You did.

But I'm pretty sure you knew that.

Pretty sure you knew that, too

Actually, no. I only remember it from a cartoon when I was a kid. "Savoir Faire is Everywhere!"

I know a joke that perhaps defines it best...

But it is highly unsuitable for the public forum.


Well, semi-unsuitable, at any rate.

Final word count for the day: 2386. that's including my 500 words I wrote, then cut, this morning.

I spent much of those words flailing about, trying to figure out what happens next. I HATE THAT. no more working without an outline.

I would kill for a miniature Cadbury cream egg right about now. *eyes smibbles*

Wait wait wait! The smibbles are full of chocolate and sugar cream? Why didn't you tell me?

Don't start without me!

*goes to fetch large hammer and sack for carrying smibbles*

Okay, go ahead without me. The sleepies suddenly struck me. I gotta go to bed. I'll crush and eat sugary smibbles tomorrow.

Night all.

Cold

It's really cold out here, alone.
Friends have died, or else, have gone.
The great unknown yaws before my signt,
yet I am blinded by the light
of Hope.

But, my friend, 'tis warm in here.
With new friends and joy
and lots of cheer.
So pull up a stool, We'll get you a drink
We'll get you so drunk you won't have to think.

Then on the morrow in hangover hell,
We'll break the news slowly;inform you that well
The unknown this night, that you faced with such fear,
Was nothing much more than our Kraken's fat rear.


Don't worry about the sugary smibbles all over the floor, Jallenecs said she'd eat them tomorrow.

I'm pretty new here myself, so I don't know how new you are, but welcome anyway.

Excellent.

Morning cantinas

Watch out if you're tumbleweed watching this morning, it's really windy here so if they hit you they'll probably rip your face off.

Not sure I'm in the mood to do too much today. I think I might try to build an outline this afternoon. Anyone for some wordsmithing later, say 2:30 my time, which I believe Junely said was about 9:30 on the East Coast US time, and is probably the middle of the night for Sian and Debio - sorry guys, maybe you could organise your own gig and we could take turns?

Tea anyone?

Yes please to tea. Red or herbal. Tummy feels a good bit better but still dodgy.

Peppermint ok?

Glad you're starting to feel better.

I am glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

I have some really good barley tea. No caffeine, but it hits that sweet spot at the back of the throat that turns off the "must stop drinking" switch. You end up guzzling the whole dang thing before you know you even started. Like good beer.

Hope you're feeling better today Fen. My headache has finally gone (yay!) so I'm feeling a bit better. It's time to commence Operation Get All Work Done Before Annual Leave Next Week!

slcboston said:

Isn't this the British response to everything, though?

Got a headache? Tea makes it better.

Feeling down? Tea makes it better.

Had your leg chewed off? Tea makes it better.

End of the world invasion by Eldritch Gods? Tea makes it better.

You are getting it a little wrong. Let me explain to you the British Disaster Response Scale:

1. Heavy rain. Response: complain bitterly about weather and British traffic. Drink tea.

2. Mild case of flu. Response: complain bitterly about how ill you feel. Drink lots of tea whilst lying in bed.

3. Heavy rain causes flooding. Response: wade through chest-high muddy water carrying small children to dry land. Old women row to safety on upturned tables, tell firemen "It reminds me of the war years!" Rescuers and rescuees drink tea together.

4. Leg eaten by tiger. Response: dismiss it as "just a scratch". Get hilarious t-shirt made mocking own leglessness. Drink tea and maybe beer.

5. World War Elebenty breaks out. Response: jokingly complain that they had to go and do it on a Saturday. Old men get their antique guns out and join Dad's Army. Everyone drinks tea.

6. The end of the world and the return of the Elder Gods. Response: Keep calm and carry on. No one complains about anything. The phrase "Worse things happen at sea you know!" is repeated often. Drink tea made on small campfires in recycled tin cans.

Also, where's Cobra? He's been AWOL for a couple of days...

Oh my god, so nervous. My hands are sweaty and I'm shaaaaking.

And I have a paper cut

I noticed that yesterday, but figured he'd show up. I wondered if it was part of a plot to see how long it would take us to notice.

*Starts looking for Cobra*

*Calls in extras for search party*

*wonders about volunteers*

Aw, poor 10s

You'll be fine. Go get 'em I say. And if you see Mister Cobra out there, tell him his coffee's going cold.

I've decided that life is so much better when you go back to bed for half an hour.

*joins the search party for Cobra*

Where is that guy...?

Morning, Cantina!

New, very pleasant trend for me! I've started sleeping through the night again! No waking up in the middle of the night screaming with muscle spasms! I can totally live with this!

should we set out Cobra Bait?

I wouldn't exactly call that Cobra bait. Or, at least, not limited to Cobra. I might be tempted into that trap with this.

Exactly my point. If, by some stretch of the imagination, he is unimpressed by the girl, he can't overlook the gun.

In other news, the New Madrid Fault went off Tuesday morning, with a 4.0 Richter. It was felt in 13 states. Freaky. That fault is past due for a blowout, and, since I (and a number of our other Cantinarinos) live in the zone, I keep a watch on it.
