3. This communal act of self entertainment is a willful and direct attack on the sales of video games, Yu-Gi-Oh, books, and even long distance phone calls. By revelling in this unwholesome, anti-democratic behaviour, abusers threaten the very integrity of the captialism that keeps our Universe great.

I've got ninety thousand pounds in my pyjamas,
I've got forty thousand french francs in my fridge.
I've got lost of lovely lire,
Now the Deutschemark's getting dearer,
And my dollar bills would buy the Brooklyn Bridge.

There is nothing quite as wonderful as money,
There is nothing quite as beautiful as cash.
Some people say it's folly,
But I'd rather have the lolly,
With money you can ma-ake a splash.

There is nothing quite wonderful as money,
(money,money,money,money)
There is nothing like a newly minted pound,
(money,money,money,money)
Everyone must hanker for the butchness of a banker,
It's accountancy that makes the world go round.
(round,round,round)
You can keep your Marxist ways
For it's only just a phase.
For it's money money money makes the world go round.

No, that was my I-can-be-timid-about-sharing-ideas self.

4. Two out of every 19 crimes are related to Take Turns Writing. A person on the edge should not be subjected to a false reality.

The reality is that an estimated 300 readers this year will try to cut off their own heads and put it in a jar. Because it's cool. Because they read it in a STORY. This is PLAINLY WRONG.

I find it hi-larious that many of you haven't yet realized that Tash is pulling your leg with this thread. Funny stuff.

Your presence on this Forum is an annoyance, and detracts from the high caliber of posts offered by others who can create without having to add on to someone else's posts.

Guess I had better head back to my field.......baa

5. Take turns writing has been demonstrated to encourage insectophilia (cf. State vs. Cyril Connelly).

I know he's pulling our leg. Baa.

6. It encourages people to see if they have superpowers, which leads them to jump out windows with a cape on to fly.

7. It encourages people to look for the Blue Hands, which will get them killed.

8. It may encite people to riot about why thier son/daughter/husband/wife/important person being/getting killed.

How do we know we're not in a Matrix-y state, so thereby all ready in a false reality? Maybe the story isn't really there.

Aaawwww, I really wanted to put my head in a jar!

Baa...Baa...

What are we on, 9?

9. Due to our illogical substance, androids (You know the exist) may blow up, thereby causing millions of government and private cash.
