Well we'd have to be talkin about one charmin motherfuckin pig. I mean he'd have to be ten times more charmin than that Arnold on Green Acres, you know what I'm sayin?

"I don't fucking believe this," said Arnold. He picked up his cell. "Larry, call Quentin Tarantino's agent, tell him to tell QT to suck my cock." He started pacing. "Unbelievable - I have plenty of personality. And I'm not filthy! Who does that asshole think he is?"

He looked around, saw that he was still unemployed, single, and living in an apartment in New Jersey, and began to cry.

It's dead in here.

I think that topics of the form "pick a random X from enormous list Y and write about it" are a bad idea.

Reasons:
1) It's boring. With a sample space as large as "any movie quote" you might as well be writing 100 words about some random thing. I like being forced to think. That yellow journalism topic? That was brilliant. Ditto for the tarot topic.
2) You lose the "ooh, I should have thought of that" feeling you get when you read the other contributers' entries.

Not knocking anyone - these are just my thoughts.
