Stunned silence, like at the end of a great Cyrano.

"Skinny arsehole I see. Bumping around, it is. Not long it took."

:-]

Thanks, for all of it, Duke.

heh, thanks Bennet. god, this is very long-winded.

Yeah, you really let the fingers fly, hell, they damn near migrated south!

Did you catch my post on Simple Tasteful Nudes? I ask because, even in your abruptly single state of mind, a bit more torture won't kill you.

A gal they had up three days ago damn near broke my heart, so pretty she was.

Enjoy!

Duker, a novel in "review" form, a walk through our very civilization at the near-beginning of the 21st century; a series of guffaws, chortles, belly-laughs, and snickers, interspersed a with slight welling of moisture in empathy with the profound sadness and death-grief without the satisfaction of death to support it.

I swear to God you will get over this woman, and she never appreciated you anyway.

I think I WILL go see the flick this weekend.

EO, thank you. I'm glad you dug it. I was a bit unsure about posting it to be honest, it is really very long-winded and self-absorbed.

And you MUST go see it this weekend. Society would stand for nothing less, i'd wager.

And Bennett, i can scarsely thank you enough for alerting me to said post. Excellently written, it was, too. And obviously welcome in these trying times...

i will balance out society by not seeing this movie this weekend.

or ever.


oh, and duke, we count on you to be long-winded and self-absorbed.

My lord, Duke, the length. The Length!

I've had sex in less time than it took me to read that.

I've read Tolstoy in less time.

Ok, so there were a good number of chuckles, a lot of big smiles, and a couple of hearty guffaws too.

Truth be known I just skimmed the cliff notes on Tolstoy. And I've had sex in less time than it takes to read a haiku.

Duke, I've been holding off on reading this sure masterpiece as I've not yet seen the latest S Wars. I actually sat through the entirety of Attack of the Clones on network TV, no less, in prep... but it looks like it will be at least several days.

Anyway, just glancing through the comments makes me want to see the damned thing so I can get to the main course right here at the old BC stomping grounds...
