ReplyDeleteI don't know why you have this most-excellent fierce red dragon, but I love him. I think he'd fit right in with the herd at Proud Spirit. I can see him frolicking in the woods and dancing across the pastures. I'd name him Horse. Only because we have a horse named Dragon.
ReplyDeleteBecause SOMEBODY has to provide a home to fierce red dragons. Might as well be you.

ReplyDeleteThe shark's teeth are being polished and you needed some way to nibble on writers.

ReplyDeleteBecause you're catching up with the rest of us. :)
ReplyDeleteTo dracarys. Why else?
ReplyDeleteBad news, Sir, we’ve got another escapee sighting. It's all over social media. Huh? Whaddayamean, voice to text? Oh sh--

Not a dragon. It’s a pan lung, and your house is rife with them. Call the exterminator at 1-800-PAN-LUNG.
ReplyDeleteBecause wimpy blue dragons aren’t worth keeping around.
ReplyDelete"It is a truth universally acknowledged that an agent in possession of a good manuscript must be in want of a dragon."

ReplyDeleteNew business: renting out dragons to breathe down the necks of NaNoWriMo writers trying to make their daily word count.
ReplyDeleteLooks like someone broke The Great Stone Dragon. Dishonor on you. Dishonor on your cow. Um. blinks Dishonor on something?
ReplyDeleteI'm late to the party, but perhaps because you too are looking for a handyman. This is the ad I placed on craig'slist recently:
ReplyDeleteI'm looking for a handyman/carpenter. Initially I need a kitchen sink plumbed, correctly this time, and will be needing two exterior doors replaced. Other work down the road.
I need someone who:
1. Knows what they are doing. Priority.
2. Will show up or call when they say they're going to.
3. Is not subject to:
a. Heart attacks. (at least remember the details.)
b. Car wrecks. (see above.)
c. Emergency choir practice. (Yes, I'm serious.)
Now, if your excuse is you had to fight a dragon, that's completely understandable as long as you dispatch the dragon quickly, so you can also dispatch my chores. Fighting dragons, after all, is good and noble.
