RE: "My First Date On Tinder" ... Writing Prompts Contest (Week 2) + ComedyOpen Mic #41
Outstanding hilarious entry my friend. Gracefully you've become a very nice threat to me making the road more and more uphill to try snatch you off the Court Jester prize throughout these #comedyopenmic squabbles & brawls. LoL
You undoubtedly are raising the level of competence on these contests quite a bit!! 👍
You have to be careful about putting real pictures online … there are weirdos everywhere.
Definitely not been there, not done that. But yeah, I've never used Tinder either. };p
Before long, she was a lascivious lush. Lecherous, lewd, lustful, licentious, libidinous.
Ah Come On! @quillfire. Don't be shy mate. Admit and tell us that while she was gradually transforming herself in the proud recipient of all those so many adjectives. You forgot to add that she instantly was also highly exotic, immensely voluptuous and bizarrely attractive as to become a succulent little prey before your eyes.
Cheers contender! Keep the good work!! :)
@por500bolos,
Considering the source, a high compliment indeed. Thank you.
Remember, I'm a poet ... I can't help myself. :-)
The trick is not for comics to figure out how to get a bigger piece of the pie, individually, but rather how to grow the size of the pie for everyone.
If there is one thing that is universal amongst human beings, it is their desire to laugh. To get more users streaming onto STEEM/Steemit, which is in everyone's best interest, we need a 'universal appeal' ... something that has the ability to 'go viral' off-blockchain. Humor is likely our best ticket.
Our comics, though, have a lot of competition and so they'll have to be 'extraordinary.' 'Extraordinary humor' takes a lot of effort and a lot of time to create. Indeed, it is every bit as effortful and time-consuming as writing 'great poetry.' I spend a lot of time on these posts: Writing and re-writing; editing and re-editing ... weighing every word and phrase so as to create the maximum effect. It is EXACTLY like writing a great poem: The effect, hilarity, is in the 'multitude of nuances.'
For this to occur, Whales and Orcas MUST be more supportive. Simply following ComedyOpenMic's Curation Trail would be of enormous benefit ... and with more than 0.5% of their upvote. As I opined in @old-guy-photos comment, SP upvoting capital in limited and Whales/Orcas control 85% of it. Without them, STEEM/Steemit cannot grow (or survive for that matter).
Pragmatically, this means changing the way in which they seek to generate Passive Income. Instead of delegating to bidbots and other vote-buying/selling mechanisms (and collecting interest), their SP capital MUST be repurposed to supporting Curation of Quality Content (and collecting Curation Awards). In this respect, supporting Manual Curators and/or Contest mechanisms designed to ferret out extraordinary quality ... such as @comedyopenmic, @curie, @c-squared, etc. ... is the key.

Oh! no doubt about that. Just look at my most 'serious poetry' on my blog. I can't help but always sprinkle a formidable dose of humor over all that overwhelming 'seriousness' on my posts all the time. };)
¡Holy Moly! my friend. The whole paragraph from where I've extracted this short quote is just solid gold. It actually deserves an entire post on the matter.
As for the following paragraphs and specifically on the subject of Whales and Orcas upvoting with such absurd & ludicrous percentages of VP... I've previously posted so many articles on this topic without no one having been alluded to in this regard ever, that I'm now convinced that not even a lobotomy will save them since clearly they have no 'mass' left on their pin heads as to practice so finicky surgery. };)
