Morg says ",thank you 4 review"

jackwinabox57 -- Others may not appreciate the pride you take in your work.

 

[Parson]

@jackwinabox57 .... "CLUB HUMANITY" "COME JOIN" "ALL ARE WELCOME" .... Jack reminds us that often the first innovation is a murderous one.

@Perpetual Man .... Who Wants to Live Forever? .... Perp Man has written a horrific tale of a life worse than death.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Perpetual Man -- Remember the Hippocratic Oath: First, do no harm.

Bob Senior -- Always read the fine print.

*Idea!*

To find Mojo follow these instructions:

create a word with these letter mjoo.

Instructions unclear. Have mooj.

 

[Joshua Jones]

Instructions unclear. Have mooj.

I got ojom (which I presume is some sort of tribal instrument) and Joom (an off-brand insect spray?)

I did find Waldo, though...

Getting mojo is not supposed to be automatic. A minimal IQ is required.

 

[Joshua Jones]

Yeah, they vaccinated for that when I was in school...

 

[Cathbad]

An IQ vaccination??

<blink> <blink>

 

[Parson]

@Bob Senior .... The Chair .... Bob tells a tale of chair that is so much more than a chair. And where has grandpa gone?

@Stable .... You're All Right Now .... Sir Stable has left us scratching our heads as we try to remember the good times. There were good times? Right?

@M. Robert Gibson .... The Internet Of The Thing .... M. Robert reminds us that with the right connector anything, and he does mean anything, can be a weapon.

 

[Stable]

I got ojom

Interestingly (? perhaps?) Ojom the name of a god of palm trees and cooking. He was represented as a chubby figure with a palm leaf skirt and holding a ladle. There's a fun story where he ends up boiling Anansi's testicles and feeding the soup to his dog, which is where we get wolf spiders from.

Huh. Didn't know that. I assume this is a Polynesian mythology?

 

[Parson]

@scarpelius .... Do not add water! .... Scarpelius gives us a surprise ending which is exactly the opposite of the Wizard of Oz's liguidfied witch.

 

[scarpelius]

@Parson thank you. Though I don't know the Oz reference.

 

[Luiglin]

It's not very good but at least I'm in.

SLAP

 

[Luiglin]

SLAP

LOL... no need for slap. I stand by my comment. Not had time this month to do any writing at all due to work. This was a quick write up because I didn't want to miss entering. I had another idea but no time to develop it.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Stable -- Sometimes we don't like what we see in the mirror.

M. Robert Gibson -- New and improved isn't always better.

scarpelius -- Fixing little problems can lead to bigger ones.

Luiglin -- Love may be blind, but lovers should keep both eyes open.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Shyrka -- Halfway healed is not the same as well.

 

[Shyrka]

Thanks Victoria. I've been properly distracted by other things this month, so had no chance to write reviews of my own, etc. Fortunately I still just about managed to cobble something together in time.

 

[Stable]

Huh. Didn't know that. I assume this is a Polynesian mythology?

No, but good guess. Anansi is West African, so it would probably be from there if the whole thing wasn't fiction.
