The Portrait of Zool

Do yo mean this statement or that statement?

Love is all around you. Love is why you were born. Love is how birds fly. Love laughs at jokes. Love cries at death, then smiles sadly when it starts again... Love is how a world forms in a cold dark radiation filled vacume. Love is the universe experiencing itself. Love is a shiny quarter waiting for you on the sidewalk. Love is understanding someone elses pain after it has hurt you. Love is a smile, when you really mean it. ~Zool~ Ancient, The Pen is Mightier than the Sword.

Hmmm... Perhaps one of the easiest ways to put together such a list would be to cut and paste from one of the many AM intro sites, and then wack it down to size. After that, editing it to fit our purpose overall would be a snap. Oooooh, you just gave me a heck of an idea for the thread about the forgotten levels of the 'Rooms of the Mighty Pen Keep'... I'll be thinking about that. ~Zool~ Ancient, The Pen is Mightier than the Sword. Bard of Terra, Patron Saint of Aspiring Bards.

A women opens a jar of peanuts, and is immediately arrested for conspiring to consume a superior race. Peanuts swarm from the Jar and grab her by the wrists, ankles and hair, as another peanut removes her rights. The women detachedly wonders what her husbamd would have to say about it as she lay with her cheek pressed to the gritty film on the cool linoleum flooring. He never did like peanuts, you see.

Yes, lovely. ~Zool~ Ancient, The Pen is Mightier than the Sword. Bard of Terra, Patron Saint of Aspiring Bards. Elder than dirt, more foolish than a jester, able to trip over the smallest logic in a single step. It's... Oh, you know.

A gorilla with a tall pompadore bashes at a typewriter randomly in his cage at the zoo. Even when the typewriter turns upside down, he just smashes the bottom with his fist. Occasionally he gazes in uncomprehending awe at the the beutiful scenes and people that move just beyond the bars of his cage, and then stroll on. With a grunt he turns back to smacking his typewriter.

Translates well to the human experience. ~Zool~ Ancient, The Pen is Mightier than the Sword. Bard of Terra, Patron Saint of Aspiring Bards. Elder than dirt, more foolish than a jester, able to trip over the smallest logic in a single step. It's... Oh, you know.

She looks into the sky, and it peers down into her. They fall into each other and come out the other side as the other, their roles switched. A teenager with heavy make-up walks slowly down the street, gazing in wonder at a sky staring down at her in fright. ~Zool~

Loud slurping chewing noises overtake infinity. Huge bumbling baby hands are busy unwrapping astral bubble gum wrappers and stuffing gum into the attached infant cheeks. The primordial wad grows bigger and bigger, getting more and more difficult to chew. At the point that the lips can no long hold the spittle from the edge of the chin, the tiny tongue and jaws begin working furiously, reshaping the gooey pink stuff into the proper shape. Let there be bubble...

Darkness consumes the spirit. A brilliant jewel shines relentlessly into a sucking void... ~Zool~

Suddenly finding enlightenment, beer shot out of the nose of Billy Shears onto the Walrus, sereiously cracking up the Eggman.

The green ball floated through the void, it's surface formed with textured chia grace, trimmed to a perfect sphere by a the busy hand wielding flashing cosmic shears. Edited by: Zool47 at: 4/24/02 1:36:47 pm

A keening cloud flecked wind whipps the talonous rocky mountains that jutt from the condensing oceans as a glutinous green muck clings to the sand of a lagoon's back water.

Galaxies coalescing from primordial fire.

In the interest of perfecting our craft (Oh who am I kidding, I hope this will be fun!), I am starting a thread of 'Transitional Vignettes'. Posting is simple. This is played just like word association, but one level up. The object is to read the last post, and then write down whatever image comes to mind. When writing the new post, make the scene as brief but as detailed as possible. In this exercise, brevity is beautiful, but the more punch you can put in a scene the better. I'll start off so you get the idea. ~Zool~ Ancient, The Pen is Mightier than the Sword. Bard of Terra, Patron Saint of Aspiring Bards. Elder than dirt, more foolish than a jester, able to trip over the smallest logic in a single step. It's... Oh, you know.

Very well written too! ~Zool~ Ancient, The Pen is Mightier than the Sword. Bard of Terra, Patron Saint of Aspiring Bards. Elder than dirt, more foolish than a jester, able to trip over the smallest logic in a single step. It's... Oh, you know.

(Conversion Confusion, this is actually the third post) Clever.

Intrigueing poem. ~Zool~ Ancient, The Pen is Mightier than the Sword. Bard of Terra, Patron Saint of Aspiring Bards. Elder than dirt, more foolish than a jester, able to trip over the smallest logic in a single step. It's... Oh, you know.
