A little light relief...

Simoof looked happy, it had been a successful weeks trading

Conning Cmdr Docstone into buying 520 tonnes of Algae as a rare psychotropic drug had been a particularly good memory.

So here he sat in the Peppermint Hippo.

It promoted itself as 'thee' most exotic in the galaxy boasting 10 floating poles the floating nature of the acts put Simoof in an even better mood.

'giz a kiss' Simoof said to a particularly buxom lady 'an it'll rain credits fer ye'

'My name is Bunny' she pulled out a pistol 'and Bunny is no object...'

And thats when Simoof died...

All in the name of science

The screams echoed down the corridor of the ship.
Wrong place, Wrong time but worse of all wrong species.
A bone protruded through his arm a mess of splinters where 'they' had hit it seemingly testing his resistance.
Pain had became a normality, he had barely made a sound when first his fingernails were lifted and removed.
Then shortly after, the finger onto which it was attached.
At first he he had pleaded with them, he had millions of credits, money was no object just... just make it stop he had pleaded
but money was meaningless to the clicking scientist.

After Dan left a bitter taste in our mouths with 'm'knees no object!', I was considering a little palette cleanser of a pun that took the "Monet" approach. You saved me the effort <grin>

The worst thing about this is that platinum is a useful metal. It's a shame that it's so expensive because of the people who want to dangle the stuff off various parts of their bodies.

Maybe if we do mine this asteroid all the platinum flooding the market will cause a price crash and people will start using it for wires and connectors.

Informative and with a magnificent pun in the title, you're doing great things.

What Makes you Itch

What makes you itch? What sort of situation would you like? What would you like to do if money were no object? How would you really enjoy spending your life?

Well you do that, and forget the money. If you say that getting the money is the most important thing, you will spend your life completely wasting your time. You'll be doing things you don't like doing in order to go on living, that is, to go on doing things you don't like doing. Which is stupid.

So therefore it's so important to consider this question.

What do I desire?



(Not an entry, a drabble-isation of Alan Watts, but on topic and worth reading)

I used to enjoy a Calvados sorbet as a palette cleanser while pontificating on how "youth is wasted on the young" (especially Simoof)

There once was a poster, Clef_Hanger,
A complete and utter head banger,
He once classed Simoof
as young, nay a youth!
When we all know he's an old flipping wanger*!

You're so spot-on that it's scary! I should have said "(and Simoof)"
Have some rep!

DocStone is a drabbler and meanie,
Who once flashed a dog with his weenie,
The dog took a fright,
And with more a nibble than bite,
Cos screw you DocStone, and poems are gay.

The last line really is ' And I use this pic as a screenie'


There once was a man called Simoof
Who's bowels were a little uncouth
once when he sharted
The river Clyde parted
and out shot a public phone booth.....

MrMogadon has landed my first vote when I read his yesterday. Wonderful snipe at Frank! I LOLed all over myself.
Then I just read Clef's, and I knew where my 2nd vote was going. (PS- I'm voting for this one due to the pun, and not some arbitrary switching of letters in the alphabet.)
I was going to leave the third vote as my Sympathy Vote to be handed to Kow, Alien, or Simoof... but then...
Then I read Simon's drabble.

Now I must shower as the LOLing all over myself has taken itself to a new level.

Let's get the poll up. My three votes are ready to go.

I don't know why that's a snipe at me. I would've happily accepted the 30 credits. We do have another great bunch of Drabbles this week. It's a shame the poshest person in the Galaxy, Alex Merion-Turner, hasn't returned to the contest this week. They may be the words of Alan Watts, but you're the one who's arranged them into Drabble format. And if Alan Watts was really that bothered about this competition he would've entered it himself. I hope Mr Kow features the Drabble on his show.

Who fancies hosting the poll this week?

Hi Erik,

In a case of reciprocal admiration, you have one of my votes this week because you featured me in an actual speaking role*. My mum would be so proud.

However, although it pains me deeply to risk losing up to half of my votes in this week's competition, I think you may be intending to vote for my congratulatory missive to Frank and not my actual Drabble entry, although it could be that I've been ultra clever with my hidden themes that only highly intelligent people can discern**.
You still get my vote however.


(* Yes, I am THAT shallow and vain)
(** N.B. I'm not highly intelligent)

Can money buy happiness?

Tarren was a successful trader, a stinking rich trader.

Money was no object. Throwing it around as if it was going out of fashion.

He thought he was the best thing since sliced Lavian fruitcake.

Some thought he was a fool. Others, like me, thought he was giving us good traders a bad name.

Begging at the landing pads was increasing, adding time getting to and from our ships.

It had to stop. It was costing us credits in more ways than one.

And it did, when he was arrested for fraudulently acquired credits.

I wonder who hacked his account?

Wait a sec! So https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=5777&page=486&p=2567502&viewfull=1#post2567502
with the line, “Well Done Frank, Sorry I’m late. I see the writing classes paid off then”
is NOT a Drabble entry?! (Now as I look at it, it seems to be a bit too many words in there.)

*sigh* I love that line. “Well Done Frank, Sorry I’m late. I see the writing classes paid off then” I say it to myself every once in a while and giggle.

Well, that freed up one of my votes again. ;) But you still have time to correct it!!! :D

PS- Kow, I won't be in Teamspeak again this week as I'll be out at a client's. So you don't have to ask if I want to read my drabble! :)
