That's cute Mlou, was that written in the lou-ver?
Ok, that doesn't rhyme, but I tried. I'm not up to the level of the Spellcheck Zorro and poetry Goddess... Did you just think of that just now?

But had he not chiseled away the marble from a solid block, we would not have the sculpture of David? :D (BTW...his name isn't Michael Angelo...it's Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni) I'm so embarrassed :oops: . I remember now his name is spelled as one word, but I forgot how to spell it l...

Jell-O wresling with Madona?

Ahhh, thanks people for all the advice. I think I can hack down to size though.... I've always hated limits though when it comes to writing. I mean, just think if Michael Angelo could only paint 300 square feet of Sistine Chapel, the Vatican wouldn't be the same place it is today...

Well Duh 'Blick, I did say I needed to do editing... or maybe chain-sawing might be a better term (darn word limits ....)

He who dares must back it up by doing the same thing himself. Where's YOUR entry, PofC? Oh I'm entering, I am entering... I just finished the story yesterday, but it's 5000 words long, me thinks I need to do a bit of editing (ain't that an understatement... :roll: ) But you need not worry my fair l...

I just might enter with one of my stories though. Why not, it goes to a worthy cause.

(Is it tax deductible? )

Do it man~! Just do it! I dare you, no, I DOUBLE DARE YOU. (There, that ought to do it)

Thanks Hyker, compared with what you do/have done, I can't compare my life to yours. That's one thing I envy about you Hyker, all the cool things you've done. ALso it's the stories you tell, they are so cool. Like the time your friend made it with that cow. I want to party with you...

MSlover, that was a very sensuous poem. You write so sensitively and responsively. I am in awe of your versatility too. You can really convey the joy and warmth of simple human contact. Your descriptions are so romantic. You sure do live up to your name. Keep the wondrous poems coming!

My main specialities are Harry Potter (particularly in relation to Arthurian legend) and rugby league football - you can't be a rugby fan for fourteen years and not know a fair bit about the game :) Fan fiction is another area in which I have some expertise. Does that mean you have knowledge of the...

You know, I’ve never seen this thread before. I guess I can put my $.02 in. OK, specialties. I've been married and divorced and raised two fine children, a son who will be graduating (hopefully) from the University of Alaska, Fairbanks next spring and a daughter who will be graduating from high scho...

Hey Debangel, that's the Jedi Creedo. Very well written! I likes

PLEASE take note of the black dot flying towards the center of the balloons.

What is it? A bird, a spaceship, a presidential candidate?

I have some extremely powerful photo editing software. I blew up the photo many times. I know what the dot is. It's Darth Vader's Death Star!

Only to dog people Hyker, only to dog people...

Oh I don't know Sakkasie, I seem to have honed my skills to a shattered-heart sharpness now that I'm older. I think the operative word you used is "through" though. Once you get through to the other side, the morning doesn't look quite so black, don't you think? ;) And yes, kitties are very non-judg...

Intriguing poem Sakkasie. I like the line "All there in black Arial 10 Point." Computers have both de-humanized and at the same time connected people. It is fascinating to be alive now as new mores are devised to guide communications with people all over the world yet paradoxically they are also wit...

Thanks Sakkasie, Mew appreciates the attention...

Thanks Kex, I LOVE Modest Mouse! That's a great song... turn it up!

Don't blame me, I just post here...

Did someone mention a Hybrid? lol

Supizzley Bean? To the rescue?

Oh don't worry Mlou, you're already on that list.

Is that part of your words for Mon? Nice Story. The ending seems a bit tame though, maybe you should work on adding some graphic details to your stories. Having your heart blown out through your back isn't graphic enough :shock: . Hyker, we got to talk... BTW, remind me never to tick off Kal. That'...

The "F" word you say? Well, my curiousity is certainly now piqued...

Uggg Mlou, it is so hard to argue with you... I'm being lazy right now and yet still trying to write a short story for the October contest so poetry is not on my short list of things to do, but I promise I'll look into it!
