"But I love the dragons that talk and are usually more intelligent than most humans.
Kind of like the Houyhnhnms in Gulliver's Travels. Neigh -- exactly like them!"

Jason Lilly replied to Debbie's discussion Dragons in the group Dragon's Breath"I was going to list Smaug as my favorite, as well as Draco from Dragonheart (that's the one voiced by Sean Connery). I don't care much for dragons that are just depicted as brainless animals who roar and blow fire and eat stuff. But I love…"
Ken C replied to Debbie's discussion Dragons in the group Dragon's Breath"I didn't realize shopping for a dragon was like shopping for a car. Automatic (marshmallow toaster). Power breathing. Fly wheels. The whole nine yards.
But really -- what does a baby dragon look like when it comes out of its egg? That's…"

School Camp
Thanks for the warm welcome everyone...my friend Ken invited me to join (he is a REAL writer!). Jason, the beach is in New Zealand....a place worth visiting! And when you have built your raft Barry (make sure it has room for the hobbit), row on over and I will put the kettle on.

Barry Lane said… - I am again so delighted. We have been told that New Zealand is the most literate country in the world. Legend goes, even the street signs are in complete sentences, and contain elevated language worthy of an advanced civilization . Example: Instead of "yield" or "Give Way." you have "Acquiess Radiantly." Being an American, I can't even spell it!
I may be in your neck of the woods next year when I do my world tour. We must meet. Gaetan needs to meet you too, as he is a hobbit. :-)))
