Contest #1 Answer

I was in the back yard with my bare feet in the kiddies’ pool, eating Cakes And Ale, a sort of poor man’s tea, when someone flung a Frisbee in my direction.  As the disc approached, I wondered why it seemed to get larger as it got nearer.  Then it hit me.

Later, as I applied more internal anesthetic, I completely forgot to give Pensitivity any credit, and just decided that being the person who dreamed this challenge up, definitely rules.  I don’t remember you coming through the garden gate.  But then, after a certain point in the afternoon, things become a little hazy – shortly after I cracked the third 12-pack.  Did we have fun??  Shall we do this again, occasionally?

PEACE AND QUIET

Keep driving.  The GPS says that it’s just a little further

Are you sure this guy exists?  I thought they lived on mountaintops.  Rural Postal Route #22??!  I’m not happy with directions that say, “Turn off the paved road, and drive till the radio goes Ttthbbbrrst.”

There’s his cabin!  Stop!
O Wise Wizard of the Woods, what is the secret of everlasting serenity?

Silence and Solitude!!  How’d you guys find me??  Why don’t you bugger off and find your own patch of bush??!  I guarantee I’ll feel a lot more serene when I see your tail-lights disappear in the distance!
