Game: Long Short Story

[Mike Wooldridge]

In this game a story is written three words at a time. Each player reads the current three words and adds her/his three word contribution. For example if the current words are "the hornets and," the next contribution might be "wolverines fought viciously."
Let's start with, Tuesday morning NazNet.

[Bob Sugden]

crashed because hornets

[Shea Zellweger]

ate Scott's beard

[Mike Wooldridge]

then attacked Hans

[Marg Shurtliff]

but discovered no

[Mike Wooldridge]

way the Dutchman

[Marg Shurtliff]

had a beard

[Karen Troxler]

Hans has decided

[Mike Wooldridge]

to fight the

[Marg Shurtliff]

hornets cunningly by

[Mike Wooldridge]

sneaking behind the

[Marg Shurtliff]

area where they

[Mike Wooldridge]

were meeting to

[Marg Shurtliff]

effect a surprise

[Mike Wooldridge]

attack. Meanwhile the

[Shea Zellweger]

African Swallows were

[Marg Shurtliff]

fliting here and

[Betty Bolerjack]

there while the

[Mike Wooldridge]

hornets tried to

[Marg Shurtliff]

keep control of

[Mike Wooldridge]

the swallows and

[Marg Shurtliff]

buzzed this way

[Mike Wooldridge]

and that, eating

[Marg Shurtliff]

all they could

[Betty Bolerjack]

until they were

[Marg Shurtliff]

so full they

[Mike Wooldridge]

couldn't fly, then

[Marg Shurtliff]

decided to nap

[Mike Wooldridge]

Meanwhile, the wolverines

[Shea Zellweger]

defended Lake Michigan

[Marg Shurtliff]

with a vengeance

[Mike Wooldridge]

from the charging

[Marg Shurtliff]

hornets who were

[Mike Wooldridge]

attacking with all

[Marg Shurtliff]

the finesse they

[Mike Wooldridge]

they had while

[Marg Shurtliff]

they had while

Hey , you only put 2 new words ! Sorry , you can't save them up and do 4 next time, lol !

still trying to

[Mike Wooldridge]

they had while


Hey , you only put 2 new words ! Sorry , you can't save them up and do 4 next time, lol !
still trying to

Looks like three words to me :)
prepare the attack

[QUOTE=Mike Wooldridge;4987]Looks like three words to me :)

Except that I thought you would check the previous post before yours that already had "they" . Two "theys " in a row in the same sentence with no punctuation didn't make sense . I was teasing you but maybe its me that just doesn't understand .
I did say you only put "two " new " words .

OK, your new words are ??? :)

[Marg Shurtliff]

Sorry , I was just responding to you and didn't have time to do a proper post as I was heading to bed .

on the next

[Mike Wooldridge]

wave, attacking the

[Marg Shurtliff]

nearest moving objects

[Mike Wooldridge]

blasting the wolverines

[Marg Shurtliff]

with repeated blows

[Mike Wooldridge]

from their stingers

[Marg Shurtliff]

taking great pride

[Mike Wooldridge]

as the stunned

[Marg Shurtliff]

wolverines were wondering

[Mike Wooldridge]

what hit them

[Marg Shurtliff]

rather disorientated and

[Mike Wooldridge]

confused they tried

[Marg Shurtliff]

to focus on

[Mike Wooldridge]

gathering themselves for

[Marg Shurtliff]

the next attack

[Mike Wooldridge]

Meanwhile the aliens

[Marg Shurtliff]

discovered that they

[Mike Wooldridge]

were being attacked

[Marg Shurtliff]

by itsy bitsy

[Mike Wooldridge]

baby hornets that

[Marg Shurtliff]

were out for

[Mike Wooldridge]

blood, attacking the

[Marg Shurtliff]

aliens with gusto

[Mike Wooldridge]

growing sttronger and

[Marg Shurtliff]

bolder as they

[Mike Wooldridge]

pressed their attack

[Marg Shurtliff]

almost cackling with

[Mike Wooldridge]

energy as they

[Marg Shurtliff]

zipped here and

[Mike Wooldridge]

there searching for

[Marg Shurtliff]

a delectable target

[Mike Wooldridge]

to sink their

[Marg Shurtliff]

sharp little stingers

[Mike Wooldridge]

into, drawing energy

[Marg Shurtliff]

from the abundant

[Mike Wooldridge]

energy in the

[Marg Shurtliff]

thrill of attacking

[Mike Wooldridge]

They could almost

[Marg Shurtliff]

taste the win

[Mike Wooldridge]

when suddenly the
I guess that's a win-when situation! :)

[Marg Shurtliff]

aliens turned and

[Mike Wooldridge]

said, "Are you..."

[Marg Shurtliff]

related to Killer

[Mike Wooldridge]

Bees or Killer

[Marg Shurtliff]

Flies that we

[Mike Wooldridge]

coming to attack

[Marg Shurtliff]

the first target

[Mike Wooldridge]

they find. So

[Marg Shurtliff]

the baby hornets

[Mike Wooldridge]

played with each

[Marg Shurtliff]

other and had

[Mike Wooldridge]

fun until they

[Marg Shurtliff]

began to get

[Mike Wooldridge]

tired of flying

[Marg Shurtliff]

and hungry so

[Mike Wooldridge]

they decided to

[Marg Shurtliff]

see what grub

[Mike Wooldridge]

there was to

[Marg Shurtliff]

consume before they

[Mike Wooldridge]

headed for FIFA

[Marg Shurtliff]

in South Africa

[Mike Wooldridge]

to add their

[Marg Shurtliff]

own excitement to

[Mike Wooldridge]

the buzzing at

[Marg Shurtliff]

the game where

[Mike Wooldridge]

the United States

[Marg Shurtliff]

played the strong

[Mike Wooldridge]

team hailing from

[Marg Shurtliff]

Italy , the past

[Mike Wooldridge]

winner from European

[Marg Shurtliff]

soccer matches . The

[Mike Wooldridge]

hornets went after

[Marg Shurtliff]

the United States

[Mike Wooldridge]

soccer team and

[Marg Shurtliff]

took great delight

[Charles G Brown]

You guys/gals got way too much time on your hands.
