I'm always a little suspicious of any club that would have me as a member. Like the Adult Club--when do you get invited to that? My parents were in it.

I anticipate it being something like Isaac Asimov's Union Club mysteries. That, or each of us curled up in a big chair with a glass of brandy and one volume of a dictionary.

reesetee commented on the word league of extrawordy gentlemen
Well, in that case, we'll need at least one crackling fireplace. You have to have a crackling fireplace when curled up in a big chair. It's the law.

seanahan commented on the word league of extrawordy gentlemen
In my brain, the crackling fireplace was there in my previous description.

You've got to watch out for the crackling fireplace - it spits out twinkly little embers that land in your slipper, leading to the dance of the singed ankle...

reesetee commented on the word league of extrawordy gentlemen
That's why I wear boots. But I wouldn't mind watching the Dance of the Singed Ankle. ;-)

We'd need a good air conditioning system, so we could have the crackling fire year around...or else locate in the Antarctic!

Boots with a smoking jacket? How gauche!
October 20, 2007

What!? Never heard of boot slippers?
