Which soap opera was it that announced it was going to use fan-written stuff as dream sequences on the show? I was telling a friend about that last night, and I couldn't remember, and she didn't believe me. Help? Did I in fact imagine this?
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm having a 'what the hell?' moment. Care to explain?
I don't know if its all that interesting to repeat. They had a contest to write the shortest story that actually was a story. That had a premise and a twist. The shortest story that they felt was a whole story (by whatever their standards were) was: "The last man on earth sat in his house. There was a knock on the door."
After some chatting somebody offered a shorter version of the same story: "The last man on earth sat in his house. There was a lock on the door."
Somebody finally trumped that with: "The last man on earth sat in his house. There was a LOC on the door."

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty
Intresting, in its way.
Afterwards, I recalled the shortest short story tale:
A teacher set her class to write a short story, telling them (they must have been a fairly adult class) that a good short story has riches, people with titles, sex, religion, and mystery. One of her pupils supposedly wrote:
"Oh my God!" cried the Duchess. "I'm pregenant, and I don't know whose it is!"
Much the same, really.

I mean, how often do you get to name a story "A Phallus in Pigtails" and have it be utterly appropriate?

In my case? Never.

Something worked for me last night. Grooving along to some early Bowie, needed a better story title, blammo.
It's nice when that actually happens.

Where is this story? Google giggles and returns no results, and I don't think I got it on the BFA-- is it posted anywhere that I can see?
