On a planet far far away in a galaxy actually pretty close, our roving candid intergalactic camera captured the onslaught of the lavender horde of beemulls as it began the attack on the Great Living Pillar of Darkness. I won’t kid you. Things did not go well for the Great Living Pillar of Darkness.
The Bel Canto Rainmaker brought forth her splendid sound , and the thatched roofs peeled back, and the walls crumbled, and the doors disintegrated into mounds of quivering slivers, and the populace dropped to the ground in rapture, and the mill wheel tumbled from its moorings and fell on its side, and the parched fields shivered in anticipation, and the clouds gathered in force, and it rained for maybe ten minutes, tops. And the sun came out more brutally than ever. And now the drought, if anything, is worse, and the village is pretty much in ruins. Thanks a lot, Bel Canto Rainmaker.
With sentinels on guard outside her pen of detention, Hannah Belle Lecturn rages red.
Four Seasons in Three Pictures
spring or summer, check this tree
and this is what you’re gonna see
when autumn comes a ramblin’ by
this here sight will blast your eye
you can tell it’s winter ‘tho there ain’t no snow
by the tree’s wintry habit to leafless go
Night gathered the purple fringed folds of her garments together and lifted them clear of the mountains that surrounded Los Angeles …. Hurry, sun, hurry!
Sister Aimee takes an overwrought stab at dawn.
The key word in the kwiz is ‘regularly’. Though it’s common knowledge that Buster did everything listed, the only activity he undertook ‘regularly’ was hanging out in his lair under the Mojave Desert. There he escaped the hustle bustle of Hollywood and relaxed with his harmonica and several trained mice.
Buster Keaton regularly:
a. swam to Catalina, ate a fish sandwich, and swam back to Santa Monica.
b. visited his secret lair hidden under the Mojave Desert.
c. slept in a canoe.
d. fell into his swimming pool while wandering around blindfolded.
e. remodeled his oil derricks and vice verse.
These are the facts we’ve gathered up to this particular moment in time.
1. The puffy parrot was seen boarding the bus shortly after the noon siren sounded.
2. The bus, devoid of passengers, was found floating off City Pier by a Venetian merchant.
3. Officer Chip Hargity found the note pinned to the visor above the driver’s seat.
4. The note, in a barely legible scrawl, reads as follows: If you want the passengers returned alive, deliver all the crackers to Peachum’s daughter at the warehouse. I want those crackers.
Opinions, ladies and gents?
Three little maids who, all unwary
Come from a ladies’ seminary
Freed from its genial tutelary
Three little maids from school
A very nice production of ‘The Mikado’ was performed by some flowers at the park yesterday. These three were a delight as the three little maids. The flower playing YumYum (center) was particularly enchanting.
A pair of twins crossed the granite apron above the tree line. They paused for a moment to contemplate the sheer wall of rock to be conquered rising high before them. Adjusting his toga, the first twin, Nicetus, slowly but surely began his ascent, carefully finding footholds for his sandals and niches for his fingers to grasp. Nasteus, arms folded, observed his brother’s progress with a cruel frown. Then, slowly but surly, he followed Nicetus up the face of the cliff. On reaching the top, Nasteus snarled, “Well, what’s that supposed to prove?” Nicetus shrugged in the manner of Atlas.
Yes, all this merely to get ‘slowly but surely’ and ‘slowly but surly’ into the same paragraph.
