I think we should have a lottery a la Shirley Jackson

[XemaSab]

and the winner gets banned!

Maybe that will appease the Lounge gods!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. HAVE YOU READ THAT STORY?

It is horrible! NO nonononononono........

Why, pray tell, do we need to appease the Lounge gods?

Who did what now? And to whom?


:scared: :scared: :scared:

[Skittles]

6. I just bought a book of her stuff and it includes that story

will be reading it soon!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. My dear Skittles!

Even a sturdy ass-kicker such like yourself needs to know that this story kicks some serious ass!

Prepare yourself...it is so ordinary, so normal, until the end, when you realize what these ordinary people are about to do......

I've read it a couple of times, and it still scares me!

:kick:

[XemaSab]

17. Good times.

[XemaSab]

12. Of course I've read it

It's one of my favorite stories. :D

[WhollyHeretic]

2. Does the winner get stoned and banned? Or just banned?

Who upset the lounge gods in the first place?

[XemaSab]

13. .

:smoke:

[AngryAmish]

15. Do we hold the lottery at 4:20?

[xmas74]

3. I'd rather stone them.

Seems like so much more fun than a simple banning.

[miss_american_pie]

4. Do you kick kittens for fun, Xema?

Invoking that story and all... ;)

[JitterbugPerfume]

5. That story

scared the holy she-ite out of me :evilfrown:

[yellowdogintexas]

8. hoo that took me right back to 9th grade literature....

that was one creepy story.
Skittles afteryou read that one you will want to go straight to the two novels she wrote about raising her big passle of kids:

"Life Among the Savages" and "Raising Demons"

You will roll in the floor. It will relieve the stress of "The Lottery"

Then you can read "The Haunting of HIll House", but please do what I did and choose a dark and stormy night, upstairs in an old Victorian farm house where the trees all hit the windows of the room you are in. Scared the bejeebers out of me. (Iwas about 14 at the time)

[XemaSab]

14. The Haunting of Hill House

is the scariest thing I have ever read.

[Rabrrrrrr]

9. What - no stoning? Fuck that.

I want to stone someone.

I don't even care if they've won the lottery.

I just want to stone someone.

[FuzzySlippers]

10. You should join the Dominionists.

[Rabrrrrrr]

11. Nah, they're not exclusive enough, and not up to my standards.

Stupid fucks.

I've decided that instead of stoning someone, I will instead use my anvil canon on a group of people.

[jpgray]

18. People get stoned here all the time

[WCGreen]

16. I played old man warner in the high school play...

my one stab at stardom.....

[NMMNG]

19. That is one creepy story

I can imagine the neocons using that method to weed out the "undesirables" in the current age. They wouldn't stick to one person a year though...:scared:
