Almira Ahmed.

Obviously, this is a lad with broadway experience! Rolling Eyes

First time I've received an e-mail complete with typed sound effects. I'm still waiting for the standard hospital photos (even though they're shots of a guy) for added authenticity. Who says lads don't try hard enough?

Naturally all your replies will be in the form of:

"Too tired to type any words today so please use telekinesis to decipher this email"

While I love Lovecraft, he would try to hard to give the idea of "first person" in his work. As one critic put it, "if only he knew about dictaphones!"

So, in one, his "last words" are "THE THREE LOBED EYE!!"

Because . . . when an "unspeakable" denizen from the "cthonic realms" is in the process of devouring you . . . you need to commit these details to writing. That story was written as a friendly "slap" to Robert Bloch of "Psycho" fame.

Though he surpassed that when he had his "protagonist" pen:

"Dragged down stairs!"

Wish I could find the article on him from years back which had a hilarious cartoon of a writer furiously scribbling on scattering pages while being dragged down a flight of stairs.

Still, as the critic who loved his work noted, such mistakes one could overlook in the pleasure that is Lovecraftian horror. What one could NOT overlook was the tendency in his admirers and imitators, one of whom DID end a story with the "protagonist" writing . . .

. . .

. . .

. . . you guessed it: "AAAAAAAHHHHHH!"

Very Happy

Wonder about doing that in an e-mail to a lad, sort of like making a post and noticing that an unspeakable fungi from the aether has just burst through the door to take me to the unnameable Stygian depths as written in the Book of Edebion grabbing my sandals and spilling my mocha IT IS EATING MY BRAIN!!!!!

This lad is the most. He / she (not sure which, haven't really asked) also has two, count 'em two barristers. But she only needs one and has asked me to sever all contact with the other one because (well duh!) he can't be trusted. My character doesn't know what the hell is going on, but this could be the start of three very antagonistic relationships.

I'm thinking maybe s/he switched ogas in mid-scam. Do 419-er syndicates often recruit dramatic lads? What would they offer, dental plan? More vacation time? Keys to an indoor bathroom?

I love it so much, I really think she/he ran out of things to say, had a total mind blank and just though 'hmmm f* it....'.

I'm definitely using the "ummmmmmmmmmmmm no strenght" modality when I can't come up with anything good. Laughing

Maybe she was dictating it?

^^^^^^^ DAMN YOU! I was scrolling through this thread hoping that no one had caught that obvious reference.... and had almost made it down to the "Post Reply" button....

I was surprised that such an easy one was there for me to take given the number of posts before I got here Smile

Not a drama queen but Mr Sydn3y M0rning H3rald has started to give me inspirational sayings to motivate me to travel to a WU office.

Quote:

In life for you to be succesful you have to be ready to strive for greatness

Quote:

And please act fast you know this is a company and we have other things doing too just try travel to any of them remember the say"NOTHING GOOD COMES EASY"Take that as your strenght and look out for one of those offices

Who said that lads don't have the best interests of their mugus at heart.

One Lad gave me a prayer to recite to shore up my willingness to carry out his modalities:

Quote:

talks to God "Father I thank you for the revelation of your word to me this day.I'm resolved this day to trust and beleive the words of the man who you have annointed for my sake.I'm learning now to take advantage of this truth,in Jesus Name, Amen!

I repleid:

Quote:

I also don't believe that prayer achieves a gorram thing, so that piece of doggerel that you supplied ain't passing my lips.

He didn't mention reilgion again.
