Is it "By the Numbers"? (I think that's the title - the story about the boy who is given military-style drill by his father.) (My last Xmas stage performance was nearly 40 years ago. I was an angel in the school nativity. Not just any angel, you understand, but the angel with a broom, the one that sweeps the stable.) ((In which connection, I note with sadness that Asda (UK equivalent of WalMart) now sells nativity costumes. Whatever happened to make-it-yourself?)) - Phil Deputy Moderator | Visit my Bradbury website: www.bradburymedia.co.uk | Visit the Center for RB Studies: www.tinyurl.com/RBCenter | ||||

Is it too late to say that chortle is a good word? "Live Forever!" | ||||
|
Spot on! "By the Numbers!" it is. (Count yourself lucky, Phil - I played the broom. These days, angels get to use a Dyson.) I wish you hadn't told me that about Asda. The fun I used to have with wire coat hangers ... Your turn, I believe. | ||||

It's never too late to say that. - Phil Deputy Moderator | Visit my Bradbury website: www.bradburymedia.co.uk | Visit the Center for RB Studies: www.tinyurl.com/RBCenter | ||||

Very well - then chortle is a good word. "Live Forever!" | ||||

OK, name the Bradbury story: "They came to a small deserted Martian villa with a good view of the valley. It was on top of a hill. Blue-marble halls, large murals, a swimming-pool. It was refreshing in this hot summer-time. The Martians hadn't believed in large cities." - Phil Deputy Moderator | Visit my Bradbury website: www.bradburymedia.co.uk | Visit the Center for RB Studies: www.tinyurl.com/RBCenter | ||||
|
'How nice,' said Mrs Bittering, 'if you could move up here to this villa for the summer.' Dark They Were, and Golden Eyed, one of the best story titles ever. "Live Forever!" | ||||
|
Correct! I obviously make these too easy. Trouble is, if I pick something really obscure I will forget which story I got it from. Anyway, your turn now, Doug. - Phil Deputy Moderator | Visit my Bradbury website: www.bradburymedia.co.uk | Visit the Center for RB Studies: www.tinyurl.com/RBCenter | ||||

The dog smelled just like autumn. "Live Forever!" | ||||
|
Surely that HAS to be "The Emissary". - Phil Deputy Moderator | Visit my Bradbury website: www.bradburymedia.co.uk | Visit the Center for RB Studies: www.tinyurl.com/RBCenter | ||||
|
Surely it does! It was the dog that gave it away. "Live Forever!" | ||||
|
'Twas indeed the dog. It's one of my favourite stories. Even the version from Ray Bradbury Theater was good. ("Company!" if I remember correctly.) So now: Name this Bradbury story: Which Bradbury story mentions the body of Lavinia being found? - Phil Deputy Moderator | Visit my Bradbury website: www.bradburymedia.co.uk | Visit the Center for RB Studies: www.tinyurl.com/RBCenter | ||||

I gotta guess quick, dare to speak up and maybe not get it, and not stop to ponder and mull and cogitate and all that stuff. My guess is "The Singing Woman". | ||||
|
I wonder if you meant "The SCREAMing Woman"? Either way, good guess, but not right. (We use to have a game show host in the UK whose catch phrase was "It's good, but it's not right!") - Phil Deputy Moderator | Visit my Bradbury website: www.bradburymedia.co.uk | Visit the Center for RB Studies: www.tinyurl.com/RBCenter | ||||

That's funny! Leave it to the witty British. "Live Forever!" | ||||
