Toasters don't fit into a plot that looks like it may involve Nazi treasure troves. Not much. If I find a real Nazi I will involve him in a suspicious toaster incident.
I have decided that I want to write a thriller that is better than the ones you're likely to pull off a shelf at B&N. Do you think that's possible?
Your nazi is neurotic and likes his toast just so. But Big'ol tells me that toast isn't a common food in Germany. So hmmm...
Yes, I think it is possible to write a better thriller than you find at B&N.
In fact, I read one so bad that it inspired me to do better. If Matthew Reilley (sp?) can get published, I sure can.
But the Nazis were on the cutting edge of toaster technology. Fortunately for the West, top German toaster technicians and scientists brought their prototype V2 toaster with them as they fled the Soviet invasion.
Yay! Inspiration!
I am tired of trying to write novels with meaning or whatever. SF is my True Love, but it's hard. I want mindless action, silly dialogue, unbelievable plot and no moral, thanks. Besides my kind of SF went out in the 50s so if I want swashbuckly action it's got to be a thriller.
I'm looking forward to it. Just requested a couple books on Nazi art pillaging through the library, heh heh heh.
I don't think I want to be that silly...
*Pout*
It's not as silly as joke warfare.
"Was ist das nunstuck git und stottermeyer? Ya! Beyerhund das oder, die spelterwalt gersput!"
No, but I'm not Monty Python either...
Bwahahahaha.....thunk!
You bested the 4-minute meeting.
That joke killed the thread.
I don't get it.

Somebody wrote a story about someone studying the phenomenon of the "earworm", and discovered the precise series of notes that would overload every listener's brain and reduce them to catatonia...one man went and shut the tape machine off before it could affect too many people...he was tone-deaf. Sound familiar?
Aha! It was sarcasm!
Ooops. ;~D
< suspicious > Was *that* sarcasm? < /suspicious >
Heard him. I especially loved the eloquent publik skool teacher "But we neeeeeed more money, we have to take everybody..." (Don't forget to vote. You do live in Johnson County, don't ya?) LSA
Sorta kinda... hmm, let me poke around a little and see what I can find.
