Working a day job. What a terrible waste of talent.

Forsooth M'Lady, if I offer my honor, will you honor my offer? For should your fancy be tickled by such thought..
....then I humbly propose to honor, offer, honor, offer, honer, offer, till the cock crows hoarse.

I think part of what is great about SG's tales here is that she's found enough Cellar subtext to actually make an enjoyable pair of stories.

Bruce always found that mysterious strangers became much less so once they’d introduced themselves.
That line in particular I loved.

Was the pigeon remotely controlled by the Chinese? And was it tasty?

Yes, and they just keep coming. What a dangerous foe, she would be. No wonder England hasn't been invaded.

btw...I sent these stories to my brother. He replied, " She's got you pegged". I'm not sure if I'm insulted or not?

Nice one - sorry, nice TWO, Sundae - and absolutely nothing lukewarm about the reception you've deservedly received - both went down well with my warm watered down beer. Encore...encore...

Are you trying to tell us something about Jesus?

In Jesus time they did.
The codpiece came about with pants, and served as the fly.
The last guy I saw wear one was Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull), but I thought it was for balance while standing on one foot, playing the flute for 15 minutes at a time.

Bouree, with the stage lights all shining down on him in a triangular shape. Awesome. The performance not the codpiece.

drawing on your religious connottations, would that be the codpiece that passeth all understanding?

My knowledge of Christian mythology is primarily derived from Life of Brian (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0079470/).
