Mel Interviews M.E.L.
Using Mass Electron Lithobirburpimeter technology (pronounced litho - beer - burp - imeter), or M.E.L. technology, I have asked the most noble and esteemed Lord Mario Ermes Lucii (M.E.L.) a few questions about his method of divining the with the twenty two Tarocchi allegories. Join us in a direct link to 1499 with Mel, and M.E.L. via M.E.L..
Mel: Good Afternoon most honorable Sir. How are things in 1499?
M.E.L.: Tragedy has struck here I'm afraid to report my good man. One of my business rivals in Florence has met with the most unfortunate and bizarre demise involving horses and a slab of cheese.
Mel: Oh Dear. I'm very sorry to hear that.
M.E.L.: Yes, it's most tragic.
Mel: Lord Lucii. Could you share with us here in the 21st Century how you devised your methods for divination with the Tarocchi cards?
M.E.L.: This fine method was actually devised by my fifth daughter, Valentina, heaven's greatest gift to the world since our Lord and Savior, an angel, and my dearest treasure. She finds the greatest amusement in divining for us all. Bishop Beccafumi, demanded I beat my Valentina for doing the divination. But I could never beat my darling girls, especially my sweet angel, Valentina. My sons of course I beat thoroughly!
Mel: Sir, have you found your daughter's reading to be accurate?
M.E.L.: Yes, she is perfectly accurate. Taking into account the interferences of Moon phases, the movements of Mars & Saturn, and of course the expected interferences of sylphs, elves, fairies, and mischievous devils!
Mel: Lord Lucci. Are you a regular player of the game of Tarocchi?
M.E.L.: Oh Yes... yes. I play every Thursday evening, with my wife, my oldest son and his fiance, Lord Capponi and his wife, Lord Alberti and his companion, Venetia, and Lord Gherardi, who cheats outrageously!
Mel: He cheats?
M.E.L.: Yes! I wonder if his horses like cheese?
Mel: What?
M.E.L.: Never mind.
Mel: Well sir, I'm afraid the satellites that enable as to communicate across time are about to move out of position, ending our transmission.
M.E.L.: I see. Always so brief, no? Could I make a request my friend?
Mel: Certainly your Lordship.
M.E.L.: The next time these planets of yours are in the auspicious houses to work this magic, please do send me some more of those 'moving images', I believe you called them 'video clips'.
Mel: Of course, sir. The same as usual?
M.E.L.: Yes.. yes! The Lady Gaga!!
Mel: Certainly sir.
M.E.L.: Excellent. Thank you kindly.
Mel: It was nice speaking with you again Lord Lucci.
M.E.L.: Yes. Hope to speak to you again soon. Farewell.
End of transmission.
