Awwwww. This is wonderfully sweet and funny. *Lovelovelove*

I am so very glad you liked the story. And I wanted it to be funny and sweet, but only really sweet near the end, mostly funny before that. I hope I did well. Thank you for commenting.

LOL! So funny, and sweet, too.

This line, in particular, made me howl:
Joe looked down at the sword he had taken from the lake. "Um, does this incident make me the new once and future king?"

Ah, Joe, I think it's only legit if Methos was wearing samite.

Oh, but it's the thought that counts! I love this image!

dswdiane December 23 2008, 03:26:07 UTC

Thank you for loving the image. Thanks for commenting. I appreciate it.

Um, darlin,' thank you so much for commenting, but you were one of my beta readers. I know you loved that line.

Thank you, again, sweetie. I just hung up from chatting with you on the phone and I love you dearly.

"Tree's no fun; it fell right over"[/firesign] -- well, while we're among the Talky Tina generation.

Great fun. Is there anything better than the Methos and Joe show on the road?

dswdiane December 23 2008, 03:27:46 UTC

I can't tell you, unovis, how happy I am that you liked the story I wrote. I so truly respect your opinion.

No, there is little better than Joe and Methos on the road.

Methos and Joe! Awesomely drunk Methos and Joe and a misbehaving tree! This was fantastic. I love Methos' movie references and the tree and his slightly-bitter-but-not-enough-to-sour-him-on-MacLeod attitude.

Thank you so so much.

dswdiane December 23 2008, 03:31:13 UTC

I am so pleased that you caught and understood the movie references and that you caught and understood the "slightly-bitter-but-not-enough-to-sour-him-on-MacLeod attitude." Thank you for your lovely comments and thank you for commenting. It was a very naughty tree, yes?

merriman December 23 2008, 03:45:05 UTC

I love all the movies you referenced!

And yes, very naughty.

What a hoot! I loved the exchange between Joe and Methos. Drunk Joe and Methos *g*. Can you imagine the site of those two when Duncan entered the cabin? We need more of this story. Part two?

dswdiane December 23 2008, 03:36:41 UTC

Thank you, Pat. Actually, I have imagined part 2 of this story involving Joe waking up to a snowball fight between Duncan and Methos outside the cabin. But all I have is a scene. I'm not sure I have a story.

I am quite sure that Duncan's flabber was gasted when he walked into his cabin and found the two totally blitzed guys on the floor. (thank you jacquez for the phrase "flabber was gasted")

I am so very happy you liked the story, Pat. Thank you for your kind words.

am quite sure that Duncan's flabber was gasted when he walked into his cabin and found the two totally blitzed guys on the floor.

Oh yeah, and one guy with a Christmas tree on top of him! *grins* I'm glad Duncan was happy to see his friends. This story was so much fun.
