My sister called me earlier today and we had a big ol’ laugh fest. My mother used to say that no one could make her laugh like Debby, and it’s true for me, too. Other than that, as Granny used to say, “I’m feeling punk.” My spirit is fine, but my body has suggested that I might want to set up my laptop in the ladies’ room and stay there, ifyouknowwhatimean.
SO… Anyone who can give me a happy ending to the tableau below, with props from The Brides, can get something handpicked by me from this book for their happiness. If you are not a storytelling person, i.e., not a Southerner, then feel free to comment with a page number between 1 and 611, and another number between 1 and 25, and I’ll look up your happy thing for you as soon as I get back from the bathroom. 😉
A “Happy Ending” for Turk The-Viking-Hunter guarantees that He shall be wearing the very latest in fashion in the Sabre-Toothed-Tiger line direct from a cave near you.
A “Happy Ending” for the Sabre-Toothed Tiger guarantees him a tasty morsel that is obtained without much fuss – and also grants him the fur-fibers needed to floss all of the teeth in His Sabre-toothy goodness.
So his second happy ending means that he doesn’t have to go to see the dentist.
😉
Which is good – because in that version of the story –
He just ate the only dentist around those parts.
😀
LOL! You made me laugh, so for you, I choose:
“Brazilian coffee” or “garden gnomes.” Your pick. Or I supposed you could mix it up for some Brazilian gnomes.
*grins*
I’m glad…
Thank-you for my Hump Day Happies!!
🙂
I hope that you’ll feel better, soon.
*hugs*
(If I mix things up, again – I could have Caffeinated (and hyper) Brazilian gnomes and they could help me clean my house which affords ME with a “Happy Ending”)
win/win.
*grins*
Sold! When they’re finished there, may I borrow them?
You most certainly may!!
😀
Thanks!
“Fine, fine! No more dry kibble!”
(99:13 please)
Giggle. Don’t trust me, huh? Wise man. From the book:
“steaks sprinkled with fresh parsley”
Hmmm, are you still vegetarian? If so, they are tofu and black bean steaks.
We gave up on vegetarianism, much like Sabre-Tooth Better-Than-A-Dog up there.
LOL. I’ve found that keeping even a few meals a week meat-free has health advantages. I don’t know that we could ever go all vegetarian at The Compound, but one day I may try it. And then you may see photos of Tom looking like the dude in the photo above.
We eat vegetarian at home, for the most part, but gave up on being vegetarians because eating out became very boring.
Gee, will I have the salad, or the nachos… Hrm.
Of course, as I slowly learn to
toleratehandle hot spices, the options re-open.Murduk The Macho edged around the titanic tome to come face to face with the the fiercest saber-toothed tiger he had ever seen. With venom dripping from his razor-sharp sabered teeth the S.T.T. said, “Kiss me, Murduk, for I am a handsome prince who has been cast into this form by the curse of an evil soothsayer.”
“Say what‽” Murduk exclaimed quizzically‽
“I said if you kiss me, I’ll turn back into a handsome prince and we can run behind yonder titanic tome and have mad, passionate prehistoric sex together.”
“I don’t know,” Murduk said, “kissing with an overbite like yours could be pretty dangerous.”
“Come on, man, I won’t bite,” mewed the tiger with a somewhat sly wink of his eye.
So Murduk moved forward and kissed the tiger who promptly turned into the promised prince.
Unfortunately, he was still cursed with razor-sharp sabered teeth and lacking a prehistoric orthodontist sex was kind of risky at best, but they did live happily ever after. And Murduk set a gay precedent by becoming the first caveman with a tongue stud, tit rings and a Prince Albert.
The End
I could have done without the piercings, but otherwise, a mostly happy ending. So for you from the book:
“listening to music so beautiful that it makes you cry”
M. Butterfly and I did cry. So for you and edited ending.
And Murduk set a gay precedent by becoming the first caveman
with a tongue stud, tit rings and a Prince Albertin a same sex marriage in what would eventually become the state of Texas.I like that one!
Hmmm. Actually looks like me and Satan’s Kitty:
ME: Stop howling! I don’t know why Paul is late getting home!
SK: Mrowr!
ME: It’s not my fault!
SK: MROWR!
ME: Oh, you just wanted me to turn the faucet on. Sorry.
See? Dogs just don’t provide this type of
demanding petulancerich character!Give it up, ‘Nathan. I’m pretty sure Dan will think the only thing more adorable than you feeding a baby is you spooning a dog while you nap.
There you go, maligning that angelic kitty again. Nonetheless, from the book, I give you:
“a street full of bookstores and galleries”
and all the bookstores have copies of your novels in the windows.
Hunter jumps on sabre-tooth who gives him a ride to the nearest bathroom.
(I’d be happy if you gave me one of Mark’s waffle happinesses….Bwaahahahahaha!)
I’m not even going to examine the wisdom of equating a happy ending with a trip to the bathroom. And though I will NOT give you any waffley goodness from Mark’s famous and so far unrewarding Page 25, I will give you, from page 208:
“malted milk waffles and pancakes”
hey!
I didn’t give her YOUR waffles. I gave her some other waffles.
And those waffles were really good, Mark!
I’m so not a story teller, so I’ll go for 101 5 please. Feel better soon!
Thank you! And from the book:
“Gray’s Anatomy, unabridged 1901 edition”
(It’s almost like the book knows your professional goals!)
Haha, I love it. 🙂
So there I was, just walking in the jungle, when one of those filthy humans jumped out at me. You know the type, one of those Conan types decked out in his Uggs and Forever 21 Sale skirt, carrying an axe talking about battle, like we were in some Barbarian flick starring that dude with the Austrian accent. Anyway, I was all “Dude, do we really have to do this?”
Do you know what he said to me? BRING IT. That’s right he said BRING IT, to me the King of Bring! So I brought it. Enjoy your Barbarian Burger.
Brought to you from the writing Team of Marika and Dash the sabretooth Terrier.
I would like number 532 number 24 Dash would like 131 number 14
Oh, there are so many elements in this story that I love. So not only will I give you the numbers you’ve asked for, I will provide choices of my own.
Dash’s numbers:
“heirloom family pictures on a handsome doily”
(It’s Granny Dash again!)
Your numbers:
“countermelody”
My picks: For Dash, I pick “dog dishes that say ‘Good Dog,'” and for you, I pick “frying a steak in bacon drippings.”
Just as the sabertooth tiger lunged, the caveman swung his ax striking a clean cut right down the chest. A new sabertooth tiger pelt for Helga guarenteed him a happy ending that night.
But a different kind of warm and fuzzy ending for the tiger, poor thing. Still, you deserve happiness, so I pick from the book:
“contributing something uniquely yours to the world,”
and as a bonus, “the day when you met your best friend.”
Aww thanks… it’s coming up on 9 years in June that we met in person.
in person.
At first I read that as “in prison.”
That’s a whole different memory.
LOL!!Fortunately, no. We met online in April but not face to face until June 8, 2001.
I’m surprised nobody went with “The New First Cat” from days of yore.
Tom
There was a guy and a cat. The cat was big. There was a fight. The Savage’s adopted the cat. Douglas wrote a song about it.
Story telling as only I can do it.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha. I should have known. You definitely earned some happiness with that one. From the book:
“mushrooms stuffed with spinach, capers, and cheese”
KIDDING! Actually:
“beachfront vacations”
🙂
