[slatebreaker]

Do you like green eggs and ham?

[ oh, luceti. at first this sounds like an innocent question; however, it is far from either of those things. thanks to one onebluebamf, anne has been introduced to the edgey verses of one doctor seuss. and she has decided that all of the village should play audience to a grand recitation of the stuff. ]I do not like them, Sam

[onebluebamf]

... you really took this Dr. Seuss stuff seriously, huh?

[He's feeling tons of second hand embarrassment here.]

[slatebreaker]

Of course. Why? [ she senses that kurt might not be exactly pleased with her recitation. ] Did I make a mistake? I practiced...

[onebluebamf]

Ah! No no, you did great!

[But he was just teasing her. He kind of figured she'd realize it was meant to be a joke once she started reading.]

[slatebreaker]

I was worried I might have gotten the wrong meter. It is truly awkward, but not without its charm.

[onebluebamf]

You know, I think I have just what you need to get the meter down right.

[slatebreaker]

You do? Because I was looking at one of the other collections as well and it did seem a touch more difficult. I would earnestly appreciate any help you could offer, Kurt.

[onebluebamf]

Oh yeah. I have a 'recording', yeah? I found it with my DVDs!

[slatebreaker]

[ oh now that does sound promising. ]

And would it be possible to view this recording...sometime? [ she knew she sounded eager and it was really not polite to invite one's self over but, ah, if rachel lynde did it then why couldn't she? ]

[onebluebamf]

Well if you're not busy...

[He's got nothing doing!]

[slatebreaker]

[ carefully (and with an attempt at courtesy): ] There are...others at your home, yes?

[onebluebamf]

Yeah. There's my sister, Rogue. Also Missus O, when she's around. Gar is usually around too.

[slatebreaker]

So Rogue is your sister. [ she is pleased. ] We met, briefly. Will she be around?

[ because anne will happily come over if rogue will be around; however, a one-on-one situation would be highly inappropriate. ]

[onebluebamf]

Ah, not sure. I guess I could ask...

[He'll just have to FIND her. If she's at home, she could be blaring her headphones in her room and he wouldn't know.]

[slatebreaker]

I am in no rush to go elsewhere, today. I can wait for you to let me know, Kurt.

[onebluebamf]

Just a sec!

[Give him about twenty seconds to check in and, yes, Rogue is here after all. He shows up soon enough.]

Yeah, she's here. Do you know where we live? It's House 16.

[slatebreaker]

I do believe I can find it. I'll see you in a short while, Kurt?
