Erm.

I thought you didn't like the Marx Bros? ;-)

[Kath]

I don't like their films. I remember a one-off or two.
What a memory you have!

Not really, but I can spot a Marx Bros. quote from a long way away! Particularly as that's from one of my favourite bits of cross-talk.

I didn't want to overload mine with info. It's an ad for the book, and the book is itself an advert for the group.

[Patti (baconater)]

The boobs help too. ;)

I bought them with my takings from
Lipstick and Knickers!

Rosen!!!,!!

That Oak Tree thingy is AWESOME!!!

You are so creative and talented. :)

[Patti (baconater)]

I need to write a boob book...

[Rosen]

Pompomberry House is my tummy-tuck book.

[Patti (baconater)]

I'd need pleats.

[Kath]

Awesome - AND it doesn't obscure her good bits!

[Kath]

I want liposuction. (That IS where somebody sucks you with their lips, isn't it?)

Oh, I feel a bit funny!

[M.T.]

Actually, mine's about santa... I don't think I could afford any art work for a freebie.

Cheers

[Rosen]

No no no, you don't pay for artwork. That takes the fun out of it. You need to find yourself a red suit, a camera with auto timer and a lot of patience. ;-)

Ignite, do you have a list of memorable quotes from the book?

[M.T.]

Mwa ha ha hahrgh! Have you seen what I look like?

[Rosen]

Surely there's no physical atrocity that can't be made charming with a Santa suit.

I did have, but I've forgotten them! Ha!

My very favourite is

"The Troll was well over seven feet tall, and smelled of body odour and Germolene."

I can soon come out with a selection.

[M.T.]

Ignite, That is one hell of a quote. Sounds like this might be quite amusing anthology.

Rosen... you know what they say, you can't polish a turd! ;-)

Cheers

MTM

[Rosen]

There will be trolls? Oh my! That's a great quote!
Maybe we could start firing quotes all over social networks? I'm going to tweet that one right away.

[Andrew]

Crikey - people are paying for cosmetic surgery through book profits? I think I could just about afford a discounted workout DVD and a comedy plastic bosom from mine!

Tweeting of soundbite quotes sounds like a good plan to me. I only have 178 followers or something, but there's some big names among them.

I may or may not have been lying.

[Andrew]

Fair enough, but I may or may not get drunk this evening, borrow something strappy from my girlfriend, and produce a dragged-up parody :)

[Kath]

She DOES write fiction Andrew! ;)

[Andrew]

I know, but I so wanted to get that workout DVD gag in there ;)

[Tim]

Ignite wrote: "She DOES write fiction Andrew! ;)"

Even on here, it seems ;)

[Rosen]

It's not a lie if it's funny.

[Kath]

That's like, it's got no calories if you nicked it from someone else's plate!

[Rosen]

Yes, just like that.

[Tim]

Rosen wrote: "It's not a lie if it's funny."

It's not food if it's broken...

[Rosen]

It's not a cookie if the dough is raw.

[Andrew]

It's not alcoholism if you're drinking real ale, vintage wine, and single malt whisky.

[Kath]

If you eat standing up the calories drain out.

[Andrew]

If you eat it twice as fast, then it's half as bad for you.

[Tim]

If you drink red wine with it, it's only half the calories.

[Rosen]

Wine only turns to alcohol if you let it sit.

[Kath]

We ARE a lying bunch of toads, aren't we? ;)

[Rosen]

Noooo... ;-)

[Kath]

Now see, that was another one!

[Darren]

I've got a lying bunch of toads out here all complaining about being maligned.

[Kath]

What are they lying on?

[Tim]

Toadstools.

[Jud]

Tim A wrote: "Toadstools."

No, 'schrooms'

[Patti (baconater)]

You're all puddled.

[Kath]

I could sort some more quotes out later - or alternatively you could givre your favourite quote from your own story?

[Andrew]

I think my first line is probably the most quotable, I wanted a strong hook.

[Cornelius]

Ignite wrote: "I could sort some more quotes out later - or alternatively you could givre your favourite quote from your own story?"

I'll go with: "and".

[Kath]

It certainly was a good first line Andrew.

Cornelius, you do a very good 'if' too. I've quoted it many times.

[Rosen]

What was Andrew's first line?

[Cornelius]

Well now I'm just torn between the two of them.
