There was lots of twittering around the house after Drayton Parslow and Stacey Bushey stuck up a letter "To all Beaker Folk" on the notice board, inviting them to take part in a secret ballot on the proposition that "Eileen is a rubbish Archdruid and should step down before she does any more damage". Obviously, I knew some challenge was coming to my authority. After all, on average it does every week or so.
The bad news for these two concerned Beaker Folk diligent colleagues devout idiots traitors was that they chose to hold the vote in the Room of Viewing, out the other side of the courtyard. All right they were a little limited in their choice of location - since the doily shed and Moot House have both been burnt down while the Chapel was swallowed by a black hole - but nobody could get across to vote because the courtyard was so incredibly icy. Who would have believed I could have forgotten to order in any rock salt when the winter was coming? And the good news is that Young Keith was still over there, watching a special 6-hour clips edition of Stephen Baldwin being embarrassing on Celebrity Big Brother. So Keith just stuffed 50 "No" votes in the box and I am pleased to say I am as firmly in control of the Big Sister House as ever. Although I know who the two next evictions may be.
Wow! You must have some brave but misguided Beaker Folk, prepared to stage a Coup against the Dictatorial rule of the Archdruid.
ReplyDeleteGiven that Autocratic rule is your style, and misbegotten idealism is theirs, it was obviously, no contest!
We all know that Dictators win in this world, for a while, but they always come to a sticky end. Ask Sadam Hussain, Idi Amin, Pope Benedict.
Long live Archdruid Eileen :-)
