  1. "We don' need no steenkin' badgers!" Bwahahaha! That's a long way to go for an old movie joke. I hope you are really there, having a great time and not swimming with the fishes except when you want to.

    1. Hey Nancy! Sadly I'm not there right now, tho it would be an excellent excuse why I've not blogged this past two weeks. Hmmm, is it too late to change my mind? Indigo x

    1. Hey Eolist! Ah yes, swimming with sharks while tasting of meaty pizza and fish eggs. Not a good combo! Indigo x

  3. You did rub yourself properly with a meat tenderizer before being dumped into the ocean, didn't you?

    1. Hey Pearl! The Don had his chihuahua footsoldiers give us a good going over earlier in the day, but I felt obliged to edit that particularly gratuitous violence out. We felt fully tenderised before he hit the water. And by the time the barracuda had finished with us... Indigo x

  4. First of all, my aging eyes so appreciate the change to a white background. ;) And you had me going at first. I really thought you were sunning by the sea. I should know better. I don't know how the Armadillo expects to stay in business if he kills off his customers. I mean, it's not like you skipped out on the check... Did you?

    1. Hey Jayne! You like the new layout? Thank you, I'm rather proud of it, and you're the first to comment. I must send you a prize... As for business sense, I think they should take a closer look at customers before deciding whether to let them in for the "All You Can Eat". Tho of course we settled up like gentlemen before we were asked to step out back. Many years ago, myself and 'Difficult visited Pizza Hut to have the lunchtime buffet, and eventually they got us to leave by bringing out a sweetcorn and onion pizza. No joke. Indigo x

  5. I hope you found a friendly lionfish or two down there for protection. Protection after all is a very important in Meheeko as you clearly seem to have missed.

    Why do pyjamas never feature strongly in your stories? Are you just a bad suitcase packer? I find pyjamas are an essential part of feeling prepared for whatever life - and armadillos - may throw at you, or indeed throw you at.

    Course I never actually wear them but the proximity is always a reassuring factor and hospitals are always very appreciative of preparedness I find.

    As usual Mr R - Nice one!

    Off now to try and fight my way through the word recognition before posting this. {note to self: book optician appointment or stop commenting on stuuuuuff}

    1. Hi Alistair! Pyjamas? Well, I'm glad you ask; my focus group has just insisted upon an epic night-attire tale, and I know from bitter experience that ignoring them can be bad for my numbers. And thank you! Indigo

  6. Thank goodness I brought my mouth-organ so I can breath underwater like Qui-Gon Jinn. I always bring one to an eat as much as you like buffet.

    1. Hey Robbie, thanks! But one that subject, I need to sketch out what the armadillo looked like. He had too much character to be limited to a description of his clothes. He was one tough hombre! Indigo

  8. Well now, I find that armadillo to be a bit rude...you PAID the man didn't you??

    As always, a wonderful story, I felt like I was standing behind a tree giggling at you two getting into yet another one!
