Let's Make a Story with Four Words Per Post

[JamesU]

this has probably been done before, but ayway...

I'll start off a story with four words. the next person who posts will continue the story with 4 more words and so on. I'll start:

there once was a...

 

[Moonbear]

Yep, it's been tried before and got pretty lame pretty quickly, but I'm willing to give it another try.

...Tiger named Speedo, who...

 

[JamesU]

...decided he woul try...

 

[yourdadonapogostick]

to kill Evil Bob

 

[JamesU]

but instead, he decided...

 

[Moonbear]

...to tickle him with...

(Edited because yomamma was too fast.)

 

[mapper]

a feather from a

 

[JamesU]

danger bird. then he...

 

[Moonbear]

...skipped away to see...

(Hint: folks are going to have to use punctuation and capitalization properly if we're going to keep track of where sentences begin and end.)

 

[yourdadonapogostick]

the danger bird named

 

[Zantra]

pulled out his stungun...

 

[JamesU]

...and aimed it...

edited for length

 

[yourdadonapogostick]

at the evil Bob

 

[Moonbear]

(Not part of the story...what the heck sort of name is "pulled out a stungun" for a bird!? Shall we pause until some folks catch up? This is a tough type of thread to keep going when lots of people are around.)

.But then, Bob said

 

[Moonbear]

(Well, if nobody wants to edit anything, I guess we can proceed.)

...that bird doesn't scare...

Guys, 4 words is too short to have a coherent story line. Let's make it 1-2 sentences, at least.

 

[JamesU]

6 words is the highest I'm going

me, said speedo. and suddenly, a...

Guys, 4 words is too short to have a coherent story line. Let's make it 1-2 sentences, at least.

That also makes it a tad more resistant to the grammatically challenged.

 

[rachmaninoff]

...large dolphin flying a black helicopter...

(it's always a bad idea to end your sentence with 'suddenly'...)

 

[yourdadonapogostick]

that was stolen from

 

[rachmaninoff]

...a Polish superspy.

 

[mapper]

The next day I looked up...

 

[yourdadonapogostick]

and saw a giant

 

[mapper]

4 word post that's to be 6.

 

[rachmaninoff]

..., white cumulus cloud at low altitude...

 

[JamesU]

and went inside. then he...

 

[Moonbear]

Is this story supposed to make any sense?

TIME OUT!

Everyone stop and read at least the first page or two of this storytelling thread to see how it's done.
