Over on the Skinner/Krycek yahoo group

That pot-stirrer ursula4x challenged everybody to write a Mary Sue. "I don't care if you have never written three words. I want a brief snippet that features a Mary Sue of you. Everyone should write at least one Mary Sue. It's fun. Just give it a try."So, as I was sitting here agonizing over the TENTH part of the 'Retrieval' series, guess who started

I love Mary Pauline Rainwater. However I will not believe she is a Mary Sue of you. You just captured her and how she was handling Alex Krycek, ex-FBI, Consortium agent, possible KGB and assassin.
"Ah done raised up eight or ten kids and most o' them boys and it
ain't much thet gets past me" Very fun to read.

Well, I'm not 60 (although I feel it today, I'm actually 44) and I'm not much of a shot. Otherwise, there ain't a whole lot of difference. *G*

I have 'raised up' eight kids, and I do weigh enough to put a hurt on somebody, lmao.

I'm so glad you enjoyed Mary Pauline! She's really an amalgam of me, my mother, and my aunt, and I'm always tickled when people like her.

OMG! I just love Mary Pauline.

*ahem* assets.

I'm so glad you're still getting a kick out of Mary Pauline, lol.

You know, every time Mary Pauline tells a story, I hear this story in my head bout Aunt Una from Arkansas telling my dad when he was a little boy to wash his hands when he used the bathroom.

And he said, "But Aunt Una, my thingy was clean!"

And she said, "But yer hands weren't and what'd you use to hold the durn thing?"

He went and washed his hands. With that sigh that means you've give up arguing.

*is a hick too, 3 of my grandparents are from Arkansas*

Bwahaha

Oh, gosh, I can just hear your aunt and dad, lmao.

I gotta work that into an MP story, sometime. With your permission?

Oh, sure. It's too funny not to share, and I'll never do anything this great with it.

Mary Pauline is a hoot. What a great fun snippet!

Thanks, Laura, glad you enjoyed it. *G*
