It is a Terran insect repellent.
I thought everyone knew about it.
nope, neverheard of it. (maybe I’m not really Terran… 
)
Maybe it’s a Southern thing, or an old guy thing. Then, I used to be goyisch, so it may very well be that. 
There was a stick of this…goop in Dad’s tackle box. Smelled nasty.
Amending an earlier rule:
- Don’t post twice in a row; let someone else write an intervening chapter*, unless 48 hours have passed without any such posting, in which case you may post consecutively.*
New language in italics.
Thanks. Y’all feel free to carry Samantha’s storyline while I’m not here.
BTW: I now have a broken toe, too. Wasn’t watching where I was going Thursday night.
Take care of yourself and get well soon. Y’know, posting story installments on the SDMB can be very therapeutic…
Three days since I last posted in the story - and no one else has since. Please don’t make me invoke the revised Rule 7 (post 144, above)!
Thanks for your latest post in the story, carnivorousplant. Two suggestions: you refer to Jolee as female, but Corner Case, who created the character in post #70, said he is male. Also, the precious mineral found in such abundance on Pelleri Prime is spelled “dilithium.” Thanks again!
I am no good at plot, but I can write dialogue. I will be adding some stuff soon - but I’ve been away and my mind has been on other things.
Great! Welcome back, anyrose. The more, the merrier.
Spellcheck: “dilithium” and “Nkembe” (the Franklin’s Science Officer). Carry on.
It’s been four days since Anyrose’s last post to the story thread. We got off to a pretty good start, but I’m afraid it’s dying on the vine. If there’ve been no other posts in the next three days, I’ll write a conclusion and then ask the mods to close it.
It was fun while it lasted. But I have not been able to concentrate on the story line - I’ve got a crapload of other stuff on my mind these days (some good, some neutral, some bad) and the story fell to the bottom of the pack.
We could try again next year - maybe pck up where this one left off with a “our story so far”
Last time, on the Star Trek Thread: Captain Xiang kicked Cmdr Collins until she fell down, and then took her lunch money, and told ugly stories to all her friends, and tore up all of her Gul Sheket fan magazines.
you owe me a new keyboard! 
So explain the Goldie Hawn reference.
“Protocol”
OK, Protocols of Zion, Anti Semitisim, Haman, Mel Gibson…but Goldie Hawn?
Hmmm. Maybe. Define “next year,” please.
the movie Protocol starred Chris Sarandon and Goldie Hawn
