Can the collective write a (sequel to the) short story?

Asked by aanuszek1 (2290points) November 13th, 2008

As some of you may recall, there was an interesting story written sometime ago by the collective. Can we write a bestselling sequel? I doubt it. But it’s worth a go. Six words each post, and no back to back posts. Also, please don’t insert those nasty “Hey stupid! Six words only!” cliffnotes.

the soap, at which point I

out of my orifices, I wondered

why my brother left the spittoon

on the bathroom floor.

When I see my brother again,

She’s a sweetheart, but the clothing

she picks is the weirdest stuff

like this shirt she gave me

Bluefreedom's avatar

As for that burning rash I

chyna's avatar

should go to the dr. and

aanuszek1's avatar

have him smell it, seeing as

Bluefreedom's avatar

it looks a lot like my

aanuszek1's avatar

brother’s shorts, but then again I

Nimis's avatar

need to stop smelling my brother’s shorts

Bluefreedom's avatar

and switch to smelling his funky

Nimis's avatar

new line of cologne for men

aanuszek1's avatar

,”Essence o de Cheez-Whiz” which actually

Bluefreedom's avatar

attracts farm animals of every type.

Nimis's avatar

which led to a rather embarrassing incident

Bluefreedom's avatar

involving two sheep and a large

Nimis's avatar

alpaca named Bob

Bluefreedom's avatar

who is minus one leg but

Nimis's avatar

sings a beautiful rendition of The Wind Beneath My Wings

Bluefreedom's avatar

Then there was the sacrificial chicken

Nimis's avatar

who refused to be sacrificed and led a chicken coup

Bluefreedom's avatar

that ran roughshod over the entire

KatawaGrey's avatar

farm, including poor old bob the alpaca

chyna's avatar

and then ran over the goat who

Bluefreedom's avatar

kicked the famer in his jewels and

aanuszek1's avatar

ceased all production of the perfume.

Bluefreedom's avatar

Now it was time to start making

aanuszek1's avatar

spill-proof spittoons, so that I

Bluefreedom's avatar

wouldn’t waste any when I drank

fireside's avatar

Boy, do I like to drink.

KatawaGrey's avatar

This way, my brother won’t leave

Bluefreedom's avatar

and my big sister won’t try

Nimis's avatar

to steal my glorious collection of

aanuszek1's avatar

vintage spittoons, which I have locked

jsc3791's avatar

on the website “Music 4 Deaf Folks” last year, during the great

augustlan's avatar

sock monkey recall, which was really

aanuszek1's avatar

catastrophic, seeing as the Germans had

augustlan's avatar

no knitted puppets for their kids.

aanuszek1's avatar

The situation was made worse when

augustlan's avatar

the angry children turned on them

with an ear-splitting cry of

“They all lived happily after.”

The End

fireside's avatar

Thank you, Astro Chuck.
You win.

Chuck cheats!

I guess the sequels are never as good

a large spider monkey on a

crazy acid trip in the amazon

fireside's avatar

met up with a friendly baboon.

Bluefreedom's avatar

Not long after, monkey love ensued.

Jeruba's avatar

In the quiet moments that followed,

augustlan's avatar

many cigarettes were smoked. Then, suddenly

Jeruba's avatar

and without the slightest warning, a

jsc3791's avatar

huge fart escapes the baboon’s ass. the monkey is

Elumas's avatar

paralyzed

jsc3791's avatar

with embarrassment. the baboon says

augustlan's avatar

“Dear me…the bananas must be

Elumas's avatar

escaping me.”

Jeruba's avatar

Just then, a large cloud of

Nimis's avatar

locusts descends upon the unsuspecting horde

KatawaGrey's avatar

and is repelled by the gas

Jeruba's avatar

with such a reverberating gust that

Siren's avatar

no one is aware of

KatawaGrey's avatar

because the force knocked them out!

augustlan's avatar

The locusts proceeded to eat all

Jeruba's avatar

the socks in the nearby village

amurican's avatar

while chester was about to release

augustlan's avatar

the angry German children. When they

cookieman's avatar

huddled together and prayed for their

story to end.

aanuszek1's avatar

So it did.

<THE END>

Oh RichardHenry, we have a job for you…

Nimis's avatar

Err…not to sound mean (as it was mildly entertaining),
but don’t think it warrants RichardHenry’s attention.

aanuszek1's avatar

Yes I know, I was only kidding :)

If I have time I might compile it.

AstroChuck's avatar

How exactly is this a sequel?
No beaked aliens.
No Nordic tree penguins.
I just don’t get it.

aanuszek1's avatar

@AstroChuck
Don’t forget about the whiskey, oh how I loved the whiskey…

bythebay's avatar

Well I never read the first story, but this one certainly made me giggle! You’re a creative bunch ;)

Jeruba's avatar

Yes, where is the first story? I want to read about the Nordic tree penguins and the beaked aliens. The only tree penguins I know of are the coastal bearded tree penguins.

augustlan's avatar

Here it is!

Took me forever to find it!

Here is another link about the short story.

Jeruba's avatar

Ah, indeed. Thank you, Augustlan. I can see why there’d be some deep nostalgia for an experience like that, Albert Hoffman and octopi and all. So who is writing the music?

Strauss's avatar

The (newly) famous group called

Albert Hoffman and the Nordic Tree Penguins
