Exactly what I was thinking, thanks DG

 

[Bowler1]

so in the spirit of this months genre, your ray guns are now wet kippers.

'My RAY GUNS,' gasps Bowler1.

THUD - Bowler1 has passed out in shock and is now completely unresponsive.

Pucker up baby, here comes the kiss of life!

Pucker up baby, here comes the kiss of life....

..... with a three week old trout

Pucker up baby, here comes the kiss of life!

Crikey!!!

Also the worlds fastest recovery and 100m sprint....

 

[Parson]

Parson strolls in, slips on fish slime, falls flat on his behind and wonders: "What's going on here? Anyway?"

 

[Parson]

StillLearning... Brilliant! I say again brilliant. A perfect rendering of a absurd road not taken.

StilLearning -- enfarcement

I thought all your smiles were innocent.

Naturally *Drippingly Innocent smile*

this is getting out of hand. we don't really want bowler getting bowled or droflet dropping off, so in the spirit of this months genre, your ray guns are now wet kippers.

feel free to slap each other in the face with them.

hopewrites, unfortunately your giant now has a fish gun

You changed Ray's name to Kipp?
*inspects cannon* Kipp, are you alright in there? You're not the Kipp I grew up with are you?
*mumbled answer from cannon's depths*
Right then, um. Where you want me to point it then?
*cannon rumbles*
OK *Chipper Smile*

*Hope aims in the direction of the shops with proper trajectory for Christmas shopping, lights the wick and hops back*

[Droflet]

I have seen this many times and continually wonder at the genius behind such madness. What would it have looked like on the page. One man slaps another with a couple of kippers. The other hits back with a larger fish. That's it really. But still, after all these years, I laugh at this absurd piece of brilliant nonsense.

Cleese is currently touring the talk shows, flogging the PB release of his bio. I forget upon which; but he remarks that this bit is the epitome of "silly" and "meaningless"; being the goal of the pythons. When they were working on a compilation show, of some sort, this bit was the sole (so to speak) bit nominated by each and every python; and the only bit that no one argued against including.

I'm hanging out for the next challenge. Is there any precedent for a mid-month, flash-fiction, competition-challenge? It's another, like (as the young folk say), eight days before the next one.

If you're up for a quick, 8-day Haiku Challenge then I'm up for it. Have to be off the record though, probably in the Workshop thread.

if you're up for it
We could set a precedent.
Haiku week is on.
