Right now, I'm in the post-coital period of a spa-based mind-frak that had me contemplating significant details of the introduction to a novel I shall forever be starting to write in my head. It involved a Dugong and an older model Porsche 911. Currently its tiny, bubbling details are fizzing and bursting at the surface, and disappearing beyond recollection.

Cheers,
Marc

Oh wow..... I am dying to know how you can combine a large marine mamal and a Porsche

Hurry up and finish already! (Pouring myself another cup of cafe laté in anticipation)

You have to adjust the driver's seat all the way back.

Still fail to see how you'll get it to work. I mean, I had a Porsche 944 a few years back, and that one is bigger than a 911. And there is no WAY a Dugong would have fit in there. Heck, I could possibly have fit a bunch of pirate ninja squirrels, greased up and using a shoehorn. But something the size of a manatee, nope....

So, without further ado, go write that story for our enjoyment. Now, scoot!

If you want a dugong to drive a Porsche, you have to apply for a poetic license, or get a fake one. Guess which mine is.

DG, that's the llama I got for him!!! He used it .... he actually USED IT!!

Soooo coool.
It's the llast llama for a while, so enjoy. I'm making a new shift to commemorate the Harv and Vera story I'm making up as I go along over in the e-reader naming thread. There are mixed reviews, ranging from "Eeeeewwwww!!!!!" to "Thank ghod the exploding llama is gone, but eeeeeewwwwww!!!!!"

So, my mission here is accomplished.

In honour of Harv and Vera, I'm converting Elizabeth von Arnim's Vera, from scans at the Internet Archive.
I hope to post a copy this evening. The saga of Harv and Vera has more cliff-hangers, though...

I'm sitting right now in my cab on a taxi stand in the rainy night waiting for clients. Ah well. I love nightshifts. No, really I do! Have my EEE right here on my lap, listening to some New Orleans music, reading the Bellem I posted today (noticed a spelling error I have to right tomorrow at home) and chatting away in the MR forum. There are worse ways to spend your time.

Ah, those times when I really was cut off from the world on nights like these. Thank God for the mobile internet.

Trying to put the plot twists I've mentioned and a fight scene I've envisioned into order for Harv and Vera's Panama Vacation.

Sigh... I hate to ask this, since I'm not sure I want to read Harv & Vera again (oops, sorry pshrynk) but where is THIS part of their adventure going on? It must be in a thread that I've abandoned following. Perhaps that's for the best.........

Right now, I'm eavesdropping on an interesting converastion:

“I’m bored”, sighed Hugo.

“Uh-huh. Want to sneak up to Taylor’s apartment again? He has that vast expanse of carpet with no furniture”.

“I know.”

“It’s like being in the desert.”

“You’ve said that.”

“We could play French Foreign Legion again.”

“No thanks.”

“He’s got that new scarf you like.”

“I know.”

“She could be a princess we rescue”.

“I’m still not sure she’s a she.”

“How can you tell, with a scarf? The colors? The length?”

“I’m still thinking about it. It’d be easier if she were a smart wool sock, I could just ask.”

“Yeah. Too bad.”

“I’m bored.”

“We could sneak up to Taylor’s apartment, and put ourselves on the wrong feet again then when he tries to walk he keeps tripping like when he was moving his mattress in.”

“Heh… he thumped is head on the floor and yelled ‘sucking focks!’”

“Yeah! Hey Hugo, what’s a fock?”

“Umm.. it’s what two socks do when they really love each other. I’ll explain when you’re older.”

“Ok. Hey Hugo? We’re twins.”
