lol Kahrey. That was pretty good--and really cheesy

Aunflin · Post by **Aunflin** » Fri May 14, 2004 12:23 pm

All right, there's my post. I'm sure glad we added on that extra hour...

Great stuff, Aunf & Kahrey.

The only part that was a little unpolished was the bit about "crushing her teeth" in K's post. Other than that, everything's great.

I'd post, but I'm leaving for the weekend, and won't return until Monday.

Since I'm the Moderator, I guess I'll judge this one:

/me puts on my robes and grabs the gavel...

Ghost, not too bad.

Sherlock Winner for Week 3

felonius 16

Brad_H 13
Aunflin 7
Kahrey 7
Ghost 4

I feel much more comfortable with this gavel in my hand than that quill. I donâ€™t think I pick that up again for some time. I hope I didnâ€™t screw up the story too much with my amateur attempt, the scene looked so much better in my head.

Aww rats - I leave on a 3 day weekend, and felonius laps me while I'm gone

felonius · Post by **felonius** » Mon May 17, 2004 8:52 am

Ghost - don't sell yourself short, dude. I personally love my nouns high and firm.

Brad - want some nitrous?

Post by **Darb** » Mon May 17, 2004 9:00 am

Ok, ok, let's not go too crazy with the boobs ... we don't want to scare off the ladies who might wish to participate

Sammy + Grilka: I hope you'll consider participating. We'd love to have ya join in.

Felonius: Sure, I'll take a hit.

/me accepts a balloon full, inhales it deeply, and smiles

felonius · Post by **felonius** » Mon May 17, 2004 9:10 am

Demographic! Right, right! Apologies for mild sexism. My genuine self bows low before the awesome capacity for multi-tasking present in the female...

I too hope Grilka chooses to participate - I really enjoyed reading her posts in the last volleyball thread.

Post by **Ghost** » Mon May 17, 2004 11:14 pm

I edited out the gratuitous comments, I hope no one was offended.

I wish someone would pick up a quill and get the story rolling again.

Post by **Darb** » Tue May 18, 2004 10:38 am

I was just suggesting we show a little restraint on a forward basis, in order not to scare off the ladies I invited. I wasnt suggesting we go back and re-edit what we've already done.

Felonius - excellent, but a tad short.

felonius · Post by **felonius** » Tue May 18, 2004 10:52 am

It would have been longer if I didn't have work to do...

Post by **Darb** » Tue May 18, 2004 12:50 pm

I have a neat idea for a "biotech thriller" post. Don't wait for me though ... not sure when I'll get to it.

However, I'm hoping to tie up a couple of loose ends in the plot, as well as explain a few things

Very good, felonius

Beach blanket bingo for Gen-Y

Are we still puttting letter tags after 'generation'? Ve must classify all ze demographics, ja? I thought that ended with Douglas Coupland. And I don't think Frankie Avalon would have lasted an hour in Thailand.

There was a great book published in Britain around '97 called 'Disco Biscuits - Tales of the Chemical Generation' that all current and former ravers should read - this was slightly after what I consider the glorious heydey of late '89-'95 and really did a wonderful job capturing the collective global experience. What I wouldn't give to be back in those old dripping warehouses and farmer's fields sometimes...

Felonius: Just travel back there in your imagination and write us a novel about it. I'm sure it would be a fascinating read

felonius · Post by **felonius** » Wed May 19, 2004 11:24 am

Aunflin - it's already been done - alternatively well and poorly - by people like Douglas Rushkoff, Irvine Welsh, Steve Aylett, Sarah Champion, and Iain Banks.

The problem with being an avid reader and an aspiring writer is that you are constantly in fear of your own work being painfully derivative.

Thanks for the kind word, though. I've been working on the sucker for close to a year but there aren't enough *#$%^*& hours in the day...
