Chapter 26. BALLS

[thebestseller]

Sphere, I am disappoint. I expected loads and loads of ball jokes this go round. Do I have to start listing them myself? Don't let me down.

Or are you too busy dodging the things and having swordfights on the pirate ship?

Like anything anyone says is going to STOP you from listing them.

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

I want to encourage at least an attempt at creativity first.

[man-genius.livejournal.com]

I think everyone's creativity was beaten out of them by the constant barrage of balls to the head.

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Ahh, yes, the lovely brain-breaking that results from being hit by balls.

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

No.

[after about half a minute she figures this is a bad idea and just scribbles it out, but it felt good to write.]

[books-and-toads.livejournal.com]

Bouncing balls everywhere, and nothing to be done about it. They do make wonderful slapping noises when they're not hitting you.

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

The slap against flesh has its own charm, though.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

And here I thought we'd done fairly well getting them all covered.

I suppose you better list them, then.

[live_ringer]

That's what I'd thought. The last installment was pretty thorough. Though it's a shame I managed to miss out on it.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Apparently we must be falling short somewhere.

Shame, really. You could always join now.

[live_ringer]

An inadequate performance? That just won't do.

I've been doing my level best to avoid the barrage. It helps when you have protection on you.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

It must be a result of our old age.

I'm sure it does. I told you it was a good idea, hm?

[live_ringer]

Oh, I wouldn't call it old age. Experience has to count for something, right?

I can't deny that you did.

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Gotta cover the sensitive bits of flesh from being smacked by flying balls, after all.

[live_ringer]

It's disastrous if you don't. Between bruises and possible rashes from balls that haven't been properly cleaned... well, I'd rather not think of the results of being careless about that sort of thing.

[spandexisyouth]

Crimson and Bastet have not written enough? And Book and Bell too.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

You could always help us along. Make sure we reach our quota.

[spandexisyouth]

I think I will pass. Not only do we not need more of those kind of jokes, I do not know how to make them.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Scared of a little effort and learning?

[spandexisyouth]

No. But I do not see any worth in that topic of learning.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

So you forfeit a win to me in that field.

[spandexisyouth]

What? No! It is not a challenge! I am not forfeiting anything!

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you are.

[spandexisyouth]

I am not!

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

Damn and I didn't even get a mention. I gotta work harder next time.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Clearly.

Youth likes hard work. Maybe that will get you notice in and of itself.

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

At least it's something I'd enjoy working hard on.

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

There can never be enough ball jokes.

[spandexisyouth]

Never? I am not sure of that.

[grinninggrifter.livejournal.com]

I would have thought that you would be creative enough to compensate, Writer Man.

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

I like to see everyone else's ideas. Not everyone can be great as me, but they can TRY.

[seeya-next-life.livejournal.com]

I'd say the bigger they are the harder they hit, but I'm sure someone's thought of that one already.

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, that's still a good one!
