Grandma Susie's House of FUNNERS 'N FLOOZIES (Volume IV)

Back from the eclispse!

Yes, I did absorb all the secrets of the universe, but I had to sign a confidentiality agreement. Sorry.

Next visible eclipse in Southern Cal: 2071

Mark your calendars.

Don't forget the Transit of Venus in a couple of weeks.

Isn't that a book by Henry Miller? Are they reissuing?

Uh, yeah, that's a book by Henry Miller. He also wrote Transit of Capricorn.

And didn't he write "Mass Transit in Midwestern Cities?"

That was Stephen King.

I thought King's was the sequel: "It in Midwestern Cities"

He also wrote The Fruit Stand. It's about the human race almost being destroyed by a new type of fungus on rotten bananas.

Was that one autobiographical? Was it HIS rotten banana?

You're thinking of Misery Loves Company.

No, no, I'm pretty sure the one you're thinking of is "Misery Loves 'Three's Company'"

Where's Syd? She usually shows up late at night.

It's not my turn to keep watch on her.

We all have our dirty jobs to do.

My job is to shoot the muppet . . . if he will even stand still long enough and stop capering and prancing about.

I think it's the capering that adds an element of sport.

Not quite "The Most Dangerous Game," but maybe "The Most Erratic Muppet."

Maybe I need a new job.

Say, napping.

*somersaults into thread*

Brioche: eaten.

ROAR

We're out of beer.

Mah ears are a burnin!

I just downloaded Scrivener. Now I'm trying to learn how to use the thing. Also, it is making me want to organize more than write

Gah!

Even the speciality 'Belgian' stuff from Colorado?

If you find that Scrivener is too much, you could try the free version of Page Four.

I have some mead left. I think from last summer.

Is that like the Sun's page three?

I'm not surprised. That stuff sounds revolting. Northumbrian mead is quite the speciality in, well, Northumberland (which used to be Northumbria until Maggie Thatcher changed everything around). I've never been able to bring myself to drink it, though.

My friends wouldn't even drink it, and they'll normally drink anything that's free.

Maybe I should buy some Foster's for them. Or Lonestar; that's almost as bad.
