"I miss you, baby!" Todd was drunk and he continued, "Please come back... I love you; I still write your name in the snow."

For the umpteenth time that day, God turned down the dial on the thermostat and shouted, "Who keeps turning up the heat?"
Lucifer chuckled as he ordered pizzas.

ASID, I swear I voted on 12/1. But I get a message saying that for my vote to count, I have to click on a link that will be emailed to me, and I never get the email. Tell me how to crash the gates of this monstrous fortress of evil.
Also, F5iver, you de woman!

I wonder if it’s worth the trouble,
And if it is, then my efforts I shall double.

I have been thinking about doing this, and I think I will. Each section should (at least sort of) also work alone, right?ROU Killing Time wrote: So, I was wondering what you masters of twabbling could do with the following challenge.
A drabble, composed entirely of twabbles. You have use as many or as few twabbles as you like, long as it all adds up to 100 words, and each section adds up to 100 characters.
The winner of this absolutely unofficial contest gets nothing more than the phrase "<insert winner here> is the Lord of the Twadrabble," placed in my signature line for a week.
ASID? Jebi, Are you up to the ROU Twadrabble Challenge?

The Infernal Demons ascended to smite God. But found that no such creature existed, and so they too become nonexistent.

There is probably a word for the second. Doggerelish, maybe. "Then I shall double my efforts" is better. I know efforts doesn't rhyme, but maybe that makes the point. If you have to invert the syntax to get the rhyme, doubling your effort isn't worth it.

Yeah, the second one is very silly, I had not posted in over 24 hours, so I just used it to announce that I'm back, and to sound like Golem, or Yoda, or somebody like that.strawman wrote:The first is pretty good.TheJebi wrote:As I rummage through this ravaged rubble, I wonder, “Is it worth the trouble?

Glaring at the cyborg-plant guy with his mashed soil nutrients and nano-diodes, I slowly chewed another bite of salad.
OR:
Spinachman, with his bowl of soil nutrients and nano-diodes, just glared at me as I slowly chewed another bite of salad.
(Get it, "My efforts I shall double". Two versions... Oh, don't worry, this is the last with two versions, and the last silly one, for a while.)

It's possible that PodcastAlley's email got blocked by an over-zealous spam filter (It does trigger an SPF fail).strawman wrote:ASID, I swear I voted on 12/1.

Make sure your email address was correct, then check your Spam or "junk" folders.
Also, Make sure info@podcastalley.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false is unblocked.
If that fails, PM me.

A Twabble-Drabble (as requested)
THE BARGAIN… I SHALL REMAIN:
My ship torn apart
By a cranky infant god
I used escape pod
Avoiding my death
Was easy when compared with
Finding a new life
As I finished writing the haikus, I heard a loud, ominous voice echoing in the small escape pod cabin. It made me an offer.
"The best things in life are free, but if you don't want to die, give me your soul, and I will treat it well," Said the voice.
I remember that voice to this day. And as I watch the last star burn out, I become encompassed by the pitch black darkness.

‘The image says it all,’ thought Carl Zombie. How dreadfully sad, though, to find out baby food contains no actual baby.

Yea, I'm tired. Plus, with 43 pages of twitfics, and you responsible for 86% of them, I missed a lot.

And there's no way, in Heck, that Norm reads all of this thread.
PS. I'm down to 70%. Jebi has taken over much of the bulk-posting duties.
