17. I always wondered what became of Garfield Goose after his tv show was canceled!

Only those DUers who grew up in the Chicago area in the 50s and 60s will know what I'm talking about.

[mopinko]

18. he went on to do birthday parties.

the puppeteers live a few blocks from me out in aurora.

[HopeHoops]

19. YOU are sick.

MERRY DUCKING CHRISTMAS!!!!

[graywarrior]

20. You have no idea.

[HopeHoops]

22. Hey, I'm married. Otherwise I might court you.

You have a really weird side that I find amusing. I'm a sick bastard.

[graywarrior]

23. My weird side works to my disadvantage most time

Fortunately, my brother is weirder....and thrives on it.

[HopeHoops]

24. Okay. I need to have a beer with him.

By the way, I'm most happily married - 26? years? I forget - fuck it - 1987. Oh, and do you remember the book I asked you to review, "The Goblin of Booker Forest"? I published it on Amazon Kindle. I've almost made $2.00 so far! Not bad for ten years of work and revision, eh?

[graywarrior]

25. Hell yeah, I remember that!

Great story! I just got published in a Lit Arts Mag!

[HopeHoops]

26. So I read - can you PM me with the link? I couldn't find the post just now.

Mine is at http://www.amazon.com/Goblin-Booker-Forest-ebook/dp/B005GEZJ4M for $1 and there are free readers for damn near everything but Linux. And yes, that's me on the cover. My middle daughter took the photos.

[graywarrior]

28. So, now you're a saleable author!

Mine is on page 72 of mag. "Tiny Revelations of a Recluse"

http://www.parnassuslitmag.com/Parnassus11.pdf

[HopeHoops]

31. I self-published. I'm not sure $2.00 qualifies for "saleable".

I'm going to be publishing a three book series beginning with "The Rape of Kyra Collins" under the pen name "Paul C. Brickner" to avoid association with my child-oriented books. It's a little on the dark side and the second and third books are more in the horror category than the first. I'm on about the 200th revision of the first book but I need to add a few chapters to deal with the story line in the next two books. I'm almost tired of revising the damn thing, but I still read it about once a week to keep my mind fresh on the details so I don't fuck up the next two books. I know, I know - details, details, details. That's what my wife keeps telling me. I even built a spreadsheet that keeps track of all of the main characters and their birth/death dates so I can be sure they make sense. I'm a geek.

On Edit: The book is only $1, but with my 35% commission, I've almost made the $2 in the OP subject line. http://www.amazon.com/Goblin-Booker-Forest-ebook/dp/B005GEZJ4M

[graywarrior]

33. Revise! Tell me about it. I revised my published story at least 25 times.

I hate it now.

[HopeHoops]

35. Only 25? Damn I need to be more efficient.

I'm too into detail. I catch such things in movies and books and it shocks me that they made it through the editing process without anyone correcting temporal/spacial impossibilities.

[graywarrior]

36. I had a deadline....otherwise

I just completed one about my dad's wake which turned into a fist fighting melee. I need more detail. My writing professor says it's publishable. If I do that, my family will disown me forever instead of for life.

[HopeHoops]

38. Is there a problem with that?

Sorry, personal note.

[graywarrior]

40. You lost me. Problem with what?

[HopeHoops]

42. Family disowning you. I'm close to that as it is.

[graywarrior]

43. LOL. No. Not a problem.

Par for the course...altho my brother has been hanging out with me more lately.

[graywarrior]

30. I love the cover photo!

I will order it when I can sit and read it.

[HopeHoops]

32. My middle daughter took both pictures (yes, that's me) and I super-imosed them.

She's rather talented with a camera.

My eldest will be on the cover of Kyra - my middle daughter took that picture too, naked from the waist up (back). I hid in another room.

[graywarrior]

34. Ah, a family of artists! Love it!

[HopeHoops]

37. She gets that from my dad. He was a professional photographer.

I grew up with a dark room in the basement and I was pretty damn good with B&W 110 film in my Yashika. I don't even know where to GET 110 film anymore. My eldest spent 10 days in Greece and Turkey a year ago and took over 10,000 digital photos (I shit you not). She had to pick three to use for her assignment. She's spending all of next semester in Budapest and I expect a shitload more than 10K pictures when she returns. She'll be taking some blank DVDs to burn them onto. I can't afford anymore memory cards.

[graywarrior]

39. Wow! Sounds like she's gaining some great experiences

My grandfather had his own orchestra during the 40's. His accomplishments include drinking and girlfriends on the side.

[HopeHoops]

41. Um, well, that was all pre-marriage for me.

I'm happy with my wife (1987) and not "in the market" so to speak. We just got off of the phone a while ago with one of my ex-girlfriends, the one that introduce me to my wife in fact. She's more of a sister now. Two of my earliest girlfriends are Facebook friends with me - one's married with kids, the other realized she was a lesbian and is happy now. My first real girlfriend disappeared. Well, to be fair, I had one in kindergarten, but I can't find her either.

None of that is about wanting to rekindle things, just touching base with old friends. Like I said, I'm happy with my woman.

[graywarrior]

44. I'm happy with Mr. G.

He's crazier than I am....but no one knows that.

[HopeHoops]

45. Okay, I'm having a little difficulty with that concept.

But my wife is the silent but wild inside sort, so I guess I can relate. When she lets her hair down, watch out. She's all of 95 lbs but can kick the shit out of guys who are 6' or so. A third degree black belt isn't someone you want to fuck with. I have a back brace and have to use a cane, but I feel pretty safe. I just can't believe she's put up with me for so long. I guess there's something beyond rational thinking -what is it called again? Oh yeah, "love".

[graywarrior]

47. Mr G is a professional public speaker

He comes across as smooth and balanced. No one knows whether he is serious or kidding most of the time. They look to me to see my reaction, which is usually deadpan. At home, he cracks me up most of the time because acts like a dufus. He's the smartest guy in the room but he acts clueless.

[HopeHoops]

55. Ah. I can relate to that. I have a similar approach when I'm out.

For example, if I want to take over a pool table I play "drunken monk" while parking the balls around all of the pockets. That not only blocks the opponent, but it makes it easy to clear the table when I'm ready. My wife and I usually play as partners. She's quiet (usually) and generally the game works out so she gets to do the cleanup - shocks the shit out of the people we're playing against, but after we own the table we rarely lose it.

[graywarrior]

56. LOL!

I love weirdoes!

[WCGreen]

27. Oh ye are a fowl one...

[graywarrior]

29. But not a chicken!

[HopeHoops]

46. A duck!

- Monty Python reference.

[graywarrior]

48. Bok bok!

[blogslut]

49. And a Merry Happy/Happy Merry to you too,

ya duck plucker.

[graywarrior]

50. Duck plucker! Hahahahahahahaha

[westerebus]

51. DUCKERSHANE to you too.

I can't smell in german ether.

[graywarrior]

52. "I can't smell in german ether."

You're drinking Cold Duck, right?

[westerebus]

53. No. Just came by to check on the duck.

I guess you could say I just ducked by.

[graywarrior]

54. He appreciates your concern

He's tap dancing today
