Quoth Quail:
Cue Homer Simpson forehead slap and "D'oh!" on my part. You are right;
of *course* Maxine's probably being sarcastic!
- Only after a similar brow assault did that occur to me, hours after I posted.
I was getting ready to tie Guys and Dolls action into the theme of
the book; the way Nathan Detroit was unable to commit, like Horst,
might’ve been a good entry point. Windust would be like that Sky
Masterson character, hustling Maxine off to Havana for Cuba Libres,
and plotting against Castro at the same time? ACFE would be like the
Salvation Army, Nicely Nicely Johnson could be…
High School Musical? Noooooooooooooo!
- Yeah, maybe one of the sequels instead. So hard to choose!
