That line from the father's song in Mary Poppins, where he's going on about how nothing can go wrong, in Britain in 1910.  That's about the point I realized the boy was gonna die in a trench.

Likely the only thing of merit I've posted is the Sacred Bull, which was channeled through a charismatic sociopath.  As Hoopla, I mostly just whine.

I don't know that I've EVER posted any original writing here that's worth a damn except for the piece of mine in the BIP.

What I do know is that if I had to pick 4 threads from all of PD's history, three of them might change according to mood or weather but the goddamn Nessie thread will always be my pick for best thread of all time.

ETA: that's not necessarily true, I thought my piece about my dad was pretty good, but I can't find it using the site's search engine.

You wrote a story, IIRC, and you wrote something about being a chef, and something about the VI.  That was a long time ago, but I remember enjoying the VI stuff in particular.

Yeah, some sort of homecoming, going to bars, getting shot at... you know, typical ECH stuff.

Yeah, I never finished it so I don't count it as being worth a damn. Plus when I go back and read it now it makes me cringe a bit. I'm probably too hypercritical of my own writing.

I feel that way about most of the psycho letters.  There were one or two nuggets in that puddle of diarrhea I wrote, but most of it was just cold poop.

Yep. Goes for almost everything I've ever written for me.

Balls.  You've written some good stuff.  Nessies comes to mind.

I actually really liked that and hoped that you continued with it. Matter of fact I was thinking about that thread the other day. Can't remember what it was called, can you bump it?

Also, LMNO, I friggin' loved spiders. I even skipped work one day for the one where I was one of the Discordians and Roger was one of the spiders, because we had a rather lively and engaging back and forth.

And you know, we all feel doubts about our stuff, and are hypercritical about it, but hell, every so often I'll think about someone's thread, and go, "man, I wish I knew what that thread was called so I could reread it." Yours was definitely one of those. I particularly liked the part where the guy who wasn't supposed to be there was running the door and you told him to fuck off.

I don't think I can really respond to this thread... I couldn't pick four favorites.
