Deal With It

The overhaul of the Orca was underway. Damaskinos finished programming a new ID while Eleutherios and Melantha changed the outside color from dazzling white to a dead black with blue stripes running away from the vents. They claimed the paint job would reduce its heat signature.

Seamus, Rose, and Bloodless all worked inside, adding technology and weapons. Bloodless had been complaining about his feet all day.

Seamus was pulling the missile rack in place when it slipped and fell at Bloodless' feet, which resulted in him yelling.

Seamus screamed back, "Ain't my fault you cried 'pull'! It missed yer bunion!"

It is most definitely the worst pun so far. As an indication of the severity of that pun, here's a round of applause from me <yeh! cheer! clappity clap!>

A Tale of Achenar Morpork

Commander Vimes suffered in full ceremonial regalia and thoughts of the missed evening playing Cripple Mr Onion in the Rebroken Drum added to his misery.

Simoofina and Psykowella, (two really weird Sisters), mono-tonally heaped praise on their art-work. “Isn’t the light fantastic and the colour of magical hue…”

The saccharine hyperbole was nauseating. “If I’m sick and have to rinse..” Wind blew on his neck. Instinct made him turn. The blade nicked his ear in passing and imbedded with a thud in one of the sisters.

“A murder! Praise be to the Small Gods“

“Guards! Guards!”, he called with glee.

A Mouthfull Of Head......

'Ahhhh Michelle just the person I was looking for. Well there’s no easy way to say this so i’ll come straight out with it…. I need you to give me warm creamy Head.'

'erm well'

'Look I know you love Head as much as I do. I’ve not had any Head in two days now, I miss the warm fuzzy feeling good Head gives you and i’ve been getting regular Head recently and it’s helped no end, especially with mugs.

'It iz just so sudden your gloriousness…..'

'just meet me outside McThargoids at lunch and you can cripple my onionhead.'

No title, instead I'll just apologise in advance

Oh noes! Have I really got to enter after Simon?

----------

<The audience hushed>
"Vying for a place in GalVision's final... please welcome back boy-band trio 'Meat and Two Veg'!"

Meat and Misty Onion shuffled in nervously, their uncomfortable entrance prompting mutters and gasps.

Obviously scornful Judge Winnard growled, "get on with it then!"

With a worried glance at Meat, Misty Onion sang.
"It's all gone propensis, a little bit rehensive so say no-go!
To hunting Black Crow-oh!
We can't afford defences, they're crippling expensive..."

"STOP!" Winnard barked. "Utter garbage! Where's your singer and writer Taytoh!?"

Tears welling, the well named Misty sobbed "H-he's dead, f-fuel scoo-scoop malfunction... Poe got baked!"

Excellent parry and riposte, Sir!! Deserving of rep, but I'm not allowed :(

If I could enter another drabble on the theme, I'd attempt to neutralise your counter... good play!




PS. How come there are suddenly so many moderators? Does it pay better? How does one apply? And, er, what does one have to do?

Hello chaps!

Sorry I'm late to the party again and thanks for all the votes last week.

And a well-deserved congrats Splendour, an inspiring drabble.

I've gone for pathos this week (wasn't he a musketeer?) and fully expect an avalanche of parodies

Casabianca 3301 (apologies to Felicia Dorothea Hemans)

The boy stood on the burning deck
Close by the captain's chair
He waited for his father's voice
Alone in brave despair

A children's entertainment ship
With nowhere left to go
Defiantly she stood her ground
Against a mighty foe

The pirate Python in command.
Resistance? Senseless folly.
The crippled Mr Onion bore
The scars of first cruel volley

The boy cried out "Speak Father!
The lifeboats all are gone.
The fires are getting closer."
But his reply was none.

The shields went down and finally
The Orca blew apart.
Space an empty silence
For the boy of noble heart.

Sorry, just realised I've breached etiquette and not congratulated Splendour on his win last week garnering, as he did, a fantastic 14 votes.

So in order to right that wrong may I say:

Well done Splendour

I can't host this week. I shouldn't have even done this... but oh well. It was a break from work. So I got the host started with the List So Far.

Fourteen (14) Drabbles entered so far. Looks like with all the Onionhead flooding the markets again, drabblers have been rather crippled.

Six slots left.... who will toss down their crutches and write? Entries due by this Thursday, 2nd April, 10pm GMT. (Y'all's time, as I refer to it.)

Drabbles are 100 words and you can check your number of words here: www.wordcounter.net

If Erik is up to his eyeballs and nobody else wished to step into the fray <stops and checks around for a while> It looks as if I'll be your host again.

Yup, I've got (yet again) another client meeting at the time the poll should be going up.

Maybe if I woke up at dawn and saw people at that time, then by the afternoon I'd be free.
Nah... that doesn't work!
