The squishy lake eyeball story was hilarious. Would you ever leave a “Blind Date” like that? Bestest joke evah!
Mark’s Ottermole and the tard one had me in stitches the whole way through. It’s classic Orr — totally sidesplitting from start to finish.
The Takahashi story was a little slow at first, but then it got its mojo.
“Signs” had me laughing right out of the gate. Unfortunately, it got really gross before it got better. If barf was the intended reaction, it’s a score.
I’m not sure whether “Hellhole Fishing” is supposed to make me laugh, but it does. It went on way too long, but okay. I’ll give it a pass.
I need to stop reading now, and go back to garden porn catalogs, for my own sanity. I’ll finish the book later.
Glad you liked ‘Music Hath Charms’, Rusty. 🙂 I might have to throw a few more jokes into my submission for volume 3, ‘Song of the Unicornado’ to meet your expectations of hilarity from my stuff. 😀 On the other hand, a story featuring both Dashiell Hammett and Clark Ashton Smith ought to be reason enough to take a look at, n’est pas? 😉
I’m cool with a hard boiled detective story.
Totally OT, but I really can tell the difference between a 300 year old Strad cello, and a new one. The Strad is deeper and richer. FWIW, my hearing’s still pretty good. I’d kinda like to keep it that way.
OT: buut over my lovely bout of pneumonia and other than the fact my left cheek and left eye are still a lovely shade of dark purple I’m bouncing back from my fall a week ago where my head and TV stand had a fight and the TV stand won. Damn me for wanting a nice, sturdy stand at the time I bought it to replace the cheap piece of crap I’d used for years. If I’d fallen to the left I probably would have been fine, even if I’d hit the basket I use for storage/coffee table that has some give to it and would probably have only caused minor bruising.
Ouch! So sorry you got an owie, Melany 🙁
I keep telling myself that even with my colorful eye Nicky is still a hell of a lot uglier than I will ever be! 😀
Inside and out.
