Then my darling husband replied:

They laughed at the International Association of Mad Scientists. Laughed
at me and my robotic chicken designs. They said that chickens do not
inspire terror, they do not strike from mountain citidels or underground
lairs and are not clearly the the tools of science.

One by one they have stopped laughing. They wake in the night fearing
the scratch of little yellow feet. At least, those of my colleagues who
have not mysteriously disappeared. But perhaps they wake in fear still.
Wake in some abandoned industrial complex, held captive by the very
automata they once scorned.

The future watches us with a beady unblinking eye.

Yes, Em is growing up with some interesting stories. She won't be scared of the monsters under the bed--we know those are friendly--but the chickens...OH GOD
The chickens............

... I'll make a xerox of something very funny I found a million gazillion years ago. Right after the Chicago Sun Times was bought by Rupert Murdoch in the 80s (he sold it shortly afterward), a group of smart-asses put out a proto-Onion type paper called "The Son Kills Father Times." Among the phony ads was one for Stephen King's new bestseller, "The Pecking," featuring bloodthirsty chickens. The best thing in the ad are the blurbs from people like Brian DePalma -- "A really really really scary book. If they make a movie of it, I hope they let me do it and not that fucker Kubrick!"

Anyway -- glad to hear Lady Miss Em is grooving on the rolling around thing.

that link doesnt go to anything. I recognized that the text wraps, too, but it still doesnt go to anything.
