Clear and I work at the same office, so when we think nobody else is watching, we go as far off-topic as we want. Originally, this was about how the use of too many unfamiliar phrases, words, and imagery when writing fiction will throw off the reader; I guess you could say that the de-evolution of the thread itself is an example of the very thing we're supposed to be talking about. Please, if you have any insights on this, feel free to right this ship.The Leper Fairy wrote:I'm so terribly confused.

Brinn, I'm glad you asked me that.Brinn wrote:Two questions:

1. The Grilloth-Hounds are diminutive at best. The largest hound measures no more than 4 inches in height at the haunches. It does have a long tapered tail about 5 inches long. Essentially we're talking, rodent. The label is essentially a pejorative.
I hope that satisfies your curiosity on the subject.

Grilloth recipeThe 1 wrote:Btter than chicken? 'cause chickens makes for some mighty fine eatin'
4 Grilloth-Hound fillets
75mls gin
orange, rowan jelly
juniper berries
salt & pepper
2 tablespoons of olive oil
Method
Slice the Grilloths and beat them so that they are thin. Then sprinkle with a few crushed juniper berries, salt & pepper. Fry them quickly in the oil and lay them in a dish garnished with paper thin slices of orange, brush a little rowan jelly over the Grilloths. Detach the glaze from the flying pan with a little water. Gently warm the gin in a large ladle or a small pan and then ignite. Pour it over the pan juices and give them a gentle stir, then tip the whole flaming lot over the Grilloths. It is important to warm the alcohol and carry out the igniting episode as swiftly as possible so that the alcohol has not evaporated before it has had chance to burn.
Bon Appetit
enjoy!

Ahh, yes. Very tasty. I believe this recipe won first prize at the '99 Grilloth Grille-off.

There's nothing to get, really. I paraphrased from Spinal Tap, then Clear countered by paraphrasing Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Kahn. At this rate, I'll have Clear in checkmate in seven moves.The 1 wrote:heh heh heh...I don't get it

HAH! Your inability to perceive the game will not avail you in the end, groveler; and the dullness of your limited senses will not cushion the reality of your imminent, unavoidable defeat. You kneel before me on unsteady knees that even now weep their failure. Begone, mortal! Don't make me turn this car around!
