I read this poem, and then went back and read it again, and again, and again, and each time some new detail, some wonderfully turned phrase, caught my eye. "Something wild and quiet is coming to life." Just lovely writing. Thank you.

Loggerheads actually. Last year the mama didn't come far enough on the beach and the nest got soaked and none of the 84 eggs hatched. It was so sad. So last month we had our sand redistributed to smooth out the mini cliff that had formed and make it more of a slope. Our hope was that the mama turtle could make it farther up away from the shore and it worked!! So excited! So we should have baby loggerheads in early August!!


Shakes my head a little at the thought of handing a dart to a very inebriated Sprite. Nic is lucky it didn't end up somewhere unintended! I think I read most of the entries and honestly there were so many good ones, I'd believe it that a dart might be your best bet to pick a winner.



Glad to hear those turtles are okay. And so sorry to hear about your daughter's loss.

Sprite has darts now, huh? Better than a taser, I guess. Personally I think we should equip her with a handful of tactical nuclear warheads and let her run rampant.

Annoying day today, though it probably has more to do with me than the world around me. Just woke up crabby.

One last cuppa köffee would be lovely.

We had our lunch and there we sat; looked out over the view and held hands. I'm so lucky really. I'll be honest with you, I think my travelling days might be over.



"My travelling days might be over" has a sense of finding love and contentment and a perfect space to call your own. Godspeed.

Not much up here. Had therapy today - she read one of my recent apocalypse-y stories and we talked about what it "meant." Good session.

The Granny Tranny Hootenanny?

Position Is Nine-Tenths Of The Lay?

Princess Pucker Lips And The Fiery Arsehole?

Dude.

Köffee please.
How did I miss this? Musta been during the weekend. Happy birthday, Beffs! One of my oldest and dearest friends here. Glad you had an excellent birthday!
Hi all!

Thanks for the set-up, curves, and for the creme-filled (I hope that's cream...) donuts, Fuzz.

I am getting worn down by the one-two punch of the 'rona and the riots. This fucking year. I spent much too much time this weekend watching the news with LJ, hope girded that things stay calm. Scary times. My lefty friends say the looters are White Supremacists, my right wing friends swear the looters are antifa. It's like there are two entirely different sets of news facts, depending on what political bubble you are in. It scares me, and I am worried for our democracy.

But enough doom and gloom. Writing is going well, I have a good woman at my side, my kids appear to be entering adulthood with both feet sturdily on the ground.

And apparently there is a RUMPS HORROR MOVIE NIGHT approaching (he said, attempting to fan the flames)! I nominate Bug as our movie.

Köffee, please. Thanks!

i am so going to have get a new badge made for you - Double Post King. smile


Do I get a badge for my quintuple post last week? It takes a special kind of stupid to pull that off.

We had our first dine-in restaurant experience today since the 'rona started. We went to get take-out from Urban Egg, they had 5 social-distanced tables, we took one. It was sorta freeing and fun. We had our last meal, pre-'rona, there too.

We are going to a virtual birthday party later today. They seem like very nice people (friends of LJ's I've never met), and we have lots in common. Could be fun. Could be boring. We'll see.

Only horror movie we saw this weekend was The Eternal, a pretty bad 70s flick with the single saving grace of having a young (and weird) Christopher Walken in it. First season of Justified is in the bag, along with the first three episodes of Love Life, the HBO Anna Kendrick vehicle that is MUCH better than I suspected.

We should absolutely do a Rumps horror movie night. On Zoom or or whatever, choose a movie everyone has access to. LET'S DO THIS!

Anyway. Hope everyone stayed safe in this political hellscape we live in. A round on me.

A beer and a bowl please.

Found it!


OMG you're right! I would have never thought Spielberg would let that on screen. It works though.

You can't mention Jaws without mentioning on of the greatest speeches in movie history:

"Y'know the thing about a shark, he's got... lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes. When he comes at you, doesn't seem to be livin'... until he bites you."

Quote by scottob1234
Morning everyone, Hope your day is well, I'll have a coffee, enjoy your weekend



I used to work at a Magic Pan just to the left where she's standing, on Nicollet Mall in Mpls. Of course, now this street is being engulfed in protests and riots and looting. I have some good friends there. It's heart-breaking. I get so angry watching the video of the officer sitting on his fucking neck.

Ping, you magnificent bastard, are you saying Richard Dreyfuss stares directly into the camera in Jaws? I've seen that movie like five times and never seen that. And happy to have inflicted Justified on you - we are finishing up season one of Justified. I guess the second season is when the series really takes off, but it's pretty good now. I'll never give up Killing Eve. I love that show, even if it doesn't know how to end a season well.

Martin, your morning sounds lovely. What a pleasant picture you paint, awaking and editing in the quiet morning in Dorset. Here's to more kinks.

Reese, glad things went well with the appendectomy.

Thanks for the set-up, Tonya and Curvy, and thanks for the pastries and animules.

Date Night! Which somehow still manages to retain its cachet despite the fact that we never go anywhere anymore. We are vaguely discussing motoring down to Pueblo and seeing a drive in movie soon.

Köffee please.
I'll try really hard to keep this to one post, but no promises. smile

Hope everyone is well, and thanks for the set-up and the donuts and such.

My micro finally went up yesterday. Thanks to those who read it. I still haven't figured out this micro thing, but I'm getting a little closer. Read a bunch of micros, both comp and non-comp, recently, so that is helping me solve the problem.

I have shockingly little to say. It's a nice day. LJ and I were able to watch our beloved Friends again last night. Gotta say, HBO Max is quite the cool deal. Friends, all of Studio Ghibli, Turner movie Classics, and...wait for it...a TON of movies from Toho Studios (I think they own Ghibli too), including a bunch of Godzilla movies and Kurosawa movies. It's a good deal.

Anyway. Köffee would be great.
So this totally paints me as a sheeplike follower of popular culture, but I am genuinely pyched that HBO Max has launched. Friends! And all of Ghibli Studio! The Anna Kendrick vehicle looks pretty lightweight, but I would watch her in nearly anything. Even that crappy Christmas movie she put out last year.

That's the first time seeing a quintuple post. I think 5 baby animals or some baseball stuff is in order


Here you go. A Mets home run for each extra post.

Thoughts are with you and your Mom. They let my Dad out of the hospital too soon as well. Take good care of her.







On curves ahead
Remember, sonny

All four of these posts in a row read like Burma Shave signs. Anyone old enough to remember Burma Shave signs?
Wow. Quintuple post. Don't think I've ever done that before. Carry on.

If one clicks on "all" for the types of stories to show on one's front page your dark micro is right at the top of the page. I would assume most people keep the home page on "all" instead of "stories" or "poetry." I'm sure it will get views.


Thanks, Larry. That explains it - mine is set on stories. I didn't know Micros are considered poems. I get the reasoning. Gotta pay more attention!

Thanks.

Iced tea, strong and sweet.
Happy birthday! You are truly a legend here. If there were a Mount Rushmore of Lush, you'd be on it. Enjoy your special day.
Nice thread.

It's easy to bash the mods. And writers are always too close to their own work, so having a mod suggest changes can understandably make a writer defensive. I like to think of it this way: they are making me look better, by taking the time to correct my mistakes.

I have a story currently in the hopper that has been delayed for 24 hours and counting, because it skirts dangerously close to breaking the TOS. I knew that when I submitted. But Lush has contacted me, and let me know their reservations, politely and professionally. I am happy with whatever they decide. It's their site.

I had a previous story that I was worried would break the TOS in terms of non-consent, and I contacted a mod and was told how to navigate the issue so it would avoid breaking the rules. The changes suggested also made it a better story.

My point is they are trying to help YOU, the writer, and also trying to help the site as a whole, by raising the quality of the stories. A rising tide lifts all boats.

Let's get matching Devil PJs and watch horror movies with Verbs and Rach who also have to wear matching devil pjs

Awhile back i was sitting outside at night stoned out of my mind headphones on and suddenly i feel something rough and weird feeling against my feet ( i was barefoot ) and i scream and look down and its just a armadillo!!

This baby groundhog thing might be an issue they are trying to squeeze through the vents and my cats are excited but I'm not...
Country life is fucking weird..


Fireball please


Rumps horror movie night! Entrance fee is that you have to wear Devil PJs!

I made my Facebook avatar the Black Lives Matter logo and am getting shit from a small handful of conservative relatives. Fuck em. I might make it my Lush avatar for a few days too.

So I submitted a micro so dark yesterday it's being debated as to whether they'll publish it. It stops just short of breaking the TOS. I understand if it gets a rejection.

In other news, Friends is back on streaming TV!!!

Anyway. Thanks for the set-up, the cute animals and the donuts all.

I'd love a köffee.

You know, if you were to list your favorite horror films what would they be? They'd don't have to be in any particular order.

But tell me what you like.

Here's mine, assorted randomly.

1. The Excorcism of Emily Rose
2. The Witch
3. Cabin in the Woods.
4. Jennifer's Body
5. The Others


GOOD list.

Mine:
The VVitch
Cabin in the Woods
Near Dark
Night of the Living Dead
The Ring

Carnival of Souls belongs there, but night of the Living Dead bumped it off. Alien too. I LOVE Super 8, but it doesn't seem horror-y enough to make the list. And I DEEPLY love Jennifer's Body, but there's only 5 spots.
Quote by Stormdog


Because you're too good at it and make the rest of us look bad? That's what I'm thinking, anyway...


Trust me, that's REALLY not it. I don't have a fucking clue how to write these damned things. I write a sentence, think "Hey, only 15 words, this is a piece of cake!" and then 30 seconds later I've got like 250 words and no idea what to edit out.

Still not working.

Sorry for not posting this in the Help part of the forum, where it probably should have gone.
Hey all.

Appreciate the set-up, Tonya and Gill. So sorry about the shaky night Tonya. Hope you can take the time to chill today. And Gill, ALL pajamas are the devil's pajamas, if you're wearing them right. smile

And thanks for the video, Carl. Thank you veterans, everywhere, for your service.

Nice lazy three day weekend. Hope it went well for all of you.

Just tried to post a dark little micro, to no avail. I'll try again in a bit.

Also re-categorized an older micro, Drowning, into the new category, and flung it up to the top of the list on my page.

In recognition of all the critters...
Quote by nicola
I tested it just now and although it hung for a short while, it went through.

Is it a competition piece?

Have you put it in the Microfiction category rather than another (as several people have done before they were moved)?

I'll make Gav aware either way that it's very slow to upload stories so he can look at what's causing the issues.


Not a comp piece. I'll try again in a bit. Thanks!
I am getting a "Error - General Error" when I try to post a microfiction story. Anyone know why?
Quote by sprite


i put upon you an onus to write a story with that title - Nudity is the Devil's Pajamas. smile


You put upon me an anus? What? Huh?

Digging all the little critters wandering into our little bar this weekend. Pandas and monkeys and deer and I do believe I even saw a squirrel.

Bill, you are absolutely right, fish fried in cornmeal seriously requires iced tea or beer.

Had a wonderful weekend, doing mostly nothing and enjoying it. Restaurants are opening up with restrictions, I'm game, LJ is still a little scared. We are going to break the quarantine with a trip up to Denver within the next couple weeks.

I wrote two micros this weekend. One for the comp, one not. The comp one sucks and will not see the light of day, but the other one is okay. I may post it tomorrow. I'm a little scared to see how many entries there are in the micro comp. It's very cool that it inspired so many people to write.

Original Scott, here's a song for you. Los Lobos channels Disney.

you'd have to be comfortable with a LOT of female nudity, then. just sayin'...


Have you even BEEN on Lush before? I think we're all pretty comfortable with female nudity here. Perhaps too comfortable. Nudity is the devil's pajamas!
