    Thank you for submitting your manuscript for Lord of the Robotic Rings. It has garnered some interest, yet we are looking for a trilogy, should we decide to publish. Continue writing and keep in touch.

    Yours Truly,
    Simon Says

    “…his first pet in a brand new city.
    The dog ran off with his left leg playing fetch in the park & termites ate the rest of his extremities. The End

        1657 - Freedom of religion is granted to the Jews of New Amsterdam

        1926 - Western Electric and Warner Bros. announce Vitaphone, a process to add sound to film.

        1972 - Apollo 16 lands on the Moon.:

        The astronauts discovered that what was thought to have been a region of volcanism was actually a region full of impact-formed rocks (breccias).

  7. Some of the best parts of a continuing fairy tale are perhaps the ones yet to be discovered and discerned.

    Hey, great setting for composing a story: the extraordinarily storied Grand Central Station, inspirational central; that great edifice of countless footsteps: generations of people hurriedly traversing across its eternally permanent and ageless granite floor, alighting and transcending its magnificent, decades-old marble steps…all on their way to more temporal things narrating elsewhere in their lives.

    But, just f.y.i.: not more than two weeks ago while waiting for an outbound New Haven train, I sat at that exact spot downstairs–where you began the first sentence of today’s lovely communal taradiddle–and I inordinately slobbered all over that table while consuming with plastic utensil a large Hale ‘n Hearty’s bowl of tomato, onion and garlic-pesto soup with crust of bread; right around the area where your elbow was resting. I dribbled some down onto the seat of that same chair, too, but sopped most of it up with the paper napkin. Just thought you’d like to know, this concourse of my admissions.

    “The tree was very large; hundreds of animals fell from its branches into the vehicle and all about…”

    “Wow, nice ride,” said one of the lucky ones who actually floated down tenderly into the vehicle and not, as did most of the curious others, (fall) ‘all around’.

    The fancy is indeed no other than a mode of memory emancipated from the order of time and space; and blended with, and modified by that empirical phenomenon of the will which we express by the word choice. http://tinyurl.com/4f4b7n

  9. Flowers have lost their scent!!!

    Pollution is stifling the fragrance of plants and preventing bees from pollinating them – endangering one of the most essential cycles of nature, writes Environment Editor Geoffrey Lean

    First the Bs disappear, poor missing cousins, now we’re screwing up these delicate seed plants.

      Whoa! Them there’s fightin’ words Brah! But Baron von Andrew did post a while back that things would be different on these new servers and shows would always be up at 9:00am. I guess he’s busy pulling down his eBay auction of his Twitter account. PR stunt?!

        I for one appreciate anything that makes the weekend last a little longer.

        But maybe we should post some hangover cures, just in case?

        I never really minded long weekends & h/o cures are an idea, and I can well imagine it is not always a big party putting 5 shows a week together, and online, however; that said, if you are going to come out and say it will be as such from now on, I for one would expect that to be true. I didn’t mind the random postings back in the old days but now we have a schedule to keep!!
