For example: when Nats admitted to the Librarian that exposition was harder than it looks. And pretty much every exchange between Bookman and Wormcallow in Bagpiper's Sporran (sp?).

It's a strange truth that these days I can write comedy in any mood but only write tragedy when I'm happy.

Quote:

If Ã¢â‚¬Å“Tis Obie rising frae thÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ loch!Ã¢â‚¬Â isn't a punchline to a dirty joke, it should be.

Now we're going to have to have a limerick contest with that as the final line.

Quote:

Interesting use of Remorse/Regret Kiskilla (sp)to the legend of the Haggis. It made me wonder if the events took place pre or post damnation.

Well picked up.

Looking forward to the next bit!

It's getting to the part where I have to tie things up to a resolution. Ulp.
