- Random Reality’s post an idea.
Nominated by Lyle
“It would start in Control, the calltaker would take the patient’s name and address, they would then determine if the patient has anything seriously wrong with them, like they aren’t breathing or a leg has suddenly dropped off.
The calltaker would then read out the following bit of text. “ - Bete du Jour’s post Virgin Media Sexline Scandal.
Nominated by The TELF.
“On April 9, according to the bill I received from Virgin Media dated 11 May, I spoke for 14 minutes to what I can only presume was a member of the opposite sex, employed by cruel swine to talk dirty to lonely idiots. Explicit in your accusation is the further presumption that whilst talking to this woman, I manipulated myself to emission. Or at least tried to.“ - Gordon Mclean’s Writer Blocked.
Nominated by Daisy
“Somewhere a story unfolds, an everday tale unwinds in the steamy heat. “ - Boob Pencil’s post To avoid dissapointments
Nominated by Dolly Mixed Up
“Oscar is almost certainly fine.
It all started on Tuesday night, when Felix woke in the middle of the night complaining of a painful swelling, covered in a rash, and in a lot of distress.
I’d just fallen asleep, and dreamt I’d played a stupid trick on him and made him cry.“ - What Do I Know’s post Campaign ‘08: The Dog Runs for Local Council
Nominated by Bob
“Not to be outdone, my dog has decided to throw her hat—err, collar—in the ring as well. (If you know anything about my dog, you know she pretty much lives for attention, and she sees how much attention we pay to politicians around here.)
Plus, politicians get lots of treats, and she wants a piece of that action.“ - Zombie Fights Shark’s post Levels of Fame
Nominated by Unbearable Banishment
“Not Famous - (examples: Me, you, the guy who works the sour cream gun at Taco Bell, most proctologists) Generally, it’s a pretty lousy state of being. I mean, you’ve got to actually work for a living, and that’s just for starters.“
The next Post Of The Week will be announced on Sunday evening.
Please note that nominations for next week cannot be accepted until then.

[…] A quick thanks to Daisy for nominating me for a Post of the Week award, I didn’t win but was quite surprised to see my name in the shortlist. Who knows, it might inspire me to indulge my creative side a little more often (there was a similar post later on last week too). ∞ […]
