God, I love that story. I’ve always been fond of the party game where everybody takes a turn reading it aloud. You go until you crack up. When you do, you pass it on.
Didn’t Jim die recently? Truly, a sad day.
Oh, and ready…I wouldn’t take this all that personally. The SDMB is full of smartasses who like drive-by mocking more than they really should. At least your thread gets comments…
Forgive me if I’m wrong, but isn’t this Jabberwockian irony sort of the whole point to the OP?
Or am I being whooshed?
blanch There’s an MST3K version of this?
Oh, dearie me.
BTW, does anyone have a copy of the original Eye of Argon, including the illustrations? I’ve only seen text reprints.
It was posted to rec.arts.sf.written back in 1996 by someone with WAAAAAAAAAY too much time on his hands.
No you are right on the money. I think most people saw that. But apparently some people actually thought it was 5 accidental ironies.
Anyways, I have enjoyed the feedback and I apologize for being sensitive to the mockery. I particularly enjoyed Slavo and Johnny Bravo’s replies.
