I hope that happens to me, and that the story is fabulous. I'll be famous!

I'm thinking it should be something surreal but in a medieval setting: "The Unconsoled" meets "Name of the Rose."

Will there be sex?

I mean, real sex, not that stuff they talk about in romance novels.
 
There once was a man from Glass,
Whose balls were made out of brass.
When he clanged them together,
They played "Stormy Weather",
And Lightning shot out of his ass.

Not a story, but you're always so crazy for limericks...

If you catch a Chinchilla in Chile
And cut off its beard, willy-nilly
You can honestly say
That you have just made
A Chilean Chinchilla's chin chilly

I suppose that would be wonderful but somehow it seems more likely that I'd find myself in someone else's story and I'm not the least bit sure how that might come out . . . :rolleyes:

We did that with the last Olympics chain story. I worked out. :D

Crazy as can be.
 
Name of the Rose-- pfui


Just because it's sensitive and profound doesn't make it a masterpiece.
 
I go with the sensitive part, and I can physically attest the profundity. But do you think you are a masterpiece?
 
You, like every great masterpiece, need a virtuoso to be revealed

I can see that...
 
My (real) name is on a 17th century book written by an English clergyman.

It is a dreadful book but had a significant impact at the time.

No. He wrote an advice manual for people planning to emigrate to the Americas.

He hadn't met anyone who had gone to America nor did he know anything about America. He suggested that England should export all its rogues and vagabonds to America where they would instantly become honest citizens because they would have no one to prey on, and England would be crime-free because all the rogues and vagabonds had gone.

He didn't know anything about emigration and wrote a how-to manual. It went through several editions in a couple of years.

Some things don't change. Useless How-To manuals are still filling booksellers' shelves.
