The Story of the Knights of the Round Dining Table Part 1

Category: Ramblings | Posted: Mon Feb 12, 2024 7:46 pm

Once upon a time not very long ago in a kingdom not very far away a group of friends had gathered at King Crab's home, the Castle Costalot.

They were Sir Eatalot, Sir Laughalot, Sir Fartalot, Lady Drinkalot of Tea, Lady Tellalot of Jokes, and Lady Askalot of Questions. Together they were known through the lands as the Knights of the Round Dining Table.

The Ladies didn't mind being called Knights because they could wield a blade as well as any man. Pruning knife blades, shovel blades, chain saw blades, and more. Woe to the weed that dared get too close!

The Knights travelled far and wide with their trusty steeds Parkinglot and Shakealot. They often went to look at towers. If they weren't on the ground looking up at towers they were in a tower looking at other towers in the distance. You wouldn't believe all the different towers one can find if one starts to look in earnest!

They also looked for plants. Rare ones, edible ones, weird ones, wild ones, shrub and tree ones, and seed. Their quests for plants were often hazardous as one has to be in the right place at the right time or the opportunity is gone. That happened a lot, but they were mostly successful and their homes bore withness to the fact.

But their absolute favourite thing to do was look for places to eat, preferably places with round tables. Success was guaranteed if the place they wanted to eat at had round tables, a tower, and a garden. It didn't really hurt if the food was tasty either.

Sir Eatalot would choose quickly and attack the food so hard you'd think he hadn't eaten in a month. Sir Laugalot would take his time pondering the menu, and often conferring with Lady Drinkalot of Tea since they had much the same taste in food. The rest would often decide to order different dishes and share between them so they could enjoy a diverse meal in one meal so to speak.

The Knights usually spent a long time at the table, eating, talking, laughing, and of course drinking. Sir Fartalot had to leave the table several times during a meal for obvious reasons. The name was earned, not given. Sir Eatalot would hardly be able to move at the end of the meal. Lady Drinkalot of Tea always enjoyed a good cuppa after a hearty meal. Sir Laughalot and Lady Askalot of Questions usually joined her. Lady Tellalot of Jokes often used this time to share a few funny stories since the other five could barely speak anyway.

So now you are introduced to the Knights of the round Dining table. I shan't go into details at this time, but stories about their adventures will follow later.
