You better err on the side of copyright and just castrate Don, it's the only way to be sure.

I like that as a First Sentence, too.

By the way, the story "Knock," by Fredric Brown, is ready for upload.

Wow. Uh, I don't really think I'd want to read much more of that book, Dr. Dribbles. Maybe you should try again.

vivaldirules · 01-10-2009, 11:43 AM

oh, never mind.

Is that another neverending story?

Dearest: I must leave you because I no longer love you, but you’re one of the nicest and sweetest guys I’ve ever met, and I know you would make a wonderful husband for someone, so here are some kisses and hugs for you - muyyyhhh.

Dearest: I must love you because I no longer leave you - my car is out of gas and, well with the price of gas being what it is these days, I don't think it would be prudent for me to refill it now, and then there's that game on the tube tonight, and I'm pretty beat from hanging out at MR all day, anyway so here are some kisses and hugs for you - muyyyhhh.

Life would have been so much easier if only the shop had not run out of dark chocolate that day; but then how was I to know a bar of milk chocolate could start diplomatic incident, a major traffic systems failure and a run on the US dollar?

It was one of those hot days in June, when the tigers in Africa in the little village of Mirbago wanted to eat all the funny little natives wearing their strange multi-colored loin-cloths (if that’s what they’re called), and singing in that falsetto way that natives like to sing in, but I wanted only to photograph their happy, ignorant faces as they scavenged for food in their avoidance of getting eaten by the tigers; however, I was unsuccessful in getting that one, great photo of this fat-bellied little child being dragged away into the bush by three very large tigers, although I followed them with my camera clutched in my hand, taking photo after photo of the struggling animals and the pudgy little boy (was it the rice that made him so fat, I wondered?), my white trousers and white shirt now somewhat soiled as I continued to follow them, clicking away with my Canon 40D, very thankful indeed that I had a fresh set of batteries and a 10-gig CF card installed in this wonderful camera that, even now, seemed to have a mind of its own as I moved closer to try to capture that one elusive photo that I knew would make me the toast of town and would show all my fellow Americans back home that I cared so much that I, too, was willing to be eaten by tigers.

I believe the 40D only takes CF cards - not SD. Also, if the protagonist had a 5D Mark II they could capture their own glory in 1080p HD video.

I'm just saying...

Cheers,

The way is now clear, we go thataway; follow the line that has been drawn in the air....
