do I let him live?

[celticdragonfly]

technomom and phoenixsinger will get this, anyway.

selenite and I are starting the one Peter Wimsey video we haven't seen yet. I'm making various commentary on what I'm seeing, the one guy is apparently eating beans for breakfast, ugh - he's eating them with a knife and fork?

selenite sez, "Must have fibro."

I hit him with the boppy pillow

Hmph. Silly man. Do you know how often Sam has to cut food for me, because I can't handle a knife and fork?

Um - he meant they were out of spoons.

Sorry, guess that fell flat.

I think this would be a good case study in meme proliferation -- do searches in LJ posts for "out of spoons" and track the spread from the initial post through the friends lists (though it occurs to me now that you wouldn't know how the flist had changed from when the post was originally made). (I'd seen the phrase several times and wondered what it meant -- since it plainly wasn't meant literally -- before someone finally provided a link back to the original post. Which I've lost, or I'd link to it here myself...)

Which one is this? Jazz & I need to finish the Whimsey's up.

Five Red Herrings

That's an interesting one, and pretty well done. We still need to see Gaudy Night, and some of the Ian Carmiachel ones.

I enjoyed Strong Poison & Have His Carcass very much - I think HHC is my favorite. Gaudy Night, well, it suffered. But it's so LONG. I think there were some important viewpoints that they wanted to get across, that rather than all being in Harriet's thoughts they put into Peter's words - but they weren't supposed to be from him, so that wasn't quite right. I still enjoyed it.

FRH is interesting in that I read it once long ago and don't have a copy, so I only have vague memories of it.

Oh, and FRH already has some LOVELY Bunter bits.

Like you, I liked SP and HHC a lot, but all the plot changes to GN really irked me, and I felt the video captured very little of the spirit of the book. Not that I'm very knowledgeable about script and such, but you'd think if they could take the very long HHC and do a good job with it, that GN would be possible, too. Maybe it's the density of GN. Or I did hear that there was a change of scriptwriter between HHC and GN...

Well, that is after all why they call it a "boppy" pillow--the better to bop you with, my dear. ;)

[Hey, *I* enjoyed the bad pun, but then, I'm a filker.]
