Depends on who's holding the taser, doesn't it, Pooh?

And anything written concerning me has to meet with the approval of my official biographer.
Her name is Ann Rule.

WT Sharpe · 06-28-2010, 07:59 PM

Seriously thoughtful.

Poohbear_nc, how's your head today? Better, I hope.

Much better tonight - today was a little rocky - but I finally got a new med that works. It's these blankety-blank frontal boundaries moving & stalling & moving back - the pressure changes trigger the headaches.

And yes Am - you're going to have a VERY significant part coming up! So spruce up the hat!

Three cheers for medical science! Hopefully we'll get some relief from this weather later this week, and I hope for your sake the blankety-blank pressure stabilizes.

Your High Noon series is great!

Sounds like at least one of you is enjoying that thought a little too much!

Although come to think of it, if both parties consent, who am I to object to a little tasering among friends?

- M.

Ergh - you very much have my sympathies - that was one of the major triggers for me. If you can get it, ask about pizotifen - it's a migraine preventer that isn't also an anti-depressant, beta-blocker or similar. Since I've been on them (about January this year) I've had three or four minor migraines, and no major ones. Normally I get one or two really bad ones a month, and minor ones once or twice a week.

You're a fully fledged writer now, though, Pooh

And my hat. And (non-existant, nay, imaginary) running shoes!

HIGH NOON

THE EPIC SAGA OF A GENERATION

Viewer warning: This installment contains graphic nekkidness.

Well, Sheriff HarryT looked at Judge Nate, who looked at Doc, who looked over, errrr, down at Deputy pb, who looked into the doggie's eyes.
"What have we got to lose?" asked Doc, "Let's humor the little lady and get an answer to this baffling puzzle."
So the doggie was sent to Florence's "studio of ill repute" to fetch the alleged portrait of an iPad thief, or at least the tush of a thief.

The gibbon wound up the player piano and the dreams bimbo beguiled the waiting crowd with a medley of show tunes and Broadway standards. The ladies from the cat house slunk back into the saloon, licking their chops, waiting for more fun to erupt.

A packed house awaited the arrival of the portentous portrait!

The scratching of claws on hard-packed dirt, loud panting, and the occasional canine profanity announced the return of the gray doggie, clutching the portrait, discreetly concealed in a plain brown wrapper, in his sturdy jaws. Doc erected a make-shift easel on the bar using Grandma's stick and several chairs, and the portrait was proudly positioned in its place of honor.

Zelda, Deb, KK, Verencat, & Neko used their combined strength to drag Alex onto the bar next to the painting. The ape began a drum roll on the top of the piano, and the crowd held its breath! Florence stepped forward and slowly, carefully unwrapped her painting, and then dramatically stepped aside, revealing:

WARNING: DO NOT OPEN THIS SPOILER TAG UNLESS YOU HAVE PROOF YOU ARE OVER 21 YEARS OF AGE, AND DO NOT FAINT EASILY WHEN CONFRONTED WITH GRAPHIC NEKKIDNESS!

Spoiler:

At the same time, Zelda de-pantsed Alex.

The crowd gasped! Florence beamed! Grandma swore up a blue streak! The doggie swooned! The ape applauded wildly!

Florence explained: "Obviously they're identical! My painting has captured the essence of Alex's derriere. I gazed at it for hours and painted the message my soul received!"

Well, Sheriff HarryT looked at Judge Nate, who looked at Doc, who looked over, errrr, down at Deputy pb, who looked into the doggie's eyes. Doc stepped forward and covered Alex from public view. Sheriff HarryT re-wrapped the painting. The doggie wept. The gibbon closed the lid over the piano keys.

Sheriff HarryT spoke first: "Well folks, if that painting is Alex's derriere, I'm a monkeys .... (the gibbon muttered savagely here), errr, we're all sadly mistaken."

Their hopes had been dashed. Florence had been sniffing the oil paints again. The town was no closer to regaining its rightful iPad. Alex was still a prisoner.

Doc leaned over the bar and asked the crest-fallen Florence "Say, Miss Florence, in addition to being the town's loose-living Bohemian artist in residence, ain't you also the school marm?"

"Why yes" responded Florence, "You know I teach grades K - 6."

"Well, ma'am," continued Doc, "If you're here now, who's watching your class?" Florence froze as the full implication of Doc's question sank in......

(To be continued - no matter where, no matter when!)

recluse · 06-28-2010, 11:01 PM

Less abstract nekkidness.
Less nekkidness period.
More violence of a graphic nature.
Imaginary peoples inhumanity to imaginary people.
Less westerny.
Torture would be nice.
"Reservoir Dogs" stuff.
No musical numbers.
Less gibbon.
Exploding people is always appreciated.
A touch of Lovecraft would help.
I like stories with storms in them.
No vampires, werewolves, teens or faeries.
Graveyards are appreciated.
No sex.
No romance. It's unrealistic.
More actual cursing.
No horses.
Biker gangs are fun.
Hangings are great family entertainment.
No children. Don't like them.
Satanism is a nice subplot.
Killer blood drinking carrots.
A nice, long, graphic human flensing is great fun.
A subplot where a certain group of old bats get beaten boneless with a stick would be a nice bit of needed slapstick.
Have you got a headache yet? I do.
Otherwise, I think the story is swell.
You write real good, Pooh.
*BIG HUG*
Don't ever change.
But your character in the story should be taller.

Her name is Ann Rule.

Are you somebody famous pretending to be like the rest of us weirdos?

recluse · 06-29-2010, 12:05 AM

Look up Ann Rule.
Think a minute.
Then see if you still really want to know.

You are just too cute.

I did. That's why I asked.
