That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
OMG, Allyson!! That is so cool!!!!

sara's drabble reminded me
They've obviously got this worked out. The big fake dead branch stretches towards the back of their enclosure and ends about head high two feet from the big plexiglas window. A bunch of monkeys are gathered around the far end.
"Look, spider monkeys. They're so cute. Look, one of them's running towards--"
WHAM!
Plexiglas shudders in the frame, the monkey rebounds off the window to the floor, humans jump back, spider monkeys bounce up and down, yelling in delight and all but pointing and laughing. The humans scurry away, embarrassed at being made fools of by monkeys.
Hubby and I pause just down the way. The folks behind us stop at the window.
"Mommy, look, monkeys!"
"Oh, look, one of them's coming up to see us--"
WHAM! Scream.
You've got to make your own fun.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Hah. Good one, on both counts.

Hee. The raven described above was based on a real one. Conversation, well...I made that up. But it was a very friendly/greedy raven. So awesome.
Yay Allyson!

The spider monkeys are at Salt Lake's Hogle Zoo. They take turns running up their fake tree limb and jumping at the faces of people who stop to look at them. The zoo should put a bench nearby so cruel people--like Hubby and me--could watch the fun.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
reminds me of the bench near the ...oh what are the hairy black & white monkeys called?.. at the Lincoln Park Zoo where we used to sit and watch people get peed on.

OK - not on topic, because as Sail says "fun to break the rules". It is a drabble though: exactly 100 words (not counting the title). ==============================
Microsoft Driving Interface
Why accept a rental with a Microsoft Driving Interface? Low sales resistance, maybe?
But there I was stuck on the freeway shoulder, one foot on the brake, clicking past reverse gear after reverse gear. They filled the "recently used gears list", and I was NOT about to use the scroll bar. That was how I'd accidentally opened the advanced menu and shifted to "234th Reverse" in the first place.
But at last a forward gear came on to my list of choices - the HANOB. I remembered what HANOB stood for only after clicking it - "High Acceleration No Brakes".

Because books.
It's quiet in here. ::blows dust off the library tables::
Anyone writing anything new? Anyone making writing resolutions for the new year? Anyone excited about a new project, or an old one?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Uh, yeah. My resolution is to *remember* that I took the drabble topics back from Lee.
D'oh.
I'll just wait until Monday, since it's more or less the end of the week now, and start fresh with a new topic. Maybe I'll even write it on my calendar.
Again, d'oh, and a thousand apologies.
