It’s all KiWCS and bosoms and singing and my mum and Morris dancers and Belinda and tea cosies. Compelling reading.
Why would I do that?
If you don’t think I can get a few of vic-k’s persona into a chapter, you haven’t been paying attention. I can even do it while staying on topic.
If I have to.
Aren’t you supposed to be chasing cats or something? Or is it rats? which one is it that terriers go after?
I suddenly wonder if lack of grey matter will be a problem with the need for expanded worry…
Piggy,
The FAQ makes no mention of the NiaD Muse responsibilities. My Muse is attempting to “make plans” for Oct 25. Can you please inform said muse that NiaD is the sole priority of the day and each muse is expected to assist said muse’s participant in ANY way necessary?
You do NOT want to see what will be out put if there is insufficient coffee.
All life’s problems can be resolved with a Rocky quote.
And if that doesn’t work, deploy:
If your wife is not suitably convinced by any argument that involves NOT ONE but TWO Rocky quotes, well then I think you should seriously question whether you’re married to the right person.
While a Rocky quote or 7 are unlikely to convince the boss, there is no doubt in my mind as to the “rightness” of my partner. Although I’m afraid that the above quotes may raise the question in her mind…
As a back-up to PF’s Rocky Quote suggestion (credit where credit is due, that has the appearance of pure genius*), you could perhaps remind your dearest that plans that can be made can also be amended. To maximise potential for success, you may first want to remind her of several recent sacrifices you have made (it’s important that they’re at least within the last, say, 5 years. I know it’s weird, but apparently sacrifices you made when dating no longer count), ideally where your plans were amended to cater to her every desires. If there are no such examples then… try a third Rocky quote?
[size=85]*However, while appearance is important, I just tried the quotes on my wife and her response was underwhelming: Perhaps best described as mild bemusement followed by a condescending smile and a change of topic. I guess that counts for something although it has prompted me to post additional ideas just in case your wife displays similar immunity to the power of Rocky.[/size]
In that case I suggest you go with this wonderful third Rocky quote:
Nom, Did you get the “do you really want to compare lists?” response? I opted out of the comparison as I feel that will put me in an unrecoverable position.
Piggy, I’m beginning to wonder if you are the best person to take advice from. As inspirational as Rocky maybe, I begin to fear for my head (flying pans) and my voice (poor imitation of Mr Balboa at best). Can we find something more to my … style. Say Larry the Cable Guy? Or Ace Ventura? Maybe Elmer Fudd? I think I can pull those off better.
Even it a case like this Rocky is your saviour:
Thanks. I’ll send the medical bill to you…
I’ll be glad to dispose of it properly. 
In case it wasn’t obvious, I’m a big fan of the Rocky movies!

Didn’t make it that far, the change of topic was abrupt. Although clearly the comments had some impact because later on there was reference to my Stallone-as-Rocky impersonation. It seems there are many aspects to condescension: I learned several that night. 
Heaven help if I’d tried The Pigfender Rocky Method in a moment of need rather than curiosity.
Cruel. Just cruel.
(But wouldn’t you want to be a fly on the wall to see the response?)
My chapter is done. Do I send it to you now so you can make your story fit?
Dear Matt,
You are forgiven.
Love and hugs,
Rog
That didn’t take long…
BTW, I need you to add a few characters. Send me the character template and I’ll fill it in.
Uhmmm, folks … .
I tried to warn you. I really did. Don’t fret though, ya’all ull git d’ jist soon 'nuff.
