Most enlightened one, I should have asked your lordly opinion before voicing an opinion/s but I'm not as humble as you demand, although a mere peasant from the edge of your illustrious world. As Confucius, you should know that the Chinese wrote on maps delineating the known word and its unknown boundaries, assigning to the latter to a nebulous uncertainty with the inscription "Here be dragons".
Yes, Good Celery is nice and crunchy but you, Confucius, belong to the plant family which is called "Deadly Nightshade" so you're probably an eggplant, although I prefer the more melodioud word "aubergine". It's purple and shiny, and has to be salted before cooking to extract some of its toxins. Btw, I'm sure you know that celery juice is very effective for detoxing, Oh Wise One.
There's a hard frost here this evening, Your Munificence and Magnificence, so I crave pardon for my brief absence while I go out to my garden to leave food - suet balls, no offence intended as that's what they are - to feed the birds. If you deign to consider my presence on this site again I'll be honoured beyond measure, prostrating myself before your digital gems, O Light of the Orient. As Hoo Shake Dungyspere once asked "Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer's Day?".
