Ange has a story in the Halloween contest

[*Catbabe*]

She's giving the first hundred people who give her fives a thousand dollars.

Okay I lied. (can I say Liar made me do it?) You get nothing but the pride in knowing you helped a really great writer get a score she probably richly deserves.

Oh, and the pleasure of reading Ange's words...something priceless.

Let us know when it's up Ange!!



The story, monkey,...the story...sheeesh.

Isn't this shameless? It won't win, anyway. It doesn't have enough sex, but I think I got all the commas right.





Hey the monkey's on a jury tomorrow. I just remembered I'm doing reviews. You owe me, neshomelah.

I was thinking maybe a few canapes first....

Robert Benchley, huh? What a sophisticated monkey you are. I want the next av in button down with glasses.

 

[Angeline]

Ok, I have ten votes. Fifteen more and I'm eligble to win. If I win the $100 dollars I'll um--sorry there are just too many of you to share--I'll keep it.



(Thank you again *Cat* for the opportunity to be a shameless vote-shilling hussy in a personal thread. And it went up fast didn't it? I just submitted it last night.)

The story, monkey! The story.

Your welcome Ange. I know how ruthless the contest voting is. I think I still have the scars. ; )


Oh, I almost forgot...I read it and no surprise, it's very well written and was a pleasure to read. Good luck with it, Ange! We'll be cheering for you.

your story is excellent--well researched and sexy. every story has more sex than mine, lol. I'm gonna comment on yours well--later when I get my act together (I've kind of been not doing anything for a change today and it feels really good).

 

[Angeline]

Thank you sweet sis, Maria. You know I love you.

Well it has 33 votes and a score of 4.67. Not bad.

That monkey better have voted, that's all I'm sayin. Monkey if you don't vote, I...I...I won't abuse you anymore. lol.

Oh and *Cat*? Keyboard boy seems to think you're paying him for voting. He's sweet but addled.

Keyboard boy is deluded...which is a nice word for very wrong. I told him he better get in here and vote before you paid someone to make him get in here and vote.

I think if I paid Loco, he'd break kb's for me.

 

[*Catbabe*]

I think if I paid Loco, he'd break kb's for me.

I think he would. *g* He seems to think I send him bad weather and that I don't give him the proper respect he ummm deserves so he isn't as willing to do things for me.

 

[Angeline]

I just talked to him last week. He's his usual sweetly morosely acerbic self.



And why would he blame the weather on you? Haha. I know where he lives and the weather there is crap without anyone's help.

 

[*Catbabe*]

I guess we can safely hijack your thread. It's for you and I started it...'nuff said *G*


Good description of the Locomeister. ; ) I can only safely agree with that, since I know he won't come here. Although, keyboard boy might tell on me. *G*

He blames his crappy weather on me and the rest of Canada. It's all perfectly logical.

Well if that's the case, I don't see why darkmaas should walk around blameless.

Even better, let's blame all the bad weather on him.

 

[Angeline]

ok. he says i blame him for everything anyway, so why not?

 

[Angeline]

Oh my god. I think I have to move to Chicago. Look at this. Is this the perfect job or what? I could get this job, I bet. But, it would be a long commute...
