That does sound like fun! Since I’m busy looking for my lost twin in “real” life, I can relate to the whole thing. And of course from my post today I already have a wild frontier adventure going on in “real” life also. That is me versus a preacher man. I’d love some help from Car Johnson on that one LOL!
Hey, Simone, Loved the Preacher Man post :-)
Rebekah posted below—maybe you should ask her for Car’s help…
Alexander, you just do not KNOW how relieved I am to possibly find some help on this one. I had another possible scenario and it fits no genre I can think of. It’s downright insane. I won’t even go into it. I don’t want you or anyone else to think I’m weird.
Not think you are “weird”, Simone??
But the word means: O.E. wyrd “fate, destiny” (n.), lit. “that which comes,” from P.Gmc. *wurthis (cf. O.S. wurd, O.H.G. wurt “fate,” O.N. urðr “fate, one of the three Norns”)
Ok I’m getting t-shirts and bumper stickers made up for myself on that! Thank you!
WHOOT !!! :-)
Thanks for the mention, Alex.:) This was a challenge that was just too good to pass up. I’ve already gotten Car style cow fetus tea parties and a poor man who had the top of his head lift off. I’ve managed to make it sound serious so far, but the challenge is young and there’s plenty more crazy things people can throw my way.
Ah, Rebekah, dear :-)
Always willing to help you in your Ventures
Say, Simone, in the comment above this, expressed a desire for Car’s services….
