OK â€“ fixed my old post so it fits on the screen better.

Great posts Brad and Cho

, you shouldnâ€™t hold that kind of powerful stuff in for weeks on end â€“ youâ€™ll blow yourselves up

.

Iâ€™ll score them soon.

I figured you'd like the 930E reference, given your profession and job location

I've still got a partial Pirates of Penzance thing, but it got overwhelming, so I shelved it until I had more time to focus on it. With my mom's stuff going on, I just haven't had the focus I needed.

So, it's there....eventually, maybe it will go up.

Fantastic posts people!!!

. . . a tiny cigar-chomping midget . . . sad yet curious . . . awesomely massive 930E Super Dumper . . . their hands below camera . . .

/me panhandles for an extra point by shoehorning in a WOTD reference before Cho can think of it.

Ummmm. Wasn't effusive the word of the day? I think I had it right up at the top. Wuz ah robbed? Ah say, Ah say, Wuz ah robbed?

Edit: Um. yeah. It was the first word of my genre section. Hey!

Post by **Darb** » Tue Oct 12, 2004 6:26 pm

Aww damn, Cho beat me to it.

I humbly defer, milady ... didn't notice you'd already nabbed it.

You need to bold the WOTD so the judge can see it!

I was just teasing. It's totally fine.

I forgot all about the word of the day until Brad started teasing me about it. Then I remembered and thought, "Hm. I thought I put that in there." So I went and checked and BEHOLD....so I thought my turn to tease.

You must remember, folks, that Justice is blind.

Or (around here) merely visually impaired.

Great posts, Brad and Cho

We had about twenty of those 930Es here for awhile; weâ€™ve shipped them off to another mine the company owns.

Felonius--nicely done! Very crisp images.

felonius · Post by **felonius** » Tue Oct 26, 2004 12:36 pm

Okay - sorry I've been away for so long.

Hope that post isn't too dark for the board but it's in a similar vein to another story I'm tinkering with and I was just going with the moment...will lighten up a bit for my next one, promise...

Post by **Darb** » Tue Oct 26, 2004 2:18 pm

Well, that was our 2nd suicide contemplation scene ... although I think yours is a LOT better written than mine (which was somewhat tongue in cheek)

Well done !

I have some ideas waiting to be turned into posts, but I'm limited on time at the moment. I'll get to it as soon as I can.

Post by **laurie** » Tue Oct 26, 2004 11:04 pm

Excellent, Felonius

Post by **Darb** » Fri Oct 29, 2004 2:32 pm

Here's a partial list of genres ideas that I've been meaning to flesh out into posts ... I just havent had the time yet:

* Dark Liberals of the Sith (or perhaps a Maxwell Smart / Austin Powers tribute)
* Fanzine Interview and/or IRC Chatlog
* Hollywood Makeover / QE5 (probably for Kong)
* Competative Literary Figureskating
* Gothic Fantasy
* Campfire Stories

You could hook that one in with the Oprah Show--after the spin-dry, the clip-n-curl!

Post by **Darb** » Fri Oct 29, 2004 6:34 pm

I'm the generous sort ... if anyone would like to sink their teeth into one of the ideas I listed, feel free to dig in. I'm kinda limited on time ATM.

, me didnâ€™t score the post last week.

Heh heh. Had a minute and couldn't resist.

Hehehe ... exactly how I'd have acted if I was the ghost

You're such a role model for me, Brad....

Whatever will my mother say???
