I don't get that one. (sends royalty to Mr.Tweedy...)

Sometimes, I think they the Drabbles are best if they leave you wondering, "What the freak just happened" or "Uh, what?". Like the story-version of an Improbability Drive.

To a certain extent, I'd agree. I generally tend to subscribe to the "two second rule" where the "What the freak just happened" is followed by a hearty guffaw, or an Ewwwww, Yuck, or a OMFG. Artsy can be fine if done well "Navy Wife" comes to mind, where there really is no obvious answer to why the cycle is occurring but in my own experience in drabbling the ones that don't provide a payoff at some point leave the readers unsatisified. Like sex with no orgasm.

I can infer that perhaps the protaganist of your twabble is perhaps a dog or a mouse, maybe it's a reference to "Belling the cat" but at this point I haven't made any solid link between "The Plan" and the Twabble itself.

Dont take it personally. I thought "Resistance is Tasty" in the other twabble to be a very good line, (and yes I got the Adams reference when I read that one, and it prompted a genuine chuckle.)

Hey, I've decided to make a rule. I can do that, 'cause I'm the czar and stuff. From now on, anything that is intended to be an actual submission should be in bold text, like this. That way it will be harder to loose track of the actual twibbles amongst all the talk inspired by them.

Oh my, oh my. Just imagine what Tweedy's going to be like when he is the Forum Czar AND holds the Lord of the Tentacles title

Ducks and covers.

I really like this one do we vote or is it a decision made by the god above.

Thanks, Rev. Your stuff is awesome, too. I'm bringing my A-Game. 'cos of you. Let's dance, drabbloids!

I also had to read it twice. I must say that I would prefer to be the Lord of the Tentacles rather than what I thought it said at first. Much more utilitarian. (And I already have as many of the other as I expect to ever need.)

ROU has bestowed the title in honor my passing 1000 posts. (Yes, yes, I am great. Thank you, thank you. Autographs are $15; please form an orderly queue.)

The gods choose its fate. The gods are known to accept prayer and sacrifices, but there is no proof that this has any effect on their decisions.

If you've seen one god, you've seen 'em all.

Where have you been, Strawman? I even baited the traps with tasty gerunds for Miss.Grimsley...

(seriously, I already spotted them, and promised to gettem fixed...)

Ludwig and Ol Scratch shook hands. "Deal?" said Ludwig. "Deal," said Scratch. Ludwig touched his ears. "Huh?" he asked.

Finally, Geek that's not Greek. I like.
Wonder where he got that nickname.

"Really, Batman?"

The human(?) hit machine strikes again. I bow to your awesomeness.

I bet you could work that around so that it ends with "Old Chum" and make better of the expansive 100 characters to lead up to it.

But, I like the core idea.

Frank Gorshin was the best Batman Villain on the series... Discuss amongst yourselves... (over in the don't be shy forum.... Ima starting a poll..)

And now, a summary of the story I'm currently working on:

The tornado needed food if it wished to spawn. It looked and saw it's favorite food: a trailer park.

It's funny cuz it's true.

It also works if you substitute "Dorothy & Toto" for "a trailer park"

'I'll Love You Forever'


She was beautiful, and his forever: full lips, dimpled cheeks and aqualine nose were outlined perfectly in carbonite.
