this should be interesting. and rather challenging too
Oh and another £5 amazon voucher prize for the winner! So keep using the group tag to keep funding the prize money!
i am shocked that no one else has commented in this thread!
We don't comment till we've written something. 200 words is a bit long for me these days!
Funny how our ever busy Mod is too busy to pop in and say hello but is the first to fumble 200 words together.
Mmmmmmm, I may be silent but it doesn't mean I am not here.

I walk the corridors of the forum with stealth.
do you hold hands and skip?
Pfft, you drink too much beer to be a ninja
Bump for visibility - 10 minutes lunch break to write one & enter folks
I have very few entries so far, get a move on people!
Struggling on this one, everything I write sounds too cliche.
I'm letting this one ferment a bit, and nothing has bubbled to the surface yet...
Me too, Rosemary. I think I need to stir the flurp around a bit!

Flurp?! No idea what that is, but now I wish the challenge was to include the word 'flurp'.
It's like slutch, or slopdosh. Muddy, gooey stuff you get in the bottom of things.I speak another language, don't I? ;)
I'd like a dictionary of this new language! So far all the words appeal to me :)For anyone still stirring the flurp, slutch or slopdosh, would it help if I said the quote in the title came from a children's book?
Probably not ;)
I'm resisting the urge to write a lecture on how the word 'unique' is so often misused, e.g. 'It's very unique!'No! It's either unique or it isn't!
It's as impossible to grade as pregnancy. You are, or you aren't! Sorry, just jumping on Jonathan's bandwagon here. Shove over chuck!

I'm sure the title could be incorporated as the start of an argument! Nothing wrong with a lecture!
Hmmm, might consider that! If I win, I'll give you 20p from my prize. ;)
Thank you. I would spend it on a freeze pop. Or put it towards some more insect repellant! Some very hungry gnats here :(
OK, finally wrote something. Entered :D
I on;y have 3 entries so far (or there abouts) only 2 days left to get an entry in!
You got mine, yes? Everyone will recognise it, so we need more entries now.
5? Out of 3,000 forumites? Come on all of you.

Have you got mine, Jud? Toiled over this one and don't want it left in some GR gutter :~/
Bump for entries. Come on guys, only 200 words. I did mine over lunch at work
OK I've done it!
I got a few more entries today but I've been sleeping a lot. Ill be posting them all tomorrow unless I've slipped into a sleeping beauty like repose and need true loves kiss to waken. If that is the case I trust that you guys will arrange for johnny depp to provide the necessary services?
Sorry I have first dibs on Johnny!
And Kohl your eyes and sharpen your cheekbones? ;)
If I knew what it meant I could have a go.
You're alright. Put down the eyeliner (or Gould that be guy liner?). I'm awake again no need for true loves kiss. Think I just flashed my bum to a bus load of people. Thanks wind! Just as well I put on ran pants this morning!
and what Vanessa Paradis for us geezers?
'Everyone has something unique. That's what makes them interesting.'
Dead line is 2 weeks from today :o) PM all entries to me!
