Discussion Thread - March 2018 100 Word Anonymous Challenge

[jackwin]

To me, this will be " The Triskaidekaphobia Challenge ". (That's for a certain Chroner who has chased me to the dictionary more than once). All the stories were fun but some made me guess and comment so here goes;Positions Available, Cathbad. You could always go to work for the mouse!
Battle for Britain, The Judge. They came to serve man!
Weather Mistress, Dannymcg. She has her way with him!
Protective Custody, Starbeast. You're never safe!
Operation: Occupation Earth, Mosaix. I keep picturing Archie and Edith Bunker or George and Weezie Jefferson!
And Odysseus hid in the Great Horse, Victoria Silverwolf. Please turn off my lazy switch!

Vote goes to Operation: Occupation Earth. It's equally creative and hilarious!
Now if I could just get a certain song out of my head, everything would be fine.

That's all I'm going to attempt. The rest I would just be stabbing in the dark.

Pretty much always stabbing in the dark for the most part when I make my guesses.

 

[johnnyjet]

We currently have a two-way tie for first place and, coming up close behind, a two-way tie for second place. It's a tight race, folks. Who's going over the top? Keep those votes and guesses coming in.

 

[Peter V]

2 out of 3... happy with that. If I'd gone for 13 probably would have been 2 out of 13 !!

 

[Heijan Xavier]

Can I change my guesses?

 

[mosaix]

Can I change my guesses?

Have another go!

 

[Danny McG]

Well it seems we currently have 7 stories with votes and 6 virgin tales that are unsullied by such vulgar goings-on

I’d better not try to refine my guesses: I’ll quit while I’m ahead.

I've clearly gone a bit dotty this month as my short list contains the 3 titles with lots of dots in.
.... and Odysseus hid in the great horse
Well, Maybe A Quiet Place By The Sea…
Judge, Jury and…

And my vote went to
Well, Maybe A Quiet Place By The Sea…

 

[Hugh]

After much thought my vote went to:

Operation: Occupation Earth (#27)

Whoever wrote this has a deep understanding of all that is truly British and must have researched it over many years.

Here's a clue for you guessers, not one person has voted for my effort this time!

Together with my 75 word entry getting disqualified it makes a dismal month for me

I have this experience pretty regularly. There's just no accounting for taste.

Sometimes I want to like a post to show friendly support but the act of liking could be taken the wrong way, as with your post Danny. Cheer up. There’s always next month.
