Google Chumming - Audience Participation Dynamite Fishing Meme (PINNED TO THE TOP FOR ST. PATTY'S DAY)
Okay, as you know from previous posts, I'm a) in something of a writer's funk and b) out of here until the weekend. However, I believe I've hit upon a nifty little meme that will both keep you amused in my absence and spur me on upon my return.
Your task: Drop one or more comments to this post on any subject you wish. Go nuts. While crudity is not required, invention will be much cherished.
My task: Upon my return, I will take all of your comments and fashion them into a single essay. Links will be embedded for fellow bloggers who contribute, appropriate props for non-blogging participants. What will the essay be about? How the hell should I know? It's utterly dependent on what you send in.
Hint: Whatever the content of the essay, I can promise this: The Scottish Dwarf will rue the day. I'm talking imminant rue-age.
Yip! Yip! Yip!

I'm flattered that the program would consider my writing to be timeless, but this rayther interferes with things. Would you (or one of our 10 other registered authors) kindly post date this entry to Friday, March 17. Thankee kindly in advance.***
DONE AND DONE YIPS from Steve:
And here's my first contribution laddie:
There was no hope for him this time: it was the third stroke. ... His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead.
It says "FRAHH-JEEE--LAY"...that means it's from Italy!"
"Plisskin? I thought you were dead!"
"Come on, it's Czechoslavakia---it's like invading Wisconisn!""Yeah, I got my ass kicked in Wisconsin once."
Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendia was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice."
Amory, sorry for them, was still not sorry for himself--art, politics, religion, whatever his medium should be, he knew he was safe now, free from all hysteria--he could accept what was acceptable, roam, grow, rebel, sleep deep through many nights.... There was no God in his heart, he knew; his ideas were still in riot; there was ever the pain of memory; the regret of his lost youth--yet the waters of disillusion had left a deposit on his soul, responsibility and a love of life, the faint stirring of old ambitions and unrealized dreams. But--oh, Rosalind! Rosalind!....
And, last for now,
The Scottish Dwarf was a cruel, but gentle taskmaster.

Posted by: The Maximum Leader at March 14, 2006 06:23 PMThere is a thought that keeps me thinking, like a stone inside my shoe. It is a vision re-ocurring, a dirty window I can see you through. You think it's funny, but what I say is true; the reason that I live like this is all because of you.

From: Mrs. Sarah Welsh.
Attn:
I am Mrs. Sarah Welsh, an English woman who is suffering from cancerous ailment. I am married to Sir Jim Welsh who worked with the British Railways for over two decade before the cold hand of death took him away on the 23rd of July 2003. Our marriage lasted for over a decade without any fruit of the womb. Before my husband died we made a vow to uplift the down-trodden and the less-privileged individuals within the United Kingdom, Europe, North and South America, Africa and the rest of the globe as he had passion for persons
Who can not help themselves due to physical disability or financial predicament I can adduce this to the fact that he needed a Child from this relationship, which never came.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of
10 Million (Ten Million Great Britain Pounds Sterling with an offshore Finance House. Presently, this money is still with the Finance House.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I have limited or numbered days on earth due to the cancerous problems. With this hard reality that has befallen me, I have decided to donate this fund to a non-governmental, or a non religious, and or a non profit organization or better still an individual, that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in. I want a non governmental, or a non religious, and or a non profit organization or better still an individual, that will use this gift which comes from my husbands sweat to fund the upkeep of widows, widowers, orphans, destitute, the down-trodden, physically challenged children, barren-women and persons who prove to be genuinely
Handicapped financially.
I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are bourgeois and I do not want my husband Jim Welsh hard earned money to be misused or invested into ill perceived ventures. I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner, hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be with the Almighty when I eventually pass on. The Almighty will fight my case and I shall hold my peace. I do not need any telephone communication in this regard due to my deteriorating health and because of the presence of my husband relatives around me.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank. I will also issue you a Letter of Authority that will empower you as the original beneficiary of this fund. Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for a non-governmental, or a non religious, and or a non profit organization or better still an individual for this same purpose.
Hope to hear from you soon and God bless you and members of your family.
Mrs. Sarah Welsh.
