Um.  Although I see now that you were commenting on the shorter
version -- were you expressing an implicit preference there for less
verbage?

Well, I hope the following will be an acceptable compromise between
brevity, wit, and Paarfiction:

Rev. Mk. 23:

My esteemed parents traveled to Dragaera City for a holiday, but the
unfortunate timing of their sojourn led to its interruption by the
unrest preceding that crucial point in our history when the conflict
between Lord Adron e'Kieron and Emperor Tortaalik erupted into open
rebellion, culminating in the explosion of raw amorphia that
transformed the city and its environs into the Lesser Sea of Chaos.
While I am indeed glad that my parents escaped the Disaster with their
lives, they pretended that due to the haste of their departure from
the city, the only token of their adventure they could do me the honor
of presenting to me was this unremarkable torso-shaped shirt.
