A present for Bunny...I think she needs it: Silly old biddy.

Omg Louise, its Ellery!     What a man.

**SPOILERS**



Louise those last two chapters about the dinner from hell were just fantastic.  Talk about an awkward atmosphere!!!  I cant believe that there was not one but two stupid old women at the dinner table!  I know Bunny is embarrassing with her hots for Ennis and then having a go at him for not realising she was in love with him? What?!!! She is just sexually frustrated and needs a good seeing too. lol  But its Julia that got up my nose, not once but twice spouting complete clap trap out of her filthy mouth.  And she's rude - doing that after Wes and Edna specifically asked her not to. 

I just love Ellery though - being as polite and nice as possible through it all, when he probably wanted to pour the coffee in her face!!! lol

I just love all those Brit expressions you ladies use:

"Got all up my nose..."  "a good seeing to!"

I might have to do a British fan fiction one of these days and use all these quaint expressions!

Even though I live in Oz my parents were Londoners and so I am familiar with those expressions reserved for the  female of the species eg "You little mare". "You cow!" or "sow" - take your pick! Another expression I particularly like is "tripehound".

PS Even though gay men (women) can find themselves the object of scorn from people like Julia - may I say that nothing beats the scorn heaped on a post menopausal woman who has the temerity to forget that she should remain invisible.

but I'm good with a can opener...


(couldn't resist!)

You are a caution Leslie!

[louisev]

ack! another fan message...

Yes, I really am completing the Laramie Saga with this book.  I really am.

I really.... am.

I am sorry, everybody, but I have to go back to writing my original fiction, or I will go mad, mad I tell you - MAD!

Slightly OT but for those who might want a laugh...


There have been a couple of funny replies to my can opener comment (magicmountain, most recently)...

Everytime I read this I think of the "I am good with a canoe" line which I realize, none of you will know what I am talking about. However, in my opinion, one of the funniest threads on this board is over on Chez Tremblay and it is called the Malaysian Subtitles Thread. Everytime I look at it, I crack up...and if you read it, then you WILL know what the canoe line means...and a whole bunch more (Ennis Balmore? Huh?)

Here's the link...

Yeah right!      Just as Anne Proulx said, these guys get under your skin and you can't get them out of your head!     I don't see an end coming~!
