Mea Culpa

Marquess of Queensberry whose rules govern blog etiquette

Have you ever felt like the skunk at a garden party? Me neither.  But GSL has been known to put a hostess on edge from time to time. My dear dear friend, the 'Queen B' aka Chicago's most charming hostess, can always sense when I'm about to get a little naughty and let my hair down but sometimes my timing isn't as Cartier Tank Watch perfect as you might suspect so she occasionally shoots me an arched eyebrow plea for clemency with a subtext of: "Oh no,... not yet...wait til I clear my good China..."

Here is the Marquess of Queensberry in the flesh. He doesn't look pleased does he?
real name is John Douglas and he's the one who brought down Oscar Wilde due to
his anger over Wilde's relationship with his son

Apparently GSL ran afoul of Queensberry rules at his most fav blog and has been shown the door! I have assembled a crack defense team and will mount an appeal and don't bet against me either.
My infraction??? Well GSL rather callously brought in a little seasonal bonhomie into a post of sober reflection.  The post's subject:

What was I thinking getting all in a giggle in a post about this killjoy?!?!

I guess I'd better fess up and tell you the awful thing I said and it was a momentary lapse of judgement I deeply regret even though the blog's theme is "humorous or witty conversation".  My memory is rather foggy but in getting a little carried away in the yuletide spirit of the moment I rather incomprehensibly mentioned I'd like a "Christmas smooch under the mistletoe" with our long adored hostess. How could I say such a thing?!?! We all make mistakes and I'll do what I can to make amends. After all, I don't want one of these in my stocking:

Loretta Lynn's father used to procure these for Santa's misbegotten.

Whatever you do please don't breathe a word to this lady.

If she knew that boy she's holding grew up to be such a
scoundrel it would break her heart.

Wish me luck on getting back in my adored hostess's good graces and put in a good word if you can.

Of course Greyfriers Bobby is still here! He's not going anywhere until Bebe safely returns home  from abroad.
