Very late, but new drabble time!
Challenge #73 (rain) is now closed.
Challenge #74 is, since we haven't done it for a while, pictures from the Look At Me website. Drabble as many as you like, and please include the link to the photo, so we can see the image that goes with the drabble.

Man, those are so great. Number Nine looks like an Ezra Jack Keats book.
Nobody minds if I beat the shit out of the Salon book reviewer that called the detective story "devoid of artistic merit," do they? Or maybe Deb should...it's not a road trip for DebG. I should carve him up and write "Dennis Lehane sent me" on the wall in blood. What a malaka Ok...we all(Well, those of us that love hard-boiled) love Raymond Chandler and his sexy metaphors, right? But to say it's all downhill since...snobbish much? Raymond Chandler would drink himself to death all over again to not be part of such a stupid argument. Those guys were geniuses, but dag. And he trashed some of my favorites, too(Nobody in here.) And for once, I think "Sir, what have you written lately?"

I'll hold him down for you.
The entire genre of detective stories? That's just completely nuts. You'd think I'd be used to it, being a romance writer, but the mind still boggles. That's painting with a brush as broad as the Great Plains.

Including Conan Doyle? Including Poe? Including Chandler? Can I help you with the beating?
Wrong-headed people shouldn't be allowed to have a head. IJS.
After Raymond Chandler and Ross McDonald, I should have said, because that's what he said. Which is annoying even if he hadn't put Grafton and Pelecanos on his "Eh. Whatever." list. Those guys were very brilliant. But nobody would ever say "Eh. Don't write a play. Shakespeare wrote tons."(And they're not Shakespeares, but in their house they are.) And Chandler's characterizations of people not-white suck in that "gee, fifty years is a long time," kind of way. So we can't get stuck there.And I think women have stuff to offer to a form that is really male dominated and I'm trying not to feel self-serving typing that, but...

Sail? May I? Please?
Sure!
