Something about programming syntax, I'm sure. I'd like to think it's about Python or Ruby or C, or something else useful, but it was probably about JavaScript...
nerd!

I was under the impression that a previously posted story could not be entered as a comp entry... doesn't seem quite right.
Quote by Gillianleeeza
It has been an interesting theme. I did try to read as many as I could. It is always interesting to see how people interpret the theme.
I was curious as to one thing. I thought that RRs and such were not awarded until after the competition was over. There is currently a story on the main page listed as a comp story that already has an RR. Perhaps I am mistaken in the protocol followed?

Everything in life is a choice--there shouldn't be anything wrong w/ choosing who to love/fuck but it's a choice.
Couldn't careless what the original op quoted but it's a choice...but then again Bill Nye comes to mind and he explained it well.
Mixed opinion seeing as I respect him.
Nice Gag Sprite.

How you all are?
Sorry about showing up so late...though nobody seems to have missed me. My problem was, after following the Vegas shooting story for longer than is mentally healthy, I turned to Lush, eager to find out if my entry had been accepted.
It hadn't been.
I can't fuss. It was approximately 100% my fault. I'd got it stuck in my head that the word count was 2500 to 5000 words. My opus weighed in at, 3300-words, way over the 'reall'y top limit of 3000.
So I've spent my morning pruning and then re-re-re-editing and then re-submitting.
As the old folks say down South, I ain't had so much fun since the hogs ate my baby brother. (that's a joke, I think)
Anyway, if this edition slips by the mods, I'll let y'all know. Meanwhile, I know Phil wants coffee, but the rest of you will need to re-order. Sorry about that. Oh, stop bitching.

What a lovely charitable act Sprite.The island has been decimated.
Great idea for a competition. Would you like the winner to be gifted a "Platinum Membership" too? Very happy to arrange that.

I'm getting the same feeling. I have been trying to read as many as I can. I now just want a drink and to forget I entered. I'll take something strong since I do not have to be anywhere until tonight. I'm taking a break from reading now. My eye has finally decided that's enough focusing for today.
BTW, I love Canadians, I married one after all. Although it does appear at times that the rest of Canada is a bit removed from Newfoundland and not just geographically. It is a different place in many ways but one I have grown to love.
Cheers Everyone!

I checked the charity navigator rating - 85%+ of their donations go directly to their intended benefit. It appears to be an outstanding charity to donate to.
Donated, I WANT MY STORY!
Quote by DamonX
I see what you're saying. I would never wear a total green suit. That would just be weird. I do have a few green shirts that look good with a black sport coat. I can't really find any good pics of the stuff I have since fashion now seems to be skewed towards hipster tight pants that don't come down to the ankles and gross looking neck beards.
Like that? Gross.
Cobalt blue is actually my go-to color.
I used to wear a lot of red but I began to feel a little vampire-y. Especially with an eyepatch, I would feel as if I should be stealing diamonds from a museum or something.

So it is OK to imply that people who have different political believes are not very bright and get easily fooled then, here in the Spa?
Quote by noll
You implied that Trump voters are not the brightest people, that they don't see Trump's deceptions yet, that they get easily distracted/manipulated by him and that they ignore evidence that he does this, even if it's in plain sight. And while I agree, this could easily be considered offensive in a true safe space, which the Spa is said to be.
Quote by Gillianleeeza
What a great idea (a personalized tentacle sex story, sorry I was just thinking out loud).
I have already donated once through the Red Cross but wanted to donate again through a different group. Especially after seeing how "well" our current administration is doing.
Thank you for doing this and encouraging everyone to continue to donate.

Or an Awesome Award if they haven't already got one?
Sounds like an interesting idea. I hope the winner picks some really crazy stuff for you to write about, lol.
All for a good cause!
