@CardinalMikeJam @CNEnglish1 Wow!!!

@radiodetectives @spreaker Hi Adam! Love the podcast. In this JD episode, the evil Secretary got the fake will in the bank box by putting it in with some stocks and bonds. That is where the niece said she found it. So he actually got HER to unknowingly plant the game will for him! Good episode!

@vinn_ayy I will not be sleeping tonight. Those are being unnerving.

[Shannon Carpenter @spinerva]

@FrankConniff Truly you have suffered. (As delightful as Jackey is, and she is very delightful, the movie is still painful.)

[Shannon Carpenter @spinerva]

@JayHulmePoet I like the way you think

[Shannon Carpenter @spinerva]

@CNEnglish1 forget quiet quitting, boss. I’m going to be an eye-servant

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

Word of the day is a reminder of ‘eye-servant’ (16th century): one who only works hard when the boss and others are looking.

[Shannon Carpenter @spinerva]

@FrankConniff Keep the jokes coming. I want you in top form tomorrow night for the Ed Wood film!

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

Word of the day is the Dutch ‘uitwaaien’, to head out into the wind as a way of clearing the mind and soul: literally an ‘outblowing’.

@UrsulaV My guys ate a mouse yesterday. Not the furry kind. The wireless variety .

@iconawrites Eh, he sounds high maintenance to me. I wouldn’t have time after my long morning walls to be anyone’s amanuensis.

@scalzi Get to the scritchings, Scalzi

@GGmadeit I meant dog!!!! But it looks like he wouldn’t argue with me!

[Shannon Carpenter @spinerva]

@GGmadeit That is one handsome, confident-looking god!

@NeolithicSheep Done

[Shannon Carpenter @spinerva]

@NeolithicSheep @LizardbethArt Yeah, you fed her again, didn’t you?

[Shannon Carpenter @spinerva]

@GONZOtheGhoast You were an adorable baby! (Is that a mischievous twinkle in your eye?)

[Shannon Carpenter @spinerva]

@CardinalMikeJam I love this so much!
