I packaged up, compressed, and uploaded today’s episode before discovering that I had inadvertently mentioned the brand name of a popular consumer product in the few introductory seconds before the story starts, so I thought it might be wise for me to insert a little disclaimer, for the sake of my legal hide. Here goes:
Please let it be known that what you have heard (or will be hearing) is not the consequence of product placement– after all, I don’t think a company would pay me to say that its product was made from pigs’ lips, or whatever I said. And along those lines, please let it be known that the product is not really made from pigs’ lips (or at least, I don’t think it is). It was a figure of speech, not meant to be taken seriously as indicator of the product’s ingredients, and not even my guess as to the product’s ingredients. In fact, please note that I have no opinion of that product whatsoever, and would never encourage, nor discourage, its consumption.
Whew.
What’s the difference between a retelling and plagiarism, I wonder? Here’s a thought: what what if all fiction had to have footnotes?
lol pigs lips. are you talking about processed meat?
that is crazy!
Stories! Yay! Thanks for The Boy Who Read Cats. It will be fun to practice my story telling with this one.
