Lord of the Dance?
The All Barak Channel (ABC) today announced the “celebrities” that will take part in the ninth season of Dancing With the Stars . The name that immediately caught my attention and had me thinking that they were bringing in a ringer was that of former Senate Majority Leader Tom Delay.
I mean really, think about it, if he can dance around the ballroom floor like he could around any political issue then the other contestants don’t stand a chance. Although, I think if Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell can land a nice right hook to Delay’s jaw then that might level the playing field.
The Mandarin, whose real name is 吏恆, joined the order in 1309, and introduced the Gormogons into England during the 18th Century.
The Mandarin enjoys spending time with his pet manticore, Βάρἰκος, or Barry (who can be found in the Bestiary). When not in the Castle…well, frankly, nobody is quite sure where he goes.
The Mandarin popularized the fine art of “gut booting,” by which he delivers a powerful kick to the stomach of anyone that annoys him. Although nearly universal today, the act of gut booting or threatening someone or something with a gut boot is solely due to him.
