The Never-Ending Story...

Hope your fingers are nimble,
because you know what time it is!

However, before we get to our writing
assignment, I thought we would take
a little learning moment.

Even though this teechur doesn't
teach history, I thought I would
give you a little history on the
photo we are using today.

This picture was taken in 1965 at the
wedding of Catherine Deneuve
and British photographer, David Bailey.

However, for our writing assignment today,
I need for you to forget those details
as we let our imaginations run rampant.

What, Sue?
You don't know what rampant means?
No, Sue. You know I'm not going to tell you.
Look it up in the dictionary!

What do you mean by that comment, Sue?
"How can you look it up if you don't know
how to spell it?"

It starts with an R.
I'll give you that much.

Sound it out, Sue!

Anyway, boys and girls...
let's get on with our favorite writing assignment...
THE NEVER-ENDING STORY.

You didn't sleep too much during
the Christmas break, did you?
You still remember the rules?

What, Sue?

You never knew the rules?

What a surprise!

No, Sue, you can't look up the rules
in the dictionary!

Let me give them to you one more time.

No, Sue.

As long as I am giving you the rules,
I will not give you the definition of rampant.

Look it up!

You are very welcome, Sue!

Now, for the rest of you who aren't busy
looking through the dictionary page by page,
LET'S WRITE
THE NEVER-ENDING STORY!

DirDirections/Instructions/How To:

1. I will post a picture and then begin a story
with 3 to 6 sentences...

2. Then I will stop in MID-SENTENCE...

3. The next person picks up (in MID-SENTENCE)
where the last comment left off and will then
add 3 to 6 sentences to continue the story...

4. And then he/she/it will stop in MID-SENTENCE.

5. Don't end the story...
it is a never-ending story!

6. You may post as many comments as you want
to continue the story!

The Never-Ending Story...

Oh, yes!
It is that time again!

What time is it?

Time to write a story!

contribute a sentence or two.

So let's write the...

Never-Ending Story!

The Never-Ending Story...

Come on!

It's fun!

Want to write a story,
but just don't have the time?

Or would you just take joy
in completely changing the
direction of a story?

Whatever your motivation,
you are invited to add
a few words at a time to
keep the story going.

Write a open ended sentence
and come back later to see the
direction the story has taken.

With just a few more words,
you can turn the story on its head!

Let's write the...

Never-Ending Story!

Directions/Instructions/How To:

1. I will post a picture and then begin a story
with 3 to 6 sentences...

Doing What I Do Best...

I know. I know.
I haven't been blogging regularly.
I have been rather busy lately.

Taking care of Lurch is not an easy job!
Okay, okay, he is getting much better
and I have been sitting on my butt
a lot the last couple of days.
But I have also been...
cleaning...
cooking...
driving Ms. Daisy...
and doing what I do best...
being a smart ass!

Yes, you heard me!
I admitted it.
There.
Are you happy?

Yep, I've been hangin' out with this guy...
He's funny.
No, not funny lookin'...
just funny.
Well, he might be funny lookin'...
he's from Canada.
He's pretty funny lookin' here on the clothesline.
Anyway, you need to check him out HERE.
Every Wednesday, Nonamedufus has a caption contest,
Pause Ponder and Pun.

Guess who won the contest last week?
That's right!
This smart ass!
Check it out HERE!

If that wasn't cool enough,
I found this amazing blog,
which also has a caption contest
every Wednesday and gives
this award each week!

Yowser!
THE GOLDEN PHALLUS AWARD!

(No, I didn't name the award!)

Well, you all know that I have been
looking for that big, golden phallus
all of my life...
so I entered!

And guess what?
Well, read it for yourself HERE.

Just my luck.
I get a little phallus.

But I'm still smiling...
because we all know
that a little phallus
is better than no phallus at all!

Next week, our weekly fun activities
will be back online!

Don't forget that we have our own
caption contest, Pop Test, right here every Monday!

On Wednesday, please join us for our weekly
writing "assignments": Wacky Wednesday,
The Never-Ending Story!

Fridays are reserved for your
Fill-In-The-Blank smart ass answers!

If you haven't been joining us every week
for our outlandish M-W-F activities,

However, they had only been there 24 hours when the Baptists came knocking at their door to visit.

They thought Christmas would never get here! They had written their letters to Santa, done their chores and tried their best to stay on The Nice List. They had all piled in the bed together on Christmas Eve and were awakened Christmas morning by Skippy barking loudly at something outside the window. They jumped out of bed and threw the curtains open. They couldn't believe their eyes! Right there, sitting on their lawn was...
