Ask Xenexian -- Edition the Third

[Ask Xenexian! 0]

A few days ago in the junior officers' quarters... *

"It's bagpipe music!"

 

"That's Klingon opera, I swear to gods!"

 

"Then it's Klingon bagpipes!"

 

"Who the hell plays Klingon opera on bagpipes?"

 

"Beats me, but... how about we ask that help column!"

 

"Yeah, great idea, Bill!"

 

Dear Xenexian,

 

Lately the people next door seem to be having loud parties at odd hours. They must be on late shifts, because just as my bunkmate and I are getting dressed in the morning, we'll hear noises from the other side of the bulkhead. I think it sounds like Klingon opera; my bunkmate thinks it sounds like the bagpipes being played by a novice. It could be Klingon opera on bagpipes. Starfleet soundproofing is good, but apparently it can't withstand this. What should we do?

 

Sincerely,

Banging on the Walls

 

Dear Banging on the Walls,

 

Have you considered responding in kind? Perhaps they'll get the hint. In the worst case, you'll start a trend and have your quarters block be known for its creativity. I'd personally love to see some up-and-coming Aldebaran Blues performers take root on Agincourt. How about you take that up?

 

The loving dispenser of valuable nuggets of wise offerings,

Xenexian.

 

P.S. Due to unforeseen additional commitments brought about by the cruel deities running Agincourt, my humble petitioners may encounter some delay in reply. The organizer of this useful column apologizes, and recommends complaints be forwarded elsewhere.
