FLATS FRIDAY - DID YOU MISS ME?


i'm back! did you miss me? (don't lie, you did)

SPOONERISM (*7, 2 4)
When me and my friends used to log onto YOUTUBE
(back when the service was still online),
Nintendo game downloads sans disc were our shit,
And we talked about motion controls all the time.
Even today, when we’re choosing our fits,
Our old gaming pastime affects what TO YOOB:
On Connor, a Mario tee looks pretty slick,
But these Kirby crocs make me look like a rube.

CURTAILMENT (9, 5 3)
Speedrun church? I have a TEST:
Lay TESTA, pray, and—boom! You’re blessed.

COVERING SELF IN OIL (*3, 2 4)
One day at a DRY game, I had to pass time.
So I thought I’d try for a serious crime
I snuck in the locker rooms, stole all their liquor—
They sent me to jail, but I got out SLICKER.

LETTER BANK (6, 5/5, 2 3 2 *6)
I A [sic] a viral B tweet
in which two opinions compete,
though some forums claim
they had bringed it to fame
typing "C!", though achieving no feat

FLATS FURSDAY: FLATS FURSDAY


by participating in flats fursday, you hereby agree to be deemed a furry by proxy. if you were already a furry before participating in flats fursday, it cancels out and you are no longer a furry.

TRANSPOSAL (4)
I know some might find me quite boring,
But I wouldn’t watch furries scoring.
Don’t call me a prude,
I’m okay if art’s lewd.
But I’m kind of OVER re: VOREing.

LETTER BANK (6, *8, 5 1 7)
He looks for SECOND art online,
And likes what he can see.
Legoshi kissing Haru? Fine!
Just keep it, like, PG.
(Alas, that hope is not to last,
He sees one FIRST and THIRD so fast)

WORD DELETION (WHOLE = *4 *6, IN = 3, OUT = 7)
One day at the WHOLE back in one-nine-eight-three,
When Best Musical was announced,
The cast (true to species) let out a big ~IN~,
and then, OUT the audience, pounced.

LETTER BANK (8, *10, 6 4)
Once I made a TEN post
Seeking fellow EIGHT around me.
Many folks responded
(that part kinda does astound me).
We talked about our ears and tails
And all the mice we’ve chased.
We had spaghetti dinner,
With some SIX FOUR (just for taste).
I don’t think I’ll soon forget
Those happy smiles, and how.
All in all, I’d say it was
A purr-fect day. Mee-wow!

FLATS FRIDAY 5IVE: THE LETTER BANK EPISODE

you know what they say: flats today, flats only today.
flats rules!

LETTER BANK (8, *2 *6  *6)
I caved and saw those videos
my friends URGED me to watch
from RUGGED on the Internet
of cysts and zits and spots

LETTER BANK (10, 8 3 3 12)
If Twitter is a river
where information’s flowing,
It feels like I am racing BOATS
with no sure sign of slowing.
I get caught up in arguments
with users who don’t care,
with "TABOOS" in their bio
(though if true, why would they share?)

LETTER BANK (5, 3 5)
I’ve quite a story for you now,
So let me fill the page
I knew that I liked gulping fic
From quite an early age
The other kids played CATCH outside,
But I just couldn’t follow.
I spent time wishing I’d be CHAT
(It’s quite a pill to… swallow)

LETTER BANK (*4, *20)
On YouTube I’m having a blast!
The video choices are vast—
I’m quenching my thirst
to hear Usher sing “FIRST”
Then listen to He-Man sing “LAST”

LETTER BANKLESS (6, 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 *6)
I’m watching superhero ‘toons
While tending to my chicken coop.
I feed a little HOP with corn
And hear the theme song go “OH POOP.”

FLATS FRIDAY: #3



what has two thumbs and loves wordplay? THAT'S RIGHT, FLATS FRIDAY DOES, AW YEAH!!!
flats rules: [link].

LETTER BANK (8, *6 *5-*3 3 *5) The WHOS broke into some cafe, To try and grab some loot. But Guy was filming there that day— he had to save his shoot. He splashed some grease! The crooks were burned, And on that day, a lesson learned: You mess with SHOWS, you’re going down. Don’t fuck with Mr. Flavortown. TRANSPOSAL (*5, 5) Today on TUMBLR I received a message so disturbing, A friend of mine got news that a disease was in them stirring. The ailment is unknown to me, its name I haven't heard, So in reply I sent a message asking them, "What's BLURMT?" UNADULTERATED MDMA INSERTION (3-3, 5 2) After hours of work at the grind, I was ready to eat up my MIND, I referred to the 'hub For the optimal grub, And after it got here, I MINED. PASTEOVER (*1 *1 *5, *6) I made it to the bonus round: The answer will be a name. The letters blink, and instantly, I know the answer's MCLAIN. I gave no consonants or vowel, But trust me, I won't be wrong, This author's name is easy When they give you all of MILAN. LETTER BANK (26, *3 *4 5 *4 1 9 4 2 5 4 5 6 2’1 4 4 3 4 1’1 7 3 1 4 5 4 4 *6) Big Bird sings GOOD, a quizzical word To teach kids every letter. It’s just like the text I’m writing now: A flat, which goes like “BETTER.”




answers tomorrow!!

FLATS FRIDAY: ONE

flats rules: [link].

LETTER BANK LESS (9, *2 *2 *4 5)

I don't really remember

when this blog post came to be,

my memory’s the SETH, but hey!

hope you enjoy these THESE


PASTEOVER (*6)

My HALLE album has the tea

Of Sonic fans’ depravity.

See the pics and you can tell:

You ruined Sonic—what the HELL!


LETTER BANKLESS (10, 7 *5)

U.S.A.T. may have BESTED us

with their unheard-of clue,

but now I’m hooked on DEBTEES

*squirt and twist and lick* (uwu!)


PALINDROME DELETION (5)

Avant-garde stuff’s not on my THIEVES

But one song is giving me bliss.

I just unearthed a song by Cage

With almost five minutes of “THIS.”


LETTER BANK (*3, 3 3 3 3)
I’ve gone through this writer’s works,
And honestly, it’s all the same.
Would it kill that emo guy
To work in terms from shitpost fame?
Begone with gloom and “birds of yore”!
Here’s the theory I’ll assert:
I think that I’d like AUTHOR more

If he wrote stuff like “OH THAT HURT."


answers tomorrow!!
