Lie me down

It's taken me a few months to figure out how to do this. Inspired by sabotabby, I present

Chocolate and Commas
The escapades of a dancing editor

Oh my God... that's brilliant!

[zingerella]

Thanks!

[ironed_orchid]

Hee! Brilliant!

[poldy]

That's funny. Now I want to take an editor to bed.

[zingerella]

Glad you liked it. We both giggled a lot at the time, after I finished apologizing.

I'm told we can be fun in bed, so long as you watch your usage. [Insert obligatory comma sutra joke here, if you must, but only if you must.]

I keep a copy of Fowler's Modern English Usage (2nd ed.) by my bedside (I don't read Sanskrit). And I've been known to make a very attractive young lady wait so that I could satisfy myself about a point of Latin syntax. (I made it up to her, of course).

[zingerella]

ooooohhhh....

[Sigh] A man who knows his editions of Fowler. [Sigh]

I did once break off a long, passionnate kiss to look up an etymology in the Concise Oxford. I cannot now remember what the question was, alas.

As long as you made the wait worth the while (and shared the answer with her, with footnotes [sigh...footnotes].

[human_loser]

Nicely done.

It's got comic timing and everything!

I need to get going on further installments of Yarn Ninja...

[zingerella]

Glad you like it. Took me a while to figure out how to present the vignette, given that I'm artistically incompetent. But, you know, in the dark, it doesn't matter how badly I draw.

[human_loser]

Ah, so very many things don't matter in the dark.

[bike4fish]

How do the lights get turned out when there are etymologies that might need to be looked up?

[zingerella]

Well, the bedside lamp is within easy reach.

Also, I can't draw. I'm not sabotabby.
