Discussion thread -- January 2016 75-word Writing Challenge

[HareBrain]

The challenge thread is up. Happy new-year writing!

 

[HazelRah]

Interesting choice

 

[Perpetual Man]

Listen up bunny boy, do you think this is funny?

(Incidentally on the challenge thread, the link to the discussion takes you through to last months discussion)

 

[TitaniumTi]

Um...

There once was a cowboy called Babbitt
Who had a weird word-twisting habit.
For a feed of March hare
He shaved himself bare
But found he was eating a rabbit.

(Runs out of forum, screaming.)

 

[Hex]

I like it Weird West - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


(thanks for pointing out the link issue, Tim. It's fixed now)

 

[Droflet]

So I've got this right have I? It's hair and not the more obvious hare? And thanks Hex for the definition.

 

[TitaniumTi]

I like it

Despite my flippant response, I like it too.

 

[HareBrain]

So I've got this right have I? It's hair and not the more obvious hare?

Definitely hair. My choice wasn't consciously inspired by my username. Actually, I'm not sure what it was inspired by. Probably best not to think about it.

Let this be a lesson to us all - don't dream up challenge themes when your still drunk from New Year celebrations!

 

[Cat's Cradle]

I love the choices this month, HB! MY story is done, and just needs a ruling towards word count. Terrific story Hex, btw! Looking forward to reading all the entries this month. (I'm going to go peek now to see if the 300 worder photo is posted.) Best of luck with, as HB says, the Happy new-year writing, everyone! CC

 

[Juliana]

Yikes HB! And Hex, yuck. (and a chuckle, too.)

 

[Bowler1]

I have a bit of an idea already, just no punchline yet, but that will come. An interesting choice HB, and to get in the mood I'm wearing my RAY GUNS slung low and holstered this month. If anyone wants to call me out, I'll be in the saloon.

 

[pambaddeley]

I'll get my coat .......

 

[Perpetual Man]

I've just had an idea, but if I run with it, considering some of my stories in the past, I'm going to get the reputation as an elf hater.

 

[Mr Orange]

I have an idea, now I need to turn it into a story... Interesting theme and gene HB. In a good way.

 

[TheDustyZebra]

Yeah, and you had to go and change your name the last time....

Ya know something HareBrain. At first, I raised an eyebrow, and said, "Whaa." Then, an idea struck me, and within a couple of hours I posted. Now to see what the first two wrote.

You definitely thought of something different HareBrain. Nice going.

Folks 'round here can sure spin a yarn or two. I can recollect many a time I've heard a stretcher while leanin' on the cracker barrel down at the general store.

Hex had us all holdin' our sides with a whooper that started off like a real sad love story, but which had a funny kick at the end like a mule that's been chewin' loco weed.

Speakin' of funny, Starbeast came up with a wild tale about the unknown side of a couple of famous folk heroes.

 

[Starbeast]

Heh heh Thanks Lady Victoria. You're awesome as always. I like your Native American tale about a demon.

Plus I like Hex's hurtling hairy projectile tale.

 

[Perpetual Man]

Yeah, and you had to go and change your name the last time....

It's like witness protection.
