I pretty much apologize to anybody who's ever been published: Friday Fill-Ins
Friday, March 27, 2009 at 12:07AM And...here we go!
1. "In a hole in the ground there lived a dog. What? It was a rare subterranean species of dog. The, um, canis undergroundeous. Look, don't make it MY fault if you don't know your local flora and fauna."
2. "That may be an antiparticle, son, that may even be a positron, but that ain't no matter."
3. "After dark the rain began to fall again, and nobody really figured out why it had been hovering in midair in the first place."
4. "An enormous belch issued forth from the hold of the Spanish galleon."
5. "There was a hand in the darkness and IT WASN'T ATTACHED TO ANYTHING."
6. "Accidents ambush the unsuspecting, happy accidents usually involve the inebriated."
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to re-reading World War Z (no, not really), tomorrow my plans include re-reading Twilight (again, not really) and Sunday, I want to find a book that doesn't suck or scare the crap out of me!

Haaa!!!! I couldn't think of anything for the Spanish Galleon fill-in...well done!!!
I just finished "Heart shaped box" it wasn't too bad and it won't scare the crap out of you!!! That's the job of Type B flu!!! :)
This is great. I haven't heard of this event. I am definitely going to have to check it out.
Oh, Keely! If I could climb inside your brain for two minutes...I'd have an effing field day!
Speaking of field days, where the hell does that saying come from anyway? Being in a field doesn't really seem like that much fun...you're smart...you tell me!
GREAT Friday Fill Ins!
What idiot hasn't heard of the canis undergroundeous? Sheesh. People are so uninformed these days.
#2 is my favorite.
I love me a good dorky joke.
TGIF!
Why was that rain hovering in mid-air anyway?
Don't read Cell by Stephen King if zombies scare you.
I went the funny route too.
I see a book deal in your future! :)
I think you should have #6 made into a t-shirt.
I definitely know my Flora and Fauna. They are the pink and the green fairies. Respectively. Just ask Sleeping Doody
This looks fun.
I like number 3 the best.
6. "Accidents ambush the unsuspecting, happy accidents usually involve the inebriated."
Does this mean I'm drunk alot?!
Happy Friday :)
your friday fill ins always crack me up! i can't wait to go to canada (in the summer) to visit you. i will be armed with a suitcase full of mad libs.
#5 Another reference to zombies, eh?
I don't know what it is...but zombies are EVERYWHERE on the blogosphere these days.
I think YOU started it.
*grin*
If happy accidents only happen to the inebriated I think I'll stay that way all the time. Oh wait, I usually am.
I loved it.
We have a surprising number of zombie conversations at my house - now I always have that extra giggle that hubby doesn't get!
You're weird, dude.
How do you feel about vampires? 'Cause I just started reading _Let the Right One In_, that Swedish book that got made into a movie. So far so good. Not that you want another book rec from me.
Also, I don't want the internets to think that I am like the horror-story-reading girl. I really prefer a novel of manners. Like Austen, Henry James, or Trollope, you know? But those ain't beach reading. Anyhoo, am I still talking? Have a great weekend!
#6 "....and happy endings usually involve....erm....uh....fairy tales."
I love number 6. It could be my slogan.
I hear they're filming the second Twilight movie here in Vancouver. I still don't care.
Hey hey hey!! Twilight was, despite being horribly written, a VERY exciting book! Along with the three that followed. I'm in love with Edward and Jacob, I refuse to pick one. I want both.
I recommend "The Alchemist" "Crank" "Persuasion" "After Dark" and if you wanna cry a little "Tuesdays with Morrie"
Let me know what you pick even if it's not from that list.
It took me two months to decide on the book I'm reading now (Pride and Prejudice) so I'm starting to pick the next one already. Suggestions?
These were very funny. You are very creative
We have two canis undergroundeous. A mini-canis and a St. canis-bernardess and they are so spoiled!
Your blog is a fun place to visit. :)
Oh no, not a positron! You're my favorite Fill-inist.
