Love the use of Pantone to describe colors, along with “blinding” for the amount of money 👏

Thank you! My graphic design degree trained to think about color in pantone swatch! Lol

Love this one! The opening paragraph had me feeling hot and agitated right with her.

Another thumbs up for the Pantone references. As for "cockroaches the size of child’s hand," I am stealing it!

Simply delightful!

This is the future conservatives want.

Lol thank you Bill! Tell me! How is House of leaves!? Do you just love it?

I am savoring it. I'm fairly stunned at the whole concept of this in a book format. To imagine how someone could typeset it?!

It also helps that I bought a used copy, kind of beat up and dogeared. Would be even better if I'd chanced across it in a dusty pile at a garage sale or used bookstore.

Yes! I have a love that! The typesetting is fantastic!

Loved this. But I have to ask, did you consider "body packing" in an early draft or were you always going with the suit case?

Cheap & Crass's avatar

I really wanted to stick it in my butt but my writing buddy has the same prompt and he got dibs and he forbid me from butt packing.

Neither here nor there, but Steve McQueen went to a cancer clinic in Mexico for coffee enema treatments. I always wondered whether he took one lump or two.

Cheap & Crass's avatar

Oh my. Why go all the way to Mexico? My goodness.

For unapproved treatments not available in the U.S.

I would have thought that the one that goes by "Cheap & Crass" would automatically have first choice of any butt stuff. I can only imagine what your buddy chose as a pen name.

Lolol. He has a nice normal proper name. Lolol
