Re: DISCUSSION the 75 Word Challenge JUNE 2011

Easy for you, Karn, but I haven't a clue!

And of course for a mouse, where there's nourishment , there's usually a trap.

Re: DISCUSSION the 75 Word Challenge JUNE 2011

It wasn't at all easy for me Mouse. I tried to Morcalialize my story and I found that that didn't fit with the Kipling style so I brooded for three or four days over the damn thing until I came up with what I did.


You're more clever than I am so you'll come up with something. Don't let the clockwork mouse kill your muse now.



Unless it IS your muse....

I hope, Chaoticheart, that you're not suggesting I'm ploughing a lonely furrow.

And I'm not. Anyone can make a pun here, karn't they? They don't have to ask, and haven't for ages. And they certainly don't have to go on bended knee and plead, if only because we're no longer in the so-called Beg Era....

You know what Ursa, I can't bear your jokes. You stand on your soap box, like a parson going on and on and on like a perpetual man with a chaotic heart.

Get a grip man, otherwise the judge will spur your platty

Shouldn't that be 'holy muse'...Batman?

All I have to say to that, GC, is thank you for not involving my name in such an eye gouging.....

I've not thought about it too much yet, it's been at the back of my mind so maybe I will come up with something. It'd have to be soon though as we're (possibly) moving house on the tenth so I'll be without internet for a bit until everything's up and running!

Re: DISCUSSION the 75 Word Challenge JUNE 2011

I think I'd consider it a prize not to experience any of that. Hehe.

When I read your poem, the first line drew me in. I repeated the poem out loud with an impression of Churchill.

So imagine, a deep distinctive voice and your great meaningful words.

Well done PM, at the moment you've got my vote

 

[paranoid marvin]

Re: DISCUSSION the 75 Word Challenge JUNE 2011

I assume you mean the PM and not the dog? But for who will this month be their finest hour?

Oh, and thanks for lending me your vote; I'll take good care of it

Re: DISCUSSION the 75 Word Challenge JUNE 2011

So you have a nodding acquaintance with Churchill, do you, Gary?









Please say, "Oh, yes!"

Ha ha, very funny. If only I could be as humerous as you...

Dream, dream on, or even as poetic as Paranoid Marvin maybe.

By the way, why didn't I call myself Paranoid Gary. It would've been so fitting...

Good one Parson

MstrTal, I forgot to mention-------REAL tractors are red!

Eh I am a city boy to me tractors come in a tiny little box with the word "Mattel" stamped on them! The only exception being the one my crazy Uncle who bought this old bright green JD (didn't know what it was at the time and didn't care I was a teen) with tires taller than his single story house on it.

Maybe I should try a Kipling style story about a crazy Indianapolis redneck driving his brand new bright green tractor with bush-hog on the back down the middle of a four lane highway. Hmmmm might even be able to get 75 words out of it and still squeeze in the antidote about the time he brought home the semi and my other Uncle took out his wife's white picket fence.

If you want to hear about crazy relatives, Tal, my great-grandfather, who's been dead now over ten years, once tried to shoot a mouse off his television set.


He also, in his day, set himself on fire, crushed a Fiat with a tree, and because of a runaway Jeep, killed a cow at the bottom of a mountainside. And that's just a few things I can remember off the top of my head.

Are we related?

Who knows? Though my family's been born in Oregon since at least his time.

Re: DISCUSSION the 75 Word Challenge JUNE 2011

A very appetising start to this month's challenge and I look forward to the other servings to come. I would like to applaud Perp's, Chaoticheart's and Anhalo's entries - There is, I feel going to be some very rich pickings this month. (And I expect we all feel slightly better read for it)
