DEADLINE -- FRIDAY, 2.13.2009
This very difficult Wordle Challenge is perhaps *too* difficult. We shall see, eh? Identify the novel from this, its randomized first line -- or just give the author a go:
Good luck. Have fun!

Is it The Accidental Tourist? I don't think so but this is such a fun idea I just had to throw my hat into the ring.
ReplyDeleteEven if I missed the ring entirely.
No -- but I like that book, too. This Wordle Challenge is a hard one and I confess to pandering to my own (sometimes, ummm, strange) taste. It's a post WWII recuperative German work... and I dunno, now, why in heck I chose it! Still, it is doable. Don't give up.
ReplyDeleteSorry... even if I cheated I couldn't get it...
ReplyDelete(And you know I am not above cheating, but I want to draw another judicial "hmmmmm.)
Fresca,
ReplyDeleteI suppose time really ought to be up on these Wordles -- and time to fess up that no one seems terribly interested. Sob.
I will make a deadline sometime next week.
Um, what's the deal with the profile icon? An impaled unicorn? A lion with a teeny ivory tusk stuck through its little head?
Hope you're doing well!
LOL!
ReplyDeleteThe profile photo is a picture of maybe my most favorite ever costume on Star Trek. Someone took this little dog, which looks like maybe it was a border terrier?, and stuffed it into a fun-fur outfit and stuck a horn on its head.
Now, I am an animal lover as much as your average sentimental American (I loved "Eight Below," which you mentioned today, even though some of it's sad, which made me weep buckets), and the poor think looks limp--I always assumed because it was hot (this was LA, after all, though it could be boredom, as I gather TV shoots are long and drawn-out affairs, or it could simply be stupified by my beloved William Shatner's ego)--but nonetheless this outfit causes my heart to swell.
There's something about my species at play that makes me love us, because it can, at its best, reveal our endearingly ridiculous side.
While I am in love with 1960s Trek, I am no pusher, but...
on the off chance that you should care to watch the episode with the little dog ("The Enemy Within") it's here, free on CBS:

It is one of the show's best episodes for sheer cheese, hysterical overacting, which also makes my heart swell with delight.
If only we would stick to such endeavors...
