    I would try to avoid going up to guys named Joe and asking if they're jocund. You're liable to get punched in the face.
  2. drpaladin
    From the Latin jocundus, meaning agreeable or delightful.

    Chapter 21

    drpaladin commented on Demiurge's story chapter in Chapter 21

    Dead people are harder to find. With all the info Kenji had, it was a piece of cake to surreptitiously run River's credit card charges. In the old days, it wasn't so easy. Once Judy Garland needed to find her then husband to tell him something, but didn't know where he was. She called FBI Director, J. Edgar Hoover. Hoover called back 30 minutes later and told her the city he was in, his hotel and room number, and the assumed name he was registered under. All before computers.

    Crime family adjacent. Now that's a unique way to put it. It almost makes it wholesome. This is a side we didn't see in the previous story. River is sorting himself out. It's sort of ironic the trauma twins are mega boyfriending at the same time.

    Be careful around the McFarrago clan, they are touchy about their roots.

    At least George is being distracted from losing his command and Endymion being put to sea immediately was another blessing. Even with George tied to Carmella and Calvert to Amelia, the rumors about them refuse to completely stop.

    The one fingered, dactylion salute is considered rude.

    Since we are in the Age of E, can we say the ebullient are full of E-bull?

    Were you on the up ladder or the down one? The down one had glitter.
  10. drpaladin
    From the Latin ebullient, to bubble out. Originally ebullient stuck close to its roots, being used for boiling or bubbling.

    What was the object Xavier retrieved and was it personal or of monumental import to all?
  12. drpaladin
    But not selling it.

    I wasn't aiming for the more arcane classicism. Crappoly will do nicely.
  14. drpaladin
    Could have some fun with this. Crappoly anyone?

    I enjoy how giving others advice is so easy, but figuring out your own problems? Impossible *** So true.

    There is this hilarious scene from the movie One, Two, Three with James Cagney.

    The music they played while doing this was usually Sabre Dance.

    I thought of bibliophile also. But then pole came into play. Recall those performers who juggled spinning plates on the ends of poles? I would imagine doing it with oblong books would be nigh impossible. lol

    I agree. I think calling them blooded or battle tested would be more accurate. Battle hardened implies much more experience than a single battle.

    All I need is a Sad and Angry and I'll have hit all reactions in a single post. Geez.

    It was Haley Joel who saw the dead folks, but agree on no more red eyed zombies. At least give 'em some Visine. No wonder they're so testy.

    Chapter 27 S2

    drpaladin commented on Bill W's story chapter in Chapter 27 S2

    Though transitioning into something small, letting the gator swallow him whole, and shifting to something big would have been interesting, but a bit messy. It wouldn't have passed under the radar as this did either.
  23. drpaladin
    From the Greek bibliopōlēs to the Latin bibliopola (bookseller). Where would we book fiends be without them?

    I'm glad you agree Mac is demanding respect. If you haven't noticed before, Mac's mother likes to use these public venues this way.

    You play the field you're on. It doesn't appear this little assertion of adulthood offended anyone.
