Appurtenances and Impertinences

I often find it very pleasant to experience a sense of belonging.  Such pleasantness is frequently a cause for celebration.  Anything appertaining to Adelaide should always be pleasant, although, as with anywhere, there are many occasions of impertinence to endure in this vicinity.

Impertinence is usually a sign of...

...ignorance or insecurity.  Whether it is expressed as the unnecessarily loud exhaust of a motor-bicycle or any other form of transportation, the unsuppressed squeal of an inadequately restrained little girl, the exasperatingly aggressive antics of a naughty little boy, or the objectionably intrusive barking of a distressed and distressing little dog, impertinence has no appurtenance in an enlightened society.  What are your views on this matter, dear reader?

Excessively noisy transportation, children and pets are usually the responsibility of a little-brained, irresponsible personage.  But what is to be done?  Irresponsible, selfish persons are unlikely ever to behave in a consistently enlightened way.  It is a matter of character, and it is very difficult to change a person's character in a humane way.

My loyalty and responsibility is to the cause of the 21st century Enlightenment as this is the most pertinent way to create world peace, neighbourhood peace and household peace.  I mainly express my loyalty through my celebrated and celebratory work as the chief executive officer of the International Training Centre for the Harmonious Interplay of Beauty, Understanding and Magnificence.  Where do you place your own loyalty, dear reader?  And how do you know if your behaviour is responsible and tolerable?

You may be aware that I have many loyal friends and colleagues, some of whom are also known to be royal.  They frequently express jubilation whilst in my presence, especially in the parlour.  Perhaps this is due to the quality of the sandwiches, cakes and tea I provide, as well as the courtesy and efficiency displayed by my well-trained servants.  What and where do you prefer to serve?

Do you write about good service?

Service is not a cause in itself.  It is an admirable effect, especially if it has some suitably enlightened effect on the behaviour of others.  Good service is an appurtenance and never an impertinence. It is therefore always subordinate to something greater than itself.

To celebrate my own loyal service, a democratically inclusive committee of my ethereal colleagues is currently co-ordinating the establishment of a Museum of Twaklinology here in Adelaide.  There has been some discussion on an appropriate name for the museum.  Your advice is sought, of course.


A few of the names proposed:

a) The National Museum of Twaklinology,

b) The Royal Museum of Twaklinology,

c) The International Scientific Museum of Twaklinological Enlightenment, 

d) The Truly United Nations Museum of Twaklinology, or 

e) The Non-Alien-Yet-Ethereally-Magnificent Museum of Twaklinism.

I have allocated a small room on the 724th floor of my observation tower for the museum although the contents will be provided through the generous donations of contributors such as yourself.  Do you have some funds or artifacts suitable as museum appurtenances?  Could you be of service as a curator?

My own main task at present is to continue conducting the auditions and interviews for my Adelaidean opera, although I am yet to interview a suitably competent conductor to serve as a loyal interpreter of my work.  You may be pleased to know that my composition is neither a space opera nor a soap opera, although any enlightened literary critic is likely to identify a few distinct aspects of both genres in parts of my blog-pamphlets.  Such a critic will also be able to make a clear distinction between Twaklinology and Scientology, and between a brilliant opera and an impertinence.

In the next few days, I am planning to orchestrate suitable methods of ethereal compensation appertaining to the appropriate orchestration of my opera.  It is why I have recently established an official youtube presence for auditioning purposes.  Perhaps you would like to assist me if you have already received some funding and training to do so.

If you are aware of your own loyalty, service and talents, I shall be most happy to endorse your appurtenance with regards to my opera should you be inclined to demonstrate your abilities without impertinence.  You will, of course, receive the highest level of Twaklinological training during the Adelaide rehearsals, either at your own financial expense or with the assistance of your own generous sponsors.
