TWO semis are up if anyone's still following that.

Do you reckon rotten (cooked) chicken meat would be juicy or dry?

30-06-2011 4:03pm

i dont want to reckon anything about rotten chicken...

Only one way to find out...

Juicy, but in the bad way.

i would say juicy in a bad way too, BUT, in saying that it depends on how it rotted. was it rotting in a dryish enviorment? could it have rotted and dried out or was it just normal/in the fridge. you could always take some raw chicken and seal it in a bag in your fridge for a week or two, if its rotting, give it a poke and see how it feels, then throw it away.

also how is it cooked? fresh, juicy (in a good way) chicken can still be cooked until it's dried out.

Speaking of cooking, I just made cookie batter. now I just have to wait a while for the batter to firm up in the fridge then those bastards are goin to the over. Mwahahaha.

Did you know you can let cookies age and it makes them taste better? yeah, i think its kinda gross too, but 3 days in the fridge to allow it all to meld together makes them nicer.

cobsie · 30-06-2011 7:50pm

i know from experience...it's juicy. and unbelievably stinky. that's what you should focus on - the ****ing god-awful smell. retch-inducing, doesn't matter who you are. rotting flesh makes you wanna puke. it's probably a fairly healthy survival mechanism, come to think of it...

pickarooney · 30-06-2011 9:54pm

Cool. Bad-juicy, crawling with maggots and stinking to high heaven was what I was aiming for. I couldn't bring myself to do the research

Antilles · 30-06-2011 10:27pm

Is this for a story, or are you planning on doing something really horrible to someone?

Just something I'm putting in place as part of the upcoming Variations on a Fear Factor.

Blush_01 · 30-06-2011 11:55pm

I like that idea. It might get a bit grubby, but it'd definitely be something a little different.

Cool, I was actually re-reading a passage earlier and thinking I needed more synonyms for 'maggot'.

03-07-2011 10:17am

i have poems stuck in my head and they wont come out :mad:

pickarooney · 03-07-2011 10:47am

Your own ones or someone else's?

03-07-2011 10:55am

Mine

they refuse to be written
Well one does; the other is getting there

FewFew · 03-07-2011 2:22pm

Wow, how jolly stubborn of them

CD. · 03-07-2011 3:36pm

Beat them into submission!

Or you could let them fester until the binding holding them become to weak and they fall out onto the page.

But both don't sound pleasant.

I sat down to write, started writing, everything is going well. Then next thing I know I'm playing with a fog-machine gun that makes pew pew noises when you fire it to make smoke rings. I am now, officially, done with everything else for the day.

Well, there's the beginning of a good autophagous zombie story.

04-07-2011 9:53am

ill shove it in with the box stories somewhere

hows the weather over there, it is hot here and i am pondering moving somewhere very cold

pickarooney · 04-07-2011 10:08am

Over here? There was a threat of rain this morning but order is restored and we're back to scorchio scorchio scorchio for the week.

We went to the annual fête de la gastronomie yesterday - a whole village converted into an open-air resturant with tastings of gourmet foods and fine wines from the top chefs and sommeliers in the area. It would have been perfect only for the live jazz. God, I hate jazz. It's a pity because I could recognise that the girl had a great voice and was really giving it socks but I just wanted to run her through with a brochette.

Welcome to the anti-jazz club, I hate it too :cool:
had the same experience at a student concert recently... girl had a good voice and all but the music was just urgh

pickarooney · 04-07-2011 10:20am

And you say that as a connoisseuse of music. See, I'm not just wrong about jazz.

04-07-2011 10:40am

Yeah it's just not nice
i did some jazzed up version of a paganini caprice for an exam one year

beat the other jazzy crap they tried making me do though
i'm not big into 20thC music, with some exceptions

wait, i think i see mad hatter coming after me with a blunt weapon... :pac:

The Mad Hatter · 04-07-2011 10:43am

I am no longer speaking to anyone in this thread.

pickarooney · 04-07-2011 10:46am

Have you two gone head to head in the arena yet? It would be like Tyson v Ali.

04-07-2011 10:47am

we sure did, on the 16th
and i have zero time for any more entries for ehm, about 4 weeks or so

Why cold? It seems pleasantly warm at the moment... though that's me in my normally chilly office, so, maybe in the sunlight I might agree.

Are we talking... old skool jazz or new stuff with time signatures that make my brain bleed?

any of it

pickarooney · 04-07-2011 3:52pm

Also any of it. I think I should hate the new-style bollocks more but I actually think Chet Baker is the devil.

The Mad Hatter · 04-07-2011 4:01pm

Goddamn novel is just not happening today. I've written 73 words in the last hour. Seventy-three!!

I'm gonna go write some short stories instead.

i spent an hour or two on a poem yesterday and managed to make the progress of crossing out words instead of adding any more :pac:
but then i did my german homework so it's all good

pickarooney · 04-07-2011 4:13pm

I wrote 3 foolscap today but I know if and when I force myself to type it up it will equate to about three lines.

Jazz.

My sister got it for me for my birthday. It also has a blue light so you can see the smoke rings better. It's some unce unce music away from being a mobile night club.

I sat down to write, nothing, so I did some editing instead, got about 14 pages done before I was distracted. I got business cards in the mail today. feel so...businessy...

as to jazz, I don't particularly care about it one way or t'other.

Blush_01 · 04-07-2011 7:28pm

Ha, just back on Twitter after months of ignoring it, and the second last post on the Irish Writers twitter page is a link to the Cinderella VOAT. From 13 months ago. Blast from the past!

The Mad Hatter · 04-07-2011 7:30pm

It must be done.

Apparently you should only believe half of what you see and even less of what you hear...

I had this image in my head of satellite phones (old school ones) being the size of a suitcase and having a small dish but can't find any photographic evidence. I seem to remember them showing up in war films a lot.

Antilles · 05-07-2011 9:20pm
