"Not bad, for a biscuit eater," Cho zinged.
I am a poor, wayfaring stranger
Wandering through this world of woe
But there's no sickness, no fear or danger
In that bright land

"A biscuit eater who doesnt know how to make biscuits, you mean" deflected Brad, re-directing Cho's slightly off-target zinger.

"Oh, Brad where is your apostrophe?" chuckled Cho, "Have you forgotten how to make a contraction?"

"Please remember to check your spelling, grammar - no, Brad, grammar, not grammy - and punctuation before posting, not at the door," directed the Spelling Mistress.


"And Brad? This is from Brynnie," she appended.

"I didn't get a chance to write last night when I got home," pouted Cho.

"And I had nothing new to read today," grouched Kvetch.

"Ha, ha," smirked an evil forum troll who drifted through.

"Quiet, you!" sneered Kvetch.

"Yeah, or we'll bus' you up," cracked Cho.

"Quiet, no talent hack," the troll flouted, "My grocery lists are more entertaining."

"What do you buy?" Cho cracked, "Edible underpants and chocolate body cream?"

Kvetch bantered, "Avast, evil troll! We spurn you!"

"Ha ha ha," the troll repudiated, "there is nothing you can do or say to make me leave!"


"Here I come to save the day!" spoofed Laurie, who pounded the troll repeatedly upon the head with her handy mallet.

"Oooh," the troll slurred, "That hurt."

"Pain for a pain," punned Kvetch.

"Why do these stupid trolls come around bothering decent people trying to have fun?" Cho railed.

"I hope you all realize that this war could eventually grow to encompass a significant percentage of the thousands of the verbs in the English language" pontificated Brad, with an exasperated sigh. :roll:

"If you don't mind me getting philosophical for a moment" he waxed, "we could be here until the proverbial cows come home." :|

"It's quite likely you are right, Brad," Cho allowed.

"It's good clean fun, so it is permitted," Kilt endorsed.

"I agree," Laurie approved.

"No one has behaved badly at all," noted Hunter.

"You forget that semi-pornographic Darby/Valkyrie post. We can't have any more of those," Laurie stipulated.

"That was a bit dicey," Cho judged.

"I find that post appropriate; as a mod, I say we should have more like it," Kvetch authorized.

"Bring 'em on, Brad!" MK welcomed.

"If the majority finds it appropriate, I'm in favor," Kilt okayed.

"I'm up to the challenge and ready to meet it," Brad established.

"We'll have to read them, I guess," Laurie recognized.

"It's true," Cho verified.

[Rated PG-13, due to suggestive dialogue]
Spoiler: show
"Well allrighty then" complied Darby, while being forcefully dragged back into the shrubbery by his beloved & delightfully frisky Valkyrie beau. :deviate:

"Yeah baby ... oooh that's the spot ... Oh, I'm sooo close ... faster ... a little more to the left, my love ... yes ... not quite so hard ... oooooh, that's perrrrrfect, you sexy little inept mortal you ... Yes .... YES ... YEEEESSS !!!" urged the voluptuous Valkyrie bombshell from behind the shrubbery, twisting poor darby into a pretzel and nearly choking the life outta him with her quasi-divine strength.

"Touch me touch me touch me touch me - I want to feel DIRTY !!" she belted out suddenly, in her booming operatic voice ... the lyrics from her favorite scene in "The Rocky Horror Picture Show". :twisted: :smokin:
"Cho's probably gonna KILL me for that" pondered Brad to himself, as he finished typing these last few words. :help:

"Bradley Q. Whomever!" Cho thundered, peeling the wrapping off the gritty bar of lava soap. "You come here right this instant!"

"I know I can take care of the mouth and the fingers," she dithered, "But how in the world am I going to get at his mind?"

"Well now see here ... being that my name IS INDEED Brad, and being that the movie "Rocky Horror" DOES INDEED mention lil ol me specifically by NAME ..." wallowed Brad, hip-deep in cinematic allegorical legalese "... and what the heck are you looking at anyway ? Cant a couple have any privacy around here ?!" he submitted next, suddenly changing course in mid-rant. :roll: :lol:

"Brad is worse than an 'inept little mortal' - Brynnie's words, not mine," Laurie accused, "He's an inept, perverted, little mortal."

"I must think of a suitable punishment," she mused, "One that both punishes him for past behavior and teaches him acceptable future behavior."

"It's obvious that physical punishment doesn't work with him. It'll have to be mental punishment." she ended.

"Darby is a nerd in addition to being a pervert," abused Byrnnie.

"You shouldn't talk about me like that," Darby criticized.

"And you shouldn't write such horrible, twisted, shocking, nasty things!" Brynnie vituperated.
