The Soccer Match

November 3rd 2008 05:54
Write Anything Sports Related (I'm serious, I found this near impossible)

Team one – Archimedes, Jesus of Nazareth, Budda, Sigmund Freud, Bill Gates, George Bush, Cathy Freeman (Goalie).

Team Two – Socrates, Mohammed, L Ron Hubbard, Carl Jung, Steve Woznak, Hillary Clinton, Pauline Hanson (Goalie).

Soccer
Play Was Resumed after Bush Attacked the Playing Field on 'Bad Intellegence'


Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand we’re off! Mohammed gets the balls, kicks to Woznak, Woznak kicks to Socrates, but it’s intercepted by Bush, Bush kicks to Freud, kicks to the goals… oh but Hanson stops it, to the sound of a thousand cheering Asians who don’t think she’s so bad now she’s dancing with the stars.

Hanson throws to Hubbard who misses, almost looses the ball to Jesus, but his Thetan stretches out and saves his sorry arse, he kicks to Jung, who kicks it past Freud (boy does he look pissed at that) and Freeman trips over her Aboriginal flag and… It’s in!

Almost ready to continue play, but there’s a bit of a biff going on between Freud and Jung… oh! A punch to the face! Jung’s off to the blood bin, Freud to the sin bin, yelling what sounds like ‘you know bloody well it doesn’t mean I want to shag my mother!’

Bush talks to the ref, getting rather angry, claiming some sort of foul play, saying the other team have some kind of secret advantage. A brief search of the players has no lunch finding these supposed WMDs. Bush doesn’t care. He just does a little strut. His incredible muscles have been attributed by some to steroid use, but we’re assured he hasn’t used steroids since 1974.

And we’re back in the game! Clinton kicks it, she’s one with power, but it’s intercepted by Budda – and he’s one with everything! Budda kicks to Jesus who misses, and uses his own name in vain, before judging himself, then asking himself for forgiveness which he graciously gives and receives.

Gates has the ball now, and doesn’t look like giving it up, kicks the ball to Archimedes, who kicks towards the goal… Hanson is too busy telling Freeman to go back to her own country and doesn’t notice and… BAM!!! One all!

Ready to play for the winning point, Socrates has the ball, kicks and… oh no! Hits Gates in the face. He’ll have to pay a fine for that, hopefully it won’t lead to trouble…

Woznak has the ball, kicks to Hubbard who is distracted by a conversation with Tom Cruize, ball goes to Mohammed, but he’s too busy laughing at an amusing Danish cartoon, eventually picked up by Gates, who kicks and… SCORES!!!

And now, a word from our sponsors –

“What the hell was the point of all that? Enjoy Coke, bitch.”

Phone

Prompt: Write a story Under 50 word. Mine;

Phone
Phone


Kai answers his phone from bed.
“Hello?”
The caller is frantic, he can barely understand her garbled mantra, ‘he’s dead, he’s dead’.
“What? Who?”
“Liam!”
“I don’t know a Liam.”
A pause.
“Max?”
“This is Kai.”
She hangs up. Wrong number. Kai returns to bed, unable to sleep.

Question of the day…

August 6th 2008 11:50
If we read a book of fiction that we read because of the author’s other fame (such as Nicole Richie or Steve Martin’s books), than isn’t our desire for truth really only wrapped up and protected beneath the thin veneer of fiction?

I Love Us All

July 25th 2008 13:47
I love how we are all twisted in our own delusion we are the greatest, no matter how much we pretend otherwise

I love how people say humans are inherintly evil yet struggle to explain why babies smile

My Question for Writers

July 2nd 2008 13:10
Where does your morality stand?

Do you intentionally or accidentally create moral worlds in your stories in which good is rewarded and evil punished

1. Like Bond but Gay. We never see gay heroes. Wouldn't that be just fantastic though?

2. A disabled hero would be great. Perhaps in a wheelchair or something? Maybe a mental disability. Can you imagine the potential for a Manic Depressive Hero struggling to get the girl and save the day? Or Schizophrenic, or MPD. Autism and OCD Heroes tend to be fantastically complex, but are quickly becoming a stereotype. What kind of struggles could your hero face in this way

Stories with a Carrot #1

April 11th 2008 13:48
Colourful Carrots


I dreamed of carrots on my third day of the diet. Like, clouds, big ugly orange clouds, in the air. And not made of carrot juice, like at first seemed (in the world of this dream anyway) to be the real logical possibility, but made of actual tiny carrots, like nanobots in that ‘grey goo’ scenario

High Metabolism

March 7th 2008 11:03
She looked alright, not the sort of girl who would transform into an evil monster and devour my head. Back then I was happy that she was a normal human being. She suggested we go to this fancy sounding restaraunt. I had never done the whole 'dinner at a fancy restaraunt' thing and I wasn't too keen on it but that was what she wanted.

Upon arriving and being seated we were given fancy menus which was a kind of first for me as the only menus I've ever seen tend to be hanging up on walls. The food also had strange names, I'm more accustomed to 'chicken shnitzel' than 'Torrone Artigianle' what's worse is that the meal came in courses meaning I had to find three different things to eat on the one night out of this god awful meal. The waiter asks what drink I'd like, I wasn't listening carefully but I think he phrased it in a really lame way. Any other day I'd have a witty response but not tonight, I was in a building full of people with no sense of humour

Microfiction – My Son, Thomas.

March 3rd 2008 12:59
I arrive at the airport. The place is white. Light. Sterile. There is the hustling flow of people, kitchness, tiredness, shuffling and snatches of conversation.

Jesus. I need a ciggie, real bad. Or something. Check watch – fuck sake. Plane wasn’t even delayed

10 Simple Rules in Writing

February 27th 2008 11:32
1. Shorter sentences are often better.
2. Don’t vary words for ‘said’ too much. ‘Said’ is often better than ‘yelled’, ‘stated’, ‘exclaimed’ etc.
3. Two adjectives max. per noun
