Somewhat Ironic

So…. Well, don’t look at me. I have no idea. It was like that when I found it. Well, maybe titled a little more over towards widdershins, if I’m honest. But I had to check. I mean after all, how long has it been since we had one like that? I mean that is as

When the Pipe Leaks

However…. In these situations, it is advisable not to jump to what appears to be the obvious conclusion. After all, there could be a more reasonable explanation. Obviously, as she said at the time, when you call in a plumber to deal with a water leak, he is bound to get wet. So it doess

Anti-Social Media

Dolequeue Stringdiseases is probably best known these days as the inventor of the social media site GetOutofMyFace. GetOutofMyFace is probably the least welcoming and most toxic of the social media sites. But that was Stringdiseases great insight.

Those Special Days

Once or twice… no more than that. Oh, but there was that time in the woods at the back of the paint thinner factory. She was in the mood that day. I think it had something to do with the heat, or maybe it was just because it was a Thursday – she’s always hads

A Tentative World
