In the den of iniquity there are still monks...

I went to visit CyberD and Lil' Magnum this weekend at Casa de CyberD.

His butler answered the door, "Master Q, may I take your coat?".

"No, I am not wearing one", I replied as he touched me in a way that I felt was inappropriate.

He asked if I would like to see CyberD or if I would be needing to use the water closet. Still shocked from his previous actions, I told him that I would need to use the facilities. Little did I know that he would stand and watch me whilst I was partaking of the exquisite craftsmanship of CyberD Manor. When I was done, he washed my hands, nether region and neck, and then caressed my hands with lotion.

Finally I was allowed entrance to the main hall of CyberD's abode. CyberD was sitting in a large leather highback with a pipe in his left hand and the tape from his ticker tape machine in his right. Lil' Magnum was laying in the floor balancing his checkbook. CyberD offered me a monogrammed smoking jacket like the ones that he and magnum were wearing, I refused. I am not much of a smoker. I asked him why wasn't Mags watching some TV or something. Both he and Magnum burst into laughter as if I had just told the most amusing story ever. I was serious, Lil' Magnum is only 2 most 2 year olds play with toys and what not or watch TV. Once they recovered from hysteria, they offered me some breakfast. It was maybe the best eggs Benedict I ever eaten. After breakfast, Lord CyberD, as he asked to be referred to from this point on, put down Lil' magnum for his afternoon nap on a king size bed with mahogany headboard in possibly the most ornate bedroom I have ever seen for a child.

He is my heir Lord CyberD said as he noticed me looking around the room in awe. When CyberD's first born son was asleep he asked if I wanted to maybe play a game, chess, bridge, canasta, soggy biscuit..."What" I asked.

"Canasta?" he responded quizically.

"No, soggy biscuit."

"Oh that is a little game I learned in college" Lord CyberD enlightened me.

We can get my chef to make a batch of biscuits if you want.

"Sure" I said, not really knowing what I was getting myself into.

After the biscuits were cooked, the chef brought one to us on a plate that was made in the 1800's in England, a very rare specimen I was informed. I am not much of an antiquer so I can't help a whole lot with a description. The butler informed CyberD that he would like to participate, apparently he knew what this game was. I felt ignorant, even the butler knows. How did I not have any clue what this game was, I love games. I own a bunch of them. Well let me just say that this game is unlike any I have ever played, as was evident when Lord CyberD asked if I needed and aids.

"Aids for what?" I asked.

"The game, silly" he retorted as if to imply my stupidity.

"I guess not" I heard myself utter as the shock set in. At this point Lord CyberD and his butler were undoing their pants and positioning themselves over the plated biscuit.

I was at a complete loss, how to get out of this mess.

"There is no way I can play right now CyberD"

"Lord CyberD" he interrupted.

"Yeah, sorry Lord CyberD. I did that on my way here"

It came out before I could think about what I was thinking, I am not good on the fly, as was evident by my statement. "I understand, I do that on my way to the office every day" Lord CyberD remarked, apparently not thinking that I don't have a driver to carry me to the office like he does.

I came up with an excuse to get out of there, before any mental images could be burned in. CyberD said he was sad to see me go, but I am welcome back anytime. "Thanks" I yelled, as I ran to my car.
