The point of b3ta to me is not to get on the best of page
it's to tell my story when I have one, or to enjoy the writing and experiences of others.

There have been quite a few shitty questions recently, such as the procrastination one, and the humour and made up stuff gets us through those.

There were some touching stories in those too, and that is what makes it worthwhile.

edit: having had a rethink, I don't agree with the posting of urban legends and claiming them as your own. Also, as my learned colleague Mr Calthrop says, the worst of the answers tend to be the shitty one or two liners

"Nuff said!" - if you are going to write this you may as well not write anything you fucking tool!

Embellishments, or completely made up stories don't bother me, but I will concede that merely pinching something from somewhere else is to the detriment of the qotw.
