    AuntShecky,
    LMAO ... "wives suing for loss of consortium," now there's a brilliant legal tort that's never yet been tested
    YesNo,
    Like your vignette. Makes me think of Shaggy's famous song: “It Wasn't Me.” All those long words should be added to the modern dictionary, 'cause they convey clear meaning and are often heard by English speakers ‘round-the-world. I count 49 words on your short story, not counting the title. You most certainly found the poetic loophole in the word count rules by using all those hyphens . I'd say, keep-on posting those genuine gems, but 'tis most often thought unwise ... to encourage the incorrigible .

    Thanks, Hawg Horse! I found Shaggy's song which I hadn't heard before: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2g5Hz17C4is He's pretty good.

    A limit of 50 words initially seemed too restrictive but then it occurred to me that some chapters in graphic novels don't have many words in them.
    "There are two ways to be fooled; One is to believe what isn't true, the other is to refuse to believe what is true." This is supposedly a quote from Kierkegaard, but I don't have a direct source.

    The viewer hurled the remote with such force it smashed the screen. He grabbed his crotch and yelled, “I got your ‘going forward’ right here!”

    A penis was having a celery dip with the evening news. The evening news is made out of corn flakes, and cornflakes are falling through your dreams like the orgasms of the Pope. Someone is playing Alfred Schnittke in the distance...

    Thanx Wolf. Nice to hear back from the freeist mind onsite. Your posts always give me pause--usually making me feel out of touch with the latest ways of the world. Without you, I'd never have considered the wet dreams of the Pope
    or the music of Schnitte.

    It was dark. He was in a coffin. In a panic he shouted and banged. The lid came off and smashed into the back. The hearse sprang open. The box slid out. He was rolling down the street, past the chemists screaming “Has anyone got anything to stop this coffin!”
