Sign in to disble this ad
Hey guys/girls,
I was reading the flame war in DB and then last night started thinking of this story. I decided to write it up this afternoon cause i was bored. Its based on the history of talkbass, and therefore will contain the names of members on the boards. I decided to keep it short (although its nearly 5 full pages) so if your name isn't in there i apologise. So too, if you wish your name removed not a problem. If i was to include all the detail and story line it would be in excess of 20 or 30 pages typed.
Please tell me what you think, even if u think it is crap. I have included an exerpt from the story, and attached the word document to this thread. I hope you enjoy. Oh JT can u link it to the DB Off Topic? They should read it too. Oh and why wouldn't it let me upload a word document?? It looks crap and all over the place in a text document. Gard stopped by a large intricately carved door and wrapped his knuckles three times. The guard standing to attention with a large spear stared aimlessly ahead. The door opened inwards to reveal a large hall beyond. There sitting in the middle of the far wall was with out a doubt, High Lord Paul. He was dressed in blue and white robes and held a large sceptre with a gold bass clef adorned at the top. He seemed to carry immense power and the silence was deafening in his presence. That was until the giggling buffoon in silky colours bounded in to entertain the High Lord. “Not Now Eric!” boomed the High Lord; “I have a guest to attend to”. Eric the Talkbass jester sulked off with the bells on his hat jiggling ever so mournfully.

Thanks for making me a lowly trainee, merls.

Then, without saying a word, I ease my hands down the length of her body, and slowly remove her G string... |

For those that found the format hard to read, clicking on *edit* and *word wrap* fixes the problem |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2000 Location: Adelaide, South Australia | | | Ahh good to see you like it. Yes i was bored! lol Unfortunately TB wouldn't let me upload a Word document. any suggestions as to how i can overcome this?
As for not including everyone, i want to, but i just wanted to keep it short in case u guys hated it. I have more ideas planned, it is hard to have 200 cameo characters. lolol
I am obviously going to take longer on the new parts, just wish i could get the word doc up here instead of crappy text file that stuffs up my paragraphs.

Say... Mabye I could use this invisibility for evil. For good? Heck, the power to annoy?...Hmn. Naw. No one would notice.
