  1. The "wow" was for ... well ... WOW! A word I had seen in writing but never heard spoken, and had envisioned an almost inverse definition for because I would have associated it with things like "vitality". I doubt that I would ever use it unless I was desperate to finish off a rhyming couplet. And I LOVE alliteration. Yeah! All those nice sibilant "s" sounds make a sex scene sing with sybaritic satisfaction.

    That was a rather ... ummm ... exciting mating scene. You do very well with the erotic descriptions. 🍆 I'm enjoying the continuing and increasing theme of inclusiveness and compassion, even in the face of internal resistance. The complaints of the councilman sound so familiar.
  3. Only temporarily, but I think it aggravated later behavior. 😈
  4. I'm becoming concerned about your BS filter ... 😉
  5. Good morning, and thanks much for those. Now I can justify all the swearing I do. Too bad I can't share them with my mother. The designated punishment for cursing was having one's mouth washed out with soap, a regular event in my childhood, even when the only words in my swearing vocabulary were "jobbie, wee-wee, toilet!" I think you can guess the first given the more-common second one. I'll pass those links on to a few fellow foul-mouths.
  6. Likewise, and likewise. What would I do without the Urban Dictionary?
  7. Perhaps both would be improved by the strategic application of a glass of wine ...
  8. Oh, my! The opportunity here for inappropriate comments are endless. But I'll refrain...

    The Long Walk

    Different. An interesting transition in twelve lines. Not what one expects, to be sure.

    Nicely done! (he says through his tears).
  11. GROAN George ran over a nun CNVNT
  12. off color
  13. There's another perspective on this. Perhaps you were doing your co-workers a favor. I'm going into old-fart mode now, so bear with me. Remember when you commented that the members of the household weren't interested in your home cooking? I didn't comment at the time, but my thought was that they were probably too used to eating worthless crap like Crispy Cremes to appreciate what you produced. Eh?
  14. Glad to hear I'm not alone in that regard.
  15. Do you mean to say that's not toothpaste on the mirror?
  16. I bet it feels weird. Were it I, my self-preservation warning system would be screaming, "Run! Run! Run!". However, as the least likely person here to start an "Ann Landers" column (how outdated is that?), I would only observe that your parenthetical comment is likely your own advice to yourself.

    Chapter 26

    I always get emotional when I read this story, and I don't understand why. I think it is largely your writing skill; the detail puts me so much into the picture that the story becomes more real than reality. One thing I noted here: With as many characters as you present, writing in first person simply would not work. I've noticed that with each character addition, it becomes more difficult, and not in a linear fashion either. I think it's more exponential.
  18. Aha! The penalty for the raise and bonus rears its ugly head.
  19. Naps are my salvation. Good morning.
  20. Good one. My first thought, and repartee for the day, is that a return to Calvin Coolidge would be refreshing.
