Re: Dog and Fire Hydrants « Result #1 on Dec 4, 2004, 9:23am »
Humans! My humans said we were moving. A new neighbourhood, they said. New dogs to sniff in the park. New cats to chase up a tree. They never mentioned this. They never told me I was going to need a new set of kidneys, too! What am I going to do? If I don't mark every one of these hydrants, I've had it. Straight to the bottom of the social ladder for me. The pit bulls will kill themselves for once. They'll die laughing at me! I can't take the pressure! What am I going to do? This is getting me so bad I'm about to pee myself and I can't afford to waste even one drop! I want to go back to the ol' hood! Mommy!

This has been the only laugh I had today. Thank you!

I too have too many things to do right now, but I hope you get this little message. PS It snowed last night!
The way it works is simple. I will post a picture and you can write something inspired by it. It can be long, it can be short ... whatever. If you wish, you can even continue the writing that someone else has started. Once the story has been started, everyone else is welcome to continue the story -- but it must flow.
The rules are also very simple.
1) Write good English -- grammer, spelling, tense, etc. If you can't write good English, I may edit your post to keep the flow going -- or I might just delete your post. 2) No swearing. Of any kind. I won't accept f**k either. That's swearing. 3) Keep the story rated 'G.' You don't need to be sick and twisted to be interesting.
Other rules I will make up as they are broken. They will be added to this list.
From the Encyclopedia Obscura site referenced in the above blog entry, I found the not so obscure comic by Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean, called Signal to Noise. I actually bought this graphic novel many years ago when it first came out. It's actually quite a good read -- I actually still have to find something bad from Gaiman -- and the art is just stunning. It's fully painted. If you haven't read a comic book in ages, or have never given sequential art a spin, I suggest this book is as good a start as any.
