Way way waaaaaaaaay back when I was in school and typing my paper on a typewriter (one of the new-fangled electric jobbies) I had to keep re-typing a word because I couldn’t get it to look right. I couldn’t remember whether it was “ov” or “ove”.

By the time I remembered it was “of” I decided it was time to quit for the night.

I’m glad your polyps are normal. Abnormal polyps lead to very dark fiction.

[Monkey Face]

Well! Now THAT is good news! (I’m uninsurable and have been since 1988)

[Monkey Face]

WHOA! I’ve never read anything by HP Lovecraft, and I think, now, I’m glad I didn’t. *sheesh* Don’t think I will, either.

[Darksheare]

But...but... where do you think I got some inspiration from?
/ needle needle

[Monkey Face]

Well, no doubt from some nefarious denizen of the deep dark galactic netherworlds...no doubt you go there often... ;o]

[Darksheare]

Heh heh heh, maybe.

[ArGee]

I’m glad your polyps are normal.

I never said my polyps were normal. Don't be starting any nasty rumors about me.

Why should my polyps be the first normal thing about me?

They are actually aliens from an inner dimension and they hang out on my gallbladder because my spleen keeps venting and disturbing their naps.

[Tax-chick]

There’s a novel in this ...

[Monkey Face]

Whoa. Have I stepped into the Twilight Zo-an?

I'm glad to see there may be some possible monetary gain by the collusion collaboration of you two Manly Men. I mean, who doesn't want to read about alien beings from Inner Space?

I just finished the first draft of my new will. Now, I have to figure out the finer points, but I think that will have to wait until I have a chance to look over the Living Trust packet. I may have to change the wording on the will's first page. What fun this is! (If my kids only knew.)

My stomach is killing me. I just had an ulcer cocktail, but it hasn't done much to calm things down. I'm going to see if I have enough change to get some more bananas. They aren't much, but I only buy two at a time, as they go bad before I can eat them. And I usually only eat them in ulcer cocktails.

[Darksheare]

There is definitely book material in there somewhere.
The pancreas may be involved, might even be a gang!

[Monkey Face]

Wellnow. That really makes me think I’m doing something painfully normal and boring. I mean, how exciting can Wills, Codicils and Living Trusts be compared to polyps, gallbladders, spleens and pancreae?

So, ArGee, does your little foray this morning mean you sluffed work?

[Darksheare]

I’d have a joke clause in the will.
Something about deeding Rellavia to my loyal servant and advisor Dark Lord Nograth upon my untimely end.
Just to mess with people.

[Monkey Face]

The people I would be messing with would have no clue and then my “sound mind” would come into question, for sure. ;o]

[Darksheare]

That’s when you have something like a spoon engraved with “Rellavia” and a picture of someone labeled as “Dark Lord Nograth”, but have them identifiable by their proper name.

[Monkey Face]

Ah. Brilliant!

[NoCmpromiz]

no doubt you go there often...

He tells everyone that he's going to work, but we know..

[Darksheare]

Everyone is on t’me...

[Monkey Face]

Hey-y-y-y-y-y-y.....I wonder if he could do some nocturnal messing with the Coywolves in your area? Chances are good that he could put some gris-gris on them that would halt their coming to pester the felines that own you.

Or, as an ancient remedy, you could buy some few odd fathom of rope and make a Wolf Ring...
