Moving sale and art auction in SG warning

21-11-2003, 02:32
Greetings all, the centuries old, yet relatively new to the international scene, Grand Duchy of SGWarning has recently moved to Wysteria. To cover the costs of this move the Royal Family will be selling off some of their prized art collection at auction (Sadly the Van Gogh will not be offered due to Uncle Bertrand inexpertly stuffing it down the front of his pants while leaving the royal palace after sunday brunch. Uncle Bertrand and the rest of the Royal Family continue to struggle with the family's hereditary prediliction towards kleptomania) Included are a set of Royal China and Silverware, designed by M.C. Esher and therefore functionally useless, made to comemmorate the finding of No Fault in the class action paternity suit against Duke Leopold (sadly this collection is incomplete as several pieces have mysteriously disappeared over the years). States which claim that several of the items up for bidding are actually their property pilferred during recent visits by the Royal Family may get discounted terms.
