    1. Hey Dawn! Thank you. Tho normally I feel like throwing bricks at him, especially when there's so many spares of him running about. Indigo x

  2. I think 'Difficult must have been messing around with the Cephnet to be duplicating like that. Hope the soup was good.

    1. Hey Paula! Aah, but when this was written, CephNet was but a gleam in its creator's eye. Still, the effects could be rippling backwards? Stranger things have happened. Roth x

    1. Hey Eolist! I do, and you're in the Inner Circle, Shorty; we don't share the EolistBlend with just anybody. And yes, the soup was good! Roth x

    1. Hey Jen! Not as yet, but they're hoping to open a new seam soon, so keep your fingers crossed. And thank you, tho as I've said before, I just write it all down. Indigo x

  5. Just so I'll know, do you call him 'Difficult for short?

    1. Hey Murr! I'm a lazy cuss, and lose syllables wherever possible. So yes, I started calling him 'Difficult during those happy times at St. Mungo's. But since THE CEPHALOPOCALYSPE, he is of course now called Max. I'm still not over that. Roth x

  6. Ernest Hemingway's The Old Man And The Sea is probably one of my favorite books, ever.

    And I'm glad iDifficult finally showed up, and with 3 more people to boot!

    1. Hey Mia! It's a favourite of mine, tho I couldn't say why. Perhaps it's the simplicity of the text? I have a lovely unabridged audio version of it read by Donald Sutherland, too. And yes, he'll get there eventually. Indigo x

  7. So iDiffcult is one of those friends that repeats on you?

    Anyway, for some reason The Old Man and the Sea bored me to tears. And it's one of his shortest, go figure. I like his other stuff. But maybe it didn't appeal to me in the same way that Zen and the Art of Motorcycle maintenance didn't appeal to me. Too contemplative? Need to be in the mood for it? I don't know.

    1. Hey Margaret! He does indeed, tho I couldn't eat a whole one. As for the Hemingway, who knows? I struggle with lots of books; I've been trying to read Steinbeck's EAST OF EDEN after whizzing through the wonderful THE GRAPES OF WRATH and all his short books. Just hard work, no idea why. But yeah, maybe we need to be in the mood? Indigo x

  8. He's amazing. But so are you! What a patient man! Of course, I would wait forever for good curry. But I might hesitate to take a chicken to a curry shop. But that's just me.

    1. Hey Linda! Oh, I'm not so patient. We never got to the curry house, the soup was that good. But yes, if he didn't exist, I'd have to invent him. Much like Yavin the badger. Glad you enjoyed this one. Indigo x

  9. All good things come in threes. And sometimes in chicken costumes. Now, tell me more about this wooden leg, I am very curious.

    1. Hey Ziva! It's from an antique mannequin of Al Jolson. Indigo

  10. I can't help but wonder: Was it chicken soup that iDifficult brought you?

    1. Hey Mike! Nope, but I wouldn't have minded; vegetable soup brings out the worst in him. And when three of him are in one place? Wowsers. Open. A. Window. Roth

  11. All that build up for a bus joke? 4/10 must try harder ;-)

    1. Bobby! A pleasure to see you, fella! Well, sorta. 4/10? For a poor punchline? Hey, I'll have you know I rarely indulge in them; you should be grateful that I'm pandering to the outdated comedic stereotypes, and that my hand was forced by a mandate from the masses. Help, help, I'm being repressed, etc. Roth
