Ha! Take that Google!
Yeah, I got as far as “I think it’s a list…”
I got to work on my speedy resolutions.
So now we have to write a detective story where the list is found on the body, and somebody (Poirot? Nancy Drew? That Patricia Cromwell forensics person?) has to figure out what it all means…
OK so we know what the note means, now what about the blood?!
It’s lipgloss, eleanorigby says so in post 8.
Or is it…?
That bit of plausible doubt makes my scenario look more and more likely all the time. You mundane people with your ‘list of book titles’ hypothesis. Humph.
That was bloody amazing. (You too, ZipperJJ.)
Not to be nosey, but whoever that is that’s “happy at prom”, she’s LOVELY and so is her dress. Gorgeous!
Thank you. That is (for folks playing along at home) Daughter aka my daughter. And I think she’s lovely, too. She went to prom with a friend–a very nice young man.
Re the lipgloss/blood–it might be, but it wouldn’t be human blood. Human blood dries to a rusty maroon almost brown color. Which of course leads to the sole conclusion:
How did alien blood get into my purse and is the “list of Tintin books” really an encoded message of sorts? Enquiring minds want to know! Did Nancy Drew ever do any space travel?
From here on I shall think of you as eleanorigby, interstellar jewel thief.
I keep meaning to say ta for the lovely poem…it’s very enigmatic, no?
Antinor–that has a certain ring to it!
Tintin stories? You have to be freakin’ amazed at the Dope!
My fav character is Mr Thompson.
Heh.
The Calculus Group, the Moon Explorers, the Castafiore Emeralds, the Black Gold Gang, and the Picaros are all individual cells of a terrorist organization called the Tintins. Say goodbye to your family. You can expect federal agents to come pick you up in the middle of the night. You’ll be spending the next few years at Guantanamo while they try to improve your memory about what you know about them.
CURSES! They’re on to me! Quick, flee–all is discovered! <jumps out nearest window>
