fill in friday “a community story”
it’s baaaaaa’ack! ok. so last weeks fill in friday was a HUGE success and a blast! YOU all made it so much fun! thank you for being a part of this community story – this is your baby!
to help FIF run a bit smoother i wanted to post a few “rules”. yes. i said rules. i know none of you are accustomed to rules here at inProgress – but i do think you will appreciate this effort ;
1-FIF will now have a 300 comment limit. not that there will be that many. but this will help keep the video at an acceptable length of time
2-the last commenter will be asked to start out the next weeks fill in friday story. of course you can decline. but please don’t 😦
3-each comment should be no less than 3 words and no more than 5 words
4-dont forget to refresh the page before you submit your comment just in case someone has beat you to it
that’s not so bad. easy rules to follow, eh?
i will post the video on the monday following FIF. this will give NorEaster time to edit the story. yes, my dear friend Nor has offered to edit these weekly! how incredibly generous is that?!! tell him thanks!!!
and i cannot fail to mention some of the other brain work behind FIF “a community story”… the Princess pretty much started this idea a while back. yah. she’s pretty incredible too!
let’s build a story…one comment at a time
here we go…
it was hotter than usual…
inProgress 
and the sweat was running
into his eyes. It felt
like burning embers from a
long lost love back in
[ thanks for going all deep LOL]
the old town where he
used to deliver milk.
Those days, it was hard
to remember the last time
he wanted anything more than
to hold her in
a fragile embrace that seemed
like a scene out of
Casablanca when his girl
[ Let’s see how long this little romantic story lasts lol. Remember Tam has to read it aloud :)..Love that!]
“girlfriend” turns in the Rain to gaze
(Sorry when I think his girl, I think daughter… and if we are going romantic… Well… )
at his finely tuned muscular
body, then her sweaty palms reached
his tear stained eyes
as her eyes were filled too
her bottom lip quivered in angst
thinking “what will my…
man Tom Cruise think when
[holy crap! Since when did Fill In Friday turn into a Harlequin romance novel! Hear that sound? It’s the sound of all your guy readers running for the woods!]
I tell him that I’m
protesting scientology next week at
the Southpark Studios
together with some guys from
[Pause]
hehehehehe… romance story? hehehehehehe!
[Play]
the show “Heroes” which is
over-rated. So he decided
to turn on Lost instead. However
he had a hard time
getting the remote away from
the guy he found over
at the County Fair soundbooth
They struggled, using karate to
show off in front of…
Brooke Hogan who was
silent. Meanwhile, she blushed and
drawled, “Beware the Jabberwock”
she said jumping into the
rabbit hole
with Alice Cooper
and his band of merry
go round operators
(LOL.. Mandy)
They were set to perform a
pas de deux with
(do you know french Tam?)
crunchy crullers in each hand
perkily pirouetting en pointe, and
finishing with a pas de chat
” It’s all greek to me.”
BUT……….that did not happen
waking up from a concussion
[well this is the most o unique FIF yet!!! – is it making sense or have i lost my mind???]
is better than a poke
in the butt with
red hot scissors
[ you were saying Tam? LOL]
from walmarts school supply section
[yah. didnt last long 😀 ]
that branded the name
[ ooooh mine still works anyway..I’m so creative]
Zebadiah
all the way across
his forehead, along with
marzipan jelly. suddenly
he had a craving…
as opposed to a carving
for brocolli and cheddar smores’
Mongolian Beef, Trix and canteloupe
with a creamy alfredo sauce
It was a filling romantic
snack before his long day of
snorkeling with their pet
asked for grey poupon from
that old guy
[ dude, i totally refreshed]
the couple at the kmart
[Refresh is lagging. Post pile up isle 73-77]
[Switch Ange’s 75 and 76 and it works]

[ LOL we’ve overloaded WordPress YAY!!! I wonder if it will self-destruct..]
wanted to buy a new
photoalbum as a gift for
their twitter litter that was
flittering away because they
missed David Jeremiah, Ravi Zacharias

[and family…i wont be around much today…we’re having a group of friends from Twitter over for a bbq tonight…so i’ll be away a lot. have fun! play nice! oh my dear im ascared 😯 ]
butler, in the parlor, with
curly hair full of purple
pinecones, watching ufc while wearing
Crocs with mismatched Jibbitz
green overalls. His hair was
on the shower wall
In the shape of a goose
that he cooked and ate
It wasn’t until midnight
blue became her favorite color
that she notice the color of
Michael Jackson’s new nose…
money was in fact green
was running money, so he
blew it all on you
and ran in shame.
Just 5 minutes later, she
came upon a jabberwocky billowing smoke
toward the flying castle of
the count of Monte Christo
Cristo? Cristo es mi salvador!
He cried as he
held the door open to
allow plenty of room for
lions, tigers and bears, oh…
[had a second to check in…i think im officially lost]
that reminds me, whatever happened
to JR? who killed him?
anyway, back to the story.
Those lions, tigers, and bears…
went down the yellow brick road
, fell through a hole and
are all still playing ball
in Detroit, Cincinatti and Chicago

COSTCO

[ yes carl… i keep sneaking back to my ‘puter tho. checkin in on the kids, ya know. ]
, but the gooder deal was
2 for 1 boxes of
oreo flavored broccoli, with
one potatoe two potatoe three
suddenly a tornado came through
and snatched the boxes. So
flew everyone to Bad’s house
[146…Come on 300 should be easy]
At Bad’s house everyone
played Trivial Pursuit with
uno cards. What they didn’t
plan on was the invasion

[scratch 152]
of Bobo the clown. Bobo
looked a lot like
Tam when he dressed in drag
With that Brent got

[He decided]
[Thanks for the editing qualifiers, Carl! Makes my job SO MUCH easier! 😉 ]
Nor made it to the party,
and started to
and started singing
Dearly beloved, we are gathered
here today, 2 get through this
here today to pay tribute
thing called life, electric thing
{Shoot~!!! DARN!! DANG!!!}
And tha’ts a might long time
the word life, it means

[Insert rest of Lyrics here ]
Electric word life
It means forever and that’s a mighty long time
But I’m here 2 tell u
There’s something else
The afterworld
cream cheese and syrup
[Yes I cheated]
In the afterlife we eat [What nor said]
will forever haunt us
[I am done… Carry on… Looking forward to the video.]
[GoodNight, Carl!]
We know it’s Mandy’s fault.
Mandy in a attempt to
start another TMTV video with
her cartoon husband, but Drew
couldn’t draw. So Michelle made
PicassoHeads of Mandy and Tam.
I like Nor’s method…
hee hee…
and then suddenly….
out of no where
Storie appeared!
hi Tam.
So when are
we gioing to do coffee?
But Tam declined because she
was busy with the Twitter
party at home. So Nor
moved to Oregon just to
have coffee with Storie.
But on the flight he
got sick and made the
pilot swim home.
pilot called his cel to
see what the honk was
it was his alarm. this was all a dream!
