Morning, folks. Remember that I was stuck on my story last night? Still stuck this morning. But I'm going to wing it and push through. If it sucks, it sucks. That's what rewrites are for, right?

It's Friday, so: here.
There's a book (one of Spike Milligan's ones maybe) which does the "Once upon a time, long, long ago, in a land far, far away..." opening, then spends an entire paragraph deconstructing it,
There's a book (one of Spike Milligan's ones maybe) which does the "Once upon a time, long, long ago, in a land far, far away..." opening, then spends an entire paragraph deconstructing it, first claiming that it wasn't actually all that long ago - and gives a date - then retracts the bit about it being far away. I think it was Chipping in the forties (?) the story actually took place, though it has been years since I read that.
And it isn't quite the Dead Horse Trope that it ought to be, thanks to a few television shows and films which are reigniting the fairy tale / fable storytelling methods.
In a village of La Mancha, the name of which I have no desire to call to mind, there lived not long since one of those gentlemen that keep a lance in the lance-rack, an old buckler, a lean hack, and a greyhound for coursing. An olla of rather more beef than mutton, a salad on most nights, scraps on Saturdays, lentils on Fridays and a pigeon or so extra on Sundays, made away with three-quarters of his income.

I'm sure she wouldn't want my poa—nevermind.
I have a... IDK what the hell it is, but it is meant to be poarn (I don't really need to warn you, but yeah - most likely not safe for young eyes) on my blog from waaaay back. There's a reason I'm not asked to write it more often.
Also fiance has a very fast growing beard. He'd probably have to shave every day to be baby faced. Heck everything below his nose is covered, even up to his lips! lol
