I'm out of here

New York mate, keep up

Horse drawn trams

I did know that Australia had them too! That causeway route is pretty nice.

We have a den of hostility?

I have found that with a few notable exceptions this is a pretty warm, fuzzy, polite, charming and supportive bunch…of sexual deviants.

I guess it’s about perspective. See the good in people you see the best of AH, see the bad…well.

That said we’ve no time for William-Shatner style dramatics. We’re all going through shit. I currently have Two submissions to poems that have been pending for 9 days.

WILL NOBODY WEEP FOR ME (and NO, that is not my kink! ).

Nine days is nothing. Usually about a month for poems. Best just to forget about them and be pleasantly surprised when they do go live.

Thanks for that.

I’m that case I’ll take off my “Leaving Boots” and put on my “Waiting Fluffy-Bunny slippers”.

A simple clean limerick took 2 weeks for me

 

[AlinaX]

There's no point in writing them clean
Cos you know once they all turn eighteen
The quills will all twirl
To ensure every girl
Is heard long before she is seen

 

[Duleigh]

I attempted the near impossible
To write a clean limerick that included the word Nantucket

I attempted the near impossible
To write a clean limerick that included the word Nantucket

There once was a girl from Nantucket,
Plucked a lollipop from a blue bucket.
But the heat made her swelt
And the lollipop melt,
Leaving her with no choice but to suck it.

As a kid, besides the milkman, we had a french onion-selling man, a knife-sharpener, an o'clothes man, a postman, and big strong dustmen and coalmen. No wonder my mother was always happy and smiling.

Did they ever have a guy with a barrow and a bell crying “bring out your dead”?

It's too soon to make a COVID joke here, right?

Don't think so. We've already had a Covid Anthology.

I heard the NASA Challenger disaster definition about six hours after it happened - Australian taxi-drivers used to be the fastest joke spreaders. Now they're mostly all Indians who drive too slowly and have no sense of humour.

You don’t really know though, they might be funny as hell in Hindi.

So what did these old-school taxi drivers say about it?

NASA = Need Another Seven Astronauts.

Oh, that's dark. The kind of joke Anthony Jeselnik would tell. He has comedy routines about dropping babies and Eric Clapton's son.

Typically Aussie. Our comedians take no prisoners. Most topics are fair game, although MeToo has placed a layer of political correctness over it in recent years, which sort of misses the point.

Ooh, too soon.

Ooh, too soon.

I heard it within six hours of the shuttle disintegration (early morning radio DJs).

NASA's favourite drink - from the same accident: 7 Up and a dash of Teachers.

you've made up your mind. i'm going to say something that may shock you but there are other sites that allow you to post stories and they don't have such strict rules and they allow you to do a lot more but i won't say which ones so as not to advertise them

Not cool, man. Anyone would think this happened over 30 years ago.

Now where’s that report button? (In all seriousness it’s a tragedy that could have easily been avoided by listening to experts and respecting their knowledge).

We use subliminal methods in the forum to ensure conformity of opinion. You'll be singing a different tune soon...

Like the stats undergraduate who plotted the temperature of EVERY launch against O-ring faults, not just those below x °C.

When you see every launch plotted, the temperature problem jumps off the page - but the engineers only plotted low temperature launches, and couldn't see a pattern of fails.

That's fine, but they're not this site, so it's sorta kinda irrelevant to the discussion.

This doesn't shock anyone. We all know there are different sites and they have different rules. There's plenty of opportunity to publish different kinds of content at other sites. This site has its rules, and there's just no point in wanting them to be different.

We already have mentioned them: Lush Stories and Stories on Line. (Although the former has it's own brand of nitpicking, and probably would call him to task anyway.) Not ASSTR.org, which is a den of pedophilia plus truly awful writing. If the moderator doesn't like it, I'll know if the post disappears. Anyway, we've already done more than 150 posts on this thread. Can we hit 200?
