Discussion Thread December 2019 75 Word Writing Challenge.

Congrats @dannymcg, a worthy win

Thanks to @mosaix for the vote and for the mentions folks.

Just for @Parson. I knew that many wouldn't get my tale, it is very British in content, but I couldn't help myself. The key word was "pantomimed"...

Oh, no it isn't!
Oh, yes it is!

... the verb of pantomime - a good old British Christmas tradition and often the home of a pantomime horse crewed by two actors, one playing the head, the other the backside. In the case of Jack and the Beanstalk, it becomes a cow. For Aladdin? A camel. For the Dark Lord? It had to be a unicorn

To me, you can't beat a good panto, innuendo riddled, slapstick filled, joyous fun for all ages.

Cheers all and Happy New Year

Congratulations dannymcg. When t came to the original vote I was very hard pushed to choose between my old friend Starbeast and Danny, SB won out by a thin shaving of a cats whisker. So when it came to the tie it was quite an easy decision.
