RE: Exquisite Corpse: A Perfect Day For A Murder ... Chapter 6
Bravo @blockurator, @calluna, @franexito, @blueteddy, @foxyspirit, @fromage and @quillfire. I thoroughly enjoyed each of your chapters. The twists would make O. Henry proud. Perhaps another round of chapters is in order.
Quill, I managed to get a hold of your quiz and have provided my answers for your perusal.
- He nicked himself shaving.
- Harrods Coffee Bar.
- The window swung; out.
- The floor was; sticky.
- Kratie.
- Project Prometheus.
Bonus question. She wore a raspberry beret.
@jbreheny,
You, my friend ... are hired!
We need to start keeping folks honest. I have noticed that a non-trivial number of people have developed vague, yet superficially pithy sounding comments ... capable of being copy-pasted into the comments section of almost any article:
Hmmm. I do not recall Shakespeare opining about the perils of Artificial Intelligence.
I smell a rat.
MY OWN MENTOR, @old-guy-photos, who I have long-suspected of being unmoved by poetic rendition, seems to have developed an unusual fascination with the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle: When in doubt, trot out quantum physics.
Quill
Lol, you really did nail it brother. There’s not a thing I can add.
But... I will.
I do believe that Shakespeares latest and unpublished works delved more into robotics but alas we shall never know for the Bard has shed his mortal coil to leave is wondering. Prithee, forsooth and such.
Double slit experiment anyone? Anyone?
@jbreheny,
:-) :-) :-)'ing
Quill
Oooh, obfuscate the issues and bamboozle the ignorant masses with.... physics!
"Here in the bushes, Juliet ... uploading code to GitHub." -Hey. That sounds legit! Why is that among your examples of sketchy sounding generic comments? I like that one. :)
Speaking of "being unmoved by poetic rendition," I highly recommend Ken Lizzi's novel "Thick as Thieves." [ I might even buy you a copy if you surrender to me your email address...if you read ebooks...that's how much I like that novel! I would buy it for friends! ]
@carolkean,
I'm already direct-wallet-transfer-indebted to you (I snuck that in there just for the hyphens). Everyone buys their own books. It is the price of erudition. :-)
Quill
Ah, but if I really love a book, I'll buy it for a friend.
So far, nobody else has loved a book as much as I did. It's really weird. Well, there's been ONE exception: "Rape: A Love Story," by Joyce Carol Oates. I sent a copy to Jody Ewing of Iowa Cold Cases, and she totally gets it and loves it. Woot! I score! (Every once in a hundred tries, it might happen)
The kind you find in a second-hand store.
