I was wondering if Midden was on the sauce, or if he was testing Frank to see if the ol' codger was on the sauce.

I've got a drabble with a pun so bad that it broke the computer.
And I lost it.
So now I have to re-write it, but I've been too busy flying missions for Hutton instead.
I think you lost it quite some time ago.
LISTEN UP PEOPLE!
We've only got about 9 hours left, let's get these last drabbles in. This may be our last chance before the new year so let's make it a full drabble show tomorrow night. Don't start without me
An idle conversation
Cleonymus was pontificating.
"It was better then. We just had a Sidewinder, but the universe was full of possibilities. Every trip was an adventure. Everything was possible. It was better then"
Smiler replied.
"Your mad. The ship was on loan and every trip was a nightmare with interdictions and falling prices and sheer bloody hard work. The future is the place. When we complete this mission, we will be rich. We can buy that Anaconda, stock it with luxuries and live the high life."
At that moment the interdiction warning sounded.
"At least we agree that the present is unwanted!"

Simoof "Saves" Christmas
Hell bound and heaven sent the Cobra dived suicidally towards the planet
"Not this year," he growled, "not another Christmas."
With almost superhuman poise the ship dodged the cargo crawler's incoming fire and unleashed two salvos of specially prepared missiles, obliterating the target and saving his family another torturous repetition of that song.
In the last few seconds of his life the pilot giggled before his Cobra pancaked into the rock below: "Oh no dear brother, no phallic arboreal joke gifts for the family this year, however will you cope?" the proximity alarm activated, "I guess it's a... ...Oh, sh-"

Edith managed to slip in a quickie before I locked things up for the poll. There's still time for more entries but my poll will have to be erected soon.
I'll get a coffee first to get me in the mood, but if anyone wants to shove in anything at this late stage they'd better holler out first.

Your Application Was Successful
He extricated her from the red velvet outfit, revealing dirty diapers covered by a loose pair of pants.
Her beard was a concoction of shaved cat hair and syrup, it was not convincing nor alluring and her sweaty stockings where starting to stink out the cockpit. He blamed the stale Wensleydale he ate for the moment of craziness on that fateful bus ride from Achenar.
He regretted deeply even considering the advert in the lonely hearts column, but something about it intrigued him enough. Now he was stuck with it… the line that hooked him?
Everyone have a Mary Christmas.

Maybe Kow has a wee one to insert?

<For Missy Lemon> Titled....A Christmas Delivery.....
It wasn't long before someone would notice, it wasn't like a bright yellow ship could stay unnoticed for long
slipping through the security patrols in silent running was a challenge but not impossible
parking in the station a doddle, but when the contents of the ship were unloaded to the black market
people noticed things immediately static on the monitors a large portion of the station getting sick. This was the 5th trip he had made and the station was almost at lockdown
Getting out this time would be hard but not impossible..
'Unknown, unwanted artifacts on Christmas day delivered...'

Missleman manages to shoot his load and land on the correct side of the deadline. I'm afraid the rest of you aren't so lucky.
----------- The deadline is here ---------------
and you have now past it. The poll is up

Hehe thank you to all who had good taste to vote for me.
The next topic is ...
The Twelve Months Of Elite Dangerous
Just like the song ... so something like "In the first month of Elite Dangerous, David Braben gave to me ..."
But of course, no obligation to stick to the song, that was just the inspiration for the topic.

Teething Troubles
It's been a looong year!
Bought a "cheap", bare-bones Sidey.
("The nav-and-flight-control systems from your father-in-law will work perfectly.")
They didn't! Back to the old-man to cadge more funds; new systems acquired and installed.
Flight test? Barely off the ground.
Systems check: Patched-up wreck of a ship incompatible.
Sold the ship for scrap.
New ship ("Thanks, old-man"). She flies!
Now time to...
Oh! Twelve months "repayment indenture" to my father-in-law...
Finally! Pilot-training, Combat-training. I'm ready!!!
Damn! All my friends are at least 700LY distant, multi-millionaires, or dead. I've got a basic Sidewinder and 100 credits.
But, tomorrow, I'll be FLYING!!!!!

Season One Medley
In the Twelfth Month of Elite, Frontier gave to me:
Twelve Scarabs leaping
Eleven Cutters docking
Endless Hutton Convoys
Nine Xbox Launches
Eight CQC fights
An emptied bar at Lavecon
Ten Powers playing
Five Macbook Pros
Four Pilots winged up
Three Community Goals
Two crashing limpets
And a Cobra at the launch party
We wish you merry Horizons
We wish you merry Horizons
We wish you merry Horizons
And a fun season Two.
Airless planets we bring
and more come the spring
We wish you merry Horizons
And a happy new year.
Jingle bells, cannon shells, Torpedoes away.
Eject! Eject!

Level Playing Field?
I just have to say about Psykokow beating Michael Brookes in the Charity Stream... Kow raked through the depths of time to pick his best ever Drabble whereas Michael dashed one off before before the show. Kow read his Drabble using some sort of hypnotic echoing voice-enhancer. And finally Kow had to bribe his voters by his donation of 50 quid.
