This year is going to be make or break for a lot of things.

My only hope is that my Royal Doulton (with the hand painted periwinkles) doesn't get damaged in the maelstrom of the imminent Apocalypse.

May New Year Bring Thee Peace And Plenty! Barns And Cellars Never Empty, Cazique! I wonder what is your New Year's resolution?

Survival, dear Baron. My resolution is survival.

As you know, my young prince possesses a fortune of gold bullion greater than our combined body weight. With the recent and spectacular surge in value, anything is possible. He dreams of slumming it in the ghettos of the wealthy- Dubai, Gstaad, that Swiss disco that just burned down.

Myself, I would choose a lower profile, and stick to countries that won’t imprison us for our proclivities. He recently came perilously close to this in his own land, when the coppers sniffed through his phone while he was being detained for smoking weed in public. He’s a reckless lad; this is the fifth time I’ve bailed him out for that particular indiscretion.

Of course, obstacle after obstacle has arisen in claiming possession of said inheritance, and it has now completely drained my finances. Taxes, storage fees, transportation fees, and fees for explaining the other fees have now consumed my finances entirely. In a coincidence so perfect it borders on poetry, this endeavor has required *exactly* what I had in life savings…

But he is a marvel. Though he towers over me and speaks in baritone, in the boudoir he offers total submission. He is obedient and obliging, and possesses remarkable talents. When we arrive at the… performance, I must beg him to keep still long enough for me to… find seating, lest the orchestra rush headlong into an untimely crescendo. And what a spectacular performance it is! Wow.

In all seriousness, Guttrunks, I have never even imagined a passion like this before. He is not only gorgeous, he is incredibly sweet and completely devoted. He does require very special handling, but it is a challenge I endeavor to master.

His life and past are genuinely tragic. The last time I visited him, his younger brother died at school the day of my arrival. Though he is a mama’s boy and his mother is supportive of both his lifestyle and our relationship, he later confessed that she had been viciously cruel, brutally beating him when he was younger. While he experienced some stability when his grandfather appeared in his late teens, his early life was marked by impoverishment, and by being different in a small town that is less collectivist than “high-surveillance communalist,” a place where one cannot escape one’s reputation.

He has never had a relationship, let alone one like ours. He doesn’t yet see it from my perspective- that I have invested so much in him that I am not walking away without a fight. He fears I might cut him loose at any moment. As a result, I spend much of my time carefully framing my words in ways that reassure him I am not going to abandon him.

He is a total outlier within his own culture, yet somehow untainted by ours. Remaining in his country is slowly killing him, and I intend to get him out one way or another. It is an awful, brutal place, defined by corruption, small minds, and mob rule. Simply traveling from point A to point B is physically grueling, as even the capital is barely half paved.

Our hotel featured a glass-bottom swimming pool on the eighth floor. It overlooked a dirty parking lot.

I left a reply to your last message, and a link in that to another.

As to the Royal Doulton- It has endured wars, empires, and poor taste. I trust your bone will survive the Apocalypse intact. Just avoid rough handling, excessive jostling, and sudden impact. After all, the bone has a reputation for being both delicate and surprisingly resilient when properly handled.

In case it's not yet apparent, I am of a completely self-absorbed nature.
Tell me of your resolutions, Baron! Yes, the coming year will put a lot of relief valves to the test. Tell me how the business proceeds. Worry not, once I am fabulously wealthy, I will not forget the friends I made along the way. There may yet be some angel investors who are interested in toilet paper cozies. As an aside, the toilet paper in Africa resembles the rough, brown, embossed material one finds for drying hands in a gas station bathroom. Dear Baron, the market in Africa may be ripe for luxury loo roll itself.

My New Years resolution is to try to find a homemade popper maker who can send me a sample of their creation. :-)

This year I’d like to punch a Nazi.

MrXindeed,
Dr. Wang would be delighted to assist in your New Year’s endeavor, as he eagerly seeks feedback on how his elixir measures against those procured from the various virtual apothecaries.

I think I’ll save my punch for someone who isn’t a plagiarizing 4Chan edgelord.

"being "controversial" is allowed :-) There is a long tradition of discussing the weird and the wonderful on this page. Anything felonious will get removed, but having a political opinion is fine, why not?"

Disappointment.

Cazique: My New Year's Resolution is to make good use of my Yuletide gift (the only one I might add) a set of loofahs in a very attractive gift box (which will be recycled as container for plastic spoons and sugar sachets. I am in the habit of picking these items up in certain well known "restaurants".) I did not get any socks this year, frankly I could do with some! Fortunately my darning skills are second to none, as long as I do not have "the shakes" which usually blight me before my morning libation to Dionysus. The conflict between the Dionysian and Apollonian is fundamental to understanding the human condition, this is according to Nietzsche, Sir. But I digress, is his Royal Highness interested in availing himself of the services of an archivist, tutor, gardener, cat feeder etc? If so, I will happily forward references from impeccable sources attesting to my honesty, hard working nature, cleanliness, and sobriety. I also offer companionship services with very reasonable rates, basically lodging and meals, and a small stipend for sundry items.
