Quoted from the Platform:
Dear Reader:
Prickly moral questions, matters of the heart, plans for the weekend: all have their uncertainties, open-ended issues in want of wisdom or good advice. Given desperate circumstances, a Ouija Board will suffice. Below are three quotes drawn from Chat history during last Thursday’s Word Game. Possibly, one of these will address your need. Good luck.

~E: my addictions need to glitter in the moonlight, or why bother

~E: not caring is half the battle. unfortunately, “caring beyond redemption” is the other half

~S: every time yer drunk enuff to tell someone, yer too drunk to tell someone

~xxxcometxxx: spring

tis rather dark in the earth today
said one little bulb to his brother
but i thought that i felt a sunbeam ray
we must strive and grow till we find the way and they nestled close to each other they struggled and toiled by day and by night till two little snowdrops in green and in white rose out of the darkness and into the light then softly kissed one another

Prewritten: jinx, pyramid

~Greymane: Forgotten

Secrets held in ancient chambers deep beneath the sand
Whisper soft on desert winds too cold to understand
Doors to treasured mysteries wrapped tight in cryptic jinx
Lie sleeping in the silent ground beneath the mighty sphinx
Long forgotten knowledge waits in passages below
The shadows of the pyramids hide things we’ll never know

~

~BarTalk: Dial Death, not-a-ku

~~

Impromptu: ace, vent

~Piffin: ku

Lead vented Sopwith
Becker holes in my canvas
I’ll never make ace

~

~Greymane: Impromptu

Mona was a recluse but she never lost a game
She’d leave ’em broke an owin’ more, afraid to say her name
From far and wide the comers came but not a comer went
She’d defeat them then she’d eat them in her web inside the vent
The legend grew but they all knew her prosperous disgrace
Eight eyes and arms and eight silk sleeves to hide the winning ace

~

~BarTalk: Maties
