Yup, Thats what I titled my short story. Stupid, huh? Yup thats what I think. pretty sad, strange, and depresing story too... I hope you all hate it when I finish it, that way i'll win the writing contest =D . The best part about it is the title. i'll post it on here when i'm done editing it.

I'll read it. I want to find out what the "The" is, if it is anything.

I was joking. I want to read it. The title, in fact, is very intriguing. I hope you win!

Some people read my farce of a potty training manual...and some people read my essay and observations on the Large Milkweed Bug (Oncopeltus Fasciatus). I guess that means some people will read anything.

If you don’t have freedom as a principle, you can never see a reason not to make an exception. There are constantly going to be times when for one reason or another there’s some practical convenience in making an exception.

I haven't experienced the (apparent) horrors of said romance novels, but I've read enough hearsay that I can guess how cheesy they are.

I've watched some crappy Drama/Romance movies in my time (hmm...I can't think of any offhand that weren't at least slightly comedic as well, though), so maybe I have an idea.

"cheesy" hasn't the depth to describe the experience of reading a romance novel.
It's something like being trapped in a dungeon, strapped to a bed, rats running around your feet, a gigantic pit in the middle, and a razor-sharp pendulum swinging above you.
My, that was original.

i can't even stand to look at the covers of romance novels, usually graced by a title that contains the words "desire" or "love," and an amateurish painting of a scantily clad supermodel with a barechested guy who would qualify for "mr. universe."  |

Well, considering I can't actually see it, it's hard to guess, but I'm gonna give it a shot anyway. It's a picture of Harenil (the Welman guy), isn't it? |

Yeah. The word limit for the contest is 600 and that is like 550 or something.. so, what did you think of it? Oh, yeah, and my avatar is a pic of an r2d2 action figure while looking through a scope... Why the heck did you think it could be Harenil?

When I posted, your avatar wasn't working, so I just had to guess. And since you posted on your "The..." thread I thought it might have something to do with your story. And I know that you use that Harenil pic in your sig in other forums. |

If his avatar says that he has a weak mind, what does yours say? That you have serious self-confidence issues. Either that or the other side, you have some serious pride issues.

Fun facts about Chuck Norris:
Newton's Third Law is wrong: Although it states that for each action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, there is no force equal in reaction to a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick.
Chuck Norris can divide by zero.
Chuck Norris CAN believe it's not butter.
