Anonymous asked: Sheep are evil and deeply stupid. And I say this as a country girl who use to get them ready for the fair. Goats are worse, but sheep are highly susceptible to demonic possession. You're clearly a wise and sensible man to avoid the ungulates.
Thank you.
I’m certainly glad that someone else understands.
Anonymous asked: I've heard that you're a vegetarian. Do you have those embarrassing urges to eat meat, too? I get them about once in a year.
Rarely, I will.
Then I’ll remember the benefits of not eating meat, then refuse to.
youwillanswertodiyeer asked: That would be wonderful! Unfortunatly I've promised Carolyn that I'll stop, but I still get to be friends with Arthur :D How are you anyway Herc? Can I just say that you have a fabulous voice!
Arthur likes everyone, so it’s quite up to you to keep being friends with him. Arthur is who he is.
I’m doing well, Thanks. I’ve got a flight with Cal Air in a few hours, so I won’t be able to message back for awhile today.
Thank you.
youwillanswertodiyeer asked: Hi Herc. So here's the thing. Me and Arthur had a plan to fly a Polar Bear to my house to put it in a blue room to see if it turned blue. Douglas and Martin said no. So THEN we had a plan to fly to the North Pole with a BIG blue tent and lure a Polar Bear into that... but they still said no. So Douglas said to ask you. Pleeeeeeeease Herc? We really want to see if it works! We've put loads of work into this plan! And really who doesn't want a blue Polar Bear?
I think there are a few more flaws in your plan. What role would I have in this scheme? Not many people would be able to see this blue polar bear, would they? The best we could do is take a photo of the bear, but the bear would be too vibrant of a blue.
I think it would be somewhat like this, or maybe a bit less noticeable than that.
skeletree asked: How are your dates with Carolyn going? I think you two are a splendid match.
Our dates are going well. We don’t often get the chance to have them, with her being busy with MJN and I with Caledonian Air, but they are lovely when they happen, even if she still refuses to see an opera with me. I do find her stubbornness charming, however. And Thank you.
Anonymous asked: What's your favorite opera?
My first opera was La Boheme, so I will always be fond of that one, but I’m really keen on Castor et Pollux and Carmen as well.
Anonymous asked: sexy Herc, ever thought of looking for a 5th mrs Shipwright ? By the way your accent sounds delicious...
I have thought of it, yes. Though I haven’t thought of it too seriously. Getting married and divorcing four times has been overwhelming.
Thank you for the compliment.
Anonymous asked: Why are you afraid of sheep?
Their long faces and eyes are frightening. And their bleating sounds accusing.
ask-douglas-richardson asked: Herc? Do you mean to tell me that you're afraid of sheep? Why, this is the best news I've had /all week/.
Why, Douglas, for someone who’s as witty as you are, your reaction seems to be similar to everyone else’s.
Anonymous asked: Like Opera? All that is, is a bunch of people screaming in another language. Don't know how you could like it...
Opera is wonderful, thank you very much.
My took my brothers, sister and I to a few operas when we were younger, and I grew very fond of them.
