Victor, insent.(He's been in here before, right? Just not lately.) Connie, if you still have the Weekend Novelist Mystery one, I've been curious about it...I promise,Deb, not to take it up like a cult.
My work's illegal, but at least it's honest.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Dumb question: is "mid twenties" (when talking about someone's age) hyphenated or not?

Hey. New board.
I think so, Anne.

Hear ye, hear ye! New drabble topic!
I'm full of charred meat, cake, and expensive red wine, thanks to a Memorial Day cookout. All of that impinges just a wee bit on my ability to come up with a new, thoroughly original and exciting drabble topic, so I'm going back to the pictures from Look at Me.
Challenge #59 (ways we communicate without words) is now closed.
Challenge #60 is the following pictures from the Look at Me website. Drabble them however you like, and please include a link to the picture you chose when you post.

Here's where Tommy got so drunk he threw up on my new, dyed-to-match-the-dress satin shoes.
There's the table where Mark called Daphne a whore and Daphne told him she wouldn't sleep with him even for money.
Out in the parking lot, Daphne and I cried on each other and said a convent sounded like a great idea.
Then the guys came out, I slapped Mark, Daphne slapped Tommy, and Bobby and Harry asked if we'd rather go to the Howard Johnson's for cheeseburgers and shakes.
Memo to self: remind Harry about getting gift for Daphne and Bobby's wedding next month.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
connie, that's a honey.
Huh. It may be the total immersion aspect of the current WIP, but none of those pictures are talking to me at all. Nearest thing to it is the guy in front of the ships with the swastika, but even that one is barely poking at me.
Interested to see what everyone comes up with on these.

It was Uncle Gregor who put the kayak on wheels. After the hay was mown, he'd push us around the shorn fields, telling us to practice our paddling and talking about cold mountain streams in Moldavia.
Tante Caterina would watch silently. That day in the summer, when the hay was blowing in the wind, Susan and I took her arms and made her join us in the kayak for the picture.
We laughed and waved, then I saw Tante's face. "It's so like waves," she said, looking at the grass billowing. "Waves mean you're leaving home."

"I bet I can make you laugh, Grossmutter."
"Photos should have dignity."
"Muti, did you hear about Onkle Fritzi and the goat and his new suit?"
"Take the picture, Hansi."
"He was wearing the suit when the goat started to eat the trousers."
...
"Oh, fine, Muti, you win." click
"Oh, thank god. And your Tante Martha beating the goat with her handbag . . ."
"Muti!"
