I liked Rita Mae browns book on writing, although I thought she was nuts in a couple of places - like it being a must to know Greek and Latin before writing....the bookshelves would be awfully empty if that mattered one bit.You'll love it! It's funny in a lot of places - in a very dry "King" sort of way.

While mentioning the best, King's On Writing, might as well mention the worst. Story, by Robery McKee. A pompous, hateful man who purposely uses hundreds of words that just about anybody has to grab a dictionary and look up.
The one good thing about the book is the hate it will raise in your soul. You'll never knew you had it in you. It's so fricken' bad it's almost worth the read.

That's borderline "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" - with a flashlight instead of a towel as the universal... everything in an emergency.Oldest got to NYC...but before he left.... I was told not to worry..... because...he had a flashlight.....

Manuela Dunn Mascetti talks a lot about this in The Song of Eve - a history of matriarchy and female archetypes beyond maid, mother, crone. One of the common traits between the many vastly different archetypes she covers (from a whore to a celibate priestess) is the constant frustration with the "guy thing". Girls do stupid stuff too - I've done my share between the ages of 19 and 30 - but, apparently, not to that extent. The historic record of the "guy thing" is a lot more extensive.

Nah, it was an e-mail...it was Flashlight...he also called after he got there to tell me he also took a coat, snow boots and a snow shovel...... of course I told him he should probably take boots and a coat.....just glad he listened.... didn't take the Christmas tree decorations off the tree like he was supposed to before he left though......but then...he DID have a flashlight after all....
My Youngest was going around the house laughing all night yesterday waving flashlight saying...take that storm....and "what, a blizzard...good thing I have my.....FLASHLIGHT!!" I'm guessing he will be hearing about this for years to come
Months back....
We get information a couple are staying at a casino and selling meth from their room. We set up surveillance and get a search warrant and snatch them up when they come out of the room.
As we searched the room, one of our agents found a fleshlight . He picks it up not knowing what it is and puts it up to his eye, looking through it like a kaleidoscope, and asked what is this.
The male arrested said its my fleshlight. The agent asked what is a fleshlight? The guy answered it’s a pocket ***** ......agent just dropped it saying mother*****r.
We (including the arrestees) all almost fell over laughing at him.
We still laugh at him about the fleshlight kaleidoscope.

A "fleshlight"? That's a whole different kind of evening...
That description has almost convinced me to read it.

Ok, so here is what I propose... Let's keep bringing up firewood until we can block up all the doors and windows. Insulation AND it will take us a while to burn it all.
