Proper Squid Etiquette
Have you ever had a dream where a giant mutant squid was created in a military laboratory on an island?
Have you ever had a dream where someone tried to take you out by feeding you to the giant mutant squid, but both you and the squid escaped?
Have you ever had a dream where the squid developed a taste for human flesh and started terrorizing the general populace?
Have you ever had a dream where you attempted to escape the squid by driving to Arizona, but somehow kept ending up in coastal towns where the squid would soon arrive?
Have you ever had a dream where you discovered you could escape detection from the squid by hanging from your feet from lamp posts?
Have you ever had a dream where the giant squid was finally defeated by AKMA, who wrote a thorough scholarly review of the squid, concluding with the statement, "It is improper squid etiquette to eat garlic with a fork."

As likely many people will, I'm keeping my link to Burningbird's blog, even though she's decided to stop blogging. There's a wealth of archives at that site that deserves recognition. I hope she keeps it online, and wish her the best in her writing endeavors. I'll certainly be keeping my eye out for anything written by Shelley Powers.
