You're all very welcome! Well-deserved listings.

Thanks for the mention Starbeast. (Running with blades! )

 

[crystal haven]

Thank you for the mentions, Hex, Bowler1 and Moonbat. And thank you, Perp, for the award.

I must sit down, read through all the stories again and make my lists.

 

[Cascade]

Thanks Kerrybuchanan for the long listing and Juliana and Moonbat for the shortlisting and Starbeast and CC for the mention/Honourables and Alchemist for the vote.

 

[High Eight]

OK, here are the mentions and vote of the High Eight jury..............

1. Luiglin - Are astral anchovies as salty as earth ones? I liked the concerned gargoyle too.
2. Tywin - I think I saw a similar theory on QI. Clever use of it here.
3. Cat's Cradle - If aliens have really been watching our TV for sixty years, I genuinely pity them.
4. Sancho - And I thought MY story need an apology. Real Groan-worthy stuff! Loved it!
5. BigJ - DIS-gusting! [Snigger]

And my vote goes to: - Cat's Cradle.

 

[Cat's Cradle]

You're welcome, Cascade!

And High Eight, thank you so much for the vote!

 

[Starbeast]

Thank you SB and CC for the mentions!

You're very welcome Lady Juliana. Nicely written story, that gave me an appetite for peanuts.

Thanks for the mention Starbeast. (Running with blades! )

You're welcome High Eight. Meshing the end of Blade Runner with Android Roy, was a fantastic idea.

Thanks Kerrybuchanan for the long listing and Juliana and Moonbat for the shortlisting and Starbeast and CC for the mention/Honourables and Alchemist for the vote.

You're welcome Cascade. I love a good zinger at the end of a story. There were a lot of good ones this month, and your tale floated to the top.

 

[Grimward]

Thanks for the mention, Perp.

Am still chuckling over "Commander Checkout"...

 

[Droflet]

Now this is getting silly. Another vote? What's the world coming to? Still, many thanks to CC. I guess some of us are still moved by toilet humor. No pun intended.

 

[Luiglin]

Thanks for the mentions so far folks. I've been using the like post option to use as thanks.

Top three for me...

Juliana - nicely painted picture in my head
HighEight - good reworking of a classic quote
Sancho - that last line had me grinning

The vote went to Sancho just for the chihuahuas

 

[Ashleyne]

Thanks for listing my story as a runner up, Cascade. In these challenges, I always go with the philosophy: If one person likes my story, it was worth writing.

I've still to read most entries. I should be posting my list and vote sometime tomorrow.

 

[Juliana]

Thanks Luiglin!

 

[Sancho]

Thanks to SB and to High Eight for the mentions and yes, I am not above taking "groan worthy..." as a compliment
Special thanks to Luiglin for the vote, the Chihuahuas are going mad

Well done everyone, great stories. Onto my shortlist in no particular order:
Martin 321 -Staying alive after a rush job - Gotta love a Deathstar Glitter ball!
Phybrebrat - This story purrs like Schrodingers cat would have
Perp - Where no man has gone before - Anything with Captain Spick in it works for me
Cats Cradle - First Contact Why you laughter - I will never be able to look at a maxi pad the same way

My vote goes to Cats Cradle

 

[Starbeast]

Heh heh. And you may have left a mark upon others from last month, but that will wash off eventually. I'll do my best to close the lid on porcelain humor for next month. But I'll fall off my stool with laughter if the winner of this month chooses this behind-the-door subject for the next theme.

Thanks for the mentions so far folks. I've been using the like post option to use as thanks.

You're welcome Luiglin. I can almost never pass up anything with pizza. Well done (I mean you, not the pizza).

My vote goes to Cats Cradle

You're very welcome Sancho. Excellent 2001 Space Odyssey canine parody.
