Petition to bring back Major Mitchell

[brainbomb]

This thread is to unban Major Mitchell and bring him back, unfrozen cryogenically. The duck bills must be recognized.

[Jamiet99uk]

When did he get banned?

[MajorMitchell]

I had the most glorious night of scallywaggery with my Dashing Ducati Supersport motorcycle night, got home at dawn Sunday & woke up* plenty of citizens of Paradise Lost Cove so they won't be latte for Church

*easily done, my Dashing Ducati Supersport of ridden in 2nd gear of 6 gears with plenty of rpm ~6,000 rpm emits a uniquely Ducati sonic symphony.

Fledglings should suck a thumb or other digit & Whipper-snappers should scratch themselves & emit flatulence & both groups should heed the sage advice from the tattered, battered, battle scarred and weary Veterans amongst them.

Now we do not use the word banned to describe my absences from Webdiplomacy.
My hectic, manic life means I occasionally am asked by the Almighty Mods to go on a Sabbatical from playing games of Diplomacy for not getting orders lodged a few times.

To avoid confusing the Barely Literate it must be made clear that I am most reticent & reluctant to "form a new Band" and go on global tours performing in stadiums to tens of thousands of crazed, screaming fans & being subjected to barrages of lingerie hurled at me.

The life I led in the 1960s and 1970s is the past & my motto is "En Avante" which in English is "Go Forward".
I am now a mature aged actor not the young Rock Star Drugs & Sex Beast.of the past.
Ironically in my adventures last night I did visit a few nightclubs and did do some singing along with some classic songs, I recall Whitney Houston's song "need somebody to love me & a few other love songs.
My voice is damaged, lungs are damaged by smoking and although I can still "turn it on" I cannot sustain it, start coughing up phlegm etc.
Yet the stage craft, the "tricks of the vocalist" are still good so I can still hit most higher octave notes.

The FUN in it for me is anonymity, the young whipper-snappers do not know who I was.
It's a wonderful game, being ignored because I am.old now by young women whose grandmothers in the 1960s would have torn my clothes from.me as souvenirs etc etc etc.

When I was a fledgling in a Church Chior & sang the Descant parts (high octave stuff) in Psalm 21 the congregations would weep and feel as an angel was singing to them.

Last night in a nightclub I got lost in the music and singing with Whitney Houston's song and then Bitch by the Rolling Stones a little later a group of quite attractive young women near me whom I had forgot were close because I was lost in the music & song... must have become curious about me & were speculating as to who I might be.
After Bitch ended the next song was not one I love so I was bored and gazed around & saw the young women looking at me with interest
One asked me "Who are you?" (She was rather beautiful & I was tempted to seduce the naive young woman*)

"Always stay Serene in the Eye of the Storm" was my first thought.
Second thought was "Improvise an Escape"

Here's improvised acting in a crisis... to the gorgeous young lass displaying a considerable amount of cleavage, I spoke (paraphrasing)

"I have tried to make our marriage a happy one, given you jewellery and my love, when you proposed matrimony to me I did warn you the difference in our ages might cause you to regret your infatuation, but you wanted marriage, now I will go home to our seven children and ask you to consider them and our future, and stop flirting with young men, it makes you look foolish in my opinion!"

And walked away quickly.

* don't think I cannot seduce young women, it's not easy because of the 50+ year age difference, yet it is a Dark Art and great exercise in strategy & tactics.

The strategy used by Hannibal at Cannae is a cracker with 18yo.to 22 you young ladies.
It's a "have a weaker centre & put your best forces on both flanks" strategy.

Now I will not divulge how to implement this strategy, the tactics involved in an open Forum with More Decorum.

I have made it to the Red Carpet T as an actor in a lead role in a short film.
Cast as the Cult Leader in the short film How to Summon a Demon

Got sick after night film shoots in October at Cleland Park near Waite Institute, cast in support role as the Golden Teacher, a Gandalf like character, in short film titled You are the Universe

Applied for a $3,700 grant from Adelaide Fringe Festival organisation, to do a comedy show with intellectually & physically disabled comedian Kym Mackenzie
I had to be producer, director, Kym Mackenzie asked me at short notice, I did a bit of work, Kym Mackenzie has a comedy show in November Feast Festival, I have film work, we decided to cancel our show in 2025 Adelaide Fringe Festival, fmdo.it in 2026?
So I had the task of sending an email to Fringe Festival organisation to withdraw our grant application.
They approved a $Aus 2,000 grant which I declined~ hilarious, very few grants are declined.
I explained in.my email our decision to cancel our comedy show I. 2p25 Fringe Festival, perhaps do it in 2026 with more preparation etc
The reply from Fringe Festival organisation indicated that if we apply next year, our grant will be given.

Kym Mackenzie represents in December, I get old age pension next May, we're going to work together from January to May next year, go to Melbourne for Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

We're going to minimise other stuff in January

I fully support the campaign to bring back the good Major. Let's ban him and make it happen!

[brainbomb]

We should also unban her imperiousness indoors eating cake

[MajorMitchell]

May I thank the kind members of our Webdiplomacy community for their support and encouragement.
Perhaps rash of them, yet much appreciated.
The Almighty Mods do not Ban me, they are most civilised and tolerant.

Because of my hectic life as an actor, comedian, consultant and scallywag I have an unfortunate tendency to not put in my orders in games.

The Diplomatic & Sage Almighty Mods politely suggest I take a little Sabbatical. Ho and translate a few thousand words written by Plutarch and the Service Manual for a specific Artillery Gun into Finnish and Latvian.

Her Serene Imperiousness Indoors lolling about laden with Jewellery eating cakes has, alas become Immortal and rules in Celestial Palace, undoubtedly giving her advice constantly to the Apostles and Archangels

Nature abhors a vacuum.

Miss Zoey Medici, a lady actor ~30yrs of age, with fine feet, well formed ankles and legs, stands a good height, has excellent teeth, sturdy yet elegant torso, chest, shoulders and neck.
Adorable eyes with no need to use Blinkers when racing.
Fine looking head, delicato features & excellent ears, both of them correctly fitted to her head in suitable places.

A well bred lady with chestnut hair, audacious and not a weakling when I have to crack my whip or use a dose of spurs, takes to both & clears all manner of hurdles with pleasure and without missing a stride.

With her Medici pedigree, Zoey is a superb Financier and Poisoner, talented & ruthless Spy master, loves Art, Literate and Jewellery.

Alas young Zoey is woeful with Explosives and Firearms albeit competent with daggers and similar sharp, pointy short weapons.

But give her an adorable WW1 British Army Bayonet with a fifteen inch steel blade razor sharp fixed to a trusty Lee Enfield. 303 rifle & she is quite hopeless at Stcking the Bayonet in an uncooperative Pig as it scampers about squealing.

I suspect Zoey's family want a dash of my Noble Celtic Blood to add much needed Celtic Potency to their Italian bloodlines.
The Vatican and Church of England are being most churlish and unhelpful, opposing our intended marriage & both are threatening excommunication.

I blame Camilla for our problems with the Church of England.
She has never forgiven me for nearly shooting her at Balmoral, if that damnable horse she was mounted upon hadn't shied at the critical moment, well, history would be different.
Then the lads in the family fled for cover and Andrew stiffed me on my payment, ran away to stay with Jeffrey Epstein.

On another balmy night I might tell the fledglings and whipper-snappers about my Uncle Horace who fought Courageously & Stupidly in the Great War was lost at the Somme, lost at Passchendale and lost at Verdun.

One lesson of his exploits on the Western Front in the Great War is:

If you purchase a Shiny Brass Compass for two shillings in Shaghai in 1907, don't expect it to be accurate with regard to directions, such as East, North, South or West in France during The Great War.

Plus a briefing about a second lady actor about 30, cantering about, keen yet not quite ready to race in barrier trials.

Film shoot, a pantomime play at the Lutheran Village at Glynde near Marden Shopping centre in Adelaide
No acting in the play for me or Zoey.
We're volunteer production assistants.

It's ~2.20am my local time now, have to be there at 11.30am
Au revoir mes amis et en avante, dusty daffy Old MM
