Writing Contest

Hello Forum People! How do you do? What's the ban count up to?



While the FJ Photo Contest is great, why are we only rewarding people's photography skills?

This forum has plenty of witty people and the only way that is being utilized is to argue back and forth and forth and back. Minus the wit.


I propose to have a writing contest. However, not just to classify the contests by genre ("A mystery with an FJ theme"), but make it more like a writing exercise, giving people, say, fifty words they must use in their short story.


FJ
yawn
find
little
distinction
potentially
sad
deliberate
stiff
sleeping
nobody
participated
skipping
certain
literate
upset
exploit
attend
lousy
collar
become
inclines
downstairs
appearing
dragon
fare
substance
ruler
result
thieves
played
pharmacies
slogan
pizza
cards
fruit
give
encoded
flat
signal
approximate
agent
kidney
anyone



ok, i don't know how many that is but i'm done typing them out of the random word generator.


what thinks the tribe? all in favor of funny stories say, "FJ"

Re: Writing Contest

Dearest air,

You know what I prayed for last night? I prayed that you would not get banned from the forum ever again. Air, please help me keep my faith in the good Lord.

Signed,

me.

I'd probably get hunt down by all strippers here in Portland and burned at the stake.

And, I'm an idiot....not to be confused with "witty".

Re: Writing Contest

I would write a story but by the time I finish it you will have already been banned again and you wont get to read it. That will make me sad and I might not forgive my self.

If you meet one named Kim, tell her I want my leather jacket back(the one I can't even fit into anymore), and my mountain bike. Then punch her for me. Be sure to describe the catfight in detail afterwards It will be part of the writing assignment.

Angela just wondering not sure what thread to go off topic in so I figure this one will work.

I am trying to understand your stance on this issue with your back ground and all. Why the change, or do you feel what you did isn't/wasn't as bad as strippers and porn movies? It is/was classified as porn right? If you would rather PM that is fine but I really am wondering.

Thanks.

PS. you are witty for sure, unlike me who is a little on the slow side most of the time.

Re: Writing Contest

Joshua, I'll help you write that essay! Surely we could come up with something together that would please the Gods.

Chick, if you were to call out all the strippers in Portland, there would be no one left in town! Having lived there back in the 80's, my most vivid memories was of taking a drive down Sandy Blvd and seeing a club on every corner. Hopefully things have changed because there's talk I may be making the major move up there next year!

Air....my dear, dear Air. You're back among the posters! Dust off that keyboard and let us know what you did on your summer vacation.
