It's been a bit quiet here for a while. Mea culpa, the last choice of prompt didn't inspire any entries at all, so with no poll to post it kind of slipped my mind to put up a new topic as well ( Read more... )

This week we've been writing about Art.

But it doesn't even *look* like anything! by nsfinch

I'd get a Rolls Royce
Like Lady Penelope!

Whether they represent freedom, speed, status, or just a convenient way to carry your shopping, life wouldn't be life as we know it without cars. What does your car mean to you?

This week we've been writing about banks and banking.

Whose fault is it? by nsfinch
With the headline "Economy Tanks!"
We laid blame at the feet of the banks
Now all branches of government
