Paul Tongclutcher Kilnfire... Tongclutcher Kilnfire,
Always was a dirty liar...
Lived his life on the high wire...

Mmm... Gimme a minute...

Amber great job! can't wait to see what happens next but am staying patient.


message 6: by Trish (new)

Trish See Sean?! This was such a perfect Monday gift that Paul has completely lost it. Proud of yourself? I bet! Now help me at least taking him home before his wife makes us both watch the Eurovision Song Contest!

Sorry, Paul...I didn't mean to blow your poor mind like that. AVERT YOUR EYES FROM THE SINGING PEOPLE ON TV!

xD
That's my motto too!

Great installment by the way - I love the dwarves. Eejit! (New favourite word.) :D


message 9: by Paul (new)

Paul It's OK. I'm watching a shark documentary. I should be safe.


message 10: by Trish (new)

Trish Oh I LOVE shark documentaries! Which one are you watching?


message 11: by Paul (new)

Paul It's just called 'Shark'. It's a BBC doc, narrated by Paul McGann. It's good but flits from topic to topic too quickly for my tastes. I'd like it to go deeper into each subject before moving on.


message 12: by Trish (new)

Trish Too bad. I'll have to try and find that documentary and watch it (don't know it yet). My favourite is still the marvellous Sir David Attenborough but BBC documentaries in general are fantastic.


message 13: by Paul (new)

Paul Oh, absolutely. You can't beat David Attenborough.


message 14: by Trish (new)

Trish Well, one can beat him, but nobody can BEAT him. ;P
I've recently seen pictures of him as a young man - so handsome and already so much into wildlife preservation! He really dedicated his entire life to it!

Nice hooter, Trish.


message 16: by Trish (new)

Trish I was waiting for Paul to say something like that but you beat him to it. ;) Well, as the German saying goes: Even a blind chicken finds a grain sometimes (I'm totally gonna make that saying a thing here). xD

Ha! I like to take the easy ones where I can.

(How does that saying actually go in German? I want to practice saying it so I can sound smart at parties.)

Trish Auch ein blindes Huhn findet mal ein Korn.


message 19: by Sean (last edited May 18, 2016 08:56AM) (new)

Sean Gibson I am so going to start saying this all the time. And probably mangle the pronunciation.


message 20: by Trish (new)

Trish Muhahahaha. We could practice. As I said, I plan on making this a thing anyway. ;P

Teach me, Obi-Wan. You're my only hope.

Maybe I'll record it and send you the audio file.

message 25: by Trish (new)

Trish Bwahahaha, I just sent it to you.


message 26: by Lolly's Library (new)

Lolly's Library Okay, dammit. I've just spent the last two and a half days trying to come up with some kind of witty and humorous compliment for this latest installment of H&G. Two and a half days to create something worthy enough for the company of other FOHAGS and...? Bupkis.

I suck.

You don't.

Trish MUHAHAHAHAHA! Bupkis?! That alone was worthy!

Aw, you've got me all verklempt! So where's my lox companion?

Have I just broken this metaphor?


message 34: by Ginger (new)

Ginger I must admit that I wondered about the lox as well.
What is a schmear of cream cheese without the lox?

There. Now it is broken ;)


message 35: by Sean (new)

Sean Gibson Would this be an awkward time to note that I don't really like cream cheese OR lox?

I'm more of a butter guy...

You don't scare me. Go ahead, do your worst. Or best.

Heh heh heh.


message 41: by Trish (new)

Trish I HATE whipped cream. Ugh. Whenever I see someone having strawberries with it, I turn into the Hulk and want to SMASHSMASHSAMSH.


message 42: by Sean (new)

Sean Gibson I don't think I've ever heard someone so vehemently against whipped cream!

What did whipped cream ever do to you, Trish??


message 43: by Ginger (new)

Ginger Lol leave it to Trish to hate whipped cream.
My kiddo hated whipped cream for a long time because he thought I was putting sour cream on his ice ream *sigh* It took forever to get him to try it again.
I do NOT know where he gets it from

Maybe he's been hanging out with Trish.


message 45: by Trish (new)

Trish What it did? Nothing, apart from tasting bad and having a weird consistency and ... yuck!

And no, Ginger's kid did not hang out with me because if he had, he would have never liked it in the first place. ;P

There need to be people who hate whipped cream. You know, in order to restore balance to the universe.

Hey Sean! Hope all is well. :) Are you going to eventually put all this together and release it as a novel?

Hi Sh3lly! That's the plan--there are going to be another 3-4 parts, and then I'll release it as a collected edition, probably just as an ebook through Amazon. It'll be novella-length at that point (maybe 140-150 pages), and I'm planning (hoping) to include art from some of the very talented folks who have been following the story, plus perhaps some bonus material (maybe an original Heloise ballad). With any luck, our tale will conclude sometime in the next couple of months, and the collected tale will be available late summer/early fall!
