PRONUNCIATION ASSISTANCE FROM THE AUTHOR. As a way of nudging the humor along, one ought to read the phrase "general ennui" as jean-ur-oll ah-nwee. Thus it becomes an audible foreshadowing, a fore-echoing if you will, of laissez-faire.

Thanks, Lunais! I have very few vases (or aspirations towards vasing) myself, so the problem clearly needs to be addressed.

lolll! This was a funny post. I really like this sentence tho: The flowers of life wilt in the vases of the young. Really deep!

No, I remember. I had considered adding "Backseat of David Lynch's Station Wagon (give a famous filmmaker a taste of his own horror)." But I didn't think that would be very nice.

Oh, Mr. Hischier! Have you already forgotten the d...

Oh, Mr. Hischier! Have you already forgotten the despairing words of the great David Lynch, lamenting the watching of films "on your fucking cellphones! It's a weakness."

Not that I agree with him.

PS The men were very old and neither wore socks, though the temperature minus wind chill (wind chill does not affect the ankles) was 12 degrees. They referred to each other as James (pronounced Chames) and Hoshpat (spelling verified). One of them held the handle of a hacksaw in his left hand. The other hummed when not speaking.

Congratulations on completion! When can I get my hands on a version? So curious Brian...so curious.

See? Editors unmask the obvious tongue-in-cheek error. Or else maybe the author types too fast. Or else maybe it was a cry for help, like a suicide letter or a pregnancy.

I sing the editor electric!

But who can tell a worthy editor? Neither author nor editor. That alone we know to be true.

Anyway, you must forgive me, because I have to play my part. Please read the first line of the second paragraph of this blog.
"I am big fan of the destructive powers of an editor."
I am big fan? That's like saying, "I am editor" or "I am Grog."

Your thoughts are always an enlightening delight. An "en-delighten-ment"? See? That's what happens when I try to author.

Write on.

John K has a recent article on his blog that deals with much the same issue. Some samples are on my tumblr eatablebymachines.tumblr.com.
