For those topics one could describe as the forum equivalent of a twinkie. Word games, forum contests and giveaways are all the rage here.

Make a Story

Fri Apr 28, 2006 8:59 pm

Ok here's how it goes, someone (me in this case) starts a story then everyone else adds onto it, the additions should probably be limited to around 150 words per entry and no one can go twice or more in a row.

One day Josh P. Wallace was reading the morning paper when suddenly he saw a lizard run across the floor. Josh, being the effeminate man that he was, jumped on top of his chair an promptly began to squeal in fear. After nearly a half hour of watching a hole in the wall with deathly fear he decided that his curiosity was going to get the better of him. He looked into the hole and saw a potato of all things! He couldn't believe it. He decided that he would call his mother see what her wisdom was of something of this nature.

His mother told him to relax and remain calm. Meanwhile, Josh's friend, Amanda, came up behind him. Amanda, being a very manly sort of woman, was drinking a beer and burping loudly, like obviously all men do. Duh. Amanda told him to calm down and be, gasp, brave and heroic! Like all men are! Amazing. Josh pondered over this advice for a little while before deciding, sure, he should grab a beer, too, to celebrate his manhood, because again, duh, all men are alcoholics.

Hey, look! I can make incredibly sexist statements, too!

Aw, don't get so offended. It's just in the name of fun.

"I am a man!" he declared loudly holding his beer high in the air. "Sure you are, Josh." said Amanda in an unconvinced tone.

There is nothing funny about saying that it's feminine to run and hide at the first sign of creepiness. It's unnecessary, rude, and offensive.

Please see here and here.

It's one adjective, and it is apt for the description of the character whether you like it or not. If you don't like the word "effeminate" to mean weak or scared etc. I suggest you take it up with the Webster's Dictionary instead of me. I was just trying to make a fun and interesting story, not degrade females as a whole and trample them into modern slavery or any other feminist paranoid fears.
