Well, I’m not usually one for ‘Mix tapes’…

But I’ve just thought about putting one together…I’ve dug out my decks and here’s my list.

Track 1: “GOD” – A deeply religious track featuring chants from the Gregorian Monks
Track 2: “THIS” – An existentialist track that helps people define their place on earth
Track 3: “QUESTION” – A moving ballad about man’s insecurities
Track 4: “OF THE WEEK” – A poptastic but damning incitement into today’s media culture
Track 5: “IS” – A philosophical tune to set your foot-a-tapping and your mind-a-racing
Track 6: “FUCKING” – A raunchy, RNB masterpiece that gets right to the point
Track 7: “BOLLOCKS” – A light-hearted comedy melody with stereotypical overtones
Track 8: “AGAIN” – An inspiring…..oh fuck it, you get the idea…

For the love of sugary fuck! Are you trying to drive us away?? Mix tapes? Fucking-Mix-Fucking-Tapes?

I ask you.

See you next week.

I've been told
my friends mix tape could do with some tracks from Bernard to top it off? I'm not sure I understand, but my friend is ginger, so any help would be great really.

bacontrout...

Bernard even has the power to blind young girly lovlies from gingerism.

Yes, it's that powerful.

Don't blame me, I just stumbled across it one day...pissed in a hotel bar.

Oh, and your talent for imaginative expletive still amazes me.

Hey, come on guys...
...we had some fun last week. Now let's sit back, take a breather and let someone else play for a bit.

[Just as well actually - I've got a pig of a week coming up and not checking the QOTW board will save me about 17 man hours]

...see you all next Thursday - and thanks for all your help with Che & Therese's stories.
(Che Grimsdale Best before:, Thu 7 Feb 2008, 17:17, closed)

( chthonic, Thu 7 Feb 2008, 17:25, closed)

chthonic...

Well Excuuuuuuuuuse me!

Far be it for me to speak up (along with a veritable shitload of other people) on the quality of this week's QOTW suggestion.

Have you been reading the replies so far? Track lists and pisstakes on the subject choice for the most part.

and it's still Thursday.

Why isn't the QOTW suggestions page consulted for a change? Are we wasting our time?

B3ta is a priceless outlet for me...please don't bring it down.
( Pooflake braces for an onslaught..., Thu 7 Feb 2008, 17:38, closed)

And of course you've posted none of that sort of stuff
We do consult the suggestions list. Occasionally we find something that hasn't been done already and is worth running.

I honestly thought this subject would generate something different from the usual poo stories we all know and love. Sending people music was one of the ways I used to (attempt to) communicate with people. Clearly it wasn't everybody's, but I'm amazed by the compulsion people have to post that they don't have a story. That's not interesting. It's significantly less interesting than a story with no real content even.

Creative writing shouldn't be restricted by the subject - there are people on here who can make the phone book funny and compelling. I'm surprised Legless posted what he did, but he didn't write any crap teenage poetry that he'd admit to either, so I'm not that surprised. (...and that was a joke, btw, legless)
( chthonic, Thu 7 Feb 2008, 18:04, closed)

In Pooflake's defence
He's most certainly thinking what I'm thinking. A fair few folk have clicked "I like this" on his post. Me included.

I rather thought his pisstake quite amusing though.

The Suggestions page is surely a great guide, the "I like this!" clicky thingy there is surely a good barometer of what's likely to result in a classic QOTW?
(Bicycle Repairman "you're also a bit of a wanker", Thu 7 Feb 2008, 18:11, closed)

OK then...

"Occasionally we find something that hasn't been done already and is worth running.”

We? Or just you? Fair enough you have the power to choose, but please don’t try and justify your own (probable) particular power trip by stating that what has transpired to be an obviously unpopular QOTW idea was a collective or executive decision. You browsed the suggestions, then most likely thought ‘fuck it, I’ll put my own suggestion in’.

“Creative writing shouldn't be restricted by the subject” – then please re-iterate the point of QOTW to me again…I obviously missed it the first time. I thought subject relevance was an integral part of the QOTW, not ‘let’s all write whatever we want about whatever we want’?

Thanks for the reference to “the usual poo stories we all know and love”. Yes, I have made poo-related posts in my near 7 months on these pages. Oddly, I wrote crap teenage poetry too. Does that make me any less of a man to make my opinions on a QOTW suggestion known?

Finally, thank you for giving me something to actually think about for the last couple of minutes before I leave it for another week. Thought provocation, opinion sharing and freedom of speech is what I believe this site is all about. As you are one of the decision makers, I pray you agree.

Cheers

i had a sugary fuck once...
stupid chocolate syrup. it's not big, it's not clever, and by the end of things, it certainly wasn't big. i was just very glad that, thanks to the brilliant invention of the hollywood wax, i wasn't the one cutting it out of my crotch for the next six weeks...

Hell yeah
I like Pooflake, because he/she (sorry) wrote a reply on my post about this one, which is great. And I love it.

clicky for typing exactly what i was thinking when i read the title of the new QOTW.

Predictions that it will run to 25 pages full of randomness.

I think all the puns have already been done as well. On a Thursday ffs!!!!!

A certain age
I feel sort of left out, I was too young to appreciate tapes or romance and when CDs began to take over, the mix-tape scene began to die before I even knew what sex was.

I think you
need to admit Chthonic that the Qotw is as lame as a beggar from the bible, no one is detracting from the fact you are a good question master normally but we are all fallible and this weeks Qotw sucks the biggest load of camel cocks ever.

Have a "we shall not be moved" protest clicky in support mr flake.

I would like to thank rachelswipe
for letting me know that a sugary fuck is the one thing on my list of "Sexual Activities That I've Never Tried" that I never need to try. I am crossing it off like I crossed off the goatse.

believe me
there is nothing wondrous about it. nothing.

unless you count the initial act, "foreplay", if you will, of my ex oswald lovingly writing his OWN name on his OWN arm and licking it off HIMSELF.

i think this is the ultimate act of conceit.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Fri 8 Feb 2008, 16:07, closed)

^^^You are so right...

I would have (at the very least) had the common decency to write your name on my arm...before licking it off...

oh, hang on ...is that better or worse?

I am lazy though...and there are fewer letters in 'pooflake' than 'rachelswipe' so it would save on choco sauce...
