Be it known that a match has been consummated —that the infernal machine known as Triumph TR-6 #CF20228 (also known as “The Mermaid”) has now commenced gestation. The mating ritual occurred on Saturday, October 24th—with preparatory proceedings, consisting of the consumption of copious quantities of cheap ale—at two hours after meridian—a time which was determined to be most propitious through the augury of the High Priest of the Emails. The ceremony commenced with the obscure and mostly unintelligible Druidic benediction for mating which loosely translates to: “Aye then lassie, do ye come here often? Can I purchase ye a dram of mead?” The rite proceeded through the awkward, but effective, method of lifting the dismembered body shell and lowering it ceremoniously upon the naked frame. All participants, of course, being blindfolded in order to preserve modesty. The sacrament was performed by a stout-hearted band consisting of Lord Gordon of the Moores sided by scion Sean, Sir Curtis of the Kitts, and my humble self, Squire William of the Weed Patch. Arriving in time to assist with the tying down ritual was Sir Adrian of the Frys (shouldn’t that be chips?). The beast now lies peacefully in its lair slowly ingesting parts, time, and money; and gathering strength for the day that it shall burst forward from its fetid cocoon to conquer the Mountains of the Rocks and the Springs of Glenwood under the firm hand of my sturdy son, Squire David.
