TIAPOS-NWOC

Last night at Tiapos, Mississippi Motorhead added a new moniker to the TIAPOS letterhead. As most loyal Plotnikkies remember, TIAPOS is The Great Plotnik's Righters Groop. Traditionally, before anyone would read a story, they'd say something like "I've just finished this one and it's really rough" or "I don't know if this story is really worth reading" or "Geez I don't know why I'm even bothering." So one night someone brought in a sign: TIAPOS. It stands for "This is a Piece of Shit." So now, no one is allowed to apologize for their puny effort (which, like as not, is a masterpiece). All they have to say is TIAPOS and we all get it.

Usually, we make copies of our stories for everyone to follow along. But last night, Motorhead didn't bother with copies, adding: "This story is not even worthy of copies.

Ah ha! So now we've got TIAPOS-NWOC. Things just get worse and worse.
