Fill-In Friday

April 24, 2008

OK – so I blew it last week! I didn’t post a Bloggers Collaboration Story. I failed. It won’t happen again. On purpose. To read the chaos that ensued last week go HERE.

Are you new? Here’s the deal. I’m gonna throw out a beginning sentence and each new commenter adds to it, one after the other. In hopes of creating an intelligible story 😐

Here are the rules. After reading through the comments, make sure to refresh the page before adding your next line to the story, so that you aren’t commenting the same time as someone else. You can add no more than 4 words at a time. Whatever! Come back and add to the mix as often as you’d like.

So think about what you want to say. Hit refresh and wait for the clear. Then post your words.

Here we go…

“The calendar was cleared, the tickets were purchased. “Honey! Pack your bags! We’re going to…

***Edit To Change Rule***

TheNorEaster Hereby abolishes the ‘4 word rule limit’.

But please show some restraint 😀

    “TheNorEaster just showed up and told everybody to stop following the 4-word-rule because last week we didn’t even get the story transcribed because there were over 3 gazillion comments so Tam never transcribed. So to save space…and make Tam’s a little easier…Can we please get rid of the 4-word comment rule? Or at least ignore it…?”

  63. April 25, 2008 11:04 am

    But where are the oreos??!

  64. April 25, 2008 11:09 am

    In the midst of the mask and farting confusion, Hilary ran off with the entire country’s stock of them!

  65. April 25, 2008 11:12 am

    She left a ransom note. If the world doesn’t vote her into office, she is KEEPING all the Oreos!

  66. April 25, 2008 11:15 am

    ((the world?))

  67. April 25, 2008 11:20 am

    That’s right. In the midst of the Oreo crisis, the United States of America, instead of declaring war, decided to allow the WORLD to vote for the next president.

  68. April 25, 2008 11:39 am

    News reports flowed in. Every nation on Earth reported their Oreos were gone.

  69. April 25, 2008 11:51 am

    But Hilary denied having any of them.

  72. April 25, 2008 12:05 pm

    Or so they thought….

  73. April 25, 2008 12:11 pm

    Because Star Jones did a report explaining the legal ramifications of a world without oreos. (she had some strange black crumbs around the corners of her mouth during this report. ??) She called on her friend Nancy Grace to cover the “who”. But who will cover the “what”, the “where”, the “when”, and the “how”?

  74. April 25, 2008 12:17 pm

    then through the door burst Rev. Jeremiah Wright, “stop!” He shouted

  75. April 25, 2008 12:20 pm

    he also had black crumbs around the corners of his mouth.

  76. April 25, 2008 12:26 pm

    It’s ok. He chewed the Oreos, but he didn’t swallow any. Phew.

    AWFUL!

    are you working on a new post? 😉

  184. April 28, 2008 7:56 am

    I am this morning. Gotta get FIF into story form. HAHA!!!

    Then I’m going Random today! Not to be confused with Commando.

    But.

    Ya never know.

    LOL!!!

    commando, huh???
    😯

  186. April 28, 2008 8:04 am

    just so you know, i’m having one of those pms days where i wanna yell at someone. not anyone in the blog world.
    or anyone that i actually know.
    but someone that sent me an email at work – and my reply wants to be: DON’T MESS WITH ME TODAY PEOPLE!!!

    i have a zit the size of morocco dead square on my chin, and the RED baseball cap i’m wearing today is NOT doing its job of distracting attention away from chin.

    this is NOT the right way to start the week.
    i’m just sayin.

    Mandy’s calling me on a kinda ‘promise’ i made her about revealing my ( well YOUR) not-so-cunning plan over on WW last week 😮

    i said i’d need to clear it with you first so – do i? or Don’ i??
