So, either the biggest, baddest crazy in Shadow Hills, or the one who for some other reason they're all afraid of. I'm guessing Dr. V. (with associated spare parts), or Prescott, or the girl that liked to play with knives (and has now apparently traded up to axes).

On the other hand, how great would it be if this was Frank here to save the day and confront his former master? Let's face it, he wouldn't look too out of place with how bad things have gotten.

Darren, we should probably stop with the jokes, it's pundaemonium in here.

Sylarpie = What happened to the infamous supervillain? He started a pastry shop, of course! Now with 0% brains!

Aaargh another cliffhanger! I used to be so restrained, waiting several days before checking the blog so I'd have loads to read at once. Now it comes straight to my inbox and I have practically zero self-control not to read it immediately!

Um the Muse said...

My guess is that guy's not ok, but why don't we axe him?

Sorry, Rubberduck. Couldn't help one last pun.

Um the Muse said...

Oh, no edit button. Sorry for the double post.

What did you mean, then, when you asked me to write the review on Amazon?

Eldoran said...

Geee, why is everybody so upset?
All these nice and outgoing people, its (probably) not their fault they have a "slightly" skewed view on reality. First Dr P. and V. dispensing wisdom, then all those bubbly people in the hallway. One even wanted to snuggle with them, so the others had to compete even harder for their affection, like those who wanted to invite them to a healthy meal or a nice jam session on the piano. Fleur offered just a friendly hug. So someone even arranged for the guards to join the party.
But Peter and the other killjoys just screamed and ran around like lunatics...

Rubberduck -
Hmmmm...I'm gonna go with the first option.

Yeah, too bad we couldn't get Frank in here on this one...and yeah, he would fit it, especially after the most recent guy (Chapter 23).

Alright, RB, you win this pun duel!

Cat -
Haha! That's what I like to hear: that I'm bad for people's self-control.

Um the Muse -
OH NO! Um has thrown down the gauntlet!

That was an ax-ceptionally bad pun, Um.

I think I messed up about the review...I thought you had already posted one, and I thought you meant you were going to go back and erase it and start over.

But if you haven't posted one yet, by all means, please do so!

Eldoran -
Haha! Yes, there should be an "alternative version" to every tale.

Swamp Monster - I just wanted some friends to spend the winter (and next 7 years) with!

Psycho Trick-Or-Treaters - Dang it, we just wanted to leave a post-it note for Grandfather!

Small Ones - Dude, we're like pastry versions of HAPPY FEET! We just want to communicate with you people so you'll stop eating us!

Um the Muse said...

Hmm. No way to comment on the next chapter, eh?

That guy is definitely at the top of my creeps list.

What I was talking about earlier was when I mentioned posting a review on Barnes & Nobles and then you said something like you'd prefer it to be on Amazon, or something.

Zesisms: uncontrollable leg spasms when you're scared. Dill has figured out the (not-so-)perfect way to stop them. Unfortunately, his method does require you to carry a spare pair of whitie-tighties.

Rubberduck said...

I can only repeat: Zoiks! Obviously this poor man has been on the wrong end of a fight with an armoured bear...

And we really needed some pyrotechnics and a guitar solo for Dr. V.'s line at the end there.

Of course, to keep with the pun theme he should have said something like, "There's no needle for that. Goodness, this isn't anaesthetic place, is it?"

Prendot = A brand of French bleach. Especially useful on flags. (BaZING!)

Um the Muse -
Sorry about that! Just fixed it.

Oh, actually, you can post the same review on Amazon AND Nook. If you don't mind, it would be really helpful if you could post on both.

I'll send out something about posting reviews on Nook/BarnesAndNoble.com soon, but it sounds like you've got that one squared away.

Rubberduck -
Grooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan.

You get a double whammy for two puns in the same sentence!

I'm gonna have to think about a comeback for awhile...

And yes, we totally need a big musical 'sting' for that last line of the good doctor's.
