Announcing the Weekly Tw(itter)-(Dr)abble Contest!

[Algernon Sydney is Dead]

I see your name everywhere. It hurts me so much. I believed your parents hated you. Now I know they preemptively hated me.

Very nice! Morally despicable but twabble-y delicious.

Do you need to edit the title? "The" what?

Her name is "The."

Her name is "The."

Wow, that's great, made me LOL.
But only after you explained it, guess it was over our heads...

That's either too cute to live or over my head. Sure it's not "Thee"?

Edit: I guess not. This is like the first version of the "who's on first" joke -- doesn't really stand scrutiny but, hey, it was before The Simpsons.

How to fix without killing the joke? ... "A girl named 'The'"?

Not counting the name confusion, this is still a great twabble.

I suspect it was more under rather than over. It's closely related to a pun in a sense.

I hope it's just too cute to live.

I haven't played much Chinese "Go" (Used to play Redneck "Go" all the time... Momma would point at the front door and say, "Go! ... And don't come back 'til supper time!")

I don't think that the Ko Rule would apply here, unless it's possible to re-embowel someone?

Actually, some of the most painful disembowelment happens during Ko's. You think you're just fighting over .5 points, then he kills your whole dragon.

She'd dodged the water and offed the brat. Now she snarled, "Why are buckets, of my one weakness, all about this castle."

We'll be sad if dogs and cats transcend sapience and leave Earth. What will we do with their squeaky toys and catnip mice?

[m_a_kelly]

The help desk people didn't inform me that when I zapped my PRAM, it might zap me back. Now my brain is stuck in 'safe mode.'

Good one!
It's 101 characters, though.

Remember that when the cats and dogs are gone, people will foolishly take chimpanzees, apes, etc. for pets.
We all know where that leads!

I bet I missed the period at the end. Thanks for the catch! I have revised.

One of my 2 favorite classics. The other being:
Soylent Green is people? Shut up, Charlie, I'm trying to eat!

Ha! Watch out for the flying monkeys!

This one is a little too autobiolgraphical, but I guess you have to go with what inspires you.

Images of champagne and kisses filled her as she made final tweaks to the Machine. All she needed was some of Norm's hair.

Excellent! Your first post to the forum is our first stalker-twabble.

Welcome aboard. Norm's a lucky guy.

[strawman]

Great pic to go with "All I needed was some of Norm's hair"

[Phenopath]

Norma?

[The PMS Avenger]

Thanks! xD I'm thinking about writing all of my twitfics about Norm, at least until he gets creeped out and bans me. Or I was thinking about this one:

Garin recalled their last night together, her grip on his bare shoulders, his sighs, and her passionate cry: "Oh Norm!"


You don't think I'm being a little too forward with Norm, do you?

[tbaker2500]

You're right, she is very Norma-esque.

[eric_marsh]

You're right, she is very Norma-esque.

She's a high-priestess of the druidical temple of Esus?
