Not my story, but just something I'd like to share with the group. So, I decided to at least try a Jack Rose before I start to brainstorm on the idea for my story. I understand that the story itself can't be about alcohol and that it can't play a central roll but I thought it might be a good way to get the creative juices flowing and a story going. The problem is that Applejack, the most important ingredient, is both not very well known and very popular in Texas. Over the day, I've been to four different liquor stores in the area. Three didn't even stock the drink. Two didn't even know what the drink was. At one of the options in my immediate vicinity I got that 'This guy must be insane' look, even after I showed him the wikipedia article for the drink. Another kept confusing it for a sort of apple-flavored Jack Daniels, which I am sure doesn't exist. For the second part of this fluid paradox, the store that did have Applejack didn't have any in stock. Apparently, the Lairds brand is the only brand of Applejack sold and it has quite a following, thereby making sure that the liquor store usually was out of the drink. So, in resignation, I deigned to grab a small bottle of Calvados to use as a substitute from the recommendations of the staff. So, here I sit, sipping a concoction of French apple brandy, grenadine and lime juice in a chilled glass, hoping to get some idea of a way to make this work. Sorry, thought I'd relay my story to people who might get it. Time to get back to seeing if I can get this idea going. Maybe after another Plastic Rose.

blue squares posted:My drink is only found in Ronaeu island. The main ingredient is phosphate. Also its the smallest drink in the world. The smallest nation in the world really is a sinking island made primarily of bird poo poo. It's located between Australia and Hawaii. It has the world's fattest populace. And it had the highest GDP of all third world countries, due to the mining of phosphate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nauru Nauru's former president was also the CEO of their phosphate company. Here he is performing the novelty rap song "Fat Boys Make Me Cry." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRl5ctx-S1M Here's an episode from Australia's version of Front Line. It tells the ridiculous story of how they lost all of their money. Their government squandered a ton of it on bullshit, then their remaining assets got ripped off by a predatory finance company. Australia's former secretary treasurer was an employee at the finance company at the time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wit3P2MqFeM Nauru: The Silliest Place On The Planet.

put a link to the story in the writocracy.com archive tho, so that future generations of TDers who are reading the old threads can see the story. I leave the title, word count, and a link to the archive you can lock your own stories in the archive so that nobody can see them but you.

It's a b-AUUUUGHHHHH The mother was the first one to die. Spindly legs erupted from the vagina and dragged itself out into the world. The doctor took a step back, but slipped on blood. Baby boy leapt off the bed and did work. He held the entrails over his head like a makeshift mobile. Bodies pressed against the door in a frantic attempt at escape. Baby boy didn't care. He was happy with his new toys.

Now with PowerPunch Action! 71 words Mercedes Cybercock, badass, stomped into the dirty bar and ordered a whiskey and a big cigar. "It's a boy!," he said, slapping it down on the bar. Jim Cyberspaceman eyed it with his NanoEye. "It's a grapefruit." Cybercock reached into his pants, unhitched his CyberDick with a click and a hiss, and slapped it down on the bar. "Yeah, the tech for babies is coming in the next rev."

Benny the Snake posted:Congrats, Merc! Me and fellow goon Broken Things will be signing up for your current MercBrawl. Hope there's still time and room for a perspective pair of godparents! First, thanks, second, Benny, I set up an arraigned marriage for you so both parties can participate. Instead you come to me with someone who hasn't even written a TD entry yet. I won't take an unknown into a brawl, sorry buddy. My original offer still stands, and if you can make it happen, you can participate.

Liam Emsa posted:This is my first Thunderdome. So, I just post it in here when I"m done? A good rule is to bold the title, put in the word count then post the story, unless specified in the rules. There's lots of examples to review, but the format is mostly the same. Other than that, welcome to the 'dome.
