    You do know, don't you, that our Lady Joan Mastodon referred to "windymills" when she wanted to tease Don Quixote, who in his second life had joined her fellowship:

  2. And our Lady Joan Mastodon said to her knights, Do not fight the windymills like our fellow knight Don Quixote used to do, fight the Scrapers and the Great Algo instead. We will prevail, but only if we work with the windymills, not against them. Windymills are for generating electricity, not for acting out our fantasies.

    You've learned your lesson, Donny, haven't you, she said, smiling kindly toward Sir Alonso across the table. Since he had joined our Lady Joan's fellowship, Donny had become a good slayer of scrapers and a fine planter of hashtags.

  4. Our Lady Joan Mastodon had invited us into the Great Hall for her #NoScrapers feast. It was a merry event. Our Lady had perhaps enjoyed her special No Scrapers Brew a little more than usual.

    Roamer, she shouted across the table, your #Goethe toots are so very boring. Who reads #WilhelmMeister? And the #ThomasCarlyle translation is awful. Have you nothing better to toot?

    The knights responded with a great deal of laughter and comradely banter. It was mostly cheerful, though Sir Reginald's grin was a little too rigid to be counted as friendly.

    Naturally, her remark hurt me. My Lady Joan was wrong about Wilhelm Meister, and even more wrong about Carlyle.

    I let it pass. I made a motion of mock apology in her direction and ignored the other knights. Our Lady Joan was fallible like the rest of us. She had given us the Federated Fields, she slayed legions of scapers every day, with her in charge we would one day overcome the Great Algo. I loved her, Goethe or not.

    Our Lady Joan Mastodon spoke to her knights on matters of style.

    A truly gallant toot, she said to them, awaits continuation by other toots. It does so just as the clause that ends in a semicolon invites completion by another clause: without dictating terms. Each of the clauses is free, their association is voluntary and unforced. There is no ruler in the sentence; the semicolon is a native federalist. Let each of your toots be the clause that ends in a semicolon. This is how we shall beat the Great Algo. In style.
