-Mark Twain


::the post is left unsigned as he walks away knowing at least a few people will leave up their own thoughts, some of which will be in direct conflict with the advice::

"Four things greater than all else are...women and horses, power and war...."

::grining, the Swords lady walks off, whistling::::::




These are my letters to the world,

Which never wrote to me...

Aren't women and horses the same..?

::Smirks, looking at the unsigned post. Thinking the person will be tracked down and eaten alive. Not only does the post lack sense of humor, the person doesn't even have the courage to sign the post. If he ever finds out who the person is, he'll go through any length to defend the honor of Noelle, and this person will recieve the defense full force... He hopes others
will come beating down on what's left of the person, when he's done::

People just expect to say jokes and have everyone be happy and "haha" about it, when people do get offended with such content as comparing a lady to a horse... Comparing my lady Noelle to a horse is something I won't take...

And I know this person didn't mean it in a good way... else he/she would easily be able to sign the post. Coward.

::He then writes::
To me, Noelle is a swan; graceful and beautiful. She can be seen in many places, but when she is seen, the atmosphere is serene, and peaceful. Many can picture a swan in the ponds of Heaven, and I feel Noelle makes any place she goes, Heaven. I'm very proud to be her husband, and I will personally see to it that her honor is defended.

I love you, my lady Noelle.

Truly,
Var Medici-Giovanni

::slaps up a note in response to the unsigned one::

Women are indeed like horses.

Creatures of grace, speed, and intelligence. Any who believes that horses are not one of nature's most beautiful, passionate, and useful creatures needs to think on it again.

There is as great an accomplishment in taming a wild horse as there is in winning the heart of a woman. Anyone who has seated themselves on a horse's back knows they make more headway becoming one with the creature than trying to conquer it. This is also true of women.

::Leaving Rhydin under cover of night, she stops at the ancient board, and tearfully gazes upon her dear husband's post, her trembling fingers trace his endearing words. A single tear slips down her cheek, as she writes her farewell to Var::


From the ends of the earth, I will cry onto thee...
I love you


::gathering her black shawl about her slender shoulders in a failed attempt of self comfort, she walks slowly down the cobblestone road leading out of Rhydin, with only the crescent moon for company and her thoughts....Of his soft breath in the night as they lay together, his touch gentle, warm...inviting. Sighing softly, her voice carries upon the gentle breeze "A week shall seem an eternity without you, my dear
husband."

::Writes::

Women are indeed like horses. Horses attract flies. So do women. Horses take weekly baths. So do women. A horse's teeth are yellow. So are women's. A horse is an animal. So are women. A horse is forced to give rides. ::Smirks:: .. so are women.

::the messenger boy reads the latest post ot him::

Who wrote it?

Doesn't say sir.

::a slight nod comes out of his mind as he can only think of a few that would actually do this.::

Take this down and post it up for me...

To whomever,

What kind of women are you hanging out with?

::ponders that one::

No wonder its unsigned....

::nods to himself, shuffling through the rest of the posts::

And you forgot about the Free Rides, Roland.. explains where he came from.. the person who wrote those words and such.

And he probably hasn't ever met a real woman.. or was taught that Horses are Women. That could explain a sexual preferance and some such. Go figure.

:::frowns easily recognizing the writing of the unsigned post as Collie had:::

Seems some people just can't break bad habits.

:::posts:::

Good luck ever finding a woman to spend your life with if you have that kind of ridiculous attitude.

:::Yes this too is a post::

I wouldn't even waste you ink on these bad mouthing people Collie. They are no more men then the youngest boy!

What do you have to say about this? I want to know because it just fits right into my post, just some more crap!! Someday this old cork board will fall down, and they will not replace it. Then where will you talk your *smack?* In the ring? NO! because you don't have what it takes. Say what you mean and mean what you say and leave the ones who don't care out of your sad, lame life because only the ones who are the same as you will post things
that you will want to hear. Ever notice the people who stay out of others lives post only what is needed......meaning their challenges...
