Nutty, I love it! Is hickory the same thing as chickory?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I have no idea. But I know you can use hickory nuts, chopped fine, as a poor man's coffee grinds.
I confess, I only used 3 of the words. But I don't think they'd heard of spaghetti in Virginia in 1864, much less carbohydrates.

You only needed to use three. AmyLiz is an overachiever.
Chicory is the dried root of a plant in the dandelion family.
Great drabbles. I must find ways to use those perfectly cromulent words.

For the record, if anyone here doesn't read Bitches, the list of words were contributed by the Bitches this morning. You may thank and/or blame them.

Because books.
Nutty, I love yours.
It just makes it more fun for me to use as many of the words as possible.

erika, I've got a question about your wannabe P.I. Why can't she qualify on the range, what's her roadblock to success? I'm just curious because I had to qualify on the range for military police and I found it ridiculously easy. It was only the second time I'd picked up a handgun and I fired a 183. I needed a 180 to qualify (this is marksman level in the military.) This was firing a .38. I have no idea how I would have done with any other handgun. I've fired a .45 since then, but never for any type of medal qualification, so I don't know how much more practice I might have required to qualify at a marksman level. I know nothing of what's required for qualification among civilian clubs/professions, etc. I just wanted to add my experience to help you flesh out whatever it is your doing with your P.I.

..so, when some dude in a uniform tells me he's a marksman, I should hide in the nearest concrete bunker till he puts the ordnance down, is that what you're saying??
Good to know.

Not really. Highest possible score is 300. So 180 isn't really that great. Now, if he said he shot expert (240 and above) then I'd start worrying.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think Nutty's panicked by the lack of accuracy, Sail.
