I'm claiming the brilliant wit, Warren, you can be the comedic snark ;)

Chrys wrote: "*only* a sombrero?"

Well it does have a very broad brim...

Oh, wait, this is not an 18+ group - of course not only a sombrero, perish the thought!

*offers Chrys a marshmallow*

*offers Chrys a wide-brimmed pink sombrero instead*

Then, with my spare hand, I gladly accept your marshmallow!

I'm a woman. I need a hand to hold onto the sombrero. I guess a man might have other ways of keeping a sombrero in place.

Maybe this is an 18+ group after all! *blushes as pink as the sombrero* ;)

I don't know what you were thinking, but I was reflecting on the fact that many men have rather knobbly knees...

Uh - yes.. yes, of course. I knew that was what you meant. Yes. Honest. I did.......


message 61: by Chrys (new)

Chrys Cymri | 441 comments Mod
So you blushed because of some obsession with knees?


message 62: by Rafael (new)

Rafael (rafaelnyc) | 115 comments Sheesh :-\

Another man-test I fail. I'm not sufficiently dexterous to have my knobbly knees hold a sombrero in place.


message 63: by Chrys (new)

Chrys Cymri | 441 comments Mod
Hmm, I might have to ask for video evidence.

My darkest secret is out!

Rafael wrote: "I'm not sufficiently dexterous to have my knobbly knees hold a sombrero in place."

Do you have a pen? I saw a picture once where this guy is pretty much naked aside a sombrero and his pen is holding it up! Amazing!

Um Mod? Have I gone too far this time? Ooops - I am a mod.... I might have just got fired :(

Chrys Cymri | 441 comments Mod
I must try out the pen trick. That would free up two hands for accepting marshmallows!


message 66: by Rafael (new)

Rafael (rafaelnyc) | 115 comments lmao Video ??!! With a pen ?!?! Sorry guys.

It's one thing to claim awkward clumsiness. Quite another to leave no doubt !!

Now wait a minute - I'm not parting with two marshmallows! One was enough. I need the rest!


Rafael wrote: "It's one thing to claim awkward clumsiness. Quite another to leave no doubt !!"

Have you ever tried speaking Klingon with a mouth stuffed full of marshmallows?


message 68: by Chrys (new)

Chrys Cymri | 441 comments Mod
Yes, to practice your Klingon, obviously.


message 69: by Rafael (new)

Rafael (rafaelnyc) | 115 comments EM, I have no doubt your language skills are exceeded only by your sweet tooth. :-D


message 70: by Rafael (new)

Rafael (rafaelnyc) | 115 comments And where's Warren ?!?!

Hoarding marshmallows in yon dungeon, I suspect.

I am glad you both understand and appreciate that point - now where was I?

Rafael (rafaelnyc) | 115 comments Hahahahaha !!!

Do you think we'll get in trouble for this ?? It feels so subversive to hijack a perfectly respectable review group for laughs and giggles ??


message 73: by Chrys (new)

Chrys Cymri | 441 comments Mod
My dear, language, please. Some people love their targs.


message 74: by Chrys (new)

Chrys Cymri | 441 comments Mod
Rafael, it was clean until that unfortunate comment about targs.

What is 25 off-topic posts between friends?

*hides the posts under giant pink sombrero so Warren won't see them*

Rafael (rafaelnyc) | 115 comments "...it was clean until that unfortunate comment about targs."

Is it because I'm American? I have no idea what targs are but I can't stop laughing !!


message 77: by Rafael (new)

Rafael (rafaelnyc) | 115 comments Here across the pond, we just celebrated what is arguably the most beloved American holiday, Thanksgiving. Any Roman would blush to see the amount of food we stuff ourselves with in order to give thanks for our blessings.

Thank you, EM and Chrys. I have to leave now but you two have provided a most enjoyable start to my day.

You are both indeed blessings. :-)

When you're back, Rafael, here's your education about targs:

http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Targ

I have been unable to discover as to whether they ever wear sombreros, pink or otherwise.


message 79: by Warren (new)

Warren Dean | 321 comments As punishment for this digression, E.M.'s YouTube reviews must now be delivered from the back of a Targ maddened by being pelted with marshmallows!


message 80: by Chrys (new)

Chrys Cymri | 441 comments Mod
But which of them will wear the sombrero?


message 81: by Warren (new)

Warren Dean | 321 comments And will it need to be stuck on with marshmallows?


message 82: by Chrys (new)

Chrys Cymri | 441 comments Mod
Depends which of them is wearing it. Targs have spines.


message 83: by Robert (new)

Robert Parker | 12 comments Have read and submitted reviews for Augment and Penny White: The Temptation of Dragons.

Review links were sent direct to the authors.


message 84: by Warren (new)

Warren Dean | 321 comments Thanks, Robert. Nice to hear from a "normal" member of the group!

Please would you post the links here too. I need to tick them off, and it is nice for the rest of the group to read them as they go up.

While you guys have been having this conversation, we’ve been doing some actual, y’know, reviewing.

Warren Dean | 321 comments Thanks for getting us back on track, Alex. I will get after those pink sombrero wearing miscreants now!


message 89: by Rafael (new)

Rafael (rafaelnyc) | 115 comments Could you hold off a bit, Warren? Right now we're doing some actual, you know, miscreanting.

Some good pointers to take on board.

Much appreciated

E.M. Swift-Hook | 3487 comments Thank you for the chance to read them - I enjoyed both books!
