Story Time - One sentence at a time. There's a similar game here that goes one word at a time, but it progresses very slowly. So I figure we can really exercise our literary imaginations by creating complete sentences. I'll begin -- ------------------ Once upon a time there was a magical wizard who was walking through an enchanted forest, when suddenly a flying-saucer landed in the path ahead of him, space-aliens jumped out, strapped the wizard to a tree with space-duct-tape, and began to stuff blue M&Ms up his nose. Panicked the wizard did the first thing he could think of; he opened a tiny portal in each nostril, making it rain blue M&Ms in some remote village in Zimbabwe. Little did the villagers know, that wizard boogers have the magical property of turning those who eat them into bloodthirsty cannibals that devour their victims while performing choreographed dancing/singing numbers. Some villagers began rhythmically prancing and gleefully singing "I Feel Pretty" whilst ripping apart other villagers with blood splattering everywhere. Later, they gathered up all the nicest gooey bits and stuffed them into sausage casings, and opened up a lunch cart in Times Square. Many gathered round the lunch cart to try to samples of the sausages and remarked at how delicious they were and that they tasted like chicken. A man asked the vendor, "Are these sausages beef, pork, or chicken?" The vendor replied, "Yes." ![]() The lunch cart sold out of these delicious mixed-meat sausages so quickly that the vendor had to begin cooking up his private stash of sausages which he hoped no one would ask what kind of meat they were. This supply would soon run out, as he hadn't combed the Andes mountains for frozen Rugby players since the 1970s. He had however become quite addicted to the money that was coming in from his business venture and the little luxuries he could now afford, especially his three mistresses living in three of his apartments. Soon the city suddenly no longer had problems with homeless people sleeping in parks and doorways, which was a great thing to point to for the elected government officials come reelection time. So everybody was happy, except for the owner of the restaurant across the square, which had permanently lost its number one position on trip advisor. Meanwhile, back in the enchanted forest, the wizard was still duct-taped to the tree, and the space aliens had run out of M&Ms. The wizard found this worrisome. However being a wizard, he called for a rainbow for the aliens to eat 'skittles' instead. But to the wizard's dismay, it wasn't "eating" the Skittles that the space aliens had in mind, and they began to stuff the blue ones up his nose. Of course the wizard who believe he was the font of all knowledge was astounded to learn that this is the way the aliens did eat! As they were stuffing the candies up the Wizard's nose; no longer could he bear it so with all his wisdom and might he called upon the wind and rains to blow the tiny urchins away from his sight. Which left the wizard space-duct taped to a tree, unable to move and no one around to release him. After a few minutes there was a noise coming from the bushes. Two large Sasquatches emerged from the foliage, well known to be the favorite pets of many space-aliens. What the wizard didn't know is that Sasquatches also have a particular dislike towards wizards... but he would soon find out. ... but he was an open-minded wizard, and decided to resign to his fate and make the best of a sticky situation, seeing how his wizard powers momentarily drained from summoning the powers of wind and rain, and seeing how he was firmly fastened to the tree, he decided to think happy thoughts while humming the theme song to the musical "Cats"... although with his nostrils stuffed with Skittles he was finding this more difficult than expected. Then a green-faced, puffy pet crawled to his face and said, "Listen here bitch, we are not stupid", then immediately snatched one of the Skitiles out of his mouth, and walked away. As luck would have it, wizard boogers have the same effect on green Sasquatch as they did on Zimbabwe villagers. |
