Deep dives
Bean-Friendly Naval Epic
I recently watched the movie Master and Commander and noticed that it had several moments that were particularly beansy. Quotes like 'four top men let fly,' 'weatherly, stiff, and fast,' and 'douse that gun's priming' reminded me of Mike's provincial dad moments.
Indie Road Movie
Master and Commander would work well as the soundtrack for an indie road movie, with two characters driving a battered old Buick across Louisiana. The film could feature quirky scenes such as transporting a dinosaur costume and celebrating the opening of the Paul McGann Suite in the Sean Bean Lounge.
Breakers of Antiques
I sympathize with your stories of accidentally breaking valuable items. I once broke an entire wall of antique plates while attempting to reposition them on the wall. The sound of exponential smashing plates made for an unforgettable experience.
Sean Bean Lounge Cake Sale
I thoroughly enjoyed reading about the Great Monuments of the World Cake Sale held at the Sean Bean Lounge. The various creative cakes and mishaps surrounding them created a delightful atmosphere.
Hazel of Bremen throws lukewarm caution to the wind and has the beans discuss FIRE! Some sage words on friendship (and eyebrow) management are included and it will come as no surprise that Henry’s employment history is once more in the mix.
