      Heheheh. I expect to see a murder's worth of greatness from you in here.

      "I can't get no satisfaction..." god that's a catchy song; I'm listening to it right now.

  • "chill your boner"
    lovely. there should be a contest based around that phrase, as well.

  • lol i preferred mine hard boiled

  • Christ, now I have to try to drudge something up for a prompt like that. Damn these inspiring contests when all I want to do is be lazy and not write again for six months. lol

      I know I'm going to love a sentence that begins with 'Christ'.

      • Usually my phrase is "christ on a stick" but I was feeling particularly benevolent towards jesus lovers today, so left it out.

  • hmmmm

  • For the love of peanut butter... more people need to enter this already so I can gauge my chances of winning before I submit my crap. LOL

      Very true.
      But nothing should stop you from entering, Oh Peachy One.

      • It wont, but I don't like my brilliance out-shone by another. It does something all squiggly and mushy to my ego.

          I know what that's like ... blows to the ego are usually performed by the poet themselves; when inadvertently caused by would-be more talented people ... well, that's just damned annoying.

          The most untalented people don't even ask for permission...you definitely don't need to.

          And I need to extend this contest.

              No, it was meant to parallel that you (NOT an untalented person) asked for permission when you didn't need to.

    Thank you for the bronze -- I really wasn't expecting anything but vomit from that piece ... and no - the hiatus isn't from MSN as well - that was just me being busy and breaking my computer
