Three word story thread

    Dear problem page lady,
    There's a "Three word story!" thread on boardsie & I think I have a problem. I'm finding it harder and harder to keep it to 3 words each post... sometimes I hate letting other people put in their 3 bits.. I often feel like writing a novel in there and its driving me crazy!! I get jealous when other people post funny things.. I can't stand it if someone uses a bigger word than I do, especially if it comes directly after one of my posts.
    I think I need some thoughts from you on this... do you think I should talk to one of the moderaters about getting a Novel Thread all for myself maybe? or what other solutions could you think of?
    Please help, I'll have to bash the screen of my laptop if this continues, I just can't take it anymore..
    Thanks problem page lady. You're worth paying 50c for them ****e tabloids girl, you are what sells them.. and i think some of the lads like the sport too.. but mostly its you for sure!
    If you ever have any problems yourself, you can talk to me! :)
    Yours sinsilly,
    xxx Backtoblack xxx

    Dear Backtoblack,
    I suggest that you chill out and buy a thesaurus. then perhaps you will be able to match other multisyllabic posts. Also, a handy thing to do may be to keep pressing f5 after you post, waiting for a reply, and then instantly post another three words. This way you will exponentially increase your wordage culpability in the thread and soon the thread will indeed become a novel. Of course with this level of dedication to the thread you will no doubt end up calling in sick, losing your job as a result and going insane from the eating mouldy pizza crusts that will be littered around your room as you strive to create the new novel-thread. Eventually, this new literary technique may find favour with the Nobel committee and you will posthumously be awarded a distinction, thereby giving your previous-to-this-pathetic-excuse-for-a-life some sort of meaning in the eyes of the multitude, giving you a Kafkaesque aura of failed genius to be studied by chin stroking know-it-alls for decades to come.

    Also, I think guys buy the paper for the picture versions of the problems page, which invariably involves soft core nudity, a child born out of wedlock, or a questioning of one's sexual preferences and/or connection to one's partner.

    I hope this has been enlighting,
    Briantheproblemladybard.

    Dear Briantheproblemladybard

    You are the way, my savoir, my light and I shall never be able to thank you enough or show my gratitude to the extint that I feel truely indebted to you. Thought long and hard about your wise words re my perilous situation.. I do use F5 continuously on Three Word thread and do not wish to look obsessed or like post-whore so try not to post without someone else joining in (though often it pains me not to).. Have taken some days off already so as to be able to fully devote myself to thread, though always order fresh pizza with credit card, you make a valid point re no job, no money, no fresh pizza, no care, no mind eating mould - It is an abhorrent thought, one that truely frightened the ****e out of me ~ so much so that have decided to open savings account for such an eventuality and will have spare dosh so as not to eat green&white fur mould.
    Will start novel soon too, on Microsoft Word. Will be much happier having full control of all story!!
    You're my hero Brian problem-fixer lady!
    :D Sends you platonic love bubbles, Yours now and always..
    Backtoblack :D

    (will give mention at thank you's during Nobel Award... do you think I should cry and bawl for effect?)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,165 ✭✭✭✭brianthebard


    Um no, please don't cry at the awards, those swedes are an unemotional type, they wouldn't be impressed. I'm glad to see that you are now putting some foresight into your commitment and this will no doubt hold you in good stead for several months, after which you will probably have moved onto another thread or similar shiny object type thing and all will be well in the world again.

    Sorry, I can't pretend to be cool any longer.. what does "EMO" mean?

    <<<<< Newbie! :o


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,960 ✭✭✭DarkJager


    Its too hard and depressing to explain it but heres an excerpt from Wikipedias entry on "Emo" :


    "Some definitions of emo hold that typical "emo persons" are likely to inflict self-injury, most often by means of cutting, burning, or otherwise mutilating themselves.The theme of self-injury is also common in emo poetry"

    Emo was a musical genre which first appeared in the 80s (check out Rites of Spring). It had some sort of renaissance about five years ago, (some would say a pervertion) and a subsequent fashion "movement" of sorts strung up around it based on floppy fringes,skinny jeans, cons, nhs glasses and a moapy look on your fizzog. Now the term is used to ridicule people, but is in fact just a really lazy insult at this stage, used so often and so out of context as to inspire posts like this one. :(

    Once a problem-fixer-lady, always a problem-fixer-lady. Thanks for the info! :)

    Ok right, didn't notice that fashion period, well maybe the skinny jeans but I'm a flares girl myself so I guess the Emo renaissance passed me by.. lucky me it sounds.

    ok so. I had purple flares! They were wicked.. some lycra in them, made of a soft velvet crushed material.. coolest things since my orange flares! I think I gave them to my sister then, not sure where they are now. I'm a little more conservative these days, due to expectations from work & mature society. :(
    Booo!
