In D&D, if the cat jumps on the table and knocks over the minis, it's instant TPK.  

 

Sasha Distan wrote an incest story for an anthology a few years ago, even. If they'll feature it in an anthology there is literally no reason why they wouldn't let writers post it.

Thanks for the information, everyone.

Not got a lot planned for the day. Have some home made bread dough rising at the moment.

Hey, Marty.     IDK if you like graphic novels/comics, but here's one I think everyone will enjoy:  https://thefandom.net/book-review-bloom-by-kevin-panetta-and-illustrated-by-savanna-ganucheau/

 

There's a very good sourdough bread recipe included at the back of the book, if you can get a copy.

Seriously, I just rented this book from the library last week, and I'm already reading it again. It was very sweet and cute.

I think he looks more worried than sad.

Hmmm, that might explain his consternation.

That sounds a lot more biblical than the expression I learnt: raining cats and dogs....

Well Marty we have many Dog and Cat lovers so I changed it

The rain's stopped now, and the sun has actually managed to push its face through some breaks in the clouds. Who knows, if it stays like this I may even get that sunset photograph I had hoped for last Saturday...

 

Well that was a bit of a waste of an evening.  

 

There was absolutely no light in the sky to chase with my camera at sunset...

 

Ah well, at least deciding to go and chase after some got me out of the house for an hour or so.

Now that reminds me of a story.....

 

There was this guy who owned a pre World War II Datsun car. One day it broke down when he was out for a drive. Being a bit of an amateur mechanic, he had it towed home where he proceeded to strip down the engine and try to fix it himself. Finding nothing wrong with the engine he moved on to check the gearbox and found several broken cogs. 

 

Checking online, he found that Datsun no longer made the type of gearbox that was in his car, nor was he able to find a second-hand one for a car that old. Taking the bull by the horns, so to speak, he emailed Datsun's head office in Japan asking for help. They informed him that they had just the cogs that he needed, and could fly them out to him if he wished. He decided, just to be on the safe side, to not just order the broken cogs, but also a complete set of all the cogs that were in the original gearbox. He also chartered a small plane and pilot, because he wanted the parts as soon as possible, as he was anxious to get his pride and joy back on the road again in time to enter it in a vintage car rally that was coming up shortly.

 

Datsun crated up his order and put them aboard the chartered plane. As the plane was crossing the Sahara Desert it developed engine problems and started losing altitude. The pilot realised that the only way he would reach the nearest airport a hundred miles away would be to jettison his cargo. He dragged the crate containing the cogs to the emergency hatch, opened the hatch, and tipped up the crate, so allowing the cogs drop out though the hatch.

 

On the ground below a camel caravan was trekking across the desert, each camel being tied to the one behind it with a length of rope. The owner of the caravan was sitting on the camel at the front, and his son was on the ground leading it forward using a rope that was tied to its halter. The man was leaning back so that he was looking up into the sky.  The small plane was so high that the man didn't notice it, but he did become fascinated by the light of the sun reflecting off the shiny new cogs that were falling from the sky. At first he couldn't work out what he was seeing and wondered if these points of spinning lights might portend some miracle or disaster being sent down by the Almighty. But as the spinning lights got closer he finally realised just what they were.

 

Leaning down slightly, he called out to his son:

 

"Look, Nazif! It's raining Datsun cogs!"
