This is too weird. After looking at today's date for my Conrad Black sentencing spoof, I checked my first blog in this series. All those references to the number 13. And today is the 13th. A coincidence, or stranger than fiction?
It's just this spooky.

It sounds scrumptili-icious (is that a real word?) ... but I would be afraid that His Lordship's delicate palate (and thereby His Lordship) would suffer an enormous culture shock going from such a lavish meal to prison fare over a short time.
It would be rather like a scuba diver going on a very deep dive and not taking the time to adequatley decompress while ascending to the surface. If not properly managed, such an ascent could well be fatal, which is not the intended result of his imprisonment.
Instead of a last meal of Pressed Duck #1,000,001 and Perrier Jouet, he should pre-condition his palate with a bucket of "Dirty Bird and a bottle of Chanel #5. Of course a "light" lunch or perhaps some "Egg Drop" soup or some kidney beans served with fish heads may also help toughen him up a bit to withstand the rigours of prison life.
Perhaps his initiation into the prison fraternity will help him realize that there are those less fortunate than him that deserve the help that a miniscule fraction of his ill gotten gains would have afforded them. It may give him a better appreciation of what most people live with, rather than the extravagent luxuries his highness surrounded himself with, at the expense of those less fortunte who trusted him with their hard earned savings.
I am not the skilled wordsmith as you either you or His Lordship however I hope I have adequately conveyed my thoughts. Feel free to edit as you see fit.
I remain yours faithfully,
A Brother Phi Kap
Well spoke, RonsBlog. I'm not so sure I'm deserving of being called a wordSmith - maybe a wordJones; anyway you're certainly no slouch and no editing is necessary.
I note your reference to elements from our own frat initiation. Actually in the mid 1990s the frat abolished the initiations and I felt free to post a detailed account of my experience on my fledgling web page. Then the initiations were brought back and I took the page down. Doesn't matter - I blabbed the Secret and now that makes me according to frat law:
"A perjurer and a traitor and unfit to be trusted in the transactions among honourable men."
