I saw hauksdottir's post about eggcorns (see link) and thought it would be a great jumping off point for a Brian Challenge. What's a Brian, you ask? Brians "...are 50 word essays - not 49 or 51 words, they must be exactly 50 words. This takes the idea of short stories a stage further. This was the brainwave of Brian Aldiss, the well-known science fiction writer... The rules are simple, the stories must be exactly 50 words long and the title must be no more than 15 words long. From http://www.booksunderreview.com/Arts/Literature/Short_Stories/Short_Stories_35.html So the Challenge: Go to the link provided by hauksdottir (yeah, gotta go to a link to go to a link) and pick one of the eegcorns as your title, then write a Brian to match. Should be fun. jon
