(Just a joke; no offense meant.)



Cheers!

Moodley, was walking his dog, it left a packet, oh for an undo button!

Can’t you guys focus? All this this jabbering, in between the story, not a good habit for planners. How about one about an undo button? Seems to be a favourite topic around here?

Ahem nothing in the original rules to limit speelmongers to 15 words. Would appreciate if you could send me this years winners. They now have a various sections and there was a cracker about Snowhite & the 7 Dwarfs.



Lets see what the evening in the Europe/Africa/Stateside trawls up. BG and PJ surely will have some crackers.



I also think a thread on site names, tales,legends etc would be good. Par example

Sullom Voe referred to as Sullom Woe

Melkoya as Melkotrazz.

Methinks I’ll just start my own thread, just to be ornery...:)

Can I post more than once per day?

I have some experience writing absolute drivel, so if with your permission, I’ll start posting a daily addition to this tale of terror. I will, however, need an exemption to the 15 word limit. My imagination runs rather wild some days.

You guys are the best !!



Nostraplannus indeed. I am in the PP Admin hot seat for the day, and spat and choked my coffee all over the keyboard when I read it. Terrific.

Gwen, I tried!

Steven,



I give up and will return to bashing my head against the wall.

Hi Gwen,



I’ll continue with your second post.



but P3e V5 is not the issue but the earlier version of P3e.....

Been awaken! And he said: What did you do f---? Go home, it’s late!



Next day, Poor Walter was k- - - - - in the a- - !

Steven,

Methinks our learned freinds are unaware of "It was a dark and story night" contests.



A little light reading for enlightenment.



Take a look at the winners of this year’s Bulwer-Lytton Contest - which

is also known as the "It Was A Dark and Stormy Night Contest". The

contest is sponsored by the English Department at San Jose State

University in California. The rule is simple: Write only the first line

of a bad novel.



1. "As a scientist, Throckmorton knew that if he were ever to break wind

in the echo chamber, he would never hear the end of it."



2. "Just beyond the Narrows, the river widens."



3. "With a curvaceous figure that Venus would have envied, a tanned,

unblemished oval face framed with lustrous thick brown hair, deep

azure-blue eyes fringed with long black lashes, perfect teeth that vied

for competition, and a small straight nose, Marilee had a beauty that

defied description."



4. "Andre, a simple peasant, had only one thing on his mind as he crept

along the East wall: ’Andre creep... Andre creep... Andre creep.’"



5. "Although Sarah had an abnormal fear of mice, it did not keep her

from eking out a living at a local pet store."



6. "Stanley looked quite bored and somewhat detached, but then penguins

often do."



7. "Like an over-ripe beefsteak tomato rimmed with cottage cheese, the

corpulent remains of Santa Claus lay dead on the hotel floor."



8. "Mike Hardware was the kind of private eye who didn’t know the

meaning of the word ’fear’; a man who could laugh in the face of danger

and spit in the eye of death -- in short, a moron with suicidal

tendencies."



AND THE WINNER IS ...



"The sun oozed over the horizon, shoved aside darkness, crept along the

greensward, and, with sickly fingers, pushed through the castle window,

revealing the pillaged princess, hand at throat, crown asunder, gaping

in frenzied horror at the sated, sodden amphibian lying beside her,

disbelieving the magnitude of the frog’s deception, screaming madly,

’You lied!’"

but his manager found the list and then told his manager...

so he tried to look back agian at the list and realize that the printout was crap!

Are we building a pyramid, EPS, recurrent nightmares, where are the dreams, like immortality and

T’was Nostraplannus, Nostradamus’ evil twin! The author of The Necroplanicon, the Book of Dead Projects.

Dammit was Nostradamus. And try P3fix, or maybe dream about Enterprise PM or a nightmare

"My God!" he thought. "So the doomsday prophesies of Nostraplunus are finally coming to pass!"

printed the hit list of targets to exterminate Planners who refused to convert to P3eV5!
