Oh So Good and shades of BoB Newhart's phone talks.

Hmmm. Seems to be missing some dialog and descriptive text!

"I told him that as his new daddy, I loved him very much" -- Hoot! :)

Pretty funny. Thanks!

I don't think I need to tell you how awesome this story is, others have probably said it better than I ever could. Didn't Stephen King use this narrative in on of his stories?

You managed to use it really effectively. I was getting the hang of filling in the blanks near the end, will probably have to read again to get the full picture. That will not be a chore, though.

Keep up the fantastic work!

I can't tell if that last bit is a threat or a promise.

Great ficlet.

lol. hilarious. first time around, i ended up scrolling through the entire thing since i didnt understand it at all.

and then i guess i realized that it was all harry speaking, so i went back and reread it. and man, it was FUNNY. nice story.

You know, this kind of hooks (in my head) with a line from Big D's "Slytherin Harry" series, regarding veritaserum and plausible deniability. After all, Harry hasn't *yet* done anything, and there's no guarantee that he *will*, so the "whole truth and nothing but the truth" bit that the v-serum makes is easily bent.

That said, like a few other reveiwers, the format didn't catch on just at first; I was all the way to the arresting part when I realized that I was only "hearing" one voice in the dialogue.

On the other hand, the mental excerise of picturing the Geezer-gamot's (term used without permission; i can't even remember where it came from) reaction to a line that just screamed DeadpanSnark to me:

"Thirty-four and one hundred and sixty-eight, respectively."

Epic win.

Just...epic win.

So who did he marry, anyway? Luna?

Fascinating! I've never seen a fic done completely in one person's dialog. Very nicely done :)

That was brilliant. After reading the 'donated their bodies to science' line I had to change my underwear.

Hilarious! This story's one of the funniest I've seen in a long time!

If it were real, I know lots of women who'd be lining up down the block for a go with The Boy Who Lived.

Like it? I LOVE it. That is so clever. Pity I didn't see this one ages ago.

In the preceding episode, the part of Harry Potter has been portrayed by David Tennant...

*grin*

either way, that was definitely ROFL-worthy...

Thanks for sharing!
