storytime #1

We would like all our reader an opportunity to participate in creating a post. It's not that we're lazy and we can't write the whole thing ourselves, but it might be fun if we gave YOU the chance to participate.

Directions: Post the next sentence to our story in the comments. Also, please indicate which color font you would like to represent yourself. This page will be updated often, as it is a living document.

Jared and Calvin were walking down the street. Suddenly, a giant robot came to eat them with Frank's Red Hot. But then the robot saw the chicken crossing the road and started to wonder why the chicken crossed the road. The chicken, threatened by the robot, took out a sub-machine gun. The chicken then realized it was a sub-making gun and made himself a tasty, tasty sub. The heavenly smell of the sub reminded the robot of Jared...the famous one. Then a handsome man walks in and introduced himself to the chicken saying, "I'm Didier, the handsome one." Soon after, the handsome Didier started dancing wildly, like a maniac ... a maniac ... on the floor. Seeing this sight the robot drenched him with Frank's Red Hot and agonizingly ate him. Confused by the ambiguous antecedent of the previous sentence and unsure of who was actually eaten, the grammar-happy robot exploded into several pieces. But the robot had forgotten there was a recall on Frenchmen due to traces of salmonella. And the handsome Didier was freed. The End.

Epilogue:

The chicken, whose full name was Chicken The Chicken, having realized that the tasty sub it had just finished devouring had been in fact comprised primarily of its best friend, Chicken The Other Chicken, ran across the road in a hysterical fit, colliding with the robot just as it exploded at 88 miles per hour - and as we all know, robots capable of human feats such as eating and imperfect memory must contain Flux Capacitors - thus sending Chicken The Chicken far back in time, thereby solving both age-old dilemmas regarding chickens.

Meanwhile, the recently freed handsome man had an allergic reaction to the combination of ambiguous syntax and hot sauce, causing permanent hair loss and leaving him just a recently freed man.

Jared and Calvin, amused by the events that had just transpired, decided to begin a website and share the story with the world. Frustrated with the fact that the world seemed uninterested, they allowed their readers (consisting only of close friends) a chance to liven the story up by adding in new elements in an attempt to attract the media. The plan backfired, however, as the final contributor to the story cleverly redirected readers to his own site, marcchang.wordpress.com.
