It's a little early for Christmas jokes, but the ghost theme ties in nicely with Halloween. 

That's right! It's time for another writing competition. And since it's October, the theme is
Halloween! Write a story / poem / whatever with a suitably spooky theme and have it posted by
October 26. Any kind of scary story will do. Murder mysteries, witchy tales, unspeakable
Lovecraftian horror, unsettling happenings in a small town in Maine -- anything goes!*

Once the deadline is here, we'll vote and I'll officially announce the winner on Halloween.

I'll have trophies and candy corn ready to pass out before then. Good luck everyone!

> avoid lamp

I love hate lamp.

Whoops! 

I'll have something up tomorrow evening.

Just in time for Halloween! 



Can I take a moment to say that I love that we have a cow thread on the forums? This is how Icey must have felt on IceyDay. 

> Take lamp and search tent for a gun

You're from Texas, right?

> Take lamp, gas mask filters and then wonder that your gun is not where it's supposed to be

Darn tootin'! As a Texan, I don't get out of bed until I have cowboy hat on my head and a gun in each hand. 

> Take lamp and search tent for a gun

[U S A! U S A! U S A!]

Allow me to raise a vaguely Germanic semi-royal eyebrow in your direction, sir.

U S A!  U S A!  U S A!

And Crimson Wizard: nice AK-47, comrade! 

Nothing lame about it, Iceybooty. It's a fact of life that everyone poops. In fact, someone should write a book about that. I imagine they would get quite rich.

I apologize to any American, Scottish, English, Japanese or undead AGSers if I have offended you.

I once was very depressed, and i run into this wonderful book. It had some big bright letters on it that wrote "DON'T PANIC".

And then you discovered Barn Runner, and you life was filled with meaning.

I would just like to say that this thread is everything that is great about this little corner of the web. Everybody sharing their burdens and nobody trolling them. You stay classy, AGS Community. 

Huh.  No more cow jokes from Ponch....  C'mon man!

Not all of us are vaguely Germanic semi-royalty, Mr. Baron. Some of us have jobs, you know. 

What do you get when you take a bovine and divide its circumference by its diameter?
Cow pi.

(My apologies for bringing math into this )

Happy b-day, Peder 

And a happy belated b-day to Oliwerko. (Man, it's so easy to miss birthdays with the look of the new forums)

I love lamp. 

What do you get when you cross a cow with a belly dancer?
A milkshake. 

Looks like we're alone in the tent, so...

> Scratch self in inappropriate areas.

Just because I've got a couple of beers in me and I refuse to be typecast...

What dog loves to take bubble baths?
A shampoodle

G'night, AGS Community. Sleep tight. I'll be back for more rumpusing tomorrow. 

I have no direction in life. Nothing is fun, not even AGS (crazy huh?)

You clearly have not been playing enough Barn Runner.

I agree completely! Barn Runner is good for what ails you. 

I also agree with what the other smart AGSers (and also Baron) said: Get out there and get involved in something. Life never stops moving, so neither should you. Heck, I'm going through a really rough time myself right now. but the only way I know for certain to avoid depression is to remind myself to socialize outside of work. Going home and watching a movie with a beer is the easiest thing to do. Cleaning up and going out is more work. But it's better for me at a time like this to be around others and have something to do. I think the same thing might be good for you too.

Good luck and don't give up. 

Why don't cows jump over barb wire fences?
Because they fear an udder disaster.

How do cows know when it's time to go to sleep?
When it's pasture bedtime.
