I will first cite a great article (written by me, of course) that discusses the historical and technical aspects of flouncing.
I will now give Open Saloon the exclusive article that covers the fine art of the un-flounce! Ha ha!
The bottom line is that flouncers who flounce and then un flounce after they fake flounce tend to lose the respect of the motley crew of writing colleagues who they hang out with.
Worse is when flouncers come back to lurk like a butler with a silent but deadly fart. I will call these the stinky flounce ghosts.
Some stinky flounce ghosts must eat lots of meat, liver paste, free range chicken eggs and brussel sprouts, cause dang!
DANG!
Go see a doctor!
But I digress. To continue, I actually know and adore many of Open Saloon's stinky flounce ghosts. They have been great friends and they are missed in my heart of hearts.
With the recent resurrection of the Saloon...I find that this place is easy to access, that a word spill is not as likely as it once was, and that the words fly across the screen!
So I am officially un-flouncing and will enjoy dodging the writing facists and expressing meself again. It will be great to see what you all do with Christine Hicks' idea of having spooky stories for October fun. I will find ways to horrify you, too.
This has been a great summer. I got gold fever and mangled tons of river rocks and sand to get this:
I think that it's still got some mica and pyrite in it. Then I went on EBay to see what it would sell for...maybe 99 cents. Dang.
It was beautiful though, going up into the Sierras to enjoy these beautiful scenes, most of which you have already seen at Facebook.
And this is my picture of the Summer.

Ciao for now!

Actually what I'm sayin' is how glad I am to see you here without all the attendant hangups and junk OS has had for months.
Oh. And ignore everything and anything the Damn Cat says. That goes double for what he does.
Nanatehay: You win! I ship during every odd numbered decade.
Boanerges: That gingery fellow is spending too much time at the church of Garfield, y'know.
Mumbletypeg: Then my work is done! You will stay and we will revive this joint.
my return is retro-happy whimsical
Art James for President!

Tink is bringing the beer...at least I hope it's beer...hey boanerges...taste this...does it taste like beer?
Bernadine: what what? Was something goin' down? A dustup perhaps? oooo. that would be fun. A big mock dustup debate. half of us could take the tea party side and half could be mock anarchists!
Scarlett: Elsa Lancaster has my huge forehead...
Dang, there's scanner, chicken man, chuck, skypixeo. The gang is here. I'm gonna chillax with some mad dog 20/20.
sounds great: "officially un-flouncing and will enjoy
dodging the writing facists
and expressing meself again. "
i never actually ran into any of them.
i promote extreme flouncing.
or rest from flouncing, whatever.
doesnt matter to me how smart you be,
its how wise you are
& how much i can absorb from u.
Damn Cat.
James: no, the writing nazis are at my pitiful write for pay sites. I need to either win the lotto or pitch a screen play to Tyler Perry. "Medea gets some!" How's that?
Boanerges: I hear that he can't resist bright orange plastic funnels...but you didn't hear that from me!
Trudge: I hope so! It would be so fine to see the gold market flooded with gold that people got for free! Ha!
grif: that is a brilliant idea! Rope 'em right back in here with us.
greenheron: It was more of a general strike...
O/E: I went to Amzaon and tried to find some leather and whips. LOOK WHAT I FOUND!!!!
