The Guilty Conscience.
June 30, 2007
“Do we really have to continue down this passage?”
mumbled Edna furtively, peering into the gloom.
“Just a little further” coaxed Mother, squinting at the photograph,
“according to this, The Chivvy was last spotted right around…
BY THE EIGHT-THUMBED PLUMBER OF… THROW IT
THE HAM, EDNA – THE HAM!”

Dammit, Parenthesis – will this do?.

Oooh. Definite tingling in the fingers and toes, sense of euphoria … it might just do Ms. B, it might just do …

Mmmmm… Hammmmm.

I know … there goes the neighbourhood, eh? :)

xGW: Darn. I missed a fine/glaringly obvious opportunity to work a couple of People Patties into the ‘storyline’…
As the delightful proprietor of Motel Hell puts it: “it takes all kinds of critters to make Farmer Vincent’s Fritters.”
Kyknoord: We’re all ham, all the time.
Parenthesis: I’m watching you.

But seriously. Who throws a HAM?
July 2, 2007 at 11:02 am
Oooooooooooooooh Mrs B, is that a challenge? :)
July 2, 2007 at 11:04 am
And Ekke, why not a ham? It’s better than waving a weenie … [ahem]
*jig*
Oh me, oh my, the power of the unmoderated comment :)
July 2, 2007 at 11:35 am
Ekke: One comment, and you’re already getting lippy. Welcome, you’ll fit right in.
Hey, I just call it like I saw it, guy. I must concur, though: I’d have drawn it off with a nice chunk of thigh-meat, or that perky little kid that keeps chivying me on the Internet… Oh, hi, Parenthesis – I didn’t see you there. Hang on.. is that a ‘mark as spam’ button?
July 2, 2007 at 12:05 pm
So long at it’s not a “Mark as Ham” button Mrs. B. And thanks for the compliment, it’s years since anyone has called me “perky” or for that matter “kid” … :)
July 2, 2007 at 12:34 pm
It’s not so much a compliment as it is a blatantly transparent ploy to sway your vote in my… Wait! Did I just type that out loud?
July 2, 2007 at 12:35 pm
Gee, didn’t see that coming …
July 3, 2007 at 11:36 am
And buya buya donkey for the dishonorable mention lass, much appreciated!
July 3, 2007 at 11:54 am
No, thank you, my son. Thank you.
July 3, 2007 at 12:22 pm
Dishounourable mention? Pffft. I hurl insults about all day and no one offers to buy ME an ass [calling me one does not qualify] … :)
July 3, 2007 at 12:35 pm
Parenthesis: I might have a ham lying about, if you’re interested. Maybe some pickles…
(So, how is tenmiles’ entry coming along? I’m just asking.)
July 3, 2007 at 1:01 pm
What, now I’m a pig?
How rude.
I think we need to chivy Ten Miles along, he was all over the place last week and now seems to have sunk below the radar. Will dispatch a search party immediately. [Although by implication he did say he might bring it along to my little dinner on Saturday night …. ?]

infini, we live dangerously around here. You know, life on the very edge, and stuff.
I hope you brought your wallet.

You may stay.
