I'm first!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat story. Hey, I know that voice...
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of legs and loincloth and pride.
Where are the girls?
unfortunately I have no sound on this computer but I love the story.
ReplyDeletetruth is not for everyone. to some it's a thorn stuck under their skin keeping them from living, and the one that eases them from it will do them real good. *reaches out one hand*
False pride ruins many things, but I guess can be walked on
ReplyDeleteYes I have never heard that voice so animated in parts
ReplyDeleteDon't we all walk with thorns in our sides sometimes?
Why, just last weekend you pulled a thorn out of MY paw! Does that make me honest? xoxo
ReplyDeletewow. quite the pointed tale this week, eh, Doug?
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHAHAHA.
sorry... you know how easily amused i am, at times. that said, i LOVELOVELOVED this week's edition -- and thought it superb.
BRAVO! : )
Diogenes, the savior of accountants and lions ... no wonder his new best friend is a thorn.
ReplyDeleteAral, it's cheering to see you up there. There's a girl in next week's story. That's kinda evolved, right?
ReplyDeleteAriel, there's no truth in me.
Actonbell, you're thinking of caninity.
Exactly, Pia. Pride is a corn.
Mireille, it makes you feline. Well, it acknowledges that you always were.
A pun, Neva? You?
Quill, birds of feather.
Now all Diogenes needs is a rose.
ReplyDeleteDiogenes is wearing a loincloth. You decided to cover his manly bits in this episode. Shucks! I came here expecting the full monty.
Doug, I meant someone could be so nice and ease me from mine. although they say women are all lies, so maybe it's just a thorn really. :)
ReplyDeleteJamie Dawn, the rose makes a funny image. Diogenes The Cynic Mata Hari.
ReplyDeleteSorry, Ariel. I misunderstood. I never say that women are all lies. Who knows what they say?
I think that Diogenes is an Auditor. An auditor is someone who wishes he were an accountant, but doesn't have the personality for it.
ReplyDeleteWith thorns for brothers, who need enemies? Or something.
ReplyDeleteI love the turn back to your reading of Diogenes querying "Are you honest?" Seems that the tale is headed home.
Superb!
Hahaha, TLP. May as well work for the Commonwealth at that point.
ReplyDeleteG, I think we're 2/3 of the way there. At least I'm feeling like we're in the last act.
