If you're a Bowie fan, check this download out.

I've only listened to Five Years so far, but it's pretty bitchin'.

Also, geez guys, I am sorry I haven't...produced anything of value! It's been over a week since any writing has happened (except for stupid fake-celebrity jokes on Twitter, which obviously doesn't count as writing). I need to reboot like mad.

First three comments with a prompt get a 200-ish word drabble? I'll respond with whatever comes to mind. Come on, yo. Hit me!

*dances to future!Bowie*

Maybe... Steve Rogers, Tony Stark, "How did you do that?"

Please?

(I can't believe I forgot to say please! I'm sorry!)

LOL that's OK. It's fine to demand. I demanded prompts pretty brusquely too!

<><><>

"No, seriously, how did you do that?"

Tony Stark blew an elitist puff of breath through his nose and leaned even more over Steve Roger's shoulder. "Watch closely this time," he commanded.

Tony had a lot of good qualities, Steve reminded himself.

"You have to right click," Iron Man's alter ego stressed, jerking the mouse around on the smooth wooden desk. "Then click Save As."

"I did do that," Steve protested.

Tony was often understanding when it came to Steve's minor misunderstandings with modern life. He could be very gentle in his suggestions for how Steve should shake hands with women, at what height Steve should wear his pants, or what kind of loofah to buy. (He even explained what the heck a loofah was.)

"No," Tony drawled. "Because if you had, then you'd understand this already."

But Tony Stark always, ALWAYS lost his patience when trying to explain technology. He would try to be helpful and informative, but he would either become too detailed and accuse Steve of eyes-glazing-over boredom, or he'd skim too quickly over processes that were, to Steve, not second nature. Heck, not third or fifth nature.

Saving files to a hard drive? One of those alien things he was still getting used to.

"You're saving them in the temp folders. You need to choose another folder, you understand?"

Steve cradled his chin in his hands, frowning at Tony's reflection in the monitor, too close behind him.

"Yes," Steve lied. He glared at the mouse, which was still seized in Tony's hand, and wished he would be allowed to take control of it again.

Tony weighed his answer before sighing heavily. "Move," he intoned, pushing at Steve's powerful shoulder.

Steve rolled his eyes and relinquished the office chair to Tony, who set to work like a pro.

Hehehe, this is fantastic! I especially like Tony being patient with everything but technology, mainly because I can really see that happening!

Thank you very much!

I HAVE NO OPINION BUT SOMETIMES WRITERS HAVE TO FAKE IT, OK?

<><><>

"It is."

"It's NOT."

"Always will be."

"They said the same thing about Vaudeville." House took a swig of his beer, a girly IPA that Wilson had brought over in one of those organic six-packs.

On the TV screen, Groundskeeper Willy chased Bart across a field in a riding lawn mower. Wilson chuckled.

"You can't tell me it's not classic."

"Sure. It's classic. Like the Ford Pinto was a classic."

Wilson tossed a pretzel in his mouth and spoke through his chewing. "You're comparing one of the finest animated comedy shows in history to an exploding car?"

"The Pinto ruined American car-making like this ruined television." House nodded at Homer, who was busy guzzling doughnuts.

"Are you kidding? This paved the way for Futurama, Family Guy, South Park..." Wilson counted off on his fingers.

"And American Dad."

Wilson paused. Chewed thoughtfully on another pretzel.

"Good point. What's on ABC?"

"We can still catch the last half of Lost," House said, already reaching for the remote.

OUCH. OKAY.

<><><>

Bertie Wooster looked up at his valet with glittering, bright, appreciative and somewhat awestruck eyes. Suffice to say, wide.

'Are you being rather more serious than not, Jeeves?' he asked. 'I mean to say, when you indicate that "anything goes", do you really mean anything-anything or just a bit of anything?'

Jeeves, who was for all intents and purposes naked under the mussed and twisty bedclothes in the Wooster bed, gestured magnanimously with one bare arm that was not wrapped round his beloved master. 'I did intend to convey the usual meaning of the word, sir.'

Bertie clamoured onto his valet's lap, where he wriggled like an excited pet ready for a fine afternoon walk. 'So if I wanted to, say, nibble a bit of that delectable and delicious ear of yours, you would not be averse?'

'No, sir, that would be perfectly satisfactory.'

'And if I wished to perhaps tickle your ribs with my eyelashes?' Bertie batted said lashes, which were fairly long and lustrous for a cove.

'I would be quite amenable, sir.'

'And if I desired to go, well, that is to say, a bit lower?' Bertie dropped his gaze to Jeeves' chest and pinked coyly round the cheeks. 'Maybe lick somewhere that's not supposed to be licked? Like you did last night before your fingers--'

Strong, square hands captured Bertie's nervously shifting hips, and a glimmer of an iota of a fleeting moment of a smile crossed Jeeves' lips.

'I believe, sir, I must insist at this juncture that you endeavour to do so posthaste.'

'Right ho, then.' And Bertie dove under the covers like an Olympian eel.

I read the subject at first as 'Brownie Remixes' and I thought it was a recipe. I'm so hungry I can't think straight anymore! But... er... Bowie remixed are good, too. *scampers off*

AH all those ficlets were entirely fantastic. I esp liked the Jooster.

I was wondering if you'd ever seen Peter Serafinowicz (UK comedian) take the mick out of Jeremy Clarkson? I finally got round to watching his Christmas special show lurking on my hard drive recorder a couple of days ago and found it included a splendid sketch of Clarkson and his life partner Raul :) It starts about 2.30 in here.

Oh sweet, I love it when someone takes the mick out of fake!me. Fake!me is a total jerk sometimes. Apparently fake!I said something scathing about blind folks. I should really be allowed to just take over all future Clarkson statements; I think I'm doing a much better job, right?
