Well, it's possible that I wrote the first few sentences about Vera (back in the pre-golden era of MR) but Harv was definitely PlanetHead's creation. Where is he, anyway? Or is he still stuck in the airport? Maybe the Transportation Safety Authority has confuscated his cranial container.

Huh? Did I miss something?

Oh Dear Me! I hope that isn't the case. He's got a rather cute little cranial container there; we'd hate to see it damaged. Or lost, or anything.

The image of the squid's eyes "growing wide," knowing what I do about squidly orbs, is now permanently stuck in my brain.

Make it a cockatiel, and when he's deprogrammed, he can say "Whatcha doin'?" "Who's a silly bird?" "Whatcha doin', silly bird?" and "Tweet!" At least, that covers the vocabulary mine has. He also sings in two styles, which we call the "march" and the "aria".

please can we have a "no food or drink warning" to attach to some of the threads (as well as the Silliness tag)

I'm here. Just back from Miami. Will spend tomorrow recuperating, then the next week on all the work that piled up while I was off working. Funny how that, err, works.

I do have the dubious honor of introducing Harv to the group, Think "hog calling" and "squeegee". It's nice to see that Harv, to use a Southernism, has managed to get above his raising, though to me he'll always be that lovable, amorous, long-haul trucker who's absolute devotion to his porcine princess Vera is a testament and inspiration.

ahmen to good news ....

Oops! I guess I mis-remembered because when I wrote my first installment, VR had been saying that he was going to write a Harv and Vera story soon, and that got me confused. Looking back, yes, indeed, Taylor was the originator of Harv.
