Saturday night fun

One of my (Kerri) new favorite games to play with our Saturday night crew is The Story Game. For those not familiar with it, it goes like this. Each participant gets a sheet of paper and writes one line of a story at the top, then passes it on. Each person reads the line that's been written, continues the story with another line, then folds the top down before passing it on again. Thus each person can only read the last line written before adding another line. This continues until the paper is full or people are tired of writing. The results are often comical, horrific and absurd (more or less so depending on who is playing). Following is a story from a recent round --

"Once upon a time a girl tripped over a big-foot in the woods... She fell on her face and got a pine cone stuck up her nose... When the dog barked, she got it stuck in her throat... because the dog startled her... she now has nightmares about dogs robbing her... so she goes to sleep with 24 cats hoping they will have power in numbers... But the cats were too stinky to sleep with... so they purchased a bottle of Herbal Essences to help with the odor... This did not help so the only thing left to do was burn it... but there was a burn ban on at the time so they had to dispose of it differently... They decided to bury it under the swing set at the park... but the teacher caught them and sent them back to class... where they had the punishment of scrubbing all the toilets... and they also had to follow the pipes and clean them with toothbrushes... Their toothbrushes got so dirty they had to go to Wal-Mart to go get new ones... and they bought new toothpaste to go with them... The end."
