offy, I've been a bit testy tonight, perhaps I'd better get back to your little Fabergé eggs in the morning

File, I can see why you're upset but I won't make any apologies. The format of this piece was designed specifically to push your pathetic little efforts off the page and it worked a treat.

(It's an Alpha Male thing, girls. I'm sure you're familiar with this sort of behaviour.)

i'm working on something to knock your boys socks off - if you feel the need to be competitive.

Well, who used the word "challenge" first?

Anonymous said...

yeah, typical girly behaviour, throw up the challenge then sit back with an air of inacessibility and sigh while we lock horns...

Well, you know what they say - girls just wanna have fun :)

Oof, the planets must be in a funny alignment tonight - File seems to have gone all feral on Marcela's thread, Offside's being macho and I'm being annoying.

Turn round 3 times and start again.

Hi Offside, clever 50 word thingy.

51 words.

Don't forget the gatecrasher. And my irresistible attraction for transgression.

Worked my way up with this one, adding one after the other and never using the same one twice. But there were so many more I wanted to invite.

Did the opposite with the other piece, wrote it in 76 words, then trimmed. Interesting exercise.

offie
thought this was pretty good, pretty smart, trickey, and viewing itself from aside...

...and all those words which couldn't squeeze in;
unfortunate
later
next time
cheers

Please Miss.Z,

how come he gets 51 words and everyone else only got 50? I think one should be edited (a large fine and possible points deduction) and I suggest it's the word 'fifty' as it isn't even fair representation

DoctorShoot said...

the word never?..

hmm, goats in the machinery, why do I feel sure Offsod has rigged it so he gets the most comments as well as pole position?

Oh, and just so we're absolutely clear on this, I hope you don't think I'm going to comment on any of your threads?
