    I think I see a Cloning Controversy over that "your rosy glasses". Note possible proper name with out Capital Markers: leads to ambiguity. Could be good, could be bad. Could derail a perfectly good story. How, you might ask yourself. Yes, how? Wait, I wanted to ask myself first. I didn't need you to come in and cut to the chase or for you trying to go before this matter had been cleared. What? In the Comments! bye.

    That was no cutting to the chase. There was no cutting and no chase. You literally walked out from behind this perfectly charming plastic papaya, stepped to the mike and read half a page of copy while the sound guy, the foley, retuned my pet tuna, yeah, he was tuning my tuna. Exactly like what it sounds like. And does this Pet Tuna have a name?

    That is the Pet Tuna's name. We have the documentation.

    [Covers microphone but we can clearly hear their discussion.] They say they have the documentation. They might. Could they be from Mars? Because I wouldn't put him past it. Fisk? Wilson Fisk? [At this point an altercation occurred in the court room which disconnected our Live Feed] We will update you as soon as we know more.

    That is a nice list you got there Slim. I wish I had thought of doing that when I first started doing EQs. I've had a lot of recurring characters over the years that are now lost to the spammers or site owners moving on. I have brought a few with me here but their backstories or intros are lost at other sites. Like Woab has her list of characters as well that when we would see them we already knew somewhat how they were. Not that that would stop us from doing whatever we wanted with each other's characters but it made each story richer because we knew them already.

    There are a lot of great lines in this story but I think my favorite is "but the ham-smelling infant was being gnawed on by the Beaver of Hyper-Criticism." It scans so well.

    Ta. v much Woab! Hope you are feeling better now. The Beaver of Hyper Criticism! I'd forgotten that... it makes its appearance in this story: http://foldingstory.com/d3azn/jkfumm/ I just hung out on your page, SW. It's looking good since you repapered and put in that feature wall. I had a little boogie to the 80s classics you got piped in there and snacked on the complimentary peanuts. Great job!

    Why thankya LL. Always glad to hear people enjoyed the new page. Did you find the sofas comfy? I got them special deal from the Wong Emporium closeout sale, the lava lamps are from a shop in Soho and the paintings are original J. Manatees, notice them tail swishes.

    I just knew you'd mention the sofa, SW. I wasn't passed out surrounded by empty alcopops. I was taking a little nap after an exhausting conversation with the Goat of Existential angst :)

    So it was you who kept the Goat of Existential angst tied up all night so that he missed vespers with Sister Keep Your Mitts Off Him Charity again.
