Did I say Fiction?

Silly me. It seems I have committed the cardinal sin of entertainment: I have abandoned my audience. I may be bored of beating my Not New horse to death, but it seems that most of you are not. (Since there are only ten of you, I use the word "most" with confidence.)

I mean, did Bugs Bunny tire of the refrain "That's All, Folks"? Does George Zimmer get sick of guaranteeing suit purchases? Is Avril Lavigne totally over singing "Sk8tr Boi"? (Probably not, but I, for one, am tired of her outfits.)

Does Barbie refuse to wear heels? NO. No, she does not. She must not. She, well, cannot.


[Barbie would like to offer you a conciliatory cupcake.]

You have spoken, and I shall obey. No more confusing, punctuation-less fictional narratives. I'm back on track.

CORRECTION: It has been pointed out to me that it was in fact Porky Pig who uttered the phrase "That's all, Folks" and not Bugs. Of course. What's up with me, Doc?

not to be a Loony Toons Stickler, but Porky Pig was responsible for wrapping up a short with "That's all folks." Bugs made "nyah, what's up doc?" famous. And to be sure, he never tired of it.

Sort of the way I never tire of waking up in the early morning hours to drink yogurt and read your blog as a baby summersaults in my belly!

I have never spelled "summersault" before this moment. It is not as satisfying as ranunculus (or homunculus, for that matter).
