What they really wanted to say....(utterly silly silly silly)

Before those darned editors got their hands on the scripts....

----

The boy stood on the burning deck,
and got burned.

----

The boy stood on the burning deck,
the stoopid idjit.

----

To be, or not to be,
that is the question...
(now answer that, in your best hand-writing, in fewer than 100 words....15marks

----

In space,
No-one can hear you scream,
No-one can survive...

(The End)

----

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
Swatting all the flies around
And side-stepping cow pats a-many,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
Of naked golden bodies,
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Cavorting and dancing in the breeze.

----

I'm most immediately attracted to the words above your avatar (i suppose there is correct name for them, but I sure don't know it). "Giver of chocolate". Boy-oh-boy, do I want to know you!!

incurable avaricious consumer of chocolate

That would be "User Title" -- if GeoffC's is accurate, I want to move in next door to him.

Candy's dandy but chocolate's quicker.

Obviously a dead thread...
Exit stage right...

Lobolover · 05-24-2008, 09:37 AM

We had one competition replacing words with "Milshake"-like "This is the begining of a beatifull milkshake " .

I didn't get the original post. Maybe I'm dense. Explain?

More likely the idea didn't work...

The idea was that the phrases were what the author originally wrote, the editor changed them to those we know and love....

But as I said earlier - exit stage right or left - you chose...

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness; it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity; it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness; it was salt, it was pepper, it was Left and then Right, you know, it was this and then it was that, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair; we had everything before us, we had nothing before us; we were all going directly to Heaven, we were all going to Hell in a hand basket.
