"Help! Help! The dragon ate my baby."

"Did not."

"Did to!"

"Did Not!"

"His blanket is all stuck in your teeth."

"I ate it for the fiber. But there was no baby in it."

"Are you trying to tell me that a 7 month old baby just up and walks away?"

"Why not? And maybe if you were paying more attention to your offspring you wouldn't me missing it now."

"WHAT!?! How...OOOHHH. This Dragon ate my baby and is just trying to get away with it. We need to kill it before it eats any more defenseless babies!"

"Hey...Is any one missing a baby over here?"

"oh.....uuummm...He's mine"

@LittleDragon: I like it. Is it bad that I read that in an Aussie voice along the lines of "A dingo ate my baby!" ?

#observationdeck

@Ruthless if you let me: Is it bad that I read it in Julia Louis-Dreyfus' voice along the lines of "the DANG-o AYT your BAY-BEE!"?

#observationdeck

@southerngeek: So did I, and if that's wrong, I don't wanna be right.

#observationdeck

@Ruthless if you let me: I read it in John Cleese and Michael Palin's voices...

o_O

#observationdeck

@LittleDragon: Nice story, clearly we all read it in that voice though.

Its ridiculous how many people want to blame and kill dragons for their own incompetence.

#observationdeck

@southerngeek: That's what I was really reading it as. My heat-fried brain couldn't come up with it though.

#observationdeck

@LittleDragon: This is written with a clarity that can only come from personal experience.

I liked it.

@Shini: R.O.A.C.H.: You wouldn't believe the things I have been accused of. Eat virgins, roasting knights, burning down villages. I mean really, where would I find a virgin and there is no way I would roast Gandalf or Picard.

#observationdeck

@LittleDragon: And you'd know nothing about any villages burning down, right? Completely somebody else.

#observationdeck

@Shini: R.O.A.C.H.: *cough* I don't know what you are talking about. Fire is very.....darn whats that word.....oh, Dangerous. That's it. Fire is very dangerous and I would never do any thing dangerous. Safety first and all that.

@LittleDragon: Probably a cow knocking over a glue pot. Happens all the time.

#observationdeck

@southerngeek: @LittleDragon: I read the dragon's line in John Cleese's voice. This has a definite Pythonesque feel to it.

#thursdaytales

@AmishJohn: Meh.: YOu beat me to it.

#thursdaytales

@LittleDragon: Can't find a virgin?

Have you tried Comic Con?

Bazing!

#thursdaytales

@LittleDragon: Bravo! hahaha!

#thursdaytales

@WookieLifeDay:

#observationdeck

@LittleDragon: I'd like to see more from the dragon's point of view. The dragon's take on dungeons, etc.

#observationdeck

@LittleDragon: believe me, im aware geeks have sex. I was just doing the obvious line.

#observationdeck

@LittleDragon: I too heard this in the "dingoes ate my baby" voice. Love the twist. This gave me a good chuckle and I really hope you'll consider sharing more fiction with us.
