I knew he would... he did try to prevent him from being shot.

Yes, particle board was invented in the ealy thirties because there wasn't enough decent wood to make plywood, and all of it went to make airplanes. So someone in western Europe had the brilliant idea of adding glue to planer shavings. There it was; particle board. It meant that furniture could be built quicker with resources that were burned off before. Even today it's a most ecological solution.

well, dear doctor, the ball is yours now!

badgoodDeb · 02-12-2010, 06:16 PM

But if that ball is made from particle board, it ain't gonna bounce real high. You'd better get to it fast. Just sayin'.

I'm not too sure what you mean exactly...

badgoodDeb · 02-15-2010, 02:24 PM

Just connecting your particle board with tennis balls .... and thinking that they wouldn't bounce too well. Blathering, actually!

I was wondering when the good doctor would continue... HIS BLOODY STORYYY!!!

I've got so many ideas about that story I could write a novel... But I know nothing about poker.

In the alley behind the Casino, two of the spies lurked in the shadows. Every now and then, one of them would go out for take out. It was going to be a long stake out.

"Do you suppose that leTerrible has seen the error of his ways and left the arena?" asked Bois Aussi.

"I don't think so," replied Slite, "As far as we know, the chairs are riggeed to explode. If he's left, then there would have been some form of sabotage. He doesn't like to leave things undone."

"Funny that way. But our two Axis friends seem to be getting agitated."

Down the alley a bit, Hilda and Miyatake were yelling at each other. Since they were were yelling, respectively, in German and Japanese, the effect was one of minimal communication.

Slite opened up a small box of won ton soup an noisily slurped at it.

"Do you need to make so much noise? They might hear us!" asked Boise Aussi.

"With all the racket those two are making? Not bloody likely!"

The bilingual argument ended and the Axis spies marched indignantly away from their hiding spot.

"Now where do you suppose they're off to?" asked Slite.

"Probably a bathroom break. The argument it has gone on for hours, non?"

"We should tail them."

Just then there was a loud BzzzzT! Pop! and the smell of ozone in the alley. The body of a man materialized four feet above the pavement and fell with a thump to the gorund. The man sat up, rubbing his head and said, "Oy!"

"Well, there's something you don't see every day," said Slite.

"Not outside Carnivale, at least."

The man stood unsteadily and wobbbled past Bois Aussi and Slite, mumbling, "That felt all yellow..."

badgoodDeb · 02-15-2010, 03:35 PM

Odd -- I've been hungering for wonton soup lately, and can't find any sort in the grocery. I guess I'll have to go to a Chinese take-out place.

yvanleterrible · 02-15-2010, 05:14 PM

Is it better feeling yellow than feeling blue?

ShortNCuddlyAm · 02-15-2010, 06:07 PM

At least you can wash yellow off...

GeoffC · 02-16-2010, 05:34 AM

.....with a blue rinse.

"Hugo?"

"Yeah, Lefty."

"Do you know what time it is?"

"Can we ever really know the time, Lefty? We pass through the universe on a wave of instants that are always 'now' and never 'then.' If we try to put a precise definition on time, then we are but looking backwards from where we are, which is constantly leaving the 'just then' to the 'right now.' I submit that it is impossible to know what time it is. Rather, we can only know what time is was."

"I meant, is our cue coming up? I don't want to miss it like we did last week."

"Oh, that. We're on in about ten. Grab that lineman's tool and let's go find our marks."

Unnoticed by the milling humans in the Casino, two socks rolled across the floor of the main tournament room. One of them was dragging a sturdy pair of pliers behind it.

GeoffC · 03-01-2010, 11:11 AM

"Hugo?"

"Yeah, Lefty".

"Why the pliers?"

"Why to pull the next episode of this long awaited saga from the jaws of the typewriter hidden underneath the poker table, by the Author".

"Oh!"

Unnoticed by the small crowd around the poker table, the Author was quietly having a snooze as his last chit went into the pot. Two socks carefully trundled slowly underneath the cloth.
A stiletto went through Hugo's heel...impaling the poor benighted being to the carpet ....

The crowd went silent as a shriek bellow was heard.....

The Author awoke at the banshee wail, reached under the table......and ....
