Realistic Indiana Jones movies * Indiana Jones and tomb that had already been looted by robbers in the 19th century * Indiana Jones and pottery fragment #1478 * Indiana Jones and the site discovered under somebody's house so there was no way to actually dig it * Indiana Jones and the famous treasure that actually turned out to be an ancient chamber pot * Indiana Jones and the temple of maybe three damaged columns * Indiana Jones and the intro to archaeology class that didn't give a shit and just wanted to pass for the gen ed credit

Alternatively, Gwenn from the Wise Oak series: Gets up, looks around the room, places a bag of gold in the hand of the recovering landlord, to cover expenses, glances at the men who were given plenty of warnings and leaves.

On the eleventh day of Halloween,
My true love gave to me,
11 werewolves prowling,
10 hyenas howling,
9 vultures singing,
8 nettles stinging,
7 harpies screaming,
6 villains scheming,
5 angry trolls,
4 vampire bats,
3 dead rats,
2 smelly cats,
And a whatsit in a thingamy!

Fine by me.
It's a cult of perosnality and he hasn't had time to install a successor structure, so things will probably return to a degree of normality if he just gently moves on as a result of natural causes.

Oh, how appropriate, #Nobel Peace Prize awarded to the opposition leader of Venezuela. Meanwhile the Tango Turd Baby still think it is okay to murder Venezualan citizens in international waters. He, and his mates Putin, and Netanyahu, need to be in The Hague.

Dream: The Party promised to protect us from the Xenomorphs.
All the guns were pointed at us.
Anyone who claimed that there were no Xenomorphs was dragged away on the grounds that they were already infected.

My idiot dog, Odysseus, won't stay still and the flash gives him demon eyes.
Rest assured he is not possessed by satanic spirits, he's just stoopid and thinks I want his nose in my face.
He means well.
My daft dog Odysseus getting up close and personal with the flash reflecting horribly in his eyes.

Thank you. It's in for a few literary awards as well. I wouldn't even hope to get longlisted but for reviews like this.
Not counting any chickens though.
