The Rib Question

Eve barely knew what a rib was and here one had come and gone already. She knew pounds, okay, so ribs? Like barbecue, she supposed. Two cents? Neither sense or scent-related unless, like her friend Maggie, she began to like Liv Tyler’s Very Irrésistible Givenchy L'Intense, costing upwards of $80, out of range for an Early Childhood Education student. Eve had this feeling there’d be children, two – like the cents, and it wouldn’t end well because of the bad penny. It’d be something to blog about if she ever stopped getting >200 emails a day about that apple thing.

    Oh, oh. Is this your 'R' post, or your 'Ribs' post. The 'ribs' was supposed to be a 'rib' for Roy, because of his (I thought) rather cryptic instruction regarding 'anything that will fit on the block.' But I had really intended to choose some kind of punctuation at some point.
    However, if you are using 'ribs' as your inspiration, I guess it is too late.
    : )

    Oh, haha! You have used up all the punctuation, plus the ribs! What are you going to do for the rest of the month?
    Very cute entry, BTW.

    Thanks! Honestly I began pondering if ribs meant ))) or something and then it wrote itself.
