Once there was a young woman who got lost

  • Once there was a young woman who got lost in the big city. She wandered for hours.
  • It was beginning to get much, much, darker, and decidedly much, much, warmer.
  • The further down they went the darker & warmer it got.They slowed as the passage narrowed but then it opened to a cavern where the ceiling dripped into a sulfury pool.Their thirst
  • wasn't enough to override their common sense. Not even an idiot would dring from a sulfury pool. They skipped that cavern and kept travelling further down in the hot, dark caves.
  • The cave air was thick and humid. The climb through the narrow passages left them sweating, but there was no relief. "We must be getting close to the core of the earth by now!"
  • Just then the passage opened out into an immense cavern at least a mile across. We realized the rumble we had been hearing was actually the humming of an army of marching dwarves.
  • "Ee-yo Ho! Fi FO Fum Tiddle Yo Ho!" Their chant could be heard reverberating off the limestone walls of the cave. "The dwarves -" I gasped. "They're coming!" A look of horror came
  • over Gerta the Giantess' huge face. She hated it when the dwarves visited because they always looked up her skirts and made rude comments about her choice of underwear. But this
  • was the last straw, they laid a hand on her in a very bad place. She scowled as the little menaces grew scared at her anger, crushing one under her boot. She wanted to do a
  • backflip on a pogostick. Everybody asked if she should really do it, but there was no going back now. She took the stick and jumped in the hole. We never saw her ever agian...

    So I've been using LOL wrong all this time? I always thought LOL = "laughed out loud", but now it is overvalued just like "awesome" which means "meh, ok I guess."? I propose LLOL = "literally laughed out loud" to distinguish between a run of the mill LOL and a real LOL.
