddles, gnome fashion advice, and lists of dairy farms with poor security.

Later, Not-May 21, he will find this Discussion and deport me to a High Security Zyngo Parlor for life.

I'm willing to risk it. Are you? Let the games begin.

Well, in that case, maybe I should buy him this to stand outside his office door in the new City Hall. (Be sure to view all pictures, not just the one on the main page.) Only problem is, it doesn't dispense milk, and while the product it parodies certainly qualifies as late Victorian, the styling on this particular object isn't exactly steampunk. But grungy...oh yes, it's definitely grungy enough for Babbage.... *smirk*

[Doctor Obolensky]

In honor of Mister Tenk's rezday, I give you a tenner. Or maybe it's a tenker.

[Edward Pearse, Duke of Argylle]

Definitely need to see those around New Babbage!

Mayorial slush fund.

[Katherine Montpark]

Th' mayor fell down on his knees
and moaning, he said with a wheeze;
"My milk has gone wrong,
I left it too long!
For now it has turned into cheese."

[Genie]

Brilliant!

[Ceejay Writer]

Awesome offerings so far, gang! *spends the tenker on fripperies*

[Genie]

Mr. Tenk, we love you so,
And on this day of days,
We really, truly wish you would
Just give yourself a raise.

Take the 0 Lindens for your time,
And the Lindens urchins filch,
Multiply it all by nine,
And you're still earning ZILCH!

[Elilka Sieyes]

For those tiresome state occasions...



...the Milk Bottle Topper ;)

[Tinus Koskinen]

Now this is a practical gift for our fine Mayor...Cheers for Mr. Tenk, perhaps we will find him "resting" near a hearth tonight.

Something I drew on the cover of my notebook a few weeks ago...didn't get to finish it, but here it is, anyway :D

You're all so talented! Milktopper hats, poetry, artwork! Keep it coming! I'll toss this in for the moment, and I hope for some poetic inspiration before day's end, too.

"Clocks" Not by Coldplay, but my favored version by Twelve Girls Band.

[Katherine Montpark]

Ooo, I like that! I'm usually wary o' remakes, but this is one that I wholeheartedly approve. Now I need t'see if I can find more o' their music.

((Although this particular song reminds me of my old apartment neighbor, who would play the Coldplay version no less than three times every day, almost always exactly at 6:00pm.))
