I think, with all due respect, that FART is not what you're seeking. That's a bit more puerile in terms of humor than what you're aiming for, isn't it? Over the top/dark comedy romp is different than slapstick or bathroom humor, yes?

Then, what are we all doing here, or have I misunderstood you?

What we're doing is wasting time.

FART is worse than BARF, which Gregg rejected.

I get the feeling we're wasting time on similar threads.

Gregg Bell · 01-30-2018, 06:02 PM

Post #15 guys. I decided on going with FART. I'm sorry. I could've been clearer.

BookCat · 01-31-2018, 02:24 AM

Gregg, I suggest you close the thread.

issybird · 01-31-2018, 09:23 AM

I think what Gregg is missing here is that the women don't find FART at all funny and thus you could infer that a woman's group wouldn't adopt that acronym - unless he's making an unfortunate comment about the basic intelligence of the women characters in his romp.

I think Gregg is rejecting good advice from those who'd know, but whatever.

Thanks, BookCat. That's definitely what I need to do, but how do I do that?

This. Except I don't see it as unfortunate. It's an over-the-top farce.
