peasants were rounded up like the usual suspects and given places to stand on the board constructed in a large field next to the volcano
but this turn of events was banal so the king ordered his coders to create a game of solitaire to be played on the computer and when cards were removed from the playing surface a peasant would be tossed without remorse into the dormant volcano where they would climb out and dust themselves off crying about the banality of the whole affair
and the king's wife was not amused

@rookie54 saidEvery year the women folk would drive up the volcano's side on massive 1000cc touring motorbikes and drive around the rim of the crater without using stabilizer wheels and many would fall into the crater and die but the menfolk never intervened because they were enlightened and entranced by the women's independent streaks.

@the-gravedigger saidIt turned out that they were upset by the king's punctuation so he enacted a Decree which said that whatever punctuation people in the UK under the age of 30 use, it's ok.

@the-gravedigger saidWith Lady Kewpie busy trying to reunite her infinitives, the King set about creating hundreds of new verbs from nouns in order to impact his popularity .
