“Maybe I’m in love with you,” she said to the metal bird, whose only reply was to hand her a peanut butter cookie with one twisted and somewhat rusty claw.

Your sentence has spurred me into adding a new Scrine feature.  Inspiration should be properly credited, I’m coming to realize.

The “inspired by” feature, Jo.  Look for it on your posting screen.  See it in action in “bird love” above.

I am still totally beflummoxed. What?

Instructions to unflommox Jo:
1) Go to the main scrine screen. 
2) Read the post “bird love” right above your “odd affair” post. 
3)Note the cool new “inspired by” that mentions that you were Keith’s muse for creating the “bird love” sentence.
4) Go to the place you compose/post new sentences.
5) Look below the text box where there’s a space “inspired by…”
6) click the downarrow and see all the scrine sentences listed alphabetically. 
7) Pick one of mine.
8) Write a sentence inspired by my sentence.
9) Note that over on scrineblog you can not only be inspired by scrine sentences but also by outside sources.
10) Thank Keith for making scrinewriting slightly more complicated than rocket science.

Scrine, or as it’s listed in the catalogs of several leading universities: Rocket Science 101.

Your sentence inspired me to wonder (because I seem to be going though a ‘wondering about’ phase) whether she had a peanut allergy or fetish and whether this was the ultimate rejection (‘die bitch!), the ultimate turn on (Mmmmm, peanuts they make me…) or just a gentle way of getting a message across without having to resort to complicated explanations.
