Okay, so the slug I wrote for the Movies thread is much too long. How about:
Everything but hobbits and Kristy Swanson.
Bar maid! Bring me stronger ale! And some plump, succulent babies to eat!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It should include something about the Foamies, no? Or not yet?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm not sure when people want to do the Foamies. Last year it was after the Oscars.

How about we edit it when the Foamies happen?

It's only a tad longer than the Music slug. Drop the "Um. Yeah" and the "Drop on by" and it'd be the same length.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
The fact that it's as long as another slug that's too long only means both are too long. But since I didn't bring any of this up during any of the thread proposals, I figured I'd abide.

I think both slugs are too long, personally. We made the original ones more "just the facts," so it would be easy for people to tell what to talk about in that thread. Not that the longer ones don't do that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Wot Liese said.

I remember only one, maybe two, people complaining about the Music slug length, but whatever. I've got no strong attachments to any of them.
t edit Ummm... OK, maybe three or four. ahem.

I agree with myself and Liese and ita. ;)
