Intellectual Bigamy and Other High Crimes

You and me, babe, let's battle all the way to the final round! Blowing chunks of cheese and haiku along the way! Teehee!

Thanks, I was much impressed with your entry, too!

But now, says the Once-ler,
Now that you're here,
the word of the Lorax seems perfectly clear.
UNLESS someone like you
cares a whole awful lot,
nothing is going to get better.
It's not.

Thanks for the compliments! They make things much better!
Especially since lately I was getting much wetter!
(Was up in Seattle to help a friend move)
But now that I'm home I'll get back in my groove,
And comment on others as others need comments -
I've learned if you like 'em they'll treasure your tuppence.

Teehee!

...on the subject of underwear? Teehee!

...if only there were a little LESS of it!

Your trio of favorite writers is pretty darn good, too! If we are what we eat, surely we are what we READ, too?!

Thanks for the compliments and backatcha!

... but it doesn't hurt! Teehee!

Thank you commenting. It got me to seek out YOUR entry and I'm very glad to have done that. Books. I love them. I'm currently reading a multibiography on the five granddaughters of Queen Victoria who ended up with thrones of their own.

Wrinkle in Time. Yeah. That's me too! Teehee!

Interesting. You presumed that I was pitching a series - and I wasn't. My primary idea (I have more than one) isn't at all related to writers, except obliquely. In fact none of my ideas are.

That said, what an interesting idea YOU've suggested!

Thanks for the compliments!

Anyone *hungry* for a little hostiness should check out your entry.

Thanks for checking me out and throwing compliments my way.

Thanks for the good words and for battling those HOOPS to get them here!!!

Itsa dat fog inna Londra?!

Thanks for the compliments!

I've had folks try to get me to do a podcast reading short stories for ages, but I've not quite figured out the technology behind it - and since I still have dialup, this much I know - uploading would be h*ll.

Nevertheless, this contest has made me think again about looking more seriously into podcasting.

I'm a fat man with white beard and big pipes - of *course* Orson's name rises to your lips! How could it not?!

Teehee!

Seriously though, it's not Orson who's my inspiration - even though I look and sound like him. It is Peter Ustinov who is God.

Thanks for the compliments and backatcha!

Oooh! I love me some Peter Ustinov...Death On The Nile, please, no ice!

...to play The Wicked Fairy in Ustinov's THE LOVE OF FOUR COLONELS. It was the role he wrote for himself - so you can just *imagine*. I had no end of fun with the character. If you aren't familiar with the piece, track it down. It's a hoot!
