Humorous Writing : topics wanted

[alexmc]

A long time ago in a Galactic Guide Project far far away, I used to write humorous articles about things. I wrote about a pedestrian crossing over Kensington High Street (which sounded like a space invaders machine). I wrote about the Magic Roundabout (in Hemel Hempstead - not Milton Keynes or Swindon).

polyamory, slash, fanfiction, conventions, cats, tidyness, lodgers, tesco, english cooking.

polyarmoury is the science of creating mental defences against the many bad people around you. Without it you are open to the many sharp thrusts that enemies can poke you with.

Slash is the lead guitarist from the Rock Band game.

Tidyness - what Scottish people do to clean up - they chuck all their junk in the nearest Loch.

Lodger was an album by David Bowie - one of the three created in collaboration with Brian Eno in the seventies.

Tesco is the main form of government in the UK

English cooking is best done in a very slow oven. Those English are tough.

I'm curious as to what you have to say about goths. The goth subculture is one of those that overlap hugely with my social circles without me actually being part of it, and of those it's probably still the one I'm least familiar with, despite having a sweetie who is part of it.

It is possible to do it in a positive, "laugh with you, not at you" sort of way.

[alexmc]

"sites who"? "sites which"? Hmmmm.

[sashajwolf]

"sites that" :-)
