No, really, you should open another thread and ignore that one. ---

Like the taste of fame, did ya? So desperate for more you’d open up a fake thread and tell us to ignore it? How quickly the mighty fall. Tsk tsk tsk. Just for that, I will not ignore this thread. I’m going to post and post and post some more. So there! ---

If not the most mundane, this thread has certainly got to be up there among the most pointless threads ever. FYI, the reason I was starting this thread is that I had written an entry for the Bad Hemingway Competition and then found out the contest isn’t running anymore. So, I decided to post my entry here, and invite you all to throw some in. And just after hitting tthe Submit button, I realized it was better suited to CS. So if you’re interested in reading my entry and/or adding your own Bad Hemingway story, I invite you to join me in [The Bad Hemingway Competition is dead. Long live the Bad Hemingway thread.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=432414) I won’t ask you all again to ignore this here thread, 'cause I know how THAT works. 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ignore-this-please/415247.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ignore-this-please/415247.md?page=3)
