Lola at the Coffee House

How about ghosts that are just into sex in a serious way? Wouldn't that be an improvement? Wouldn't that speak to a literary vacancy?

So I declare the competition null and void, and Joe owes for his whisky.

weigh
/wā/
Verb

Find out how heavy (someone or something) is, typically using scales.
Have a specified weight: "it weighed ten pounds".

Twain didnt draw Tom Sawyer or Huck out ino adulthood. They each were involved in specific life lessons where, at completion, we leave the lads, futures still unrevealed.
SO I think a kid , born of the Gungasnakes (for example0 could participate in his own life lessons as the plot unfolds and leave us all with something important to ponder.

Here's some hip flexor operations lads.

So I suppose you don't want to hear me talk about my deltoids. They'll be next - when I go back to the Dark Side studio. Audra's killer on deltoids.

I do believe that Jim found Huck's father dead in a house which was floating down the river. That would kind of throw a wrench into any story about Huck's father.

This is true but the author had his story as an interim event and set the tale as prequel to Huck's fathers demise. It was a tale so constructed as to be able to see the inevitable. "Finn" was rather self destructive.

I know it's a prejudice, but i don't go in for authors using other author's ideas.

This, "Dance class ran long tonight. My hip flexors are killing me. " would get better jokes in a pub.

Quote:

In this darkly luminous debut, Finn, the namesake of the title, is not Twain's illustrious Huck, but Huck's father, "Pap." As the novel opens, an African-American woman's bloated corpse floats downriver from Lasseter, Ill., toward the slave territory of St. Petersburg, Mo. In the Lasseter woods, Finn—a dangerous, bigoted drunk—tells his blind bootlegger friend, Bliss, that he's finally "quit" his on-again, off-again African-American companion Mary, the mother of Finn's second son (also, confusingly, named Huck). Chronically short on money, Finn is shunned by his father (Adams County Judge James Manchester Finn) and by his brother, Will. Finn does odd jobs, traps catfish and claims tutelary rights to Huckleberry's share of Injun Joe's gold. (In this last, he is thwarted by Widow Douglas and Judge Thatcher, high-handed and stifling as ever.) The opaque in medias res narrative then backs up to detail Finn and Mary's life together: his drinking, his stint in the penitentiary following an assault (sentenced by his own father), Mary's rising debts and Finn's attempts at restitution. As the nature of the woman's murder becomes clear, Clinch lyrically renders the Mississippi River's ceaseless flow, while revealing Finn's brutal contradictions, his violence, arrogance and self-reproach. If Clinch's debut falls short of Twain's achievement, it does further Twain's fiction.

There was only one Sam Clemens, and anyone good enough to do his job ought to be striking out on their own.
