Thank you, Sophistie ...

I'm actually more concerned now with the adjustment required in regaining the use of my hand.

Well, Burly,

You're half-right, at least.

Which is 50% more than you usually are.

Just joking.

I hope it wasn't chocolate banana, Straightforward.

I appreciate that, Layla.

It's cool , Katray ...

That's often the primary goal of my posts, anyway.

Glad You Survived and are Well

"Foreshadowing: your clue to quality literature"

That was from a Doonesbury cartoon years ago. It popped into my head because you are so good with the foreshadowing and shades of Mr. Peanut.

Hmmmmmmmm...

Interesting! Sorry for your misfortune! ~L~ xoxo

Ouch!

Laughing at your expense here too; Sorry.

Thank you very much, Azur.

Oh, and to address a couple emails:

Yes, I am well aware that the blender did not, technically, injure my hand. The title was intended for dramatic effect.

Also, I may have overreacted to the bizarre behavior of the Mr. Peanut/Monopoly Guy.

Okaaay, we are going to go see MI 3 tonight, so I'll probably post something about that later on.

I like your formal turns of phrase such as

"afix" the blender. Painful for you but fun to read

No, it's fine to laugh about it (now), Ben.

It was kind of funny. Sorry for laughing at your expense.

Thank you, scriber ...

Oh, and everyone should rest assured that my posts shall now return to the traditional six paragraph maximum. Barring another unforeseen cataclysm.

My boyfriend once got a toothpick stuck in his foot!

I mean embedded really deep, too.

..crazy life, huh!

I think I'd be better off suing Manon ...

I mean, it was her door.

posted by Mademoiselle on May 5, 2006 at 11:37 AM | link to this | reply

Well, SURELY you could sue the company that

makes the blender. Right?

I appreciate you drawing that distinction, PassionFlower.

Thank you so much, microba ...

This story was a little more complicated to tell, than my usual shallow subject matter, but I think it came out okay. Certainly better than the frogurt did, at least.

And, hopefully, I never will, TAPS.

I'm sorry, but I have to point out that--

There's a very good reason WHY some of you girls are called, "Airheads"....LOL! Though I'm certain YOU'RE not one of them!!!!!!!!

lol, this was a great read.

I'm glad you shared it.

Yuk, what a mess but you "aint seen nuthin'" until you've seen a pressure cooker blow up that was cooking beets.

I no longer consider those people my friends, Amateur ...

we are now strictly acquaintances/classmates.

I think all household kitchen appliances should be banned, Ann ...

Just to be safe.

I hope you are recovering well. You might want to watch out the next time your friends handle any electrical devices.

That was a bad experience. I hate blenders too.

You've done well for the playwright's identity. Your prize is here. Thanks for playing.

Door to the outside, I mean.

It was her front door ...

I'm not sure if her apartment even has any other door.

posted by Mademoiselle on May 5, 2006 at 12:04 AM | link to this | reply

which door was it?

Thank you so much, Lensman.

Though I apologize again for the long delay.

Hopefully, once school's out, I'll be able to significantly lessen the "turnaround times".

P.S. Humor is my lifeblood.

Mademoiselle

Well, consider me a satisfied customer. That was terrific, and well worth the three-week wait ;-)

Injured by a blender without ever going near the thing...rather a brilliant twist...sort of a "degrees of separation" thing. I hope you'll pursue this talent you obviously have for clever, humourous writing.

I was just playing, Cesium, I know what it is.

I've even written about the Darwin Awards.

Thank you, Jason ...

Oh, and if anyone's wondering there's an eerie postscript about Mr. Peanut ... but I'll save that for the weekend.

Darwinian, as in did something stupid (Darwin Awards)

Without laughing at your pain,

a very funny ending.
