To hear the story, ignore Cassandra



This week in The Prattler, "The Romney Inaugural."









The story can be read from the cliff.


Conversion of the original file added a whine. The original recording is below:

    Cheesemeister, thanks. I think the link is working now.

    Ariel, her prophesying is perfected now.

    Thanks, Minka. That's my kind of poetry.

    once again, well done, Mrs. Weirsdo! what a fantastic and well-nuanced reading. *claps enthusiastically*

    and once again, well done, Doug. this was a fantastic and well-directed episode. that Alice, choosing to follow her destiny, whether she thinks she intends to, or not. apparently, being an assassin is more difficult than one might imagine. (messy, too.) ; )

  6. The Destinist destitutely deterged the desultory Oracle. And if you think that doesn't make sense, then you have some.

  7. What a classical wonderful reading! Bravo Weirsdo, nicely done. And bravo to you too Doug for a wonderfully "executed" story. Could there be a twist in this ending? I guess we'll find out.

    Nicely done you two.

  8. Yes, that's better. Sounds like poor Alice is just a pawn of the Fates.

  9. PANSI wants you to know that she doesn't care about these people and their silly problems, she has REAL problems. But she would like you to see this.

  13. Neva, my "direction" was understanding that Weirsdo owns Cassandra.

    She definitely did, TLP.

    Thanks, G. What's a twist?

    Cheesie, A new aadventures of Pansi?!?!?! And just when I thought my heart had dried up.

    Haha, Mireille. You conform to no stereotypes, that's true.

    And interior design, probably, too, Actonbell.

    Thanks Quentin and Icy.

    Wonderful reading. Doug I want to morph into you for the brilliant lines and sparkling comments

    I'm having all kinds of Mac problems just when Apple couldn't care less about computers. I know this doesn't belong here but I really need to complain

  24. Weirsdo, thank you. You make me sound bardish.

    Pansi, the cocktails are on me.

    We have our trials here below, Cooper.

    Actonbell, you're taking your July luck to the slots?

    Thanks, AP3. Rabbit Rabbit!

    TLP, and also to you.

    Sorry JD, it'll be funny again soon I hope.

    Ne va, rabbit rabbit

    Hey, Happy Canada Day, JJ!

  27. No offense Doug, but that's the best reading I've heard in a long time, maybe ever. Mrs. Weirsdo should go into audio books.

    A great story well read is a knock out punch.
