Phil, anything is possible. Better get writing, or you could be needing your safeword. And for Mike's sake, include a nerd....but if you must, give him great hair and fantastic abs.

Aaaaaaaaand now it is time for my weekly 'lets upset my American friends' segment.
I attended a pin-up event earlier in the month. (Pin-up is something I do in my free time) and twinkies were served at this particular event, and yo, let me just say, that was probably the worst cream filled thing I have ever put in my mouth. I do not understand the fuss and hype surrounding them. That is all for now, folks, I'll think up some more potentially upsetting things throughout the week.

Thank you Laura!.
But I wasn't as clear as I needed to be. It would be of tremendous help to me if AS MANY OF THE ENTRIES AS POSSIBLE contained bookish nerds, not just one story.
So if loads of people could all go out of their way so as to accommodate my selfish desire, so that I can win a bet, that would be great...
If I ever get around to writing anything, that is. I am slightly tempted to see if VirgoGo will really send around a woman with a large whip if I don't.

I think sprite had brought Lovecraft into the mix before, but with all these combined strands in the Alterverse mythos I get confused. Admittedly I'm pretty easily confused.

It wouldn't pass a vote of acceptance in Parliament. That is why there is this referendum. And this referendum has beeen yanked from the political classes. It hasn't been given that willingly. It's an attempt to appease both sides of the argument. And, sadly, it is a real argument.
Australia is a terribly prejudiced country. The Aussie cry of "No Poofters!" is part of its folklore. I just hope that the vote is taken seriously. That peeps actually bother to reply. It needs a huge majority in favour for a 'yes' to be taken seriously. Otherwise the issue will remain contentious and simply be kicked down the road for ages.
I sooooo hope that it's 'yes' by heaps. But am really not certain it will be.

I did not miss you off! How would I forget my favourite kangaroo-avatared friend?!
You're entering, RIGHT??
Quote by IAMLOVE
Hope you've been doing well.
Hi to Hannah and Rachel and our dear barkeep Rump.
I have a new story if anyone wants to read it. Stay safe our Southern friends.
Quote by VirgoGo
Ugh, Phil. Turning 23K into a 3K competition entry would be tough. It would take a lot of editing, and probably cases of beer to keep you going (during the writing and then during the chopping). I've taken almost 7K down to 5K before.....And that was no fun. May I recommend a radical rethink of your idea? Well, unless, the point of your epic smutty oeuvre is to get really wasted.
Quote by oceanrunner
Hmm, so now that I've told Hannah that I'm entering the bookish contest, I'd better get cracking on an idea. I thought I had one, but after reading VirgoGo's entry, I'm not sure how inspired I'm gonna be. Like anything I'm going to write is going to beat that?!
Quote by patokl
Of course there are. I think it's a waste of good money, because the results probably are no surprise (polls have already shown that the great majority of Australians supports same sex marriage) and the results are not binding. The real decision to legalise same sex marriage can only taken in the place where all law is decided, parliament. Why not just get on with it there?
Quote by RumpleForeskin
In the always popular, 'Self-Promotion and Marketing' forum ever alert Lushers will find a new, semi-brillaiant thread, ' humorous stories not in the Humor category'. Since I'm the modest, self-effacing author, I include three examples of my own...just to prime the pump, so to speak.
One and all are invited to hurry thence and add some of their own 'humorous but not in the Humor' category stories for the enjoyment of the reading public.
Aside from its obvious pimping duties, the thread also got me to wondering if a 'Humor' contest has ever appeared on Lush? Which leads, as night doth the day, to the question of if it hasn't been tried, should it be considered?
This gin joint is now open for expressions of your sound wisdom, advice and bull shit.
BTW, anybody need a drink?
Quote by sprite
for the record, noticed that Phil keeps looking up my skirt and then muttering something about 'cute panties' with a huge smile on his face. In response, i've decided not to wear panties while in this establishment. that'll show him!
btw, i'm back in school again, so my time on lush is gonna be super limited, but i'll try to pop and harass everyone as often as possible.

I've missed you too, Gil!
Where's Phil) And what about Margot?
Quote by IAMLOVE
I'm still alive, Hannah.
Waving hi to all.
Actually, more a mix of wintertime germs shared around the whole family and work getting slightly crazy. Hopefully this week I may even manage to catch up on a bit of reading around here. Might be thirsty work though, so perhaps I'll have a beer or two in preparation...
Quote by Stormdog
Some are. As Clum says, it varies so much, and it also depends on the voice of the person speaking. I like bits of many of the "British" accents, or what many Americans consider to be British, which of course are not all British by any means. The various parts of GB, of course, but I also enjoy Irish, Aussie, and Kiwi accents.
I'm not even sure which of those the girl in the current Trivago ads is (guessing Aussie?), but I love her soft accent and sexy voice.
Quote by RumpleForeskin
Morning, Phil. A half-gallon of lager sounds about right for someone from the Big A.
(and who isn't it?) No Flintstones though, sorry (they'd probably be against the rules anyway). 
Quote by JustSomeJoe
I think everyone who begins a new relationship eventually gets around to having "the talk" about your sexual past.

*Slurps* mmm, thanks
Every single public bathroom is the same. The doors don't fit. It's bizarre.
).Quote by VirgoGo
The thing I hate about swanky bathrooms is the frequent presence of a bathroom attendant. She wants to earn a tip, and usually that involves performing some small service....squirting perfume, handing you a towel, turning on the faucet....I feel so awkward because these are things I just want to do for myself, only this is how the attendant makes her living, and to forego/ignore the service is to undermine the dignity of her work....and yet, I don't want any fucking perfume sprayed at me.
And some of the beer is really quite good... although not the big brands, and probably not what Bill will serve up here, but I'll give it a go anyway! 
Quote by browncoffee
You thought you had a shot with sprite? Hands off, fam. She's entirely taken.
Quote by oceanrunner
OK, it was PhilU - Highlight Reel
So, I'm relieved to see that I am going a different direction, despite some superficial similarities of set-up.
I won't mention her name, since it could get awkward if I'm propped up at the bar and she's sitting just over there on her throne. But, I think the only response to such an outcome is to ask the bartender to bring out something strong. Tequila sounds good - no worms required!

Is 13 cats a deal breaker?
Quote by sprite
