Coffin


Edward O'Keeffe

Recommended Posts

And I would like mine lined with red velvet and a big red velvet pillow *polishes her fangs and waits for unsuspecting sailors*

Oh Wait...wrong thread..... :o

Sorry no velvet unless you wish to pay a fine...

and I do have instructions for toe pinchers from Williamsburg, thanks to Mad Mary..

No Mission was just your "tone" for lack of a better word... just every time I post you make it SOUND as if I am quarreling... dissension, rancor, etc... I certainly did not use those terms... I just made a simple post based on what I have been reading as of the past year... because you jumped on questioning the use of a coffin in the first place when you didn't even know what was going on... simple fix..people at the pub simply need to stop assuming that others are implying the worst... when they aren't...

Pay a fine????? For velvet??? But no one would e'er know...

Oh yes they would... officials would check on everything... shrouds, coffins, etc... if you didn't follow the law, ye were fined...

I can only respond to what I see on the forum - this started with a post about death from bad food as I recall. I posted a bunch of quotes predicated on an idea that was called iffy. I can't resist that, now can I? :o I actually thought the more general question of coffins was interesting as I have a specific section in my notes on death as it relates to the ship's surgeon. (Plus the whole haunted house thing is always swimming in my head.) I think it's sort of fun to pull out those quotes and put an historic slant on the proceedings, but everyone should feel free to ignore them. They certainly aren't intended to irritate.

Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?"

John: "I don't know."

Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."

Great... now none of the sheep in Key West are safe. And the menfolk will have to be sleeping on their backs, eyes wide open...

And here I thought 4 days was a way too long.
