I love this video. Always makes me want to get an ascot and Niven it up when I'm painting.
Feel free to call me Dave!

Never seen "Niven" used as a verb before.

Niven

verb

to be both debonair and rakish while sporting a pencil thin mustache and trying to get young ladies into bed,

The ascot, too, is a critical aspect of Nivenning.

Should we wear ascots on Sunday? Kind of Michael Caine-J.O.E. Vandelier style?

Or maybe that's a terrible idea in Joshin's gaming room in the middle of the Japanese summer. :?

I've always wanted to play Diplomacy in a big, old English manor library. Overstuffed leather armchairs, walls of antique books, smoking jackets, snifters of brandy, maybe a few valets scattered about to relay orders. Wot, wot.

Wearing comedy headgear and mustaches particular to each nation would be the icing on the cake. It must happen.
