ABSTRUSE said:Lil E: love it, you captured the perfect Mom.
lil_elvis said:Over dessert, his mother couldn’t resist another one of her favorite subjects. “Now that you’re home again, maybe you should meet a nice girl, and get over that bitch Letizia who broke my son’s heart.”
TheEarl said:L: I hate to be picky, picky picky, but I didn't like the 'who broke my son's heart'. It seems a little forced to me. I think you could lose it and the rest of the sentence would tell the backstory just as well.
I love the character of the mum though. As Abs said, superbly captured.
The Earl
cloudy said:There, in bold letters staring back at her, was another email from Rick.
TheEarl said:That's fucking good.
If I was to be extra, extra picky (as L allowed me to get away with it earlier), I'd say that mentioning Rick's name wasn't necessary. You say this is the start, so I'm presuming more will be forthcoming and you'll introduce the character of Rick there. If you curtailled this sentence to finish [/i]"...was another email"[/i] then I think it would flow a little better, giving your audience that little tease of not knowing who it's from. The name drop cuts the mystique a little and personally I think it'd be better to start mentioning his name after this passage.
JMHO.
It's really fucking good though.
The awed Earl


So I started back to my car but there was a guy standing by it and he didn’t look nice but I was tired and I just wanted to go home so I walked past him and reached for the door but he stopped me.
He said he had a gun in his pocket and he wanted all my money but I didn’t have any ‘cause it was all in my duffle so I told him that. He said he didn’t believe me ‘cause he knew I was a dancer at the club and he said he knew I got lots of tips. So I pulled my coat up a little and turned around, I said, “You see a wallet in those back pockets you dumb jerk?”
He said, “No but I see something worth just as much. Take your clothes off.”
I said, “What the hell for?”
He said, “Cause I wanna see you naked and I got a gun.”
I said, “You only said you got a gun but I ain’t seen one and if you want to see me naked your gonna have to pay like everyone else.”
He said, “Pay? I’m trying to rob you, bitch.”
I said, “Well I ain’t got any money and you call me bitch again and I won’t even take off my coat. Now you got money or what?”
He said, “Ok, how much?”
I said, “Theres a $30 cover charge plus you gotta buy 3 drinks. And since this is a private dance that’s another $25 and that don’t count the tip.”
He started kickin’ at the snow and said, “But that’s like 50 bucks and I only got 40.”
I said, “Give it to me.” And when he did I flashed my boobs at him. His eyes got real big and I kicked him in the crotch and jumped in my car and drove away while he was lyin’ on the ground holding his crotch and cryin’ like a girl.

In the meantime, I'm painting my nails right now.

Cumming.logophile said:Hehe...
I grew up in a little town in Iowa.
Down the highway from my town was an even littler town (Senator Harkin is from there) called Cumming, Iowa.
For their centennial celebration, the parish ladies had shirts made that said:
ICumming.
Sold like hotcakes. The ladies were confused, but just so pleased.
