That was funny but why did he have a cadence like Nick Cage?
Thanks guys, i will put something up too and we will have a nice poll for March.
Canavan and Fiona, in lieu of fencing with captcha’s I will tell you know that the theme for March is Irish/Scottish stories! Whether folklore, fear or flying frisbees please let me know what you would like for the poll!
I’m glad they are making those into movies because every time I try and read them I am presented with too many characters too quickly. Not a problem on screen.
Yes!!! *Running laps around the living room*
Canavan and I both five starred a story!!! Pull out the stamp and Noodler’s Black Ink - we have a new classic!
Ooh, I didn’t remember the gifted part. But the poison was, at least by her recollection, added by her. But I like your idea of a guilt riddled unreliable narrator and small town with dark secrets.
Great to see you here and 🍀good luck!🍀
The Nonstudent Left The Nation (September 27, 1965) ★★★☆☆ Reporting on University efforts to curtail the freedoms of nonstudents on campus. They were thought to be the instigators of mass protests. This was not the case.
Oooh, thank you Canavan!
Skinder’s Veil by Kelly Link ★★★½☆ A doctoral student housesit’s for Death. There were several stories-within-the-story. The extra half star is for Turtle story, which was not the worst story she had ever heard about marriage. Man that made me laugh!
Claw those words up!
The Brotherhood of Mutilation (2003) by Brian Evenson ★★★★☆ No! You can’t end it there! Jesus! This needs to be turned into creepy technicolor French film immediately - it would be legendary. I curled into a limb hugging ball reading this story… but I also experienced an unhealthy reminiscent rush of 1996s Crash.
Covid cases rise by 948% in Florida as Omicron drives huge wave across US Dear God Marie that is scary. I keep a rotating batch of masks in my car and wear them anytime i have to inside someplace. Most people I see around town are doing the same.
It feels good when you Finnish a tome. Like a mountain you climbed with your mind.
Thanks Fiona!
“When the Beatniks Were Social Lions” National Observer (April 20, 1964) ★★★☆☆ A wild moment, a few protests, then they moved to New York. That basically sums up the article.
The “Hashbury” Is the Capital of the Hippies The New York Times (May 14, 1967) ★★★★☆ “Unlike the dedicated radicals who emerged from the Free Speech Movement, the hippies were more interested in dropping out of society than they were in changing it.”
The political active early 60s culture of Berkeley transitioned to Free Love and drug culture in Haight-Ashbury San Francisco. The locals were not too bothered because the mass of hippies displaced the violent hoodlums that had previously been taking over the neighborhood. Greater California did not mind because the voting population sent a clear message to the rest of America by electing Ronald Reagan as Governor. What had started as a movement was now a tourist attraction on a bus to Hippieland. But Thompson points out that the drugs themselves had migrated well into proper society.
