lagdonk, there are old writing threads like this. I think Busto started some.

This seems paranoid to me. She doesn't have leprosy.

Plus crash is a lawyer. He probably can handle that angle.

I was thinking like an initial sign-up phase where interested members commit to submitting a short (and I mean short) story for group feedback, and then we randomly select an order of presentation. After that, each signed-on member posts his or her story at the scheduled time (say, at five day intervals?) and then the others offer feedback.

Thoughts?

We have held similar workshops before and I would be interested in doing so again. Our last workshop focused on novels so understandably fizzled out. Nothing but filmies here. They lost interest

By his own admission, his feelings for her right now are understandably not charitable.

I have no issues with supporting people you care about who have made a mistake, but they don't have this relationship.

I just don't see what good can come from it. And I could conceivably see what bad could come from it; paranoid or not. It just seems like Crash wants to sate his curiosity.

The good comes from the acknowledgement of common humanity with a person in trouble.

That is good to me.

Impossible. If a perfect food is eaten, it will become imperfect, and a food can not be perfect if it can't be eaten.

Counselor, how would you advise your witness whose family had financial ties with the defendant?

So go. If that's the case, not likely you're going to be swayed by any comment here, no matter how rational. But I agree with Dom, I really don't see a whole lot of upside, and potential for an assload of emotional stress.

Eagerly awaiting the philosophical defense of perfect food becoming imperfect upon being eaten.

I had to put a religion down on the UK Census form yesterday. It came to me in a flash on inspiration, a Road to Damascus moment, what I really am and what I really believe in.

Oreos will be the perfect cookie as soon as they can supply their own milk. Chocolate chip ftw. (and no nuts for christ sake)

Jose Canseco did this over the weekend for a celebrity boxing event he was supposed to be in. He said that the promoter "didn't comply with his part of the agreement".

The 10 commandments of Al Bundy
1. it's ok to call hooters "knockers" and sometimes "snack trays".
2. it is wrong to be french.
3. it is ok to put all bad people in a giant meat grinder.
4. lawyers, see rule 3.
5. it is ok to drive a gas guzzler if it helps you get babes.
6. everyone should carpool... except me.
7. bring back the word "stewardesses".
8. synchronized swimming is not a sport.
9. mud wrestling is a sport.
10. ok, those are your nine commandments...

Imagine that the food that you consider perfect is resting on a plate in front of someone. Imagine that they eat it all; imagine that there's nothing left on the plate and imagine that it's all in that person's stomach. Would you still eat that food?
