Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION The Anywhere Machine Written Word Creativity Corner

Post short things, digestible stuff from deep within your soul or that you think is funny, preferably with some kind of art to how you compose it. Say, if you have an opinion about it, don't say, "I think [blah-blah-blah]." Let us think for ourselves and/or have something to laugh about.

My first, in the following post, is squarely the latter, but you can write as seriously or light as you want. And commentary/reaction posts within the thread are encouraged and appreciated if ya feel the need, 'kay?

If you want separate threads by theme or type, let me know. I'll retitle the thread and create more that are specific. But, hey something kinda different?

Or maybe it'll suck. Who knows? Experimentation!

Edible underwear.

I assume it still exists. I remember hearing about this when I was younger. I guess my wife and I just weren't--and aren't--that adventurous?

Someone at work mention going somewhere later called Edibles, and I was like, "oh, they sell edible underwear?"

Guy goes, "what's that?" I explained, as best I could without firsthand knowledge. He looked downright disgusted and replied, after a pause, "no, they sell chewable CBD stuff."

"Oh," I replied.

I thought about it some more (to myself) later and wondered if the edible underwear tasted good at all or were simply edible in the way paper is.

Guess I'll never know.

But I wondered....if these were ever served at someone's dinner table, like, for dessert or something? Nothing sexual, just, y'know: food. "Oh," the guest exclaims in ecstacy, "just what I was hoping for!" The guest scoops it up and starts, I dunno, eating the crotch?

And then I think about my son being a culinary arts major or if this was ever a secret basket ingredient on Chopped.

I am, of course underwear if any of this has ever occurred to anyone else or if it's all just panties-y.

<shrug>

See? That was goofy, but I've another one in mind that'll be tons more serious? Match the tone if you want or be totally different, poetic, abstract, brief fiction, whatever.

If it takes off, great. If not, hey, we tried something different, right?

No links of pics of what you want us to read, though, 'kay? Copy and paste. Post the old fashioned way. But let's be consistent in our inconsistency, 'kay?

Seeya soon! (Or not?)

Oh, and if Mods think this is better for Bits, I'm cool. We can discuss and debate. Or make unilateral moves.

Or not.

I have very different criteria than most people for what makes "good" comic book writing. I can forgive plot holes and bad science and purple prose and characters not talking or behaving "realistically." I'm a simple gal with simple needs: good action sequences, a heavy helping of melodrama, the satisfaction of story beats coming together like the gears in a well-built watch, and some snappy banter that wouldn't have been out of place in a TV cartoon from the 80s.

Ironically, there is very little of that in modern comic books. Which is why I hardly read any.

As a mod, nah, leave it here. Tear that excrement up, Lardy.

I like it! and I agree, leave it here! keep going, Lardy!

What's another name for a hypochondriac?



A symptom addict.











What do you call a top-floor room full of sick people?



A symptom attic.

Self-consciousness annoys me. When the evil overlords of the mass media got ahold of the concept at the beginning of the 1990s, they renamed it "irony" and used it as an excuse to take all the fun out of pop culture. I'm not sure if pop culture has ever fully recovered.
