I can do it. I might just keep my ban shield close in case I trigger some alarms when I raise the poll
and then I'll blame it on Mr Winnard
That's the way to handle blame - the Winnard takes it all!and then I'll blame it on Mr Winnard
the loser standing small... probably at the end of the voting with a forlorn look and a mop... tasked with the job of cleaning up the mess
The list of shame so far...
End of day 2 and the list is shaping up quite nicely. Not as nice as a stately home's well-groomed topiary of course. No that would be pretty difficult. This isn't the manicured gardens in some sleepy village we're talking about after all, this is the monstrous horrors of one hulking Coriolis named after one of the galaxies most notorious <snip>...

Well... erm, what can I say?... 15 drabbles so far... anyone else brave enough to write a drabble about "What I found in Winnard's Hole?"

Gosh, we're all really impressed down here
This is a most excellent pun but I'm all repped out. Could someone please do me a favour and give Telakin the reputational point he deserves for this.
And while you're about it... a round of points for Galactic Midden.

Rep given. Five slots remaining for any drabblists brave enough to take one Winnard's Hole
Are you saying you like the bush neatly trimmed?
And how would it survive outside Winnard's Hole anyway? I'd be much more afraid of the scum that lives inside...
Did some-one mention Terry Pratchett - Automatic Rep

Death
Seeing as you are missing a couple of Drabbles I've whipped up some filling for Winnards Hole:
.
.
“Winnards Hole, a name to conjure with.” Mused the Captain
“Maybe someone didn’t like the place or was Winnard a person?” asked Bob.
“No idea Bob but if I had a credit for every school boy snigger that Winnards Hole has caused I’d be a very rich man.”
“Is it nice here?” Asked Bob.
“No” He replied tersely lining up on the entrance.
It was about then he remembered the unpaid fine for smuggling, which also sadly coincided with the security scan, which in turn led to the stations defences opening fire.
What they found at Winnards Hole, was death

Bizare Bazzar
Anything and everything an Asp can unload
Is sold at the marketplace in Winnards Hole
For curios it is renowned
No port in space can match
The width and breadth of junk and tat
Beyond that landing hatch
What was found in Winnards Hole?
A parcel tied with string?
A grand Imperial footbath?
An Orca landing spring?
Perhaps a Thargoid hull fragment,
A prize from that great war?
A signed 3D of Susan Boils?
A frame shift drive power core?
My great find at Winnards Hole
Was not in that bazzar,
A vintage Lavian Brandy
Was found behind the bar.

Oh and Mr Grey
Wow, dunno how I managed that. And after spending such efforts trimming it down from an original 126... I've edited in 4 extra words.
Unholy
As he circled the rim, the incredible suction was literally tearing his repair machine apart.
Struggling fruitlessly to resist the portals dreaded embrace, the gaping horrendous maw tried to drag anything close into it's terrible depths.
The power spluttered a final death rattle just before the inevitable happened.
He bravely managed to finish the job.
Suddenly a unholy power wrenched it free. It was lost forever in the abyss of Winnard's hole.
"Well Mr Winnard, the operation seems successful. Plenty of rest, this rubber ring may help"
Thanks Doc" Winnard replied, "I'll finally be able to ride my bike again."

Only 2 openings left to fill.
Winnard's Hole says it can only take 100 words at a time, but the title doesn't count in the total wordcount, so you can s-q-u-e-e-z-e a bit more in and make Simon whimper.
