The Bar - Friday

Still open for business! Well, the Saturday bar is, at least. Fire marshall says too many comments here for safety.

holy crapoly, we broke the 200 mark!

Whirlochre said...

Difficult to answer that one as I either have to reveal myself as a dirty minded man or someone who hangs out with them and has canvassed their opinion.

So let's transfer the discussion to a fictional world of octupoids.

The ones who know, every time.

Are we good or what?

My MC in Paladin is very innocent in the beginning though she seasons as she matures. She still remains unattached, but there are some men who are attracted to her.

Bri said her being innocent/unattainable would just make her more attractive. I hope he's right.

kirsten saell said...

There's nothing wrong with a dirty mind, WO. All kinds of cool stuff grows in dirt.

Julie Weathers said...

WO, let's pretend you interviewed dirty old men. What would they answer?

Whirlochre said...

And here's me thinking this flowerpot was a hat.

kirsten saell said...

Hmm, Julie, all my MFCs are very non-virginal assassins or whores or widows or kept women...

kirsten saell said...

All right, not assassins. Independent contractors.

kirsten saell said...

That flowerpot IS a hat.

Whirlochre said...

'Get that stoopid flowerpot off your head and we'll spill the beans, bub'

Xenith said...

Now you're supposed to move on after 100 comments. What will Phoenix think?

kirsten saell said...

Gee guys, this almost makes me want to go hang out at EE's all the time like I used to.

Julie Weathers said...

I guess I don't have much imagination. Gen has sworn to a duty and that precludes her personal life, she is too busy fighting for it to have a social one.

Whirlochre said...

Maybe she'll unleash that tiger.

Julie Weathers said...

Now you're supposed to move on after 100 comments. What will Phoenix think?~

She will probably ban us all.

kirsten saell said...

Well, obviously Pheonix isn't doing his (her?) job, because if he (she?) was, we'd have been bumped long ago.

So there.

(Sorry, still can't keep track of everyone's gender. Part of me is hoping WO is a transsexual. Or at least fond of pink for everyday-wear.)

Whirlochre said...

Talking of furry animals, isn't it about McKoala time?

Luckily, I have a small packet of tasty Eucalypto Treeets. If I leave them by this unknown drunken minion from last night, maybe I can entice her in with cyber-scent.

kirsten saell said...

I have a whole race of people who live for their duty. They still get to boink now and then, though...

Julie Weathers said...

laughs Poor WO

Gen doesn't. She falls in love with a general, but they both decide in the middle of a war they can't afford to divert attention and part ways.

Whirlochre said...

I'm only ever transexual when squeezing between married couples on a crowded train.

Never pink. Mostly black. Though, having said that, I'm about to embark on a red phase.

kirsten saell said...

McK, one of the first minions. Her and Buffysquirrel and December and JTC and Elektra and Hawkowl and Ril and Rei...

Even stuffy, weird Urnama...

*sniffle*

I'm feeling all nostalgic...

kirsten saell said...

Gen doesn't. She falls in love with a general, but they both decide in the middle of a war they can't afford to divert attention and part ways.~

Now that's just cruel...

Whirlochre said...

I could have done with being there at the start, but so it goes.

kirsten saell said...

WO, next time you're in the neighborhood, we need to play a game of...pool.

Bring your camera.

Julie Weathers said...

I feel like an interloper. I've lurked for a long time, but never got the guts up to post.

Julie Weathers said...

He has a very nice cue stick.

kirsten saell said...

When did you come on the scene, WO? Must have been after I wandered away...

Whirlochre said...

We could phone dial-an-interloper for you.

You can't schedule the time but they have a great choice of bludgeons.

kirsten saell said...

I commented a lot. Did a few continuations--one of them was pretty popular. Never subbed a query, tho. Too chicken.

It's weird, tho, I have a real knack for them.

Xenith said...

I've decided to just forget the whole gender thing. I'm getting too many wrong :\

(Probably 5 pm for McK, I think she's on Eastern time)

Whirlochre said...

I posted numerous anonymous comments, most of which I've forgotten, and then an NB around June last year which got semi-lambasted, though not without a hint of curiosity.

Whirlochre said...

If she's a sensible Koala, she'll sleep in till Sunday.

kirsten saell said...

I feel a bit weird coming to the party after so long an absence. Pretty much as soon as I decided to start writing an erotic romance, I got to work and stopped goofing aroung online. But I had a blast hanging out at EE's and learned a ton of good stuff.

I think part of the reason I'm published now is because of how he edited my few continuations. Just seeing what he removed and what he kept helped me tighten my writing. My latest went through one minuscule round of content edits, now it's with the FLE. Part of that is because EE taught me to write as clean as possible.

Even when I'm writing dirty.

Julie Weathers said...

oh dial an interloper sounds good.

Kirsten, I posted my query for Paladin, but I am still thinking I need to hire you to do it. It is too confusing to me.

Whirlochre said...

That's inspired me to whip in some more continuations.

Julie Weathers said...

Xenith, I am a girl even if I do odd things.

Julie Weathers said...

The query thing is driving me nuts and I need to move on.

kirsten saell said...

Send me a synopsis if you like, Julie.

(kirstensaell@yahoo.com put something other than "please your girl all night long at 80% off) in the subject line)

I'll see if I can't come up with something. It's good practice.

kirsten saell said...

Punctuation's getting wonky-bonky. Need more cider.

Julie Weathers said...

(kirstensaell@yahoo.com put something other than "please your girl all night long at 80% off) in the ~

hilarious.

How does 80% off please your girl? I'm sorry, but I want it all.

Julie Weathers said...

Ok, puzzle me this.

What do you find most attractive about the opposite sex?

Whirlochre said...

Goodness. Only just realised I've been sat here for the past 45 mins with half a slice of toast dangling from my lip like a cigar.

Reality check to throw on some day clothes, and then I'll be back...

kirsten saell said...

Um...their flawless ability to remember birthdays, anniversaries and the kids' soccer schedules. Their reluctance to ever lay blame and their eagerness to share their feelings. The fastidiousness that leads them to never ever ever leave their dirty socks in the refrigerator and the milk in the hamper.

Oh wait...just enjoying one of my favorite sexual fantasies.

What do I find most attractive? The penis.

Xenith said...

If I'd picked you wrong I'd be worried Julie. Mind you, the way some parents name their kids, anything is possible :)

kirsten saell said...

Hey, WO, is it friday or saturday there?

Whirlochre said...

What do you find most attractive about the opposite sex?

Lucky you didn't ask that when I still had my Snoopy dressing gown on.

Whirlochre said...

Saturday — and sunny with it.

kirsten saell said...

Lucky you didn't ask that when I still had my Snoopy dressing gown on.~

See, every word only draws me deeper under your thrall...

Julie Weathers said...

laughs Xenith

Whirlochre said...

I never even knew I had a thrall.

Sounds like a half hamster half snake thing - or a canopy for trolls.

Julie Weathers said...

You know my husband, soon to be ex, was a bullrider. Oldest two boys are rodeo cowboys. Youngest son is a soldier. I'm surrounded by testosterone.

What I find most attrative about a man is a sense of humor. he doesn't have to be an entertainer, but he has to have a quick wit.

Julie Weathers said...

you have a thrall?

Whirlochre said...

I'm surrounded by testosterone.

Great title for the next Madonna album.

Julie Weathers said...

ugh I can't stand that woman.

Whirlochre said...

I love the idea of rodeos. It's such an alien concept in this country of garden fetes, tea rooms and polite rappers.

kirsten saell said...

My dad's most common lament: "I'm surrounded by ovaries!"

He is the lone hormone.

I love an alpha male--in fiction. In reality, I much prefer to be the boss-lady.

Julie Weathers said...

rodeos are awesome.

I used to ride wild cows at the ranch. It is such a thrill.

kirsten saell said...

Can't stand Madonna either. Did anyone here ever see Swept Away? I think that was what it was called. So bad it went beyond "so bad it was good" and right back into sucking donkey balls again.

Julie Weathers said...

I don't know what I like. There are different ways for a man to be strong.

I wanted to cry when I saw my oldest son holding his baby today. He is probably the toughest man I have ever known and I've known a lot.

Whirlochre said...

OK, that's sorted.

Another thing to add to my list of things to do before I contemplate dying: ride a wild cow.

I'll file that away under Go Skateboarding in California.

kirsten saell said...

Grew up in Alberta. The smell of cow poo is imprinted on my genes.

Julie Weathers said...

I used to do most of the riding on the ranch and when I brought in cows to artificially inseminate, my stepdad would let us ride them. Much fun.

Julie Weathers said...

Yes, Alberta would have cow poo.

Whirlochre said...

Trouble Helix.

kirsten saell said...

The guy at the hardware store was complaining how he looked like an idiot for taking his 10 month old son on the train at the zoo--there he was, all alone with a baby in his lap, on a teeny little train. toot toot

Every woman in the vicinity probably melted at the mere sight. Guys, you wanna get with girls, lug around a baby, or walk a puppy. Guys will think you look like a boob. Women will be all over you...

Julie Weathers said...

WO, if you ever come to the states, you should go to a rodeo school. It's an adventure you'll never forget.

Whirlochre said...

I rode a donkey in Spain once and I can see why people do it.*

Not sure I'd want to go too fast, though.


* Call me Mr Adventure.

kirsten saell said...

Okay, now I'm thinking of the chick with the "rewarding career" in Clerks.

Whirlochre said...

I regularly whip kids from their buggies to get discounts in bookstores.

Whirlochre said...

You simply have to stick this on a T-shirt.

Julie Weathers said...

Yep.

I took Brandon, oldest son to the hospital one night after he had been stepped on by a bull several times four hours earlier. He didn't want to bother me so he didn't call. His roommate finally called me so I took him to the hospital. He had blown the back wall out of both intestines. He was up walking the next day after being in surgery for hours after they tried to put him back together.

To know him and see him sitting there holding that baby so sweetly just made me melt.

Julie Weathers said...

Why does that tickle you two?

Julie Weathers said...

You are so sharp.

Whirlochre said...

This has been fun, but I've got to go.

I'll check in later — if only to see if JW has broken the record for 'being here'.

Love to you both - and all lurkers.

kirsten saell said...

Okay, in context from the movie "Clerks":

A woman and two convenience store clerks are discussing the obsessive compulsive behavior of a customer. She tells them there have been studies done and this behavior is only found in school guidance counsellors--because they have such menaingless careers. She then explains that she has a very rewarding career: "manually masturbating farm animals for artificial insemination."

kirsten saell said...

Love to you too, WO.

I am your slave... or whatever.

kirsten saell said...

Cows and sex are just humorous, Julie.

Julie Weathers said...

loves to WO

kirsten saell said...

I've gotta go too, it's almost 1 a.m. here. Much as I'd love to stay...

Julie Weathers said...

My editor once worked on a very nice stud farm that had gone into bankruptcy. The farm manager had to get the accountant the bank sent out to approve everything before he could buy it.

The manager asked Diane to go explain to the accountant what an AV was. She told the accountant they needed AVs so they could collect the studs for artificial insemination.

He wouldn't approve it until she explained why they needed AVs. She said, "AV are artificial vaginas and we need then today for a stud called Master Hand." He just let her order what they needed after that.

Julie Weathers said...

Me, too. I am just getting ready for bed.

kirsten saell said...

Too effing funny!

Ah, good times...

I'll come back tomorrow and see if anyone's still here. If not, maybe I'll delurk at EE's once in a while to show I'm still alive.

Nice chatting, Julie.

Cheers.

Sylvia said...

Someone forgot to lock up, looks like there are squatters!

Julie Weathers said...

We were just cleaning up.

Wonderwood said...

Wow, the bar is still open? Is it possible I'll have the last word?

Word.

Julie Weathers said...

*pokes head up from behind bar.

Hey, just cleaning up.

Word to you, too.
