Finish the story

Post by Leujin »

Not a very intelectually stimulating game, but still one of my favorites. How this works is, you write a sentence and then the next person to post continues the story from the sentence. Seeing as I started the thread, mayhap I should start the game.

Once upon a time, there was a small Texan man named Steve.

Steve lived in a little house in the praerie, with his donkey Niklas and his wife.

One day his beautiful beloved wife of 20 years, Jane, contracted syphilis, got mugged on her way to the doctor, was pushed and fell down a spiky escalator going upwards and got run over by a van of pigs on the jagged road below.

Then obnoxious, chubby, overbearning lawman Sheriff Jeronimo (Joe Don Baker) was called to investigate the possible murder of Jane.

Sheriff Jeronimo was best known for cracking the Jack and Jill well murders, but he had a special interest in this particular case.

Standing over Jane's mangled body he eyed the tire tracks with deep suspicion - there was something about them that just smelled plain rotten.

'Oh yeah.' the sheriff thought. 'I'm standing in dog poo.' After moving aside, he realized that while the smell was gone, the tire tracks still bothered him...

The sheriff noticed that the tire tread was most almost exactly that of the Goodyear R649 unisteel 8R19.5" radial. Almost. For all the similarity, the hint of the molding seams was completely wrong! Realizing that no human would have the need to create a forgery of a truck tire, the perpetrators were obviously NOT OF THIS WORLD! This knowledge would soon come in handy as the van that had hit her was parked only 15 feet away. He set a stern jaw and approached the vehicle.

Before he got close enough to knock on the door, the van started bouncing up and down; obeying the "If she's a-rocking, don't come a-knocking" sticker on its bumper, he respectfully backed away.

a cheese sandwich, which are awfully hard to come by anywhere else in the galaxy, and it's a well known fact that Jane was the only one capable of making such a good sandwich to prevent the aliens from probing and killing everyone.

All this about sandwiches made Steve rather hungry. So he decided to make a little picnic. Reaching into his picnic basket, he realized that someone had stolen the mustard.

Just as Steve started to search, Lee Van Cleef jumped down from the tree behind him, mustard in hand, being chased by a band of 367 nija squirrel robots!

Steve ran like billy whizz and pounced upon Lee Van Cleef in an attempt to take back his mustard. No sooner her he done so, than the entire bot-army of ninja squirrels pummled him in their attempt to also take the mustard.

One squirrel raised the mustard above his head and proclaimed...
