    As far as I know, you're the only member from Peoria, but that doesn't necessarily make you average or normal. These days, you have to work hard to earn those ignominious distinctions. Imagine a novel. Murder in Peoria. First line: "It was an average murder, in the most perjorative and aggravating sense of that word, but it was by no means a normal killing." And so on.

    If you don't take that first line David gave you and at least use it in the Bulwer-Lytton contest, I will. But I guess David owns it.

    Good riposte. There was a film several years back called Leaving Normal with Meg Tilly. And there is a bus in Norway that will take you to Hell and back.

    At least Peoria sounds as it should sound. Not like Cairo, IL, which is KAY-ROH, or Versailles, IN, which is VER-SAYLES, or Russiaville, IN, which is ROOSHA-VUL. To locals, as per The Wire, Baltimore.MD, is BALLAMUR. Go figure.

    Of course, David, you know that Hel, one L, was the Norse goddess of the earth.Sadly, I have no fear of Hel, I've already been there.

    Your welcome. I generally try to be a-musing. And now, no doubt I will be pun-ished.

    I'm not usually impressed with tattoos, but that one looks pretty neat. Its excellent for the imagination.

    Hi Rich
    I've never heard of Lovecraft, nor have I read Clive Barker or any of your favorite authors (except Stephen King, who is the first I author I feel in love with), but I thought I would say hello anyway. And good luck with your writing.

    Thanks Rich,
    Lovecraft's a cool character, and anyone who thinks so is pretty cool too. I'll be sure to check out your web page. Some of your favorites I'm familar with, a couple are new to me.

    My niece has winnie the pooh on her big toe. Its cute.
    I worry about the spiritual connotations. I've read some creepy stories about evil spirits being attached to them.

    I'll have to check out both. I'm a fiction editor as well as a novelist, and I'm currently working through a sci-fi manuscript. It's been great exposure and is making me look at other genres besides mystery/crime/thriller.
    ( and I have tattoos but they're girley ...)

    Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week. And don't forget to tip your waiter.
