I...need to start writing again.

Holy s***. I haven't looked at them in a good long time. That....is interesting, and humbling.

I wonder how much of that is search bots and how much real people?

Faux-outrage/indignation aside, I do like the way you write your fanfics: even as you are making stuff up, you are "keeping it real", so to speak. By transposing this fictional universe into ours, and including names of real places, streets, highways, and so on, it makes your make-believe...

As I have mentioned a number of times, now, I've been going through the list of fanfics, re-reading them in the order they are listed on the fanfic index thread , and one thing that made me laugh was that at one point, before the Full Disclosure fanfic was written, discussion was being had of doing...

And that miserable git is gonna get his when he's not looking. There is a pile of dung somewhere on that farm with his name on it...

Many thanks. I cringe when I read most of my own work, but "Full Disclosure" is considerably less cringeworthy than some items.

Yes.

YOU are more-or-less harmless. Others may not be. I do not need to inflict some malicious moron on these poor folk.

Lake, I have said it before and I will say it again.

You mess with my herd and there is going to be a Sphinx picking bus driver out of her teeth.


I am NOT confirming anything.

Brow furrowed, she asked, "Don't bother bringing it back here- I'll put on some clothes and take it out there." That's very considerate of her... :lol: She can have her coffee anywhere she wants... I make it a matter of personal policy not to chastise people who are more dangerous than I ...

Actually, I just realized that for some reason, I wasn't visualizing a leaf blower, but a snowblower . . . --FreeFlier {ponders} Now THAT might be an interesting experiment, especially with a 2-stage machine. In that case, one could say that the shite hit the fan by design! Thank you very mulch, th...

Oh, they do. To be honest, however, Al wouldn't bother with the leaf blower, when a portal and a bit of telekinesis would do...

FWAP!

Most of the links are in the fanart area - the site upgrade did them in.

You get the idea, you get the job...

Warrl, I am NOT going to fix that - just because it's so DAMN funny that you noticed it after all this time...

I'll be over here in the corner kicking myself for missing it.

My sister's first husband was into off-road driving - in mountainous, heavily-wooded territory - and explained to me that the advantage of 4-wheel drive is that you can get stuck deeper in the woods. As I used to teach my students: "Four wheel go does not mean four wheel stop. You have four wh...

We lucked out here. Only 3 inches of snow with rain at the end. I didn't have to shovel at all. My town is proof against snow accumulation this year. My old snowblower destroyed its engine (repairable but I don't feel like wasting the time/money on a 10+ year old machine) . I ended up buying an obs...

It occurred to me late last night, while I was in the middle of something only partially related, that Al (the character) was wrong about one thing. Only one thing? Old git's doing well. He not only should have insisted his interns spend some time driving the vehicle on the track, he should have in...

OPUS!

Opus, mate - let's talk about grit. Diamond grit, specifically.

What kind of grit ranges are you getting on average? I need a kilo or so of 1000-grit - my last supplier has dried up on me and going back to carborundum is just not on for the tumbler and hand fitting.

Talk to me, mate....
