This isn’t really a discussion, it’s a fun game I enjoy playing with groups, and I thought of starting a thread here.
The rules are simple- one person writes a line in a short story, and then the next person gets to add the next line to develop the story, and the person after that writes another lines, etc. You can’t post a line after your own though.
I’ll start, shall I? Here I go…
“Once upon a time, in a kingdom far far away, lived a princess…”
...not only did their hocus pocus change the status of the princess, but her once pinkish locks were now an icky green. This colour change made it difficult for villagers and the like to recognize her as the princess she now was…
...a knight in highly reflective armor appeared in the distance. “Oh how vunderful!” cheered the green hued ogre-princess. But alas, as the knight rode closer and closer, the Princesses Orge vision was finally coming in to focus. This wasn’t a knight in highly reflective armor at all, it actually was…
..and from that, Roger Ebert thinking out loudly says, “They shouldn’t have let George Lucas write a prequel to Shrek”, and then turns the movie off.
But, alas, the movie could not be turned off. It would not be turned off. The gypsy, now dark with evil delight, reaches out of the television set for Roger Ebert and drags him through the square doorway. For this wasn’t a television at all, but in fact, a magical mirror…
... enrolled into a computer typing class so she could compete in the Olympics, however this conflicted with..
Thanks, that’s the sweetest thing anybody’s ever done for me! The gypsy then charged her $80 for the assistance, and went off on his way. But alas, the competition was not over! A new Olympic contender has arrived to challenge the princess, and surprisingly enough it was…
the mac guy from the Apple vs. PC commercials. Suddenly the little chimes of the theme song started playing around the competitors, the white backdrop was sprawled behind them and the competition began! However, before they could even hit a key the Gypsy burst through and exclaimed…
“That man you see there is not in fact a man at all. You, as I was, may be surprised when you learn it is really… A ROBOT!”. The Gypsy rips off the face-plate of the robot which by a funny coincidence, happens to be on it’s face. “You see… mechanical wires, doodads and junk. And look!” The Gypsy points over in the stands with dramatic ferocity, “Look who is controlling him!”. The crowd gasps, for it was…
...using her powerful ogre strength to leap high in the air. She grabs a flag pole. Ripping it out of its cement mantle she lunges at Bill Gates, pointy-end of the flag forward. Thrusting with all her ogre-might, she plummets the pointy pole-end through the chest of Bill Gates. “That, you nerd, is for all the blue-screens of death I had to deal with during my keyboard lessons!” She stands up, looks up at the crowd and yells, “But don’t get me wrong, Windows is still better than a Mac!”.
A groan. The ogre-princess turns around and there stands Bill Gates, with a smile on his face, and a flag pole through his chest… “This can’t be”, the ogre-princess mumbles…
Sure it can, says Gates. I’ve used my money to turn myself into a robot! Hahahahaha!
Meanwhile, the gypsy and Roger Ebert (forgot about him?) infiltrated the Microsoft HQ using smoke and mirrors. They’ve just reached the main console when a voice from behind proclaimed “Stop right there!” The robo-mac-guy was standing behind them with an iGun. And then…
The ogre princess, first ashamed of her green hair and her lack of being able to fit in, had an inspiring thought. “I know how to stop him!” she cried. She then lifted her giant ogre arm into the air and stuck her giant ogre finger into the barrel of the gun. Then, BANG! After much wincing, she turned around to see shards of mac and PC intermingling on the Microsoft Head Quarters competition floor. She wiped off her charred finger and exclaimed, “well they’re not set out for typing, but that sure shows I know how to think differently!”.
From the corner of the stage, a murmur of click, click, clicking started to emerge. The Ogre turned to find that it was…
The other contestant of the Olympic typing games- Tom Cruise!
At the same time, the robo-mac-guy was preparing to shoot the gypsy and Roger with his iGun. However, he couldn’t do it, because he didn’t purchase the iBullets which are sold online. The three made peace and rushed back to the Olympic Stadium, only to find that the contest had started without them, and that Tom Cruise was already half-done his document while the ogre-princess hadn’t even started!
The all knew only one person could help them now, and it would have to be…
her own self…who else can it be??? sudden thunder in the sky grabs her attention and she looks towards the sky,as if somethin miraculous goin to come down but wat falls is a drop of blood…
The ogre princess freaked out… but then she smelled the blood and found out it wasn’t blood at all… it was ketchup! She looked up just in time to see a burger falling from the sky. It was following by another burger, and a veggie burger, and suddenly the whole stadium was full of burgers and veggie burgers (and about 5 chicken burgers too). Tom Cruise was quick to react- he grabbed his computer and, while still typing, made a run for the exit. But all of a sudden….
Tom Cruise saw a Hamburger,he jus couldnt resist as he was hungry and he loved them the most kept a step ahead to grab it ! but this step was on spilt ketchup…that changed his life in a way he could never imagine….
He went on to found a new religion/cult called science-fictionology. But he could never ever calculate the sliding friction of a shoe on ketchup. Anyways, there were two giants in the sky, one called maccadee and the other simply called the king and they were raining the fat filled burgers down on the unsuspecting crowd. Our princess shot out her ogre arms and caught the two giants and swung them high..
ogre arms were on spot ! but there was another element in the scene ..the new TOM CRUSADER ….! yes wat made him the cRuSaDeR was the thought process of a winner…he cared bout nothin now,there was jus this swirling tornado inside him….he wanted to no wat it was, when he saw princess and…
And he laughed. An evil sort of laugh like evil guys always do- muhahaha.
The princess swung the 2 giants away from the stadium, and no the hamburger rain stopped. She went back to her typing, but it was clear that there was no way out- Tom Crusader was typing at full speed through the entire time, and victory was assuredly his.
But then a whistle was blown! An announcer proclaim: “Mr. Cruise, you are disqualified for cheating”. It turned out that Tom cheated by…
.....and then i realized that i had been grazing all along and that i was a cow wearing a cowboy hat along with bells on my tail. But then i saw the fair princess, riding on a Harley with a shotgun slung on her back…and behind her sat someone i knew all along, someone who was…...
who suddeny….grew horns and became a minotaur but looked cute too. Suddenly, the Harley sputtered and coughed and belched out a….
