Discussion 75 Word Challenge -- MARCH

[Warren_Paul]

Just don't start stories about spiders...

So now we know what to make next month's theme about...

 

[Perpetual Man]

So now we know what to make next month's theme about...

Indeed we do.


Anything but spiders.

 

[David Evil Overlord]

Indeed we do.


Anything but spiders.

Scorpions?

 

[Warren_Paul]

Scorpions?

I think the stories would all have very sharp endings.

 

[David Evil Overlord]

I think the stories would all have very sharp endings.

A sting in the tale?

 

[Warren_Paul]

Loved your entry this month, Pyan.

 

[nixie]

Anything but spiders.

Maybe i should tell Freda you said that

 

[Abernovo]

Hilarious and sublime, pyan.

 

[TacticalLoco]

I liked it very much as well, pyan.

 

[MemoryTale]

Memory Tale,

What the heck, my middle name IS Romanadravetnulunda.
Bob R. S. Sr.

This conversation would have been much more amusing for me if you'd been called Fred

 

[hopewrites]

Sure, very convincing...

so glad, I was worried the barbeque sauce stains under my nails would give it away. Never can seem to get those...

Hopewrites: You know, I think this explains a lot. I always knew refrigerators were nothing more than magical boxes! How else does that little light flip on when the door opens? But all jokes aside, this was an interesting twist on the theme that, while anticipated, would make into a perfect children's story.

and much better then the story I couldnt quite figure out how to write at all involving a peach who didnt want to be canned because she thought she was the sun.

And a very nice first attempt it was too; Vertigo, Stormcow, HW, all excellent. *Hope you are going to have to do something about the fridge.... *

hmm I am arent i. The whole room is mouthy, but i suspect the fridge to be harboring those with the coldest dispositions.

Hope, what did I tell you about pizza at bedtime?

On the other hand, perhaps a strong sleeping pill -- I'm sure I would need one, if my fridge was like yours!

Its not my fault! I was just on my way back to bed from the candy filled pantry and over heard the whole thing.

Hope – How strange? And to start with I thought we were going to have a hellish opus conducted by a large rock singer. (which reminds me I have not listened to that in ages?). Instead we have an unsettling tale of a disgruntled committee representing the community of a fridge taking things into their own hands. If I knew the refrigerator had life like that inside it, and was left a message in sauce on the door it get the best clean of its life. Which reminds me...

whos to say my meatloaf doesnt have Meatloaf in it?? (I will, it doesnt.) What I want to know is how that mold-covered-thing keeps evading my dead-food-detector.



I have been transformed back into a human for a few hours and must say what a delight it is to read your stories. I anticipate being a rosebush again soon, what with weddingness coming on fast. but since they have to be done before voting I have no fear of missing out on that fun.

You getting married Hope? Or part of the bridal party?

Glad to see you got your priorities straight, finding the time to still take part in the challenge while dealing with all that.

 

[hopewrites]

oh party to be sure!!! much as i like my brother i would not want to marry him. and lovely as his bride to be is, she is just not my type.
and since nature doesnt make roses in exactly the shade of purple desired for the wedding, my parents and I are stepping up and making them. (hence my transformation into a flowering plant) and since we dont want the tables upstaging the bridal bouquet, we are also making the flowers for them too. but they are not roses, they're more mummish i guess. my memory is horrendous with names and while I know what it is when I look at it, i doubt my ability to name it properly. (not usually a problem because flowers dont heel no matter what you call them)
I have my buss ticket for the 16hr ride, but it turns out my dress might be the wrong color... so i'm bringing two.

 

[David Evil Overlord]

Is the rosebushness metaphorical, i.e. the blushing bride blushed prettily, and as red as a rosebush? Or are you not the bride, and the uncanny nature of this month's challenge has led you to embrace magical realism, and literally turn green with chlorophyll rather than envy? And if I can think of a polite way to bring up the thorny question of rosebush thorns...

And then Hope writes, and posts just before I do, and renders my meaningless waffling meaningless.

 

[hopewrites]

i am not a thornless bush. my mother will stand witness to that.

 

[David Evil Overlord]

That's why I thought I should find a polite way to mention it.

Another thorny question is how to trim my wildly growing long short list.

 

[hopewrites]

Pruning sheers? I couldnt begin to be helpful except to suggest looking at the thread in this section about "how one chooses whom to vote for" whose name I cant quite recall at the moment.

 

[Warren_Paul]

Can never be too prepared. Hope it goes well, don't prick yourself too many times pretending to be a rosebush.


Anyway... back on topic...

*turns super secret squirrel and hides from moderators*


@DEO I don't know how you're going to shorten it down, perhaps just not have one at all? Might be the easiest solution, then everyone wins!

 

[David Evil Overlord]

It's okay. I have 42 votes, don't I?

 

[hopewrites]

that would be the answer to everything wouldnt it
