Matt’s comments from the fiction files redux group.

can I go around managing the snark levels?

yes to battle of evermore with the ringwraiths and what not and dont forget misty mountain hop but none of that rocks as much as 4 sticks and why was that my least fav cut o so long ago? no idea

Im Matt - I have issues. I used to be an angry young man but now Im not particularly either. Books make things better. That is all.

Well Frank settled down in the Valley
and hung his wild years
on a nail that he drove through
his wife's forehead
he sold used office furniture
out there on San Fernando Road
and assumed a $30,000 loan
at 15 1/4 % and put down payment
on a little two bedroom place
his wife was a spent piece of used jet trash
made good bloody marys
kept her mouth shut most of the time
had a little Chihuahua named Carlos
that had some kind of skin disease
and was totally blind. They had a
thoroughly modern kitchen
self-cleaning oven (the whole bit)
Frank drove a little sedan
they were so happy

One night Frank was on his way home
from work, stopped at the liquor store,
picked up a couple Mickey's Big Mouths
drank 'em in the car on his way
to the Shell station, he got a gallon of
gas in a can, drove home, doused
everything in the house, torched it,
parked across the street, laughing,
watching it burn, all Halloween
orange and chimney red then
Frank put on a top forty station
got on the Hollywood Freeway
headed north
Never could stand that dog

I think we should be prepared to be divisive and occasionally snarky - I know the herd can get a little flustered around that kind of energy but I think one of the worst things that happened to the files was losing Scott and the rumbles that he would occasionally get into with people

Hi guys Im still lurking around the dark edges of the group - just not much for posting these days for various reasons - carry on, Im with you in spirit
