You're welcome, Guy! I'l definitely read up 'Wong' this weekend. It'll probably be the first story that I'l be reading from a new laptop. Doing some research now, on which one to buy! But not gonna sell the old fellow. Too attached to him, I guess. :)

Mad, I say! Mad!Thanks, Guy and Ajay!
Ajay: Sorry, Frank. I cannot help here. Yes, we are pirates. But we do not start a mutiny against our own captain. Frank: Who are you, exactly?
Ajay: My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.
Frank: What? Are you kidding me?
Ajay: Oops, wrong dialogue. Sorry, Frank. Probably not a good time to talk now. See ya around. Scrambles about the deck. It's full moon again, damn. I need to lock myself up.
Excellent, Ajay. It brought a huge smile to my face.

Sara: So did you.
Nikara: Pregnancy ads? Am I reading this right?"
Kyra! You slid in so quietly, almost didn't see you. Welcome back!
Not much. I was supposed to dust and vacuum. I got out one of those painter’s masks to wear while I dusted, but I never got to the dusting part.
Haha. Actually, I agree with Frank! It's good to be nuts I guess. Gives us the license to wreck havoc! Lol :)
Hello Ajay and Al. Speaking of havoc and being nuts, I am getting ready to teach my class. Reviewing the material so I can pretend to know what I'm talking about.Al, hope the exams went well.
I'll catch up tomorrow.
Hello Guy. Have fun at class! See ya tomorrow. Cheers to that, Alex.
Yes, it was lovely. 3/4 people let me take their picture, so I'll put them up on my Economics Demystified web page at some point. After class last night I got started on some popcorn in response to M,'s but didn't get it done before my eyes wouldn't stay open. Now, not sure when I'll get it done.
You did well on our exams?
Huge! As usual. But it's not likely to get done until the weekend. Actually, I have two on the go because of you! The bank muse has got me doing some serious musing, too. LoL. So many words, so little time.Al, a 'C' in stats sounds fine to me. Enough to let you know enough of something you are very unlikely to use.
After his conversation with Frank, Ajay receded to his 'lair', the lower-most part of the ship and chained himself. Contents of the room
1.A broken mirror (what a cliche). But a logistic requirement.
2.Chained Ajay
3.A monster
4.A small, round window.
Later that night
The clouds kept shying away from each other and the moon kept peeping into the pirate ship below.
Popcorn
Ajay: Man, I'm so hungry. Why the hell did I chain myself? Momentarily looks at himself in the broken mirror. What the..? Who the hell are you?
Monster: Aarghhh..
Ajay: Sorry, say that again.
Monster: Marghhh..
Ajay: Really? That's very helpful.
Monster: Coughs I'm you, you piece of 'you'.
Ajay: Nice. What a ground-breaking line.
Monster: Barghhh..targhh..plarghh..
Ajay: Keep going please, beautiful alliteration.
Monster: Coughs Just try and come closer, I'l rip you apart.
Ajay: Save it, you awful looking monster. Can't you see, we both are chained.
Monster: I don't care. I'l break the chain. Then I'l break you.
Ajay: Hahaha. Who do you think you are? Frankenstein's monster?
Monster: No. I am 'your' monster. Don't you get it, it's full moon day.
Ajay: Well, well, well. Hell is empty and all the devils are here!
Monster: Did you just make that up?
Ajay: No, you piece of crap. Someone famous said that. How would you know that? Lol.
Monster: Don't call me 'crap'. I ain't no crap. Give me a name.
Ajay: Alright. Let's see. How about 'Psycho'?
Monster: Who do you think you are, Hitchcock? BOL Barks out loud
Ajay: YOU! Did you just mock me?
Monster: BOL
Ajay: Stop it, alright. Let's start over again.
Monster: Vokay. Give me a name.
Ajay: Okay. I'm gonna call you, 'Moonay'. 'Moon' from 'Moon' and 'ay', the last two letters of my name. What say?
Moonay: Hmm..BOL. Vokay. I like it.
Ajay: I don't care. Whatever.
Moonay: You don't like me, do you?
Ajay: Lol. Look at yourself in the mirror! No one could like you.
Moonay: Silence
Ajay: Lol. What? Are you..? Ok, ok. I'm sorry. I am not a prick. Well, not always.
Moonay: It's alright.
Ajay: Cheer up, Moonay.
Moonay: Vokay.
Ajay: Do you have any special powers or something! asks this question with a feverish glee in his eyes
Moonay: Yes. I do have one.
Ajay: Oh yeah! What is it?
Moonay: I can eat a lot.
Ajay: You piece of 'me'. That's not a special power. It's at the least, a medical condition.
Moonay: Vokay. Sorry. I'l tell you the truth. I have the ability to 'climb'.
Ajay: Climb? What, a ladder or something?
Moonay: Not only a ladder. But just about anything. Like mountains and all.
Ajay: Ok. That's convenient. What are we gonna do with 'that' on a sailing ship, you piece of 'me'?
Moonay: I don't know. You are the one that writes, right? Make up something.
Ajay: Okay. I'l think of something. So it's all cool, right? Between us. If and when this chain comes apart?
Moonay: I don't know. That's a hypothetical question.
Ajay: Don't! Just, don't even say anything at all. This is the W.S.S. A lot of interesting folks are out there. Don't go around and spoil my name, will you?
Moonay: Vokay. I promise 'not' to eat anyone.
Ajay: Wow. That's reassuring. Thank you, that's a start.
Moonay: Vokay.
Might be continued
Hahah. Thank you, Alex! I'm glad that you're laughing. :)
Ajay, that was great! Here’s my pale reply.Mouse #1: I hope this was a good idea, Earl. What if we never get back?
Mouse #3: We don’t go back, we don’t get eaten.
Mouse #2: Ralph isn’t going to eat us--at least, as long as we keep using dandruff shampoo. Anyway, I don’t like the idea of being out in a rowboat.
Mouse #1: Anybody know where are we going?
Mouse #6: I heard the guy who’s rowing say they were going to the tavern on the island.
Mouse #9: What are we going to get eaten by, Earl?
Mouse #3: Loretta saw him. Narvis told me about it. Said she left a trail of turds clear back to our hideout behind in the kitchen cabinet.
Mouse #1: Holy cats!
Mouse #6: What was it?
Mouse #3: A werewolf.
Mouse #1: (Incredulously.) A werewolf?
Mouse #6: (Snorts.) Narvis’s wife is scared of her own shadow.
Mouse #3: She wasn’t the only one who saw it, Malcolm. Ray saw it.
Mouse #2: Aah. He stays drunk on rum all the time.
Mouse #3: Rita said he was a sight after he saw that werewolf. He come busting out the hole, wide-eyed and plastered with turds.
Mouse #6: What was he doing, this werewolf?
Mouse #3: (Shrugs.) Loretta says he was chained up.
Mouse #9: (Nervously.) Anybody notice there’s a full moon tonight?
Mouse #3: Anybody notice I’m in a rowboat, headed for an island?
Excellent, M and Alex! Loved it! Thank you, M!
Nice continuations, Al and M :D Ajay, that was hilarious!
That was funny, Alex! Indeed! :) Enjoyed this. Is there a starting point, for me to know more about these new characters. From scratch? I haven't read about them I guess.
I can't stop lauging!! *Laughing.....sheesh.
Buttoles XD OhMyGoshThat'sHilarious! XD
HAHAHAHAHAH! Okay, I'm done laughing now. *wince*
On October 15, 2010, when I ventured to make my first post on this thread, I remember thinking, “Good lord! This thread’s five pages long!”
Aw, our little baby is growing up XD
But, this thread is a highly naughty baby! :) May be that's why we all love it.
Alex (Al) wrote: "I accidentally typed in "buttoles" instead of "bottles" in the above post. Ahahaha, I can't stop laughing."DID I JUST READ THAT! Ajay blinks, drinks and sinks away
HAHA Well, of course, it's an impressionable little thing XD
Lol. A perfectly healthy, naughty baby. Manufactured by the most volatile couple in the history of mankind. :)I'm alright, Alex. Tough day at work. How are you today? I hope the pain has eased up.
Oh, dearie me, I can't stop laughing, Ajay!
Me too, Kat! I can't believe I actually posted that!It's all due to Moonay and his effect on me :(
:) Good! Stay happy and the migraine will run for cover. And danke, Alex! Goodnight!
