The Mugging muggers been mugging mugged!

"Youse best gizza your money miss."
She sighed, barely 24 hours into shore leave, and three goons were trying to mug her.
One had a flick knife, the other 2 had gormless, room temperature IQ expressions.
She however, had the Mug.

>CLONG<

The first flew backwards, knife flying upwards alongside lots of broken teeth.

>CLONG<

The second fell as she brought the Mug hard down on his skull.
The third ran, and promptly fell as the expertly thrown mug >CLONG<ed into the back of his neck.

She collected her undamaged Mug.
The Hutton Mug, federally certified for close combat.

Bloody Mugs

He fell to the ground, blood gushing from the back of his head.Splinters of mug lay exploded all around him.
Why were people laughing?
"MUG!"
This one tore open his face, he started to choke. His left eye deflated and fell out the socket, impaled with shards of the last mug.
"MUG! MUG! MUG!"
Pulverising his face, a red pulp unrecognisable as human.
His last dimming thought... why is this amusing? All I did was forget his hobnob .
"MUG!"
Blood and brains splattered, sparing the mug its pre-determined destiny.
A silver one - the finisher - a Hutton Mug.
*mug* - unheard.

MUGGERS

Apparently in ancient times people worshipped mugs or at least, held them in high regard.
Ancient sayings translated from data records include, "My, what a gorgeous mug you have", "Get your mug out of my face" and "I was mugged".
There is record of a group who worshipped mugs in social media who some claim is a self-fulfilled prophecy that only has become reality as a memorial to this group who posted across multiple venues within social media, even including video steams, audio streams and text files all dedicated to them.
They are known simply as the Hutton Orbital Muggers.

That's 6 great stories, and it's only the first day. If we keep up this rate we'll have 24 stories by the time I put up the poll. Keep up the good work.

The challenge we are setting you is to write a story in exactly 100 words. Not a word more. Not a word less.

The story should be set in the Elite Universe and the exact number of 100 words does not include the title. On Sunday the winner shall have the honour of choosing the next topic. It was Listeri69 what won it last week, and the topic he set us is MUG!!!

A good place to compose your story is recommended by Erik, http://www.wordcounter.net/

Entries to a poll will be limited to the first 20 Drabbles submitted, and the poll might go up earlier than Thurday night if all those slots are filled but don't let that stop you from showing us what you would have entered in the contest. Friday night the live readings occur http://twitch.tv/psykokow so don't miss it, all drabbles are read out... 7pm BST

Please bear in mind that this is a family forum, read by little people with impressionable minds and old folks who are easily shocked. We want people to feel comfortable reading this thread. Don't write anything that you wouldn't want to read out in front of your family. It may appear a little hypocritical of me to ask you to watch your language. I myself sometimes find it difficult to know what is and isn't acceptable. The rule of thumb I use is that I drink several mugs of strong coffee and then I read what I typed. If I think my Drabble is a little too close to the knuckle after I've sobered up, then I don't post it.

The Hutton Mug

Apprentice Technician Fiona Ross' first day was a disaster. The chief had sent her to fetch the light-second timer from Astrometrics, they didn't have it but they wanted a zero-g pendulum from the docking bay instead. Docking sent her to Hydroponics for hyperspace jump leads and on she went, frantically searching the entire station, hunting equipment no one had.

At the end of her shift she found a gift-wrapped package in her locker, inside a metal mug and a note:

"You might be gullible but you don't give up. Welcome aboard, from your friends on the Hutton Orbital maintenance crew."

Been there, LOL. Once spent a long time in the ordnance stores waitng for a 'long weight' (or so I thought). Rep +1 (unfortunately I have to spread it round a bit. (how can one adjust the amount of love one can spread?))

I generally recommend repping me so you can cycle back around.

I also jump into the general forum and hit 6-7 people with rep, then can come back here. :)

What happened to all the mugs?

It was 3315 and Commanders Serj and Rezqu exchanged glances of anticipation as the prospect of finding the fabled lost bounty of Hutton slowly become reality. For 14 years mysterious tales of intrepid truckers braving the galaxy with prolific intent had filled outposts and taverns, for none had returned.

Approaching thick forests below the ship slowed as mangled ruins and cargo containers came into view. The sensitive Docker™ tracking system <blip-blip-blip> counted out ever decreasing intervals as the ship descended towards the source.

<Clunk> Touchdown!

Stepping down Serj instantly recognised the markings ".22LY" and beamed, "it's a trucker!...... wait....... NOOOOOO!"

Space is lonely.

It's all very well building wealth, discovering new places, avoiding sudden and violent death, but...

That's why I responded to the ad.

"Empty co-pilot's seat? Want some company?
'My-Unique-Friend corp. supplies authentic android
'pal' to acompany you to the stars."​

I fell for it. A large portion of my credit balance was exchanged for Arianne, a gorgeous brunette with piercing green eyes and sensuous lips.

Now I miss the loneliness. Arianne sits motionless next to me as we cross light-years, but she never shuts up, spouting endless, meaningless clichés.

My Unique Girlfriend? They must have seen me coming!

The best version I heard was a Junior Naval Rating who was sent to fetch a bucket of steam from the engine room. 10 minutes later he shows up with a bucket containing dry ice and water :)

The most cruel one I saw was way way years ago when I was at technical drawing class. Someone came in and asked for a "long weight". The teacher asked him to hang on a minute while he finished that particular part of the lesson. There were about thirty of us trying hard not to snigger while we all watched as the pupil just waited and waited and waited.
