I read a fable the other day, and I'm afraid to report that it was absolutely horrid. Badly in need of repair. Worth no more than a harlequin. Worth no more than a third of a harlequin, even.

Quite awful, in summary.

So I've rewritten it. Mind, it's no literary masterpiece, but it's an age away from the dregs I drug it out of.

Ahem.

Goodness. Were you always this verbose?

[knaveswitness]

Always.

[baitswitch]

Even so, you write well, all things considered.

[knaveswitness]

Considered, he says, as if I weren't a genius of literary turn of phrase.

[a_parting_word]

Break, why do I feel a sudden air of malevolence...

[knaveswitness]

I'm not sure, hound. Canine senses tingling... ?

[a_parting_word]

...you're enjoying yourself.

[knaveswitness]

Does it show so clearly upon my scaly brow?

[knaveswitness]

Must a man be bored to create art?

voice;

[knaveswitness]

Thankfully I've never been a fan of the so called "modern" arts. I'm more familiar with the classics.

[verysmallpig]

O-oh! Do you know Owl?

[knaveswitness]

I know an owl.

[verysmallpig]

Why, so do I! M-maybe it's the Same Owl, being that there aren't many Owls here I mean...

[He fidgets a little bit with the front of his jumper.]

Do... do you happen to know any Poohs?

[knaveswitness]

I'm afraid that a Pooh is among the large list of people I am unacquainted with.

[ironmanic]

That curse was definitely, like, two weeks ago buddy.

[Break just sort of stares blankly... then idly rummages in a pocket, takes something out... and slams it hard on the counter a few times.

Then holds up a broken watch.]

My clock is slow!

[ironmanic]

In some regions, we call that broken.

Get a new one or find an editor. Quick.

[knaveswitness]

Broken, slow- it accomplishes the same result and that result is that my sense of time is off, off, off.

[tosses the watch- screw that watch.]

Might you point an old man towards an editor, then, my spry young gent?
