Heteronormative? Is it just me or is the weirdness of a thought directly proportional to the number of sylables used to describe it?

It’s just you, Jason, you litero–logico–historico–grammatical prodigy you. (Not that I would know).

Re “Short(est) Stories”. I never could resist a literary challenge. My first (and possibly last) 140-character twiterature tweet, entitled, “The Critic”:
---
Words
Traitor swords
Wizarded with skill
Kill
In black ink
I sink
Trading for breath
Death
Dazzled by harps in my deviled fire
I look up
He is higher
He damns my verse
WORSE

Rolley for shortness, how about:
Rich tycoon murdered
pretty heir suspected
shrewd hero saves day
butler did it.

Jason, don't forget:
and hero gets the girl
..or does that go without saying?
Posted by: Ben W | May 20, 2009 at 01:16 PM
Not nescessarilly Ben. Sometimes getting the girl forces the hero to settle down. Other times the hero and the girl are such an odd couple that it really wouldn't work(Perry Mason never falls in love with his clients though sometimes his PI does). Other times the hero is something of a goofball with women or just unlucky. For instance, for some reason Magnum is just unlucky despite the fact that all women like him at first, which arrangement is necessary to continue the show: see the first reason.
Oddly enough the Butler seldom really does it either.

Let’s exonerate that poor butler once and for all……..
