Subject: RE: Non-music;Game for the literary minded. From: Snuffy Date: 04 Nov 00 - 05:59 PM The old ones are the best! I first heard the vicar and duchess one in the early 60s. But I think it was referring to a contest about 100 years ago. I can't remember for sure, but I think it might have been Kipling who submitted that one. Wassail! V |

Subject: RE: Non-music;Game for the literary minded. From: Diva Date: 02 Nov 00 - 01:59 PM She smiled quietly to herself,watching him as he lay snoring softly on the four poster bed. Her bodice lay on the floor where it had been cast off in the height of their passion;ripped to shreds. She felt like a complete woman for the first time in her long and eventful life. The operation was a total sucess,no one would ever guess that Evelynne De Montelimar,auburn haired mistress of the King had until recently been better known as Herbert Higgenbottom, master butcher and part time prize fighter. She blessed the day she'd tried on her first silk chemise. Enough of this musing she quaffed. It's time for a shave.......... |

Subject: RE: Non-music;Game for the literary minded. From: Matt_R Date: 02 Nov 00 - 10:28 AM Mike slowly removed the lid from his can of softground. Setting the lid down, he placed his acetylene torch on it. With a click of his striker, a long, mesmerizing blue flame shot from the end of the nozzle. Smiling to himself, he unwrapped a few twinkies he had gotten from the snack machine. He put three on the lid and popped the forth into his mouth. Mike stood back and smiled. He lifted the loaded lid and carefully walked into the room. "Happy Birthday to Youuuuuuuu...." he sang. |

Subject: RE: Non-music;Game for the literary minded. From: okthen Date: 02 Nov 00 - 09:33 AM On being told I'd lost the plot, I knew immediately that there was a plot, and that I had been right, and all those smart young men young men in their clean white coats were wrong. I told them there was no need for all those pills, injections and restraints, or that room with the soft walls,which only served to stop me from talking to those other people there who believed me. I told them there was a plot,I told them, I just don't know what it was. cheers bill |

From: Lena Date: 02 Nov 00 - 08:14 AM It was right at the beginning of that suumer that Fiona,the fairiest among all maidens ,started having this salivating feeling.

Subject: RE: Non-music;Game for the literary minded. From: katlaughing Date: 01 Nov 00 - 09:43 PM What Dr. Steinberg, his psychiatrist, really meant was Write the novel, with the brilliant main character being THE psychiatrist, modeled on myself of course, and feed my ego, feed my ego, tell the whole WORLD how I healed your penchant for living in such an `indescribably disgusting, miserable, debilitating, tedious, and grossly irritating world.' YES! Tell the world!!!, he laughed maniacally, quoting himself being quoted in the now written novel. |

From: GUEST,khandu Date: 01 Nov 00 - 06:28 PM "YES, YES", shouted Percy, the gimp, as he ran helter-skelter through the crowded theatre lobby (the feature starred that flamboyant rascal, Jack Webb) exhulting in his new-found revelation that he, Percy, was more like he is today than he was when he was like what he was before he got to be like he is today. |

From: GUEST,Bardford Date: 01 Nov 00 - 06:11 PM I made my way through the crowded pub, shopping bag in hand, and sat down between the violin player and the guy with the flute thingy, excited and anxious to have a go at playing real seltic music on my brand new bow-dran drum, purchased only moments before. |

Subject: RE: Non-music;Game for the literary minded. From: Peter T. Date: 01 Nov 00 - 05:22 PM These are really very good, gang. Next year we should make a corporate entry. "Perhaps", said Dr. Steinberg, my psychiatrist, triggering the impulse that happily led to the moment when this novel first began to see the light of day, "you might consider writing a novel that would enable other people to at least experience fully the indescribably disgusting, miserable, debilitating, tedious, and grossly irritating world that you so drearily and endlessly inhabit."

From: katlaughing Date: 01 Nov 00 - 04:07 PM Puffing his chest out and crowing like a cock, he drew out his snickly-sounding long rapier, while lathering the whiskers before him in the blackened-back looking glass; "Cock-a-doodle-doo; any cock will dooooooo, but I'm the one for you!" rang out through the snaky halls of the grandiose villa, while in the next room, striking a chic pose, draping her long, soft feathery hair across her breast, she answered him, "Cluck, cluck, are you suuure? Paaaawwwwk, paaaawwwkk, c'mere, big guy!" |

Subject: RE: Non-music;Game for the literary minded. From: JulieF Date: 01 Nov 00 - 12:20 PM With a slow, deliberate motion Chief Inspector Southerland reached down the side of his leg. Danger had never been so close. Its focus moved about twenty feet in front of him, combing the crowd with urgent eyes. With one quick movement Southerland undid the strap around the inside of his leg, grasped the hard metalic objects and slid them quickly into his rucksack. They fell with a metalic chime. Hell, he was glad that he had finished changing after that last Morris Session when he had spotted his young constable, He prefered his private obsession to stay private.

From: Clifton53 Date: 01 Nov 00 - 10:05 AM It was ill-behooving to his poor battered brain to think of her again in that light which switched his emotions back to zero again, he thought. But, and he knew it was true, she had burnt him with the brunt of her forceful forced laughing. It was going to be a dark daylight today. Clifton Fadiman |

"Sophie", sniffed the shepherd, shying several spurious shales skyward, "scythes and saucepans should suffice small spuds such as us'n . Cecilly's social stratum shall succor her slumming." "So it shall", sniffed Sophie, and they split. |

When she married you she knew not what I know: your father claimed his right to my mother on the night of her marriage. You, sir, are my brother." --seed |

From: katlaughing Date: 01 Nov 00 - 01:57 AM Wending her way across the wide broadpaths of the winding moor, she went crosswise and widdershins to meet her Moor, wishing upon a star all the while that he would do the winding of her bedsheets with her wound up in them, whimpering softly in wild ecstacy while he whispered sweet nothings in her winsome ear, her whimpering for more of her Moor, on the moor, forevermore. |
