The Kow & The Moof Sailed Away In A Beautiful Pea Green Boat ...

Once upon a time, Psykokow was in a magical world where spaceships existed and you could travel the galaxy and land on planets.

But evil Simoof had infected the galaxy with the pun virus, which caused words to be substituted for double-entendrés.

Everything was phone however, because Simoof couldn't possibly call every system in the milky way, but there were other chocolate bars.

Psykokow's ship, The Poached Egg, had been skittled and the engineers, M&M, were flaked as to why it was pot noodled.
Then we all had a finger of fudge and everyone lived happily ever after.

The End.

16 entries is great going. Well done everyone. And a special thanks to all the new players as well. It brings a new flavour to the old chewing gum of the regular players. There's still time for any late entries; about an hour.

If you think you might miss the deadline then just post a message telling me to hold the gate open for another minute or two.

Ventura_ - Floating in space

Many people attended Chaffing funeral, with his body placed in a canister and sent in to space.

Nearby a ship lay in wait, it was looking for something and then suddenly it moves off, it lined up,

lowed its Cargo Scoop, brought the canister aboard, releasing another in its place followed by a jump

into hyperspace.

Looking in a window, Chaffing’s body, lay peaceful not moving, like this was out of a Fairytale.

The person Injected Chaffing with a yellow liquid, Chaffing started to move.

Matt Said “That was close, any longer you would be a Pigfart in a can”.

Yes, Frank, it is I! I thoroughly enjoyed EliteMeet and it was lovely meeting you and such a wonderful group of CMDRs. I am not much of a writer, but I hope to be able to contribute the odd drabble here and there.

Really Frank? You compare our best pieces of writing to old chewing gum. You really want someone else to win this week don't you.

The Commander Under The Mountain

I was young when I found the mountain. It was on a moon beyond the bubble, I remember it overlooked the most beautiful twin Earth-like worlds. I followed my SRV scanner and found the door, an ancient design from a history book.

I found him beneath, waiting in a Stardreamer, living one second each hour, I saw no harm in waking him.

He woke and spoke to me: "Has the 2.1 beta been released yet?"

"Not yet," I admitted

"Then my time has not yet come. Begone!" he declared and I awoke in my SRV, no mountain in sight.

Welcome to another week of Abraka Drabble, the weekly drabble competition where we invite you all to submit your drabbles, what's a drabble ?

A drabble is a short story of exactly 100 words (Excluding Title) and for the purpose of this competition it is set in the elite : Dangerous universe and to fit the theme picked by the previous weeks winner.

Last week's drabble competition was won by our feline friend FelixBast and in aknowledgement of our 3rd year running the new topic for this week is........

"Celebrations"

celebrations.gif

Now we do have some rules...

1. Drabbles must be 100 words exactly (Excluding the title)
2. Over-use of-hyphens-to keep your word-count at 100 is very amusing but frowned upon.
3. Keep it as clean as you can to suit the family forum rules here, so no frogs attached to anatomical parts
4. Only the first 20 entries are guaranteed a place in the weekly poll
5. 1 entry each, you may write as many drabbles as you want, but it is assumed that your first drabble is your chosen entry unless otherwise advised. But please mark Drabbles that you don't want entered as such
6. If your drabble is under or over 100 words you will have a chance to correct it before the poll is erected, at this point, your drabble may be DQ'd if other drabbles are available to take its place.
7. Drabbles must be set in the Elite Dangerous universe (as loosely as you care to make it)
8. It should try to meet the theme in some arguable way.
9. If there is more than one theme you must match at least one, but can gain extra votes if you meet more.
10. It's all for a bit of fun, so enjoy yourself... Enjoyment is mandatory!

Sometimes it's difficult to know what constitutes exactly 100 words. Out arbiter is
www.wordcounter.net
It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong. Its count is the law.

So submit your drabbles in reply to this thread, and the first 20 will be guaranteed entry into this weeks poll, and read out on our live Show Friday night.
Entries close at Random O'clock on Thursday evening (or sometimes if we have 20 entries earlier). All Drabbles submitted up to Friday Afternoon will have a good chance of being read out on the live Drabble readiing show.

Title:- Chief's Search his ladies present

Chief executive officer Cashman wanted find some traditional box of chocolates,
He travelled the whole area of human space searched every starport.
But couldn't find the box he wanted.
He searched until he got a lead.
The went to the planet earth and searched everywhere.
London to New York to Rome to Tokyo.
He was in a bar droning his sorrows in some Lavian Brady.
When he saw what looked like a box.
Yes he went there and it was the chocolates he been looking for.
There was celebrations that night.
Because his lady loved a box of Milk Tray.

Title: Fallen off the Back of a Type-9? No Guvnor!

CMDR FluffyBun squeaked irately “I’ve been duped!”.

He was involved in a community goal to bring clothing from Powell High in Wolf 359 to Hutton Orbital.

His Asp was filled with the finest Yves Saint Zaonce. He’d sell his goods, take his bonus, and celebrate with a Glasgow Hull Stripper … or so he thought.

He opened the cargo canisters to reveal not haute couture but tons of worthless ballast.

The only clothing FluffyBun found was a T-shirt which had emblazoned on it: “I did the Hutton Orbital Clothing Community Goal … and all I got was this lousy T-shirt”.

"Oh well, It'll Have To Do."

The ship was stranded, stuck on a barren rock at the edge of the bubble.

“Situation-report?” the Commander requested.

“Drives non-functional; auto-repair non-functional; food-synthesizer non-functional; water-supply contaminated; back-up life-support functional with two months battery power. Distress message transmitted and received; rescue mission en-route, ETA six weeks. Report ends.”

“So I’ll starve in relative comfort” the Commander sighed.

Then he remembered his cargo of Lavian-Tree-grub caviar, Leesti Brandy, Nukie-Brun-Ale and other luxury foods destined for a Duke of the Empire, one of the Emperor’s cousins.

“Well, I won’t starve, after all,” he thought happily, “but I will be on 'Celeb' rations.”

I always win...what do you mean I didn't win last weeks drabble? I demand a recount / do-over / stewards enquiry

Crap, balls and other naughty words. Coutts stood frozen to the spot. What to do? He was sure they were about to announce him as the winner, he won everything it was his “thing”.

Somehow they had read out someone else’s name. Despite that he’d risen to accept the award and started walking to the stage, flushed with success. Then his brain clicked into gear and the horrifying truth smashed over him. He hadn’t won, everyone was looking at him, he felt like an utter tool and there was no way out.

Some celebration this had turned out to be…

How to Kill a Martyr

Spaceships fill their cargo holds with re-entry activated fireworks. It'll be a spectacular display. It's a day of melted cheese and pyrotechnics, but does anyone remember what the day's about?

A slave's piloting skills had won him his freedom in the Arena. What had he seen that made him hate the Empire? To rise against us? To have the audacity to attack Achenar with a puny squadron of Cobras, even knowing such an attempt was suicide.

Children melt wedges of cheese beside a burning model Cobra. How can they know anything about vengeance? About the day we celebrate killing Simoof.

The frogs strike back

Simoof entered the vivarium, and promptly had a cabinet of mild steel fall on his head.
"We got him!" said a frog.

The frogs cheered, one pointed at the bicycle pump in Simoof's hand.
"Quick, the fart reverser!" it said. Two frogs hopped to the floor and took the pump from his unresisting hand.

They hopped down to the ship's cargo bay, and threw it down the hatch.
"Out with it, out with it!"
A frog jumped at the jettison button, bounced off it, and sent the pump out the ship.

"Yaaaaay"
The frogs happydanced the rest of the trip.
