Been noticing a few people wondering where EoMEoTE#8 is and I’ve been wondering myself. Last communication I had from Jeanne was an extremely cryptic part of an email:
Never had a craving for macarons but now I do.
Normally I wouldn’t think anything of this but the spelling of macaroons is a deliberate attention getter. She lives next door to the largest macaroon factory in the United Kingdom and would constantly tell me how she was never without macaroons. The missing “o” refers to the double ovoid of IMBB?#16′s Eggs and EoMEoTE#8. With the second “o” missing one can only conclude as thus
Never had a craving for macaro[removing EoMEoTE#8]n but now I do.
But the curious thing though is that the number of letters in macarons is eight rather than nine. Eight in Japanese is hachi, coincidence I think not – not only to hatch an egg but to hatch a plot. Eight is four and two, or shini which is also the verb stem “to die”. Eight is also the cube of two. Another word for a cube is a die. The two must die. But which two? Can two people be one? Well only if they’re a gemini. And there’s only one gemini in our EoMEoTE foundation duo, and that’s me. Fuck!
I’m a dead man. Only one place to hide. In the outback.
Well, so much for feared Rhodesian Special Forces mercenary Jonty Terreblanche. The hunter becomes the prey. Winchester lever action .22, only rifle known to drop a charging rhino head-on. Didn’t know what hit him. Now I can get around to doing my EoMEoTE post.

Yes, maybe there was a cryptic clue in the spelling of the single-ovoid macaron but I think we were on different pages of the crossword compendium!!
Anyhoo… Before anybody bursts a yolk panicking about the whereabouts of EoMEoTE#8, and especially for the master of self-created drama Spicey, here’s the official announcement. Get writing!

I’m here, just off the coffee, climbing up the walls. -
i am sure Eco was pissing himself when he read DC – at least when Eco dabbled with the Templars there was some substance behind it and also the right balance of “these is serious but also bloody ridiculous” :-)
-
Ronald you are so on the money, Eco is the master of messing around in it but yet so elegantly above.

ahhh
I see the problem now!
It was ment to be the continuing serial about my crappy drama… and in no way a comment on your writing ;) -
