discoveredinaljUnless anyone has snuck in while I've been posting, it appears I'm the first to post in the Discovered Out Of Context challenge. This is a tad more than a drabble - just a bit of silliness to kick off proceedings. Header info is at the bottom...
Aaaand Stretch!
“Come on, Bodie! You’re not even trying!”
“I am. It fuckin’ hurts, Ray.”
“It shouldn’t do. I stretched it first.” *sigh* “What if I do this?”
“Ow! You’ve got bony fingers!”
“Artist’s fingers.”
“Well, I seem to be the one suffering for your art here.”
“Hardly suffering, mate.”
“No? Look at me, Ray; I’m all red and sweaty.”
“Just how I like you. Let’s try another way. You push this time…”
“Nnnnnggghhhh!”
“No, it’s not gonna happen. You’d better stop now.”
“…”
“Bodie, I said stop! You’ll do yourself a mischief!”
“Eh?”
“Face it, sunshine, it’s not gonna fit. It’s a nice enough jumper, but a crew-neck would have been a better buy. You’ll never get that polo-neck over your big head, no matter how much we stretch it.”

Slash or Gen: *Cue hysterical laughter* Oh sorry, serious question. Why, slash, of course.
Archive at ProsLib/Circuit: Yes, please.
Disclaimer: They’re mine. Oh alright then, they’re not. No money has changed hands in the writing of this fic.
Notes: Written for the Discovered Out Of Context Challenge using the following quote as a prompt – ‘Gordon Bennett, they're having a phonographic orgy’ from Carry On Emmanuelle apparently. I may have gone off on a tangent, but I got the ‘out of context’ part right *g*

Virtual Swiss Roll for being the first to post...
Date: 2008-06-02 11:46 pm (UTC)Well I definitely see how it answers that quote... double entendre anyone? :D
Really like the correction from Ray about his fingers.
Thank you for writing and posting and for the giggle~ ♥ I thought I might actually have to write something. *phew*
So... lots more prompts *whistles* *flexes pokey stick*
*hugs*
Date: 2008-06-02 11:52 pm (UTC)I just thought I'd post early because I knew you'd be feeling nervous. I'm sure loads of peeps are scribbling right now. :D
Thanks for the fb. Glad to make you giggle ♥
*hugs you back*
Date: 2008-06-02 11:59 pm (UTC)*is too ladylike to point out that you have swiss roll smeared on your chin*
People have been telling me that they're writing, but it's still nice to see the first story go "live." Just 19 more prompts to go for *this* list Hambel. You did say you were giving up RL for this entire month, right? right!
I'm just so glad to see a Doyle fan admit that Bodie's head is bigger. *whistles*
Re: *hugs you back*
Date: 2008-06-03 12:04 am (UTC)The head on Bodie's shoulders is bigger than the opening for the polo-neck jumper. The size of any other heads is merely a matter for speculation and something I'm not privy to. They wouldn't answer my emails, damnit!

Date: 2008-06-03 09:18 pm (UTC)Nuh huh! You couldn't tell the difference between the lovely lads by touch? Are you sure you didn't score *more* than 36% *Wishes for my chance to demonstrate said talent*

Date: 2008-06-03 09:21 pm (UTC)Why would I care if I had one in one hand and the other in the other?
Yes, I have an 'O' level in English, thank you for asking *g*

Date: 2008-06-03 02:45 am (UTC)Sorry... I accidentally deleted a piccie and your swiss roll disappeared... so here it is again...
