Greetings, Nashville!
I have come to throw a gauntlet at you, little region.
*Tosses a gauntlet on the floor.*
Aha! Take that! Fear the gauntlet, as Melbourne Australia prepares to crush you in a continuance of the great Script Frenzy crushing of June.
*Picks up her gauntlet.*
And now I shall be off, to throw my gauntlet at other regions. For we shall crush you all. Muahahaha.

Hey - has anyone seen my friends Talea and wonderdog?
Oh.... *ducks out of sight behind a large stack of books written by Melbourne people*
It's OK, I'll come back later!

Fear the gauntlet? I think not.
By the end of November we shall be known as Little Region, Mighty Words.

Hey Litlwhiskrs, care to tango?
And Fly, where are you? We miss your elegant taunts in our forums!

Fly is probably saving her strength, since those little taunts will add up to about the same number of words as her actual story.

Wow, some of your word counters seem broken over here. You guys should get HQ to look into fixing them for you.
Unless, of course, you haven't got any words to count here in Nashville? How sad. Melbourne is practically overflowing with words.

How cute such taunts and jeers are.
Question, what do you do when you're bouncing around the outback in a kangaroo pouch and your laptop battery dies? You can't plug them into a platypus, you know.
Of course, our word count might seem small to you, but we only count the words written by people. Wallabys, wombats, koala bears, etc, don't count. And when you throw them on a boomerang and they come back to you, you don't get to count them twice.

Oh, goodness, fly, just how much can a koala bear? There are limits you know!

Oh please, as if we haven't thought of that already. The kangaroo has quite a lot of power in its legs. To harness that energy, we put really big shoes on them that have springs on the bottom. This has a double benefit - firstly, the kangaroo can go faster and further than normal. Secondly, when the springs compress, the resistance builds and powers a little generator that we store inside the pouch itself. If you can get yourself an energy efficient laptop, it can run for as long as the kangaroo can.
And no one rides IN the pouch of the kangaroo. You ride on it's back. Honestly, the ideas you lot come up with!

LOL a green kangaroo! It will solve the energy crisis oh darn the Aussies are the lucky ones.
We will make a trebouche (sp?) and hurl Cows and Penguins and cute fluffy Bunnies at your laptop Kangaroos thus slowing them and your computer battery down but you won't be able to type anyway because you'll use your laptop as shields!
Now go away or I will sick my weregoldfish that turns into a shark that collectivly turns into a werewolf at the fullmoon. Oh that reminds me I need to look up moon phases and figure out what phase they're in so I figure out how much filler I need before the werewolf actually happens :p

ok was looking at the NaNo Q&A anyone up for the challenge?
Ok off to dream and ward off The Purple Lion and figure out how I'd explain an infected mini sharkbite I got from a goldfish to my Doctor and if I'm going to stay in Immediate Care or go to ER.

Please, feel free to laugh at our word counts.
Just remember, while you're sliding in 'roo poo, we'll be here writing away. Who says our word counts are accurate?
And, in the many hours between when you have to stop and we get to finish, you'll see us suddenly kick butt.
OUR November is an hour longer than yours. Please try not to cry.

Okay, guys.. I think we scared them away.
Now to update our word count. LOL!
Go the crows! Or not.

Nah, sorry fly, we were just busy doing some writing. Not that you guys would know about that sort of thing.
I really need to get around to updating my word count at some point. Hmm.

I'm not sure that American Elivis heads are allowed to quote Monty Python jokes at Australians.
So ... how many little words has little region written so far?
27,001 / 50,000
Nov 6, 2007 - 21 00
Well g'day to you too Bruce :p Elvis head? What the hell? Where did I mention Elvis? What sheep dip are you Australians on?
Why shouldn't Americans quote Monty Python at you? :p
The sad thing is my Australian friend is calling me tomorrow and I'm insulting her country men :( :p

What do you expect, Zig? They eat kangaroos!
that alone should tell you that they're not quite right!
go ahead, Talea... Keep making up word counts.
At least my words exist somewhere outside the realm of the fantasy you live in.
*punches talea's muse again, just in case*

Hey Fly, here's a new made up word count for you :)
And Americans quoting Monty Python just feels ... completely wrong. Shouldn't you be watching Saturday Night Live or something like that? You disowned yourselves from England, you can't have their comedy!

Oh fly, there is only one digit wrong in my current word count, I promise. Would you care to guess which digit I'm being modest about?
Of course, I'm about to go off and do some writing now, so that won't last very long. :)
