(In my sleepy state, thatkgirl's footnoting style seemed so perfectly appropriate -- hopefully she will forgive me for borrowing it for a moment

sorry about the sleepless night...at least you have a cool story to show for it...
i'll never forget the time i was on the phone with my folks, who were telling me about the neighbor across the street from them passing away and hearing john yell from the bathroom to come there. i come around the corner, thinking, "oh he must need t.p....only to be met with three tails in a semi-circle flicking from side to side and a very wet, very dead mouse sitting between john's feet...
I don't know how I missed this when it was posted, but I'm glad you pointed it out. Hilarious! I'm sure it wasn't to live through, but to read it from across the country a mounth and a half later -- HILARIOUS.
But you know, if it were a scene in a movie, you'd totally have a live-in girlfriend to jump about shrieking while you dealt with the bat. And the cat would've been hers, not yours.
Actually, maybe the girlfriend would be out of town and you were cat sitting.
Ah, I'll stop writing the script. The story was hilarious, just as is. (But even so, if such a script were written, the girlfrien wouldn't be Russian. Because you've learned your lesson about that, right? :))
Also, I didn't invent the footnoting, so borrow away. And I've never seen a bat up close and personal. You should have taken pictures.
If and when she catches another one, if it plays dead for long enough, I will take a picture or 3 to share.
It was pretty funny at the time. I could certainly see the funny side of it, even at that moment. Which is why I wrote the post in the style I did.
It sounds like you prefer a lot of "agones" in your scripts! You don't want the hero to just suffer a little, in an amused spirit. You want him to suffer in misery! :))
