DISCUSSION THREAD -- AUGUST 2023 -- 75 Word Writing Challenge

[Lacedaemonian]

Thought it was a very cool idea.

 

[Parson]

Life situations have been slowing my chronning, but now I can pick up and read some stories.

@AnRoinnUltra .... The mechanical parable of Flumberdinck Unterwhackle .... Sometimes the clothes unmake the man.

@Lacedaemonian .... A breech of confidentiality .... Sometimes clothes just have to communicate their displeasure.

@Aknot .... Parvenues Beware .... Sometimes a recommendation isn't recommended for everyone.

@emrosenagel .... Fast Fashion Feeds .... Sometimes fast fashion is fast fun.
*I've a mental picture that I can't unsee. I'm still chuckling.

@Daysman .... fashion victim .... Sometimes wearing the wrong underclothes is a very bad choice.

@Yozh .... Heavy is the Head .... Sometimes the crown slips and sometimes that is very dangerous indeed.

@Elckerlyc .... 'Civilians, however, Must Remain Bareheaded' {from Dictate 722,973b} .... Sometimes you clothing is whimsical and yet critical.

@Bowler1 .... Take me to your Leader! .... Sometimes cultural appropriations lead to malfunctions.
*I misread tentacles for testicles. Which was really funny, or at least it was to me.

@Rjalex .... AMEILIA’S SHIRT .... Sometimes you cling to the only thing you've left to cling to.

@Cat's Cradle .... Love, Clone, Tailor (used as verbs) .... Sometimes the line between you and me ceases to exist.

------

It seems clear that something about clothing brings out the comedians in our midst. There're probably more laugh out loud funny stories so far than we have in a normal 6 months.

@emrosenagel .... Fast Fashion Feeds .... Sometimes fast fashion is fast fun.
