Tale

Not a very normal name.

Very sweet, often stubborn people, who will say what they mean if they really mean it.
“Oh how sweet of Tale!” Or “Ahhrg, Tale!!!”

Tale of Whoa!

A story of compound misfortunes so unlikely that the listener responds with terminal skepticism.
He listened respectfully at first, filled with compassion, tears forming in his eyes as she narrated having been abandoned as an infant, left in a dumpster high in the Sierra-Nevadas, rescued by dumpster-diving circus riders who put her, untethered, on the back of a jumping stallion every night till she was sixteen. Years later, escaping one night off the coast of San Diego she waded into the ocean, hoping to end it all, only to be netted by Tijuana shrimp fishermen who forced her to peel shrimp for years in a rickety boat, the best life she's ever known, before falling overboard in a hurricane and washing ashore in San Francisco at the precise moment an 7.4 earthquake hit. How she got to the Greyhound station in Sparks she was still unclear, and could he spare a hundred bucks to help her find her rightful family, whom, she believed, might at this moment be remorsefully searching for her on the outskirts of Death Valley. By now dry-eyed and stone-hearted, he reached into his wallet for a five, which he slipped into the outer pocket of her spangled handbag and, not looking back, hopped quickly onto his bus while she prattled on with her Tale of Whoa!

Tales of Hoffman

A musical work written by Jacques Offenbach; it exults the lives of famed Hollywood actors Dustin L. and Philip S.
The Tales of Hoffman were written by an excellent musician, excellent musician. Yeah, he's an excellent musician; he was my MAIN MAN way back when. Jeopardy is on at eight.

a ross thomas tale

A story that is usually very unbelievable. It may have some factual elements but not always necessary. The story is usually based on fiction rather then theory.

Don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story.
A Ross Thomas Tale started with ‘ypu need to see this, In Switzerland the leg of this giant chair was blown up by a huge bomb’...... true story is.... a giant chair with a broken leg and stands across the street from the Palace of Nations, in Geneva. It symbolises opposition to land mines and cluster bombs, and acts as a reminder to politicians and others visiting Geneva.

Tell-Tale Fart

When you are holding a fart in, quite suspensefully until eventually you release it, hoping no one realizes that it has come from you.
Narrator: “Villians! dissemble no more! I admit the deed! here, here! — it is the smell of my tell-tale fart!”

Pilgrimm's Fairy Tales

Da "unicorns and rainbows" kiddie-version of da history of da first colonists' settling in da "new world", which leaves out much of da "grim" realities of their actual "adventures", such as lack of preparedness, unwise habits, mistreating da indigenous residents, etc.
Da Salem witch-trials could perhaps be given da "grim grins" title of "Pilgrimm's Fairy Tales", as well, in dat da absurdly-preposterous "stories" dat were told about said trials' unfortunate accused were merely "fairy tale" --- i.e., largely fanciful and imaginary --- statements dat were made by da plaintiffs who were of Puritan lineage, da same as da original travelers on da "named for what comes after April showers" ship.
