Apparently I missed this series, so based on this one I went back and read them all!

This, to me, is literature at it's finest.

Thank you, Siggy...You DID read "A Brief Explanation, parts 1-5, right?  If not, when you have time...But remember to read them in order.

I did, and I still flail my arms as though I were Kermit at the mere thought of it.

So it's a good lesson - care about shit that's fun, fuck the shit that isn't fun.

Champagne for my real friends - real pain for my sham friends.

East Coast Hustle

:mittens:

I was waiting to pass judgment on this series, because as much as I always enjoy your writing I was hoping that this one would end with a sense of optimism.

East German Judge gave this series a 10/10 and didn't even require his usual bribe of a case of 2-ply toilet paper and a bottle of Mad Dog 20/20.

I never know how these things are going to end until it happens.

Well, this one, anyway.  I had the shaggy dog story in the last series in mind from the get go.

  It is rather a pity that so few kings are as wise and decisive as Old King Cram, because the world - and we ourselves - would be happier if more kings realized that not every concern is worthy of a king's attention.


:mittens: for the entire OP!

That one line though.  Pure gold and it is a shame it's not required to be memorized and practiced by every politician whether royal or not!!!!

^also this^

I loved reading these last two series..es...
It feels unreal because it's trickling up.

Could be worse.  You could be me, gritting my teeth in ancipation of Penumbral showing up and spagging my thread with lyrics by some dead rapper named Eyedea.

Thanks.  It's been a useful exercise to keep me writing.  I'll probably do one more 5 part series, and then find a new gimmick.
