fill-in-friday – renewed! just a tad
2008 August 8
FILL IN FRIDAY
i’m switching up FIF around here. just a bit tho. we’re still gonna write a story together. i’ll give you a starter sentence as usual and the next commenter will continue on and add to the story using no more than five words. please, please remember to refresh the page before you submit your comment. often times while we’re thinking of what to say someone else has already submitted a thought. not that-that makes it any more confusing 
so. i guess the only thing i’m really changing is that on saturdays i will post a video of me reading our little community story. lord help me. i reserve the right to refuse anyones submission (you know who you are) 
be nice!
here we go…
if only she’d lift the…
lid on the old dusty
[hi mark!!!]
tin can, she might discover
that her suspicions were right.
or were they? just then
the stupid dog ran out
in front of the weiner mobile
brakes were squeeling, and wienees
were flying through the air
mustard, ketchup, onions, relish, buns
she said. “Zephania come back
just the Rosellenania Vanderhoffenburer interupted
“that dog is not going
singing leeland’s song about Mephibosheth
“Exuse me, he said,”my bologna
and wienes without beanies”
just won’t work unless
Mephibosheth, Rosslenania get to share with Zephania
also. Ammishad must find the package of
Oreos hidden in the
Weiner mobile headed for the valley of
the dolls. (Creepy music) Then,
Rosellenania screamed! (loud scream) “oh no – here comes
that preacher with the old
little lady from the land of
green leisure suit and combover
{suits…combovers would work}
The little old lady’s comb over
flapped like Tam’s lips
but was so much more
Limp like a dead fish
Tam looked at the lady’s
hideous muumuu and quietly murmured,
“Sweet pickles, I need a
webcam so i can put
this on you tube!
then everyone will know that
rugged baby buggy bumpers are
bumpy, blue, baggy and beautiful
back in style, so lets
and from another time dimension
(@HW~sorry, i refreshed i promise!)
but since my horse prefers
llamas, Madonna became agitated. Meanwhile,
as the Paparazzi chased Brett into his truck as he left Madonna’s apartment
singing “Like a Virgin”
in spanish, “Como una Virgen”
[comments 12, 14, 19, 46....NOT funny.]
muttering, kabbalah? perhaps I will give that a try
said Brent as he changed into
a dress, leggins and heels
[hmmm...so after comment #50 (thanks girl!) i just may have brent in costume for this]
“they make me feel….. special”
don’t lie I look good
and i learned lots at summit!
This is what we learned
crossdress dancing in pink leggins
are as fun as..
belly dancing in
in a wetsuit with a
wedgy!
[i can't wait for this video!!!]
That’s when he turned to Tam…
in her wetsuit
and said in disbelief…
are you thinking what i’m thinking?
[this is going to be funny to watch you read. Have you considered a joint reading with you and inWorship?]
“Shall we?” she said. So they…
[no. im considering fleeing the country!]
realized the zippers on the wet suits go in back!
Then traded the suits in.
[phew! thanks Shane!!!]
for thongs, flipflops that is
unfortunately, her’s was no ordinary web suit, is that you muse?

No it is I Issachar, I have
never seen such amazing
shades of blue. except for
the guys’ eyes from Jiffylube
who became nervous when she
asked him if he ‘blogged’…
he thought blogging was some
hip term for skating boarding with your dog
to altoona or kalamazoo
which btw arent even
flourescent magenta, but
if you get a map
and hit a fly
acknowledged as being anything close
{ Hola people:)..}
{oKAY, i realize I have a slow computer, but SLOW down people}
you might just score a
[ thx]
trip to Berekiah’s house in
[you think youre funny dont ya carl???]
a bag of doritos and
(
I have 1 chronicles Open… 
)
you may just meet the woodchucks
who would chuck chuck wood
[ big names make it interesting...although, i feel like i am reading some foreign novel]
if then knew how much
cologne that guy put on
(^^^^^ They sorry)
Most of the cologne was
from the land of
Terebithia and reeked of sundry
earth worms, that were raised
(105, 95 more to 200…Come on people we can do this. 200 )
better than that. From deep
['that were raised 'better than that'" - hahahahaha!]
[no,no,no...200 submissions not needed carl. really. pwomise
]
within the bowels of the IHOP kitchen where they sat, smoking, relaxing after the lunch rush
under the no smoking sign
It was Brent in his
tapping cigarette ashes into the
(girlfriend did you diss me? no link love anymore? )
the windows began to rattle
oh no tornado trina is
going down to the..
Cali coast to get
[darla - ya know, when i re-did the FIF post i forgot that. it was almost 2 a.m. dang. i'll fix it next time. I LOVE YOU!!!]
Slim jims with cheese AND
Peppers picked by Peter Piper
pork rinds with hot sauce
the hot sauce
really makes trina..
toot. But not a much as
[haha]
Brent in his pink
Cadillac from Mary Kay sales
sun dress, with matching
(Switch Jim and I and it works.)
Brent drove the caddie to
his ballet lessons that never
taught him much because
(Tam you do know you are helping get to 200 don’t you….
Come on every one 80 more to make up for the side comments)
,well, he’s missing a leg.
[haha! you are soooo ornery!]
and the teacher insisted he wear pink tights, and with one size 14 foot, could never find ballet shoe to fit
but oh could he twirl!
he used to twirl
tam in the air and
His spaghetti on a fork
And it slipped off!
that would explain his fear
But thankfully the Spaghetti was safe…however tam was hurt in the fall.
But by spring she was fine
and ready to twirl Brent
as like a top at the fair
[brent! 5 words. five. words. i can see goin over 1 or 2, we all do that. but you went over 8 dear. eight.]
[i mean. hey sweety. miss you. cant wait til youre home from the summit
]
[Ya...I know...I talk a lot. Miss you too! Be home by midnight tonight!!!!]
or a whirling dervish with…
[what the heck is a 'dervish'?!]
a too tight turban, plus
a midnight rendevous with
the midget clogging team from
the willy wonka chocolate factory.
oompa loompa doopity doo said
“Hey look it is our cousin, the
Mephibosheth, Nebuchadnezzar, Hananiah, and Fred
lookalikes
with a telefunkin u47 for Brent
(Ha that wasn’t me…But good ones.)
[see carl, youre a bad influence. very bad. jim2 dont conform...reform
]
“prestidigitation” Brent declared that is the
(60 More people come on keep it rolling.)
strangest thing I ever heard
and getting stranger by the moment!
if you could see it in color,
[what is the story about again???]
(I was blogg jacked… Come on everyone…. 50 more…
Love ya Tam)
You would notice Tam was wearing
a purple smock, with green
gummy worms stuck to it
The gummy worms were left over from
the spaghetti from brents fork…
and gooey, stinky shoes
(courtesy of LittleMissMary)
[perfect mary! just perfect!
]
Brent took the shoes to the
Goodwill. Where they will be turned into
Steve Harvey Mustaches that smell like feet.
giant furniture
(DING DONG…sawry)
[is ok mandy - i'll swap 181 and 180]
The mustaches and furniture will be used in a production of
[carl - rule breaker]
(No worse then Brent)
Shoe Grease lightning
The 3 Madi staring Gaspar, Melchior and Balthasar,
(Magi not Madi)
they will sing and dance and play
carls funeral song!
He chose Purple Rain because
raspberry beret would just be weird. Just then
, on Alphabet Street, Tam ran
the hearse pulled up with
(193.. WOW…I think we can make 300 tonight…
)
fifty one legged gnomes partied like
[carl, you are SO pushin it buddy! remember, i decide when the end of the story is
]
(Have you fully read the whole thing through yet?)
it’s 1999
[no carl, im ascared
]
bottles of beer on the
wall, one fell down…
[thats not right. its 'took one down". shoot darn!]
and landed on Tam
sorry said Tam I am
I’d rather have a mojito
as she foamed around
the yard. Tam decided it was time to
sing a new song about
the tiny hole in the bathroom
that creeps her out every
It went like this. There is a
time sits on her heavenly throne
((okay that messed up))
[uh-oh - we have submission pile up on aisle 9]
((clean up!!)) ((love ya Tam))
the throne of love sat time, love
she wonders if
she will ever know
if there is a little family living
in the hole in the bottom of
the glass mirror
she wondered if they were big as
this story is getting
. tired of peeing in fear…
Great gobblely gooks, we made it to
the middle of nowhere, and
out of the blue appeared
the most shocking
unbelieveable
fantastic
thimble sized people .. smiling
invisable
smiles
as she
wondered what in the world has she
put this story to sleep.
after a few days of spackiling
(Sleep Sleep.. No I still have to fit in the Gettysburg Address, and odd movie quotes..
)
((DO it CK!!))
Tam wondered, if only she’d lift the
toilet seat, would she find
the one thing that could
be the perfect gift for
her bbq guests on Friday
Tootsie Rolls! thats it!
only for a penny
for her 249 guests
or was it 250?
I hinktay it asway wofifitytay

Not usually sure, but always

(( that was totally retarded))
IYou know thos californians, tam said
(hahahahahahhaha)
“never know what they will do
(they can’t type worth beans
)
For a whopping $ 2.50 she bought
chocolate double stuff, ya know
tootsie roll filled
me up and I had
seen several gypsies meandering slowly
a gigantic burrito with hot sauce
and Mandy riding a platypus
who has a cold
so tam had to goto the store
(HAHAHA… I was logged in as Brian working on the header for his blog… OOPS)
for some
bengay to rub on
the purple elephant who needed
a leg rub was rather
to remember the five-word limit
( thats okay ck- the first praise365 was me on his pc)
[Shoot!!! Darn!!! Dang!!!]
comfortable and fun and refreshing
as we approached the 300
(Nor- i think he was rather trying to remember the five word limit, and then said shoot darn dang..and that is very funny)
Fill-In-Friday comment mark, but his
leg was still
[Darla: I got that from Tam, when she mistakenly got the 1,000th comment on Alece's blog during the puppy competition!
]
numb from Mandy falling into
[By the way, Darla, I love your new avatar/photo/thingy. Looks good.]
a pit filled with

false passports so Tam could
flee the country safely after
marshmallows ,oreos, and nuts
[You're welcome!
