Setting – the garden on a glorious summer’s day
Props – one sunlounger and a hedge
The Players –
The terrible Goddess
Daddy Papersurfer
Aloe Vera
Act 1
The TG : “Pull your t-shirt up – you know the mess it makes.”
Me : “OK”
The TG : “No, NO – further than that!”
Me : “Huh?”
The TG : “They make it sweaty and smelly!”
Me : “Oh”
Sound, stage left, apparently from the other side of hedge.
Aloe Vera : “Gasp” - small delay – *thud*
THE END
[Is Aloe Vera OK? What was the truth behind these dramatic events? ……. we’ll probably never know the answers to these questions …… oh well] (Let’s keep it that way. Lo,TG Ed)

Stumble It!

I tell you… mark my words, but PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Aloe) are going to be up in (smelly) arms over this.
You just never learn, do you?
The TG started it ……. *sulk*
Honestly… I’m sorry I’ve been away. I should’ve known you couldn’t handle the typing all by yourself. It seems you forgot to include the second act to your play. My word… the readers here are losing out; Act II is the best part of the whole play.
Here it is. If I have time after my coffee break, I’ll get Act III and IV done up.
ACT II
DP : “You know, I was a fool when I married you.”
TG : “Yes, dear, but I was in love and didn’t notice.”
Actually young Fraccy, I’ve just written another play …. so you might find yourself rather busy …..
[I've just read out ACT II to the TG and she's giggling like a maniac ..... tsk!!!!]
Are you sure it wasn’t the sight of the ‘Friday Food Porn’ apiary that Fracas has shaped at the far end?
Apiary …. or topiary? I’m getting confused now ….. mind you, it’s still rather early ….
Just testing, or did I mean a hedge in the shape of an aroused bee? Or was I just trying to entertain 70s with a deliberate mistake?…………errr? *desperately trying to recover credibility*
I’d go for the ‘entertaining 70’s’ thing ….. she’s easily amused ….. give her a flat cap and a ferret and she’ll play for hours ……
I’ve told you before, keep the ferret under you hat!
sorry guys but I am being easily amused by my new lappytoppy just now who is so new and naive… ahhh!!
The joy of a new lappytop doesn’t last for ever ….. so spake DPSaniflo ……..
*mystified*
and not for the first time
Join the club Nursey ….. I never know what’s going on …..
So…aloe vera swooned at the sight of your belly?
Is that good or bad?
(I hope you don’t swoon at the sight of this headless torso.)
Especially since it’s clad in such a spiffy shirt.
Whoops! Take two…the headless torso in a nifty shirt.
Gosh – the writing goes all funny on your side of the world ……….. I hate to say it, but you look a million times better in it than I did …… not fair …. tee hee heeeeee
ok what did you do … my compute died at home last night so I will have to go & buy one today damn
Is you going to buy a Mac ……. or are you terribly PC? I believe that Macs can deal with the most awful typos ………
Oh dear, that’s not good. Where choosing to spend money on a new computer or shoes/bras and the like… we all know where I stand. My sympathies to you sis.
{{{I keep the office credit card in the second file drawer from the bottom… hidden inside a file titled ‘feminine product catalogues’ because I’m quite sure he’ll never look there. I thought about filing it under ‘how to prevent wind’ but decided he actually might, in desperation and desire to please the TG… check that file someday. I’m sure if you use the card to purchase a new computer it can be accounted for honestly since you are fanzine editor and all.}}}
Happy shopping!
If I could read between curly girly brackets I might have to say something about “Have we learnt nothing from the dreadful behaviour of some of our MP’s?” ….. but as I can’t ….. I won’t ……
Dear Frac {{{{{ can you just email Staples with his card details pweeeese? That will save me a few $£’s}}}}} xx
DP ~ I could say a lot about our Parliament heads … but there again I could get sacked … non the less .. claiming for a moat or a mortgage that has been paid off smacks of serious fraud.. but who I am I to say????
Some expenses were very legitimate – the £18000 bookshelves and the ornamental duck house – both vital to the running of the country and extremely good value …… [This comment brought to you from a Different Planet]
[Excellent - the new lappytop does allow typos through - tee hee heeeeeeeeeeeeee]
They must have caught sight of your breasts. I thought you would have learned from me to keep them covered!
I don’t think it was them that was the problem …. well …… one might have escaped I suppose ….. oh dear
Hmm….*Strokes imaginary beard. With one eyebrow raised.*
Marvelous acting…. But, it left a lot of unanswered questions…. 4/5 stars…
The Terrible Goddess is either very manipulative, or that Surfer guy, whoever that is, is extremely gullible…
*Strokes real but slightly tatty beard* ….. I believe you could be right Evan ….. and it’s only going to get worse …….ho hum
What with rubbish T-Mobile service, and my ineptitude trying to learn my new Wordpress blog, my beard will soon be long enough to make clothes redundant. Can you pop next door and ask Aloe if she’d like a photo?
I shall ……. as soon as she’s come out of her coma ….. [good luck on the technical front]
