Stolen from girlfromsouth:

Give me 1000 comments in this entry. Or whatever, really. YOU, in particular, don't have to supply the whole 1000, but a tiny contribution would be nice. Then let me know if you post this in your journal and I'll return the favor.

Dudes, so this is your chance to spam me with anything! Pictures, lyrics, the word SPAM over and over. Feel free to tell me something about yourself, or screen your comments. Do whatever you want! It's all up to you.

Okay, so I realise 1000 is a tall number so just spam away and we'll see where we get up to. Please entertain me!

Entertain me while I tackle inability to make words come out right and try to get some of these ficathon entries done... You could tell me what strange pairings you're into, since I've been thinking lots about unconventional shipping today. Or anything. Go on.

Also contemplating a game of tag where the first person writes a drabble - 100 words or less - with a pairing and a word or requirement at the end, and the next person writes that one. Might try to instigate a game of that later tonight if the ficathoning goes badly.

ETA: Okay, the drabble tag's here, come and play.

Ok, I'm cheap and easy.

Is this to celebrate the new 100 mb limit in yahoo mail?

[mefnord.livejournal.com]

And before I shut down my computer and have breakfast I have a weird pairing for you:

Mr Gordo/Miss Kitty Fantastico

Now, that's weird.

Or: Clem/Dawn
Puppet!Angel/Mr Gordo

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

I've written Puppet!Angel/Mr.Gordo. Now if only I could find it...

[rune-vampyr.livejournal.com]

Ah. No pairing after the last Devon drabble, so here's one of my current favs... Wes/Connor. It's been an age since I wrote *anything*, so be gentle with me :)

He believes that his yearning is mostly centered upon the slim lines of Connor's body, most particularly the lengthy expanse of smooth back that glides seamlessly over welcoming, slim hips. Long, coltish legs belie the strength within and he can almost feel them wrapped around him, squeezing tightly as the boy writhes beneath him in a frenzy of passion.

Or of course, it could be that the sins of the father really do pass on from generation to generation. And Wesley knows that whilst he can never have Angel, he can have the next best thing - his wicked, lustful son.

Next up...

Xander/Connor please :)

[knotted-rose.livejournal.com]

Connor knows what this "Alex" is, though he doesn't say anything about it.

He's a hero--warrior--fighter on the side of good--even if he looks desultory with his eye patch and shaggy hair. Even if he gives a false name as he slides a long inviting look over Connor's body.

Everybody lies.

Still, Connor goes with him. Learns other things about him--how sweet his sweat tastes, how his muscles tremor with passion, how quietly he moans when he comes.

The other warriors have passed away, so after their play Connor holds Alex all night, clutching what little goodness remains in the world.

Next up: Doyle/Angel

400! ;)

40% of the way there!

Wes/Faith drabble - I'm jumping in, probably not in the right place

[disgracelands.livejournal.com]

It's late at night when she turns up at his door, soaked to the skin and shivering with unsated rage and tears.

Her and Robin have had another china-smashing, gut-wrenching row.

So he does what he always does when he hears his door bell ring at 4 in the morning and his Slayer stares back at him through the spyhole.

He ushers her in, slowly removes her clothes, takes her into his bed, pulls her unresisting body into the cradle of his arms and strokes the smooth skin of her shoulders until she falls asleep.

In the morning she leaves without saying a word.

Re: Wes/Faith drabble - I'm jumping in, probably not in the right place

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

It's *gorgeous*. Next character or pairing?

[jedi-penguin.livejournal.com]

I thought you might be amused to learn that one of the drabbles I did last night passed me over my 1,000 mark on the number of comments I've made in Live Journal. The number is popping up all over the place!

[jedi-penguin.livejournal.com]

Hey! I just posted your 500th comment to this entry. You're halfway there!

[roseveare.livejournal.com]

There is nothing in the world that could persuade me to do this meme.

*imagines talk21 email spontaneously combusting from the shock*

You are deeply insane. *shudder*

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

*g* I'm loving this meme. I'm getting to play with all sorts of people.

Poker, anyone?

[mefnord.livejournal.com]

As many many friendly people are spamming away here, I think this will be faster than googling:

Could anyone explain to me the rules of Poker, pretty please? Or does anyone have any other idea for a card game that Buffy and Spike could be playing? Together?

Re: Poker, anyone?

[flurblewig.livejournal.com]

In *very* basic terms, the object of the game is to get the highest ranking hand. The ranks go

Pair
Two Pairs
Three of a kind
Straight (all numerical order)
Flush (all same suit)
Full House(a pair and a three of a kind)
Four of a kind
Straight Flush (all same suit *and* in numerical order).

So if Spike had five Spades (a Flush) and Buffy had two Kings and three Fours (a Full House) she would win.

There are loads of different ways to actually play, but I think the most common is to deal five cards all face down, the players then bet on what they've got. They can then exchange a pre-arranged number of cards and get dealt new ones. So say if you had two Aces and nothing else, you might put back the other three in the hope that you'll get something that goes better with the Aces.

Actual betting has always seemed insanely complicated to me and I haven't a clue how it's done properly. But I'm sure Spike would choose Strip Poker anyway :-)

[ludditerobot.livejournal.com]

This seems like a pathetic, co-dependant way to get affirmation. But I love you, so it's OK.

:clings to you:

[veggiebelle.livejournal.com]

It's a little daunting to dive into the hundreds and hundreds of comments, so I'll just comment with my currently-favorite joke.

A guy walks into a bar and orders a beer. The bartender brings him his beer and a bowl of peanuts. As he drinks his beer, he hears an itty-bitty voice that says, "That's a very nice shirt, sir."

He looks around, but nobody seems to be looking at him. He shrugs, finishes his beer, and orders another. The bartender brings him his second beer, and as he starts to drink it, he hears the same voice: "I like your tie, sir."

"Who said that?" The guy looks around, confused. Nobody responds. Deciding that he's just hearing things, he finishes his second beer and orders a third. As begins to drink it, the same teeny voice says, "Your haircut makes you look very handsome, sir."

"Okay, that does it," says the man, now somewhat tipsy. He calls the bartender over. "I keep hearing this voice, and it's saying nice things, but I can't find whoever's saying this stuff. What the hell is going on? "

The bartender replies, "Oh, don't worry sir, that's just the peanuts. They're complimentary."

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

Groan... *g* Now I'm trying to think of a joke, and I can't remember a single one.

Jokes

[flurblewig.livejournal.com]

The wierd thing about my favourite joke is that I don't know what it is. I know the punchline, but not the actual joke. It's something about fairies and toadstools, and it ends up with:

"Because there's not mush-room in it."

I'm sure it'd be really funny if I knew what it was.

Re: Jokes

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

I googled for it and the only link is to your journal...

New spam!

[flurblewig.livejournal.com]

12 comments to go before 500!

New spam: favourite Buffy moments.

#1 - Giles's absolutely, amazingly, kick-ass return to take on Evil!Willow in Grave. "I'd like to test that theory." ::swoons::

Best. Entrance. Ever.

Re: New spam!

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

#2- the opening credits to Superstar

[metalphoenix.livejournal.com]

^_^;; There's no way I'm going to read all those.

My friends and I did this a long time ago, went back and forth until we reached 1000 comments. It took like three days. I suppose that's the benefit of having so many friends on your friends list, they'd all do it for you. ^_^

Here's to hoping your goal is reached soon.. =P

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

Thanks! We're on something like 500 right now. It's become something of a pointless crusade.

[gypsy-curse.livejournal.com]

Wow you're already over halfway there!! Woohooo!

*is impressed*

[zyre.livejournal.com]

Mwahahaha. The Libertines = Sex.

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

I don't know who they are, but *prettiness*

Good Night! Again!

[mefnord.livejournal.com]

I can't believe that I basically spend my whole day here...No laundry done, no studying, no cleaning.. Well, I watched a little soccer and read a little fantasy and maybe I fell asleep for a really really short time and had a shower - but other than that - I've been here.

And now I'm all sad because I'll miss the 1000th comment...

but the bed keeps calling me...

::shut up, bed::

How will you celebrate?

Re: Good Night! Again!

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Probably by collapsing into bed *g*

[http://users.livejournal.com/skylar_/]

Only about 400 to go, Baby :)!

Long time no comment, but I really do have nothing interesting to say (pathetic, I know). Although, I'm just watching some special on MTV called totally gay, where they explain why a lot of women like to watch homosexual men having sex - I wouldn't be surprised if they mention my friend list at some point :).

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

You don't have to have anything interesting to say to comment. That goes for any thread, not just this one. I like hearing from people :)

And I hope that program mentions me. Yes.

[http://users.livejournal.com/skylar_/]

Ah, forgot something and since I'm commenting anyway:

Really liked your post about the differences between british english and american english in Buffy fics - not only did I learn a lot, it also explained why some characters seem ooc without me being able to specify why.

ttfn :)

[outoftime.livejournal.com]

I think that this whole meme thing is all I did this weekend. Seriously. I did nothing else. Unless you count sleep.

Hi! Um. What would you like me to contribute?

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

Anything you like! If you want to jump into the drabble tag (there's a post further up the journal with links) that'd be great, or there was a greatest Buffy moments thread somewhere on the last page. Or rec me stuff, or quote things at me, or juggle...

:thumbs up: And great job on the drabbles!

[invaderwitch.livejournal.com]

Randomness.
I live in New Orleans. It is way too hot out.
11 comments posted so far, 9 of them drabbles.
At least it got my creative writing jumpstarted enough for me to finish part four of my story, which I will post shortly.
(-gives me half of my money for being my own pimp-)
Still trying to think of favorite Buffy moment....

[briargate.livejournal.com]

"But four young Oysters hurried up,
All eager for the treat:
Their coats were brushed, their faces washed,
Their shoes were clean and neat--
And this was odd, because, you know,
They hadn't any feet.

Four other Oysters followed them,
And yet another four;
And thick and fast they came at last,
And more, and more, and more--
All hopping through the frothy waves,
And scrambling to the shore.

The Walrus and the Carpenter
Walked on a mile or so,
And then they rested on a rock
Conveniently low:
And all the little Oysters stood
And waited in a row.

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."

For some reason I could never stand Alice, either in the books or the disney film. The Cheshire Cat, on the other hand, is something of a role model.

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

I love that poem. And the Cheshire Cat, too.

[invaderwitch.livejournal.com]

Almost 700.
14 posts, 10 drabbles, 1 fic-pimp.
This is too addictive. Must...break free!

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

Heh. It's almost 3am here, I need sleep. And yet I can't look away!

[leni-ba.livejournal.com]

700! Wow...

[inyron.livejournal.com]

*checks on this thread*

Going well, I see.
