Author's Hangout

[dr_mabeuse]

With the holidays coming up, I'm looking for that delish recipe for flourless chocolate guacomole that someone posted here several months ago.

Also, which way is the toilet paper roll supposed to go? So the paper comes forward off the top or behind from the back? I'd like some authors' opinions.

P.S. The piles are just fine. The new Rx is great!

over the top

over the top.

although I have noticed that in the office where I work the girls, when they change the rolls, do it paper to the wall.

...changed my mind...

That depends entirely upon the the construction of the roll holder. There is the pin, and the less common cradle. And they crave different directions.

Welcome back, Doc.

Direction of TP is dependent somewhat on the combination of which side it sits to the consumer, and whether said user is left or right handed. What is important is the amount and quickness of dispensing needed. For really quick access, leave the roll on its side on the counter next to the throne.

The only logical answer is so that it rolls to the front towards the rollee. This saves time twirling it around to find the end. With one good swipe (no pun intended) you've got enough paper for 10 people! Besides, it's much easier for the cat to unroll if it's handy like this.

Hey, Mab. I hate to think this but it seems the only person who might have 'heard' your message correctly changed her mind. Of course if I'm wrong I'll be glad.

Take this for no more than it reads: we can always count on you.

regards, Perdita

Hey Dr. Mab-

I have some questions of my own!

1.) What do you guys think about commas?

2.) What's the shortest story you've ever written?

3.) Could you write a bdsm scene in the midst of a howling Kansas tornado?

4.) What's the most superfluous, glad-handing, soft-ball literary question you've ever asked?

On the toilet paper issue -- our roller is weirdly and inconveniently located in relation to the potty, so generally the roll just sits on the counter.

1.) What do you guys think about commas?

2.) What's the shortest story you've ever written?

3.) Could you write a bdsm scene in the midst of a howling Kansas tornado?

4.) What's the most superfluous, glad-handing, soft-ball literary question you've ever asked?

1. Like lube, they're useful when one uses just enough in the right place.

2. Complete tale? Right around 1,000 words. I'm not good with really short stories.

3. Is the scene set in the tornado, or am I trying to write during one? In the first case, I imagine that someone tied down might either save his/her life, or make for a very interesting way of being found dead several miles from home. If the second, no, I'm phobic about twisters.

4. "Where do you get your ideas?"

Doc,

I'm sure you're not making a sarcastic comment about a preceived proliferation of non-writing topics here at Author's Hangout, but are in search of sage wisdom, counsel and advice. With that in mind, I venture to answer thusly:

--With the holidays coming up, I'm looking for that delish recipe for flourless chocolate guacomole that someone posted here several months ago.
RF: Can't help. However, I've got a great one for chocolate guacomola flounder.

--Also, which way is the toilet paper roll supposed to go? So the paper comes forward off the top or behind from the back? I'd like some authors' opinions.
RF: Depends on who's replacing the roll. Whichever way they pick, their s/o will insist it be done the other way.

--P.S. The piles are just fine. The new Rx is great!
RF: Piles are a real pain in the ass. Maybe that's why Hemingway wrote standing..

--

Now for the inquiries of MlledeLaPlumeBleu

1.) What do you guys think about commas?
RF: Very little.

2.) What's the shortest story you've ever written?
RF: Written and published, 500 words. Written and unpublished, nine words. "He saw. He conquered. He came. It was good."

3.) Could you write a bdsm scene in the midst of a howling Kansas tornado?
RF: No

4.) What's the most superfluous, glad-handing, soft-ball literary question you've ever asked?
RF: Do you sleep in the nude?

For the good Dr. M, Look what I found in my cook book!

Guacomole
Presented at the Club on 7 July 1999 by Valerie Eccles.
2 cups unsweetend chocolate chips
2 cups (16 fl oz) mashed ripe avocado
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2-3 spring onions (or 1 small ordinary onion), finely chopped
1 cup (8 fl oz) finely-chopped fresh ripe tomatoes
pinch of salt to taste
1 1/2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, or to taste
Mix everything together and adjust seasonings to taste. You can fold in a little soy mayonnaise if you like, for a creamier texture

Chindogu. The Chindogu solution, mind you, would be to wear the extra roll on your head -- never be without, and it is great if you have a cold and frequently need tissues. (Chindogu? Yeah, see their website, from which the picture on the left was taken, or their book.)

I think every one can plainly see the paper goes off the top toward the front.

 

[A7inchPhildo]

Don't be angry I know what your point was. But I couldn't resist.

Hey can any one use one of these to go into a strip club, XXX movie. Think of all the runny nose post I read here! Yeah it is a cool option kids, just think what a statement you could make to your friends at the mall too.

Oh yes I almost forgot if you really want one the web site is ....
http://www.chindogu.com let me know how it works for you.
