Racer, I salute the ex-Sir Waspbane, with many waves of my plumed hat.
I congratulate this slayer of hymenoptera, for his most manly feats. How resplendent, in this era of micro-men to know that one hero yet remains among homo sapiens, this once great species of ours.
Indeed, he instills in me some hope that we may yet return to our former greatness. A clear glass mug and cardboard and cadaver of a slain wasp must be inscribed upon his family insignia-- in remembrance of this remarkable afternoon. If only his example could be trumpeted through the hills and vales, to inspire the young champions among us! Then, we shall regain that glory, yet.
Sigh.
Did I tell you about the brave encounters of my own SigO with a terrible buzzing mosquito, through a night in Florence, in a hotel without any screens? It was attacking me in a most violent manner, when he came to my assistance. However, that's a story for another day.
