The Snapelets Ride Again

[rj_anderson]

In response to the overwhelming support for this scene on the poll I ran a couple of weeks ago, it's...

The Birthday Party
In which Malcolm's coming of age goes pear-shaped in several different ways, thanks to the involvement of Albion, Margot, Geoff Weasley, and a girl named Susannah.

If Margot were annoyed, she gave no sign of it. "You'll have to excuse my brother," she said. "Dropping broad hints that I'm a Dark sorceress with ambitions of world domination is one of his few amusements these days."

ETA: Please note that this is not a complete story in itself, but rather a scene from a much longer WiP, and goes along with the four earlier scenes from the same WiP that I've posted in the past.

I enjoyed, but I thought I should make a comment- in Australia, "I'm stuffed" is a very crude way of saying you've just had sex. (my mom found this out the hard way, when I was much younger. *grin* It's been a family story ever since) I don't know if Geoff would know or if it would matter, but just in case, thought I'd mention...

in Australia, "I'm stuffed" is a very crude way of saying you've just had sex.

It is? That's news to me, and I'm an Aussie. Are you confusing it with "get stuffed", which is about the equivalent of the English "bugger off". Or maybe the etymology has the same root, but I've never heard of the "I'm stuffed" version. Maybe I don't hang around with crude enough people.

*grins* All I know is it's between my mom and a very shocked taxi driver. I'll have to ask her.

I've never heard it used that way. All I know is "I'm stuffed" meaning "I'm exhausted" or "get stuffed" as a politer version of "get f***ed". Whereabouts in Australia are you?

Actually, I'm not... I admit this bit of apocrypha comes from a story my mom tells from visiting Australia in the late eighties. *grin* I may have taken for fact what is only faintly remembered.
