Balls to the Wall

[shereads]

I'm the best there is, and I'm here. Ergo.

I'd love to give you a 5 here, on the assumption that nobody else's post to this thread will make me exhale that much Diet Coke through my nose. But I continue to hold out hope that someone will write a post that's genuinely worthy of a perfect score. Unfair? I suppose it is. So is skating a perfect routine at the Olympics as the first skater. The judges are reluctant to give the contest away before it's truly begun.

You're good, Liar. You're a 4 in this instance, and that's nothing to be ashamed of. Have a banana.



My criteria for a 5 post:

Diet Coke exhale + cleansing tears + at least one re-read to appreciate the multiple layers of meaning + engaged my interest in the first three sentences + induced a contemplative but not melancholy mood + no more than three m's, three g's and three exclamation points in "I'm cummminggg!!!"

Keep trying.

I need to read Liar's post ( I haven't, yet). But, I know he makes you spit, not swallow.
