Overheard at ArmadilloCon:  “So-and-so wrote a good book, but I thought the castle in it was kind of generic.  It was like he got it from an old MGM movie.”  Whereupon somebody else chimed in:  “From Central Casting?”  What came to my mind was:  “Central Castling?  Please send over one castle for a gig in a novel under deadline, paying union scale.”
