I always had KK pegged as a pigs in a blanket sort of guy, with a couple eggs blindfolded.
That was when he was younger and sowing his wild oats.

He's a much older man at the time this story takes place.
All those oats are domesticated now.

Ruffino , drunk in his elation of watching an explosion , took a gander at Muriel and thought ... It ain't so bad ... then smacked himself unconscious out of fear

If he hadn't done it, she would have.

It was dark in the room where they were all sitting. The room was lit only by the warm glow of their pipes.

"Whadday'all say we sing a song together?" someone said in the dark. He disguised his voice so none of the others knew who it was.

"Whadday'all say we do something?" Muriel Hauptmann said. She didn't try to disguise her voice. There's no hiding Muriel Hauptmann. "Who's got any ideas?" she asked.

There were sounds of scratching various body parts. Then, one of the other six of The Magnificent Seven spoke up......

---- They woke up from their coma.

"Where are we?" Arturo7 asked his comrades.

"I don't know," Crusty Cob said.

"I don't know," Fr. Tom said.

"I don't know," Ruffino Gold said.

"I don't know," Whalehead King said.

"I don't know," Bruyere Royale said.

"I don't know," Kevin Keith said.

"I wonder why more people don't read this thread," Muriel Hauptmann said.

Arturo7 scratched his head. "Maybe it's because nothing much seems to happen," he said.

Arturo7 scratched his head again and rubbed his belly. "We've been in a coma a long time. I could use another cheeseburger," he said.

"Me too," Crusty Cob said.

"Me too," Fr. Tom said.

"Me too," Ruffino Gold said.

"Me too," Whalehead King said.

"Me too," Bruyere Royale said.

"Me too," Kevin Keith said.

"I don't know," Muriel Hauptmann said.

And then, like the final distant rumblings of a storm already passed, Bro. Uhaha lit a match in a far corner and spoke: 'Bro. Arturo7, we are where we are supposed to be, and none of us should be eating cheeseburgers.' 'Whalehead King - you salt and pepper these ribeyes, while I redirect these boring existential dilemmas with the feel and smell of a clean and well lubricated grill blazing with oak.'

WK responded: 'I thought I smelled something wonderful...'

I haven't read this gem of a thread since 2019.

As @Wilderness Pipe pipe said on page 4, on September 13, 2019, I'm going to say it today on June 7, 2021, "I read the whole thing and I love it."
