Yes! That’s an absolutely great scene. The whole movie is really very affecting. It made me cry.

The Wizened Potato.

Hey, have any of you on here seen ‘Valkyrie’? I just watched it last night.It’s heavily based on the true story of a band of Germans who wanted to assassinate Hitler.

If you haven’t seen it, you should.

It has some minor bad language, and violence, being a war story, but not as much of either as I was expecting. It’s really good. I highly recommend it.

Sign of the Sneezing Jester! 😀 Love it! Imagine what a sign for that would look like…

The Pickled Parsnip.

The Ranger’s Rest.

The Bow and Horn.

The Sign of the Pork and Pumpkin.

The Golden Wasp.

Haha! The Crook and Lyre says a shepherd’s flail and a harp, the Crook and Liar says a felon and… well… a liar! It’s perfect. 😀 XD

*sigh* I love a good pun.

Yes. I like that too.

Now I’m choking.

The Elegant Horsefly

Oh boy, we’ve got some great stuff going here. The sneezing pirate… hilarious.

All we need now is Ezra. @Ezra-Wilkinson? Where are you? 😛

Haaaaaaaa… The Floating Log. 😉

What if there were things in the mist— illusions— that tried to get them off the path? Like the voice of a child crying for help, or the screams of a woman in distress, or a weeping baby? Things that would appeal to their heart and make them jump out to save something without thinking, but in the end are not really there.

You probably don’t want to know. 😛

The Wailing Wombat.

The Dangling Snake.

The Boat and Bulrush. (I’ve used that one already).

The Fish and Lilypad.

The Lobster and Limpet.

Ooh… I like that one. Makes me wonder where it got its name. 🙂

Ha! The Howling Frog! Love it. So fun. 😀

I like The Screaming Falcon, too, @Hope. Nice and dramatic. I like both the funny and the sophisticated ones. Once I used ‘The Leaf and Thorn’ when I didn’t want to go for the humorous twist.

Great job, both of you. All of those would definitely qualify as inn names.

The Dog and Partridge (didn’t make…[Read more]

Ugh… lucky you.

Criticize it!? It’s perfect!

All the more so because… I can do that. 😛

@dbhgodreigns— yes, I know, it’s awful. I used to fret that my novels weren’t long enough, when I’d first started, and now I fret that they’re too long and no one will want to read them. 😛

It seems to be impossible to strike some middle ground.

@Greta-D yes! Where the Red Fern Grows makes me bawl as well. And Old Yeller, though not in the same way.
