“Good afternoon, sir.” “Good afternoon. I came to ask about that book I dropped off. The one with the curse on it? Or that’s what I thought.” “Yes, sir. I was able to work out Abigail Bergoo’s handwriting. And it IS a curse.” “Is it just another one of those cursesContinue reading “WEIRD WEDNESDAY FICTION: Ex Libris”

THE SOUND AND THE FURRY: The Big Princess, pt. 2
Drewvia stopped and licked her lips. Then she whispered, “Here, kitty, kitty.” The tiger now stopped and licked its own lips. “Good kitty,” said Drewvia, a little more loudly. “Come on. Don’t be scared. I won’t hurt you.” The tiger frowned. “Dear little kitty,” said the princess. “I like kitties. I won’tContinue reading “THE SOUND AND THE FURRY: The Big Princess, pt. 2”
Another Halloween Tradition
“Aren’t you that bloke who was JUST complaining about people telling you every single year that the original jack-o-lantern was a hollowed-out turnip?” Yes, curried candy corn, but I have to see those videos. I don’t have to read my own blog. MY Halloween refrain, while repetitive, at least adds a little varietyContinue reading “Another Halloween Tradition”
Old Maids and Other Unnecessaries
Once again, dear reader, your faithful bloggist has come through. Prompted by the seventh online expert in one week to tell me that the original jack-o-lantern was carved from a turnip (something they told us every year in grade school, thank you all) I looked up one or two questions no one was tellingContinue reading “Old Maids and Other Unnecessaries”
THE SOUND AND THE FURRY: The Big Princess, Pt. 1
The land of Costren was a pretty nice place to live, except for the giant. There’s always something. The giant, a hungry, hairy figure of a man eight times as tall as a tree, used to come around to Costren for his lunch every day, with the result that a family or twoContinue reading “THE SOUND AND THE FURRY: The Big Princess, Pt. 1”
FICTION FRIDAY: Sweet Fighter
“I am impressed, Dr. Van Helsing. You are the last person I would have expected to decorate his house so thoroughly for Halloween trick-or-treaters.” “At this time of year, the curtain between worlds is at its thinnest. If I can lure the demonic monsters here, I can avoid having them attack innocent partygoers.”Continue reading “FICTION FRIDAY: Sweet Fighter”
Women of Mystery
I sometimes come to you, my army of readers, when I am confused by a postcard. This is done on the theory that everyone across the Interwebs has information, or at least an opinion. When some point in a joke or a picture has me puzzled, I bring my troubles to you, and notContinue reading “Women of Mystery”
THE SOUND AND THE FURRY: The Five Hairy Princesses, Pt. 2
There didn’t seem to be any walls or floor here: only darkness. King Basso didn’t like to think what might be hiding in the dark, so he walked close behind the princesses, who were shimmering just a little, just enough to be seen. “Of course,” he said to himself, “If I can’t seeContinue reading “THE SOUND AND THE FURRY: The Five Hairy Princesses, Pt. 2”
FICTION FRIDAY: Decanted
“Master!” “Great Leapin’ Honk! Where in the name of all that’s pretty did YOU come from?” “You rubbed the lamp, Master.” “Teach me to dust in here; I’ll never do THAT again. You’re some manner of genie, are you?” “Sealed into the lamp by Solomon himself a thousand and aContinue reading “FICTION FRIDAY: Decanted”
Hey, I’m New At This
Not so long ago in this space, we considered the jokes swapped between residents of the rural parts of the world and those who lived in the city. This town vs. country debate is ancient and widespread, and COULD be considered part of the basic human belief that the people who live the wayContinue reading “Hey, I’m New At This”
