(6) DCUM game

Abstract: Funny back and forth with people saying a little something about themselves and OP (and others?) saying what their real problem is. Very clever responses.

This. Come back. We love your work.

Another fan here, op. I'm holding out hope that you will have a slow day at work and give us a few more some time. I hadn't read the scraggly hair thread before and reading it after the abstract was a treat.

Ps. I had to do minutes for a was sorely tempted to borrow op's style.

That would be fantastic! Make fun of your co-workers and the insanity, or boredom, that is work.

Come back OP. Forget your children and your work and other activities!

Anonymous wrote:(17) Unfair to hold a grudge?

Abstract: Devoted husband and father suffers through ten years of sexlessness before giving his wife an ultimatum: put out or I'm out. She caves. Instead of being happier in the marriage the husband remains angry and becomes more embittered by this conclusive proof of his wife's ability to perform. Posters take hard-up OP to task, insinuating that his inadequacy and laziness were to blame for the drought. He wages a vigorous self-defense, rallying other victims of sexlessness, male and female, to his cause.

Link, please!!!! I missed this one!

Your summaries are the funniest stuff I've ever read on DCUM.

OP what do you do for a living? You are hilarious. Seriously you should team up with Jeff to write a book with your abstracts and the entire threads printed out.. I would buy that book.

OP / abstracter /

Remember this thread? Isn't it time to do another?

We miss you so much you you G.D. chicco's wearer.

Haven't read them all..have you covered this one..

Mainstreaming is robbing my brilliant child of an education.

Abstract:Some poster(s) (possibly the NIH poster) goes on monthly, sometimes weekly rants about how allowing special needs kids in a mainstream classroom is robbing his or her genius of a decent education. Sometimes there is a thread on this. Sometimes, it's just brought up in another thread.

There are probably a dozen citations for this, but don't feel like looking up threads.

Abstract: OP, in trying to calculate her baby’s age for the purposes of buying clothing, reveals a bit of a math weakness. This sets off some hilarious similar math calculations and suggestions for OP to simply estimate her baby’s size by comparing her with supermarket poultry items.

Classic, hilarious. Read the thread from the beginning. It's a gift that keeps on giving.
