Silliness Needed: Ministry Title for Bookish Dreamer

pshrynk · 09-06-2008, 10:27 AM

Most of the ones I can come up with involve loungewear and lewdness, so I'm opening up the debate in the interest of keeping this a family forum, in line with Geoff's delusions about this place.

what ??? all this time, and dreamer still doesn't have a portfolio ??? quick, someone give that slacker something to do !!! let's see... maybe she could be the Ministry's Hostess with the Mostest. that should appeal to you, pshrynk, while still staying on the "family" side of the line (talk about delusions...).

I vote for "Minister of Art" (better sounding if it were in French though) since she is such an artsy avatar.

Minister of culture and the arts?

zelda_pinwheel · 09-06-2008, 10:56 AM

which, in french, would be Ministre de la Culture et de l'Art. (not actually that different, but hey, if you think it sounds better...

)

zelda_pinwheel · 09-06-2008, 10:57 AM

dreamer, i believe one of the responsibilities of that portfolio is organising movie night. do you feel up to that task ?

BookishDreamer · 09-06-2008, 07:05 PM

Culture and Art? I like!

Movie night? Oh yes! I can arrange for nice big room filled with comfortable chairs and sofas and a stocked snack bar (plenty of popcorn and chocolate, of course). And may I suggest "What a Way to Go" as our first presentation? Love the sound activated painting machines created by Paul Newman's character! Such an elegant combination of art and technology.

clearly dreamer is the woman for the job ! ministre de l'art et de la culture it is. i've never heard of that movie but the synopsis on imdb looks great, so you can save me a comfy chair for that screening.

Culture and Arts sounds good (and better than "Court Mannequin" or something like that, though there are some interesting historical references there).

What would editing gargoyles entail? Wouldn't they object?

Love that movie! I first saw it when I was waaaaay too young to understand it and then got a major thrill when I re-discovered it in college and got all the jokes!

jerryleejr · 09-07-2008, 11:24 AM

Minister of the culturally artistic it is

No lewdness I'm out...

I saw it for the first time just a couple of weeks ago. Laughed hysterically.

I agree. Not a mannequin, please. I detest trying on clothes.

Oh gargoyles are cute! Seriously, the craftsmanship required to sculpt those creatures from a block of stone is amazing. Stonemasonry is just fascinating. When I visited Salisbury Cathedral a few years ago, I stood and marveled at the statues, wondering if any of them had to be started from scratch as a result of a misjudged tap on a chisel.

I vote for the above, because I get to misplace my consonants and call her "Ministry o' fArt" all the time, while making little blowy-blubbery-squelchy noises with my lips.

Cheers,
