The Drabblecast Forums

Warmer, more going on, interesting people, cheaper and easier to get to. With so much in favour of Hell, why go to Heaven?

Well, that should put paid to any allegations about Drabblecast being too grown up and mature these days. A great laugh. I was cackling all the way through.

Now... Any new bowel movement stories in the... Umm... Pipeline?

Right. Now that I have a thread to comment in... I really enjoyed this story. I was never quite sure where it was going until it got there. I wonder what governments would really do if they found a way to change the future. And I liked that the men from (presumably) the government didn't seem to rea...

OK, I bit. I thought it was an alien.

Well, I thought this was a particularly fine episode in the Twabble department. But I suppose I'm just biased.

Since ASID just pointed out to me that, "Thankless tasks are thankless," I thought it might be an idea to let all the mods, admins, editors, and everyone else at Drabblecast know you appreciate them. Give them a kiss, or at least a pat on the back, for all the work they do. Keep up the good work, Gu...

Sorry about that. I've been on, and may go back to, sabbatical. All the other mods have been thin on the ground for months. (Thankless jobs are thank less :) ). I just finished nuking the spam(mers). As for episode comment threads -- you or just about anyone can start one. Worst case, some mod come...

OK, I've been away for a few weeks, but things are looking a bit ropey here abouts at the moment. No new episode comments threads appear to have gone up for a while, and there are spam posts all over the forum. Is everything OK here?

Oh, for goodness sake!

Burned a lot of bridges, indeed.

Some folks shouldn't be let near a word processor.

LOL

Nice one

I think I heard "an enigma wrapped in a mystery wrapped in a tortilla" in one of the intros of one of the podcasts I was listening to today! Escape Pod, if I'm not mistaken. OMG! You don't think there might be some connection between Strawman and Norm, do you? :P Somehow though, I just can't imagin...

Oh... Am I to be punished?

Yeah, I deleted and re-downloaded too, but no increase in length.

I guess it must be the file, not the download.

Ah, I was worried that this concept might not be fresh, as it is a pretty obvious reflection of the 100 word limit. When I first thought about doing one of these the limit was this imposing thing, I got the impression of finality, and this was the natural result. I have heard the story "So you're g...
