Rachel WrightPterry really was a gift for the ages. Page 11 of my umpteenth rereading of Witches Abroad, and I find something new to make me chortle.
Colin the Mathmo@virtuosew Always a delight.
What did you find?
@virtuosew OK, you'll need to take notes and explain it to me when I get back. I'm too tired, and too much out of context to get that.
Janice in GA@virtuosew Last night I was listening to Feet of Clay and I came to this part, where Dorfl the Golem was talking (via writing on a slate) to Cheery:
"YES. MEN AND TROLLS HERE ON EVERY SHIFT, THEY WILL TELL YOU. DURING THE DAY I MUST SLAUGHTER, DRESS, QUARTER JOINT AND BONE, AND AT NIGHT WITHOUT REST I MUST MAKE SAUSAGES AND BOIL UP THE LIVERS, HEARTS, TRIPES, KIDNEYS AND CHITTERLING.
“That’s awful,” said Cheery.
The pencil blurred briefly.
CLOSE."
I lol'd.
Michelle / The Giddy Stitcher@Archergal @virtuosew Oh that's weird I literally just read that page in Feet of Clay last night too...
...for probably the tenth or so time, and only caught this joke for the first time 😅
