How Many Puppies Shall We Let Out Today?

Don’t let the puppies out all at once

--

I’ve been writing on the Internet thingy since the early nineties. Nobody knows me, I’m not famous. Well, that’s not entirely true. I did once get introduced to someone and he exclaimed “You are THAT Tony Lawrence? Wow! I’ve read a lot of your stuff!”.

He was probably thinking of someone else. He insisted otherwise and gave me the plot of something I had written earlier that week. It somehow happened to be mine, which was discomforting and weird.

But yeah, I’ve written a lot and a lot of it is still out there and a lot of it is lost forever. I remembered a funny thing I wrote years ago about Ding-Bat Bolts. It had a brief flame of popularity but I never saved a copy of it and the site that published it has gone away. Not even the Wayback Machine can find it.

I did find the cartoon I drew for it. These, my friends, are Ding-Bat Bolts.

Ding-Bat Bolts

If my memory serves, these bolts were slightly curved and deliberately made to cross-thread instantly. I cannot remember why.

OK, but how many stories should I write?

Oh, that was a question? I thought I was talking to myself. You actually want me to give you advice? How odd…
