"Pyramid Patchouli. There was only one joker in LA sensitive to wear that scent, and I had to find out who he was."

Find your fedora and make sure the spare clips are in your pocket, because the next Writing Fun Challenge is crime.

Rules over the fold.

Since there have been exactly zero submissions for Photo Fun Challenge 5, I'm extending the deadline until Jan 10.

I was probably crazy to think anyone would get around to a PFC this time of year. So y'all enjoy your holidays, and keep an eye out for that perfect shot.

Yes, it's time for MFC XIV already. And the theme has to be Jeebusmas.

Update [2008-1-12 9:54:59 by Herring]: The closing date is now Sunday 13th. Also, notafurry has created an upload site here.

Congratulations to Herring, the winner of lucky MFC 13, the Drugs MFC. In case you missed it, listen to Herring's Wondrous Ode to Ibuprofen. You know, I had my office christmas party last night, and this morning I really, really was able to understand how great ibuprofen is. We should all sing its praises.

Herring's prize is, of course, the opportunity to host the next MFC. The onus of the ongoing cycle of music, fun, and challenge is passed to him. Woo!

I was going to do this earlier, but then I got high. bada dat dat dat dum... And thankfully nobody covered that particular song.

8 fabulous entries inside.

There's a new rule that allows meat producers to place a Grass Fed label on their beef, but there's no rules about what that means or how to enforce it.

IN FLANDERS FIELDS the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Starts: now

Deadline: Dec 10

There are lots of really good stories this time. Go read them, enjoy them, and then vote.

Ah, drugs! Where would modern music be without them? So many songs would have never been written without them... and so many artists would still be alive if it weren't for their seductive allure and fatal results.

The theme for MFC thirteen is drugs. But please note you don't have to do them to participate. Read on...
