Don't even need to say whether I'm CIA or not.
It can be unclear to the reader what an editor does. My two biggest "wins" during my career were convincing Tolkien to not include the appendix that spelled out which fantasy race corresponds to which real world people group, and making Nader focus on cars and not tricycles in Unsafe at Any Speed.

It would be fantastic to be the objectively least successful member of a musical supergroup. "The Three Wise Men", Elton John, Billy Joel and a guy who doesn't have a Wikipedia page. You can hear the crowd quiet down at the Hollywood Bowl as Elton nods to Tim(?), and he starts his verse.

"Bring ye news from the river?" the stoat asked holding his cane and hat. "Still babbling" I responded. This caused immediate unease and panic in the tavern, all creatures large and small started mumbling and making plans. I realised I was thinking of the brook, but didn't want to seem a fool.

I know norms are breaking down all around us, but you can't put "Comes across like Mango, if Chris Kattan was a less charismatic and talented performer" in a peer-to-peer feedback form. You have to at least gesture your critique is about my job, and not my "whole thing".

At a bit of standstill with the wife over her "Since we had the kids we have become no sex tourists." caption on the Bali pictures. I fully appreciate she does not want to be with a man who "controls how she communicates about motherhood", but it is really reading like we used to be sex tourists.

In all matters of business and law I am represented by the partnership, business and romantic, of Summer Heath and Autumn Moor. I dated Summer briefly in the spring of '03. She found me lacking, but firmly believes one is responsible for a stray if they take it in, and has looked after me since.

Petting the rough of my own neck with one rugged, strong hand while I say "easy, boy, easy" between bites of a carrot. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. A child might say it is unfair my horse has me pet us both, but then the horse never jumps on my back. Different strengths.

I don't deny the man's talent, he is a great performer, but all I'm asking is would he be as successful if he was a good bunny? Is there space for a proudly morally upright musical lagomorph?

They gave the guy who carried my wife and I out of our burning house two civilian medals. One for running in to save us and another for not leaving me, when as he was ripping up his shirt to make a tourniquet for my wife, and thus revealing his rippling muscles, I commented "Aura farming, respect".

Lisa told me gender is a powerful force in the world, I said that's possible but surely it is not as powerful as Q'agalia the Toad. The amphibian warlord commands a thousand spears. Lisa said gender was arguably more powerful. I hope our tribe never angers gender.

My wife has come around on calling the lady who is our purveyor for adhesives our "Bond Girl". Helena herself loves it, she has an easy smile and a quick wit. Able to make a connection with anyone, pun very much intended.

"Fuck it, we ball" an attitude that brought me success in a best of three series of Yatzy, against an appreciably skilled opponent, last night, did not deliver as strong results in making a "must make use of what I have" pasta for lunch. A meal that was considerably less than the sum of its parts.

I should have known the warlord we clandestinely supported in their coup was not serious when he demanded his personal guard be made up of exclusively hot women armed with bazookas. The guard were brave and their look was "memeable", but were a danger primarily to themselves in small spaces.

I went to one of those YouTube chiropractors and they were saying the most awful things between cracks. "Yeah we see this a lot in men who are not respected in the workplace, L5 left, OH! Good one!" or "How's, that feel? Yep that's hatred of your stepson alright, and, booyah! Loud one!"

My daughter keeps walking into the room "on live" and saying to her viewers "you might be wondering who the pasty white bozo is?" First of all she has the same, admittedly pale, skin tone as her father. Also are these all new viewers each time? How do they not know who this "bozo" is by now?

Nephew was teasing me at dinner that while his father was a baron I was only a merchant, his sister offered that this was because their papa was the first-born. But our father was only a baronet. My brother got his title the same way dinner arrived on the table, by this merchant opening his purse.

Niece called me a "Treatler" after I criticised the fact I ordered a carriage and four men-at-arms, and received a palanquin and two crossbowmen. Don't hear her offering to walk.

Two different people my godfather had met over the years had exclaimed "Damn, who's the buxom brunette!" just before they dropped dead. And while he said he was sad to go, I could tell there was some part of him a little excited to catch a glimpse at the Grim Lady's curvature.

A wee bookmark design for a local event coming up in the spring called The Cartoon Foundry. It was such a joy to paint something green. This winter has been relentless. More soon. Tally Ho!

Old sweetheart of mine moved back into town, and I misjudged it as a Hallmark film opening. Nope, it's a Nordic noir opening. She has memory lapses from drinking and is looking into the murder of our old teacher. Lots of coffee and full frontal nudity, but it's been bleak coffee and nudity.
