But that's just the point TGIF.....they're LAUGHING! That usually means that they're not all that PO'd. Who knows what embellishments and "inhancements" Squidge added in the telling of the tale? The fact that he's home, safe, sound and no worse the wear for what he's been through, Ma and Pa are quite relieved. They'll hear him out as to what the fishwraps didn't tell......and he'll probably tell all of it.TGIF wrote:They may be laughing now, but the evening isn't over yet.
If I was Quentyn, I wouldn't relax until I heard what they said once they finished laughing.
TGIF
I'm going to be more interested in Pa's, and to a lesser degree Ma's reaction to the censure. And I wonder if Gilder is going to have a 'problem' on his hands now.

How frikkin petty is THAT?Tom Mazanec wrote:My cousin ended up in jail for throwing a snowball at an unmarked police car. His parents were out of town, so his aunt had to bail him out.
What a pile of crap! And the cops have the nerve to bitch that people don't seem to like them very much or want to help them?

Ironically, that cousin later became a cop. He suffered a heart attack while chasing down a child rapist and died on the operating table twice because he waited too long to seek medical attention. He still has memory problems because of this blood interruption and had to retire on disability (He also had a great story to tell about leaving his cop car in park while he chased a suspect. Only it was in neutral. Rolled down hill, totaled a fire hydrant, bad guy got away...he is still surprised he kept his job.).

At work (in a group home) we are instructed to call 911 and go to a hospital if we experience the symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. EVEN IF we are the only staff member on duty and have to leave the residents unsupervised. This is the ONLY time we are allowed to go AWOL and leave the ground with no other staff member present.

Hey it's a crappy job but someone has to do it.Oh, c'mon. Once upon a time, your parents changed your diapers. It's pretty hard to take anyone -too- seriously after that...

I almost posted at that "I'd rather not remember the next few hours if you don't mind" to ask who was he narrating this to? His diary, a reporter, a guardsman, somebody else, or just part of a first-person narrative?

As I said, "No worse the wear considering what he's been through and that especially means the beating. If I were in his place.....no, I wouldn't mention the beating....THAT would scare the hell outta Ma, and worry Pa. He's been trying to "explain" all the run-ins with Mulharney, and the harder he's tried to be serious about it, the harder they've been laughing.RDB wrote:Including the part about being beaten half to death?Sharuuk wrote:The fact that he's home, safe, sound and no worse the wear for what he's been through, Ma and Pa are quite relieved.

As to narrative? A purely WAG here, but quite a few of us have theorized (with no supportive evidence whatsoever) that Quentyn could possibly be telling a protoge' about his life or even a kit or grandkit stories of "The First Questor of Freeman Downs" in his golden years. This could all be being related by a very old and grey Quentyn sitting in a rocking chair next to the fireplace with a passle of kits at his feet and in his lap......we really don't know....but a few of us have posited this line of thought.

I don't know which webcomic coined the phrase but I still find it humerous when I remember it "death aint as permenent as it used to be."
