Madness...madness!


Oooh dear, it appears I may have stumbled (hic), into the secret location of the Barmy Officers initiation ceremony!


I swear, I swear I did not see the secret handshake--well not all of it, anyway (not sure if the dropping of the trousers while jumping with one leg on top of a whiskey barrel and shouting BWOC! BWOC! BWOC! and being pelted with elderberries is a part of the ritual or not). I promise not to tell, and I will most likely not remember anything of this tomorrow, as various members of this loosely formed (and quite loose--or is that tight--I can never get that straight) organization keep buying me these oddly greenish hued drinks!


Madness...madness, I say (hic)!
