I've thought long and hard, and the best I can say is: "fuck you" (669 hits)

I doubt many of you have noticed since I'm a minor uberite but I have in fact been mostly away from the site for a long time now. I lurk a bit, I've made a couple of reviews in the last month and I haven't made a submission in around a month and a half. But I think maybe I have some material now, perhaps again I can spread my vile shit all over this forum and taint it with the automatic loathing basically anything I put up receives.
But this bankruptcy of creativity was not my own doing or a lack of anything to put up here originally, the blame (or perhaps praise) can be placed solely upon iddqd.

This post destroyed my will, I wasn't intending to stop submitting but this challenge simply taunted me. I'm too proud to ever turn down a challenge and I refused to move onto anything else before I could complete this challenge. The first day I thought nothing of my inability to make something for this title, "I must just be having a block," I thought and dimissed it.
The next day again I looked at this title and literally stared at the screen for half an hour trying to figure out what I could make appropriate for this title. I write about my life, real things that have happened, and for me to write something with that title was impossible. I'm a wordy guy, I rant, I rave, I randomly sling words together to form new insults, I could not think of a single situation where the challenge title, the one used for this article, applied to me.
So I figured I could sit on it for a few days and come up with something a few days later. Day after day the prize eluded me though, everytime I thought I'd remembered something that applied I realised that it just didn't quite fit in, it wasn't right. The title began to haunt me, I even dreamt about it one night, people kept saying the words to me over and over before I finally escaped the dream.
Slowly my time spent on Ubersite dwindled, I found new forums where I could escape the challenge, pretend I hadn't failed. But still each day I'd wander back and look at the line of new submissions of Uber while I sat there broken and defeated. I then found a new job and moved city, and I stopped coming as often, maybe twice a week, quite an achievement for a net geek like myself. Despite this I couldn't stop thinking about the challenge, how could such a simple thing defeat me when I'd never failed at any reasonable challenge set to me prior to this.
But the new city and my whole life being upside down revitalised me, strengthened my resolve and made me more determined than ever to beat this, fuck iddqd and his stupid challenge, I'd win somehow.
...And there it was, the answer I'd needed all along.
iddqd, I've thought long and hard about your challenge title and the best I can say is FUCK YOU!

Heh. You know, Frangie, when I saw that title, the first thing I thought was "bet you the post he writes for that will somehow relate to me." And then it didn't. I'm almost disappointed.
Hey, you could have just half-assed the thing like I did.

You haven't been around in awhile. I've missed having someone challenge the authenticity of my vagina.
