The Change a Letter, Spark a Conversation Game

[CrysaniaMajere]

I don't have a back problem, does this mean I should start worrying that this could be an offence to his majesty and I might risk being haltered ? I wouldn't like that! A bow doesn't sound too bad now...

[raisindot]

Well, if anyone shows up in a halter at my fete I'm sure that the paparazzi will be alerted immediately.

[CrysaniaMajere]

be careful, with them on the hunt you'll be trailed and caught wherever you go, whatever you do..

[raisindot]

True, that's one detail I hadn't thought about.

[CrysaniaMajere]

unless of course you use real soldier-tactics, like Maximilien de hénin-Liétard, who I just found out was an important one in 16th century Netherlands

[raisindot]

He was the general who use to lead his troops into battle dancing and wearing a skimpy one-piece uniform, right, thus lending his name to a new form of fashion known as the leotard, right?

[CrysaniaMajere]

Not exactly but I imagine if you dress like that a paparazzo would jump on you like a leopard on an easy prey, not much of a disguise that seems

[raisindot]

I wouldn't wear one if it were a condition for parole.

[CrysaniaMajere]

Not even with a pearl necklace? Ok ok, I guess not..

[raisindot]

That's one leap I'd prefer not to consider.

[Who's Wee Dug]

With a loud peal the bell fell silent.

[raisindot]

...As the mortician fastened a carnation to his lapel?

[CrysaniaMajere]

I don't know how to label that since I've no idea what that means (peal, carnation, lapel??)

[raisindot]

If you're wondering what these words mean, I'm able to help you there--a peal is kind of like a 'round' of something, such as laughter; a carnation is a flower with very intricate petals; a lapel is the top 'folded-back' area of a man's suit coat that usually has a place where a flower can be fastened.

A peal is more commonly referred to as ringing of church bells or the sound of bells ringing.
