....I don't get it....

Hate flagging your short story entries. I think you may have a network of bound wimens supplementing flags!

However, if i didn't, it would be horrendously disingenuous.

I have 12 moms.

Thanks though, glad you liked it.

a reply to: JinMI

Just the replies themselves deserve flagging (flinging). My youngest son loves the "poo in the face" jokes ( caught me giggling)although he is unsure about ATS now. I found it hard to explain to him the relationship between a fan and a face.

Ah well, my morning is made. Off to school for the young fella.

Okay but you don't want to know where it's been.

Yes, and I sense the basis of a good a Creation story.

12 moms!

How do I explain that to my young bloke when he gets home from school this afternoon?

Closest I've come to is 3! Hard enough explaining ATS isn't about poo in a face that looks like a fan.....





kind regards,

With visual aides. Those nudie playing cards always work well and shouldn't make it an overly uncomfortable conversation.

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

Lol.

Penguins and ostriches were my first thoughts but sure, Emus and Kiwis too.

So the answer is... sometimes? It depends?

Also I'd like a part 2.

How about a write the intro to your art book?

It will be inane and totally irrelevant to the contents but I can include whomever you want...

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

Hmmm,,,after he chops the wood, gets the fire stoked, cleans the chainsaw, feeds the chickens, does his homework and helps with the dishes after dinner, I guess I may get him away from Warcraft, minecraft, shootem up games and stupid book. He may want to settle down to a game of cards.

I'll make sure his one and only mom is present.

Maybe I'll get lucky perhaps. (not likely).

But I take on board your mature suggestion. I'll ring my wife at work and ask her to stop by the "x" shop and buy a deck of the said cards. I know her immediate response. "WHAT?" "WHY?" "WHO"?" (Explains Augustus and ATS)

"WHA?"

"He has 12 mummies and recommends I use this technique to explain WHY there is poo in a face that resembles a fan to the young bloke."

Click....beeeep....beeeep....beep...bip.

But I'll give it a go mate.

my kind regards,

You will never regret following any of my advice. Ever.

Phone call made to said bride.

I'M in!!!!

Tonights the night!!!!

Thank you uncle. If ever I sit on your knee I'll rub your hump, wipe your drool and promise not to gaze into the eye that doesn't move.

Woohoo. Off to cut wood with a skip, smile and sharp saw.

That's how I usually feel. Imagine my excitement the other day when I saw this:

Most likely sitting this out. The two takes on the theme I liked have been done already.

I thought I might have a chance at picking the next topic. Then BAM!

Nicely done Augustus

Right? Not to put too fine a point on it, but...

20 flags in ~36 hours.
Nuff said.

Sheesh!

Trolled again. Damn masons!

Thanks, man.

I really was intending on passing on this one. I wanted to do a pastiche on Stanislaw Lem's story about human creation but you beat me to that and DB grabbed the God-perspective. This one just kinda happened while I was sitting at the hotel room desk so I banged it out.

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

I would love that so much.

a reply to: geezlouise

Well, make some art then.

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus
Hysterical as usual.
Almost thought I stumbled into your 'idiots' thread but, there was only two talking so...

Two thumbs up!
