you are awfully young for that it seems to me ! unless you have received some kind of "inheritance" ? well, if you need an advance on your salary i am sure we can work something out. just write a formal request letter and send it to the accountant.

No, I don't plan to retire, my queen, but I have an awful feeling that this continuum is going to be discontinued pretty soon.
I wouldn't want my pay to fall into the space/time hole, you know, with the international economic crisis and so on. Except if this continuum isn't really contiguous with the one of the man behind the screen, so that we have no economic crisis at all. Then I'll gladly have a soirée just for the pleasure of it. I'm sure it would be, as ever, a success

les soirées de l'ambassadeur are always a success.

you are very wise to worry about the non-contiguity of the space-time continua, but then it's a classic example of the foresight and intelligence which explains your success as ambassadeur. luckily for you, pinwheel of course has a continuum contingency plan (ar ar ar !) which will protect us from any unhappy effects of disjointed geosynchronisation. never fear !

you can have an advance on your salary and a soirée anyway though. any excuse for a soirée, i always say. (pass the ferrero rochers please)

Oh no you don't! It was just frustration about not getting to read such a thrilling story speaking. You must post your next story in installments as well!

I'll just have to make sure I have more popcorn available

I would actually BUY this book. Story. Whatever. Coming from such a cheapskate as me........

Greg Anos · 12-15-2008, 09:17 AM

I have just finished the final ending segment. But I have to get the story to that point. I have to talk to a recruiter this morning about a job, so that has top priority. I hope to have the next chronological segment up late this afternoon.

Just remember what The Mikado said about cheap theatrical productions...

It's always good to be reminded that I serve a kingdom that is preparing so much for defense against future or alternate realities.
I remember fondly when I benefitted from our Alien Abduction Contingency Plan ... In order to alleviate the stress and trauma from the experimentation, I was awarded a 3-weeks trip in the islands and an invitation to dinner with the Queen herself, among other honored guests and friends of the realm.

Will this be enough for you, my Queen?

If need be, I can buy another one, this is only 10% of the budget of our next "soirée".

i'm very glad that was therapeutic for you.

well, we do have several esteemed guests coming from as far away as wales, so probably best to get a second one just to be sure.

Tease, toy, and tittilate. The three watchword for keeping a woman happy....

I've learned to take these sort of shocks in stride, ever since I got mooned by a nurse while I was in ICU once. So I put on my most suave and debonair attitude, and asked,
"May we see Ralph von Wau Wau."
"Do you have an appointment?"
"I'm afraid not."
"He usually doesn't see people without an appointment."
"If you'll inform him that we're here, I believe he'll make an exception in this case."
"Whom shall I announce?"
"Ralph SIr Edward and VivaldiRules."
She put on the hush and spoke to someone. She hung up and smiled.
"He can see you in 15 minutes. Would you care to have a seat while you wait. Perhaps a cup of coffee?"
I sat down. "Nothing to drink, thank you."
Obviously Ralph was keeping Army time. Hurry up and wait. The better to make us nervous, my pretty...
Finally a Scotman came in. He was wearin' a kilt anyways.
"Ralph Sir Edward? I'm GeoffC."
"Pleased to meet 'cha. This is my sidekick, VR."
"Hello, VR."
VR continued to look dumb, per agreement. Maybe Ralph didn't know that VR talked. Never show your cards unless you have to.
"If you'll follow me, please."
He led us down several hallways, and held open door into a large, empty room.
We went in, and GeoffC started to frisk me. I did the classic yank and flip, leaving GeoffC flat on his back with the wind knocked out of him. A voice over the intercom said. "Now that wasn't very nice, Herr Edward."
"Never trust a Scotsman wearin' a kilt feelin' behind you."
"Perhaps you have a point. If you would be so kind as to slide your .22 over towards a corner." I pulled out my hogleg and slid it off to one side. VR sort'a toddled off to the other side.
"Good. Now what do I have the honor of your presence? You never were the 'go see the old buddies' type."
"First, I've disarmed. How 'bout sending you human out of the room. He wasn't part of our 'old times'."
"You could frisk him."
"I don't think I want to frisk a Scotsman in a kilt."
"Another good point. He might return the flip. Geoff, wait outside. I should be able to handle this Texas gentleman without you're assistance."
"Fine, Sir." he got to his feet and left through the door we came in.
"All right Red, let's talk. You pick the topic."
"Dung."
"Dung?"
"Particularly rock-hard glittery dung?'
"Oh Ho." Ralph chortled. "You mean this dung?"
Part of the wall in front of me suddenly folded away like a pair of big double doors. In the next room was what looked like the Golden Coprolite, sitting on a pedestal, with a spotlight on it.

I've been busy converting books and must catch up here. In the meantime, I was wondering if The Golden Caprolite originated from The Golden Ass. Just curious.
