Lake Wrangler started humming a melody that was easily a half-octave lower than the average human voice could muster. Only half an octave lower? I must not have been even trying, then... :P (When my voice is in shape - i.e. no phlegm, well lubricated, etc - I can growl the third white note on the p...

"Stand down thar, Tina." Howard said with a quiet authority that usually got the point across, "- you've been pulled outta yer own time an' inna THIS one- y'all will return back t' th' moment y' came from an' nobuddy'll be th' wiser fer it. Ah... 'haps Ah oughta say 'we'... needs yer...

I never said anything about messing with them... I just want the intellectual satisfaction of knowing I am right.

Is that asking too much?

WARNING! WARNING! THREAD NECROMANCY IN PROGRESS! You cannot fool me, old man! Lockehaven IS Lockeport, NS! Complete, down to the street names used, the thinly veiled Grey (instead of the actual White) Gull Diner (Restaurant and Marina, in fact), and the rail-trail coming out of town at the North end...

That's pretty much why I have a tab open to the fanfic index, and am methodically re-reading all of them. Hours upon hours of captivating reading material.

My condolences to all on the other side of the pond, up in the Great White North, and Down Under. Her Majesty was a lady of great consequence whose reign shall not soon be forgotten. May God save the King. I concur wholeheartedly, and wish my condolences to any British subject and/or Anglophile amo...

WARNING: THREAD NECROMANCY IN PROGRESS! --- WARNING: THREAD NECROMANCY IN PROGRESS! Six and a half years later, and it's just as fascinating a read, and I'm just as thick as I was back then, apparently, since I still needed to read the explanation as to why Robert Cooper was now in protective custod...

A blister...

Well, I suppose that's true. Just how would one get one there, however, I cannot imagine... nor do I want to, either...

Back from vacation, and loving this new installment! (Can't help but wonder how much of this is true... I seem to recall one of Al's stories beginning with something to the effect of "the following is all true, except for the parts that are not.") [Nitpick] "I am not surprised the y w...

I had covid back in May... typical cold symptoms, in exactly the same order as a normal cold for me. Except it lasted two weeks instead of one, like a normal cold would. I wanted to go to the clinic to get checked out, and figured they would probably want to know, so I took an at-home rapid test, an...

Leaving for a short bicycle trip, many days later than I should have...

Hey! Where's the rest? I'm going into withdrawal, here!

"The state has eyes?" Maggie asked.

Ah! If only it were not so...

By the way, do the boys know/how do they feel about being immortalized in fanfic for posterity?

Brow furrowed, she asked, "Where's your Dad? Is he out there?" "He and Al are out on the front yard, yakkin'. I think they waiting on the sun." "Al?" she thought, "... who's Al?... OH... that's right! We have company... " "Don't bother bringing it back h...

Then there was the old widow who lived near the border back in the late 19th century when they re-established the line in areas where the surveying was less than precise- the new team informed her that in fact, her cabin is in Eastern Montana, not Saskatchewan as she had believed for all her life. ...

She did the same thing with her other strip, Narbonic. Although if I recall, the story was completed long before the end of the strip, for that one. The story told us how Helen Narbon went Mad ( TM ), while meeting someone (an evil attorney... no, not an attorney that is evil, but an attorney for ev...

As a proud Canadian, living in a city with real winters (unlike folks in Toronto...), I take exception to that remark...

Still... hindsight 20/20 and all, I should have kept my comment to something like:

So... you finally decided it was time you were "doing it right"?

Well, I suppose I can put my catching-up-on-the-old-fanfics operation on hold, for a bit... While I don't think much of remarriage (I am, after all, waiting for God to bring my wife back...), I'm guessing your first spouse has long since remarried... So congratulations, Greg! My first spouse is dea...
