[AnUltimateRessie]

Why specifically Sunday? Why not Friday? Are you going soft on us now that you're relevant?

[Reginald Perrin]

No, a smelt is a small carnivorous mammal like a stoat

Whoever smelt it, dealt it.

Brayden existed in a perpetual twilight. Not of the day, but of the soul. The lines on his face, etched deeper than his years warranted, were a map of a past he desperately wished to forget. Every sunrise was a cruel reminder, a searing light on a landscape of horrors. Sleep, a fragile refuge, was haunted by fragmented memories - whispers in a dead language, the metallic tang of blood, the sensation of cold steel scraping bone.

He lived a solitary life, a ghost in a bustling city. The cacophony of human interaction was a white noise that couldn't drown out the screams locked in his head. He worked at a menial job, his hands, once nimble and strong, now moved with a dull efficiency. His apartment was a spartan cell, devoid of anything personal. No photographs, no trinkets, nothing to anchor him to a life he no longer re```cognized.

One day, a stray cat found its way to his windowsill, a scrawny, tattered creature with eyes that mirrored his own haunted depths. Brayden, hesitant at first, found himself drawn to its vulnerability. He started leaving out scraps of food, the first flicker of warmth in his desolate existence. The cat, cautious at first, eventually ventured in, the silence broken by its soft purr. He named it Shadow, a fitting companion for a man who lived in the perpetual darkness of his memories.

One evening, as Brayden sat hunched over, a tremor ran through him. A single word, spoken in that dead language, ripped through the years, shattering the fragile dam of his sanity. He doubled over, a guttural moan escaping his lips. Shadow, sensing his distress, nudged his hand, a silent plea for comfort.

In that moment, staring into the cat's unwavering gaze, a horrifying truth dawned on Brayden. Death, the sweet oblivion he craved, wouldn't erase the scars. It would only leave Shadow alone, another victim of his cursed existence.

A new resolve hardened his gaze. He couldn't forget, not entirely. But he could choose to exist for something more than just his own suffering. He would learn to live with the darkness, not surrender to it. He would protect the fragile light that had found him in the stray cat's purr.

The path wouldn't be easy. Every day would be a battle against the demons of his past. But for the first time in years, Brayden faced the dawn with a sliver of newfound hope. He would carry the weight of his past, but he wouldn't let it crush him. He would exist, not just survive, for the sake of the small creature who had dared to offer him a sliver of warmth in the desolate wasteland of his soul.

Didn't realise they had a stalker at the Warriors. Hope Brayden locks his windows every night...

No, a smelt is a small carnivorous mammal like a stoat

A stoat = stubborn goat

A smelt is a melt so small, that it is often mistaken for just being in a bad mood.

 

[BFew]

On the subject of bad moods.

Once upon a time ... what it will take for the Warriors to win this weekend.

 

[Dinsdale]

I think it's a rule of the universe that there must always be at least 1 screaming baby on every aircraft

We dream of simpler things.

If it keeps happening to you then maybe you are the screaming baby?

I hear le Simpson (otherwise known as Mr Simpleson) is looking to forge a new identity, back to basics and a simpler equation next year.

You need Thruppence for his thoughts

 

[BFew]

The Best thing about having Simpson on your team, is the free Hungry Jacks.

Bonus points if you can positively ID the beach in the background of the below.

I'd like to see a montage of people in adverts like this who pretend to bite and chew their food then finish with a sh*t eating grin when they're realise they're getting paid to act as badly as they are. FootyGuy13 does such a thing exist?

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

My thoughts?

1. Average Hamburgers > Daylight > Hungry Jacks > Not Foods > maccas

2. The inner Norf of the Simpson Chappy is beyond blatantly latent.

3. It is disturbing that a number of posters are failing to observe the new rule introduced by hero admin Elton Johns Wig . The rule is clear - every Wednesday is Simpson free day. There is to be no references, avatars, gifs etc to Simpsons of any kind. *


Tonga Bob please donate my sixpence to Dinsdale GoFundMe a sentient liver

My thoughts?

1. Average Hamburgers > Daylight > Hungry Jacks > Not Foods > maccas

Accurate ranking is accurate.

2. The inner Norf of the Simpson Chappy is beyond blatantly latent.

I shall reserve judgement on Norf until after 5pm tomorrow.

3. It is disturbing that a number of posters are failing to observe the new rule introduced by hero admin Elton Johns Wig . The rule is clear - every Wednesday is Simpson free day. There is to be no references, avatars, gifs etc to Simpsons of any kind. *

Dinsdale has your book been translated into Etruscan?

He'll spend it on booze & hookers, and waste the rest.

* Cubs2Lions is on his last warning before his account is fired into the sun.

He had a good run.

 

[Dinsdale]

@Dinsdale has your book been translated into Etruscan?

No, I've only just finished the Swahili version.

 

[Tonga Bob]

No, I've only just finished the Swahili version.

* approving clicky noises *

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

No, I've only just finished the Swahili version.

Hello. I thought you might like a tough and smart liver. The new ones have interesting powers including the power to hypnotise bar staff to give you pints but charge you for a glass.
