Help create the NZLWN story - Week 1
« on: October 20, 2013, 08:27:02 AM »
Hi all

Admin have been tossing around the idea of a "story" thread where we each contribute to the story. Here's how it works.

Someone starts the story off. The next person replies to the previous comment and leaves a comment for the following person to start their idea off - and on it goes. So for example

(person a) On Monday the weather was....
(person b) ...horrible. I was raining cats and...
(person c) ...hamburgers. No one minded too much because the cats ate all the...
(person a) ...mice that came out to eat all the hamburgers. After the mess was cleaned up...

And on it goes. So get your creative hat on. You can fill in as much or as little of the story as you want to - don't be limited to one liners like I've used above, and it doesn't have to be weather related.

Stories will run for around a week, unless it's a particularly exciting story, in which case we will just let it run to a natural completion

I'll start things off:


When walking around a corner the other day, I came across a wizened old lady. She wore an odd pointy hat, was dressed entirely in black with a crooked  broom at her side....

Angrily she waved her crooked broom at it... and suddenly it lit up showing the restaurant to be full of Leprechauns and white dressed ladies with wings. Goodness she exclaimed, is this broom a magic broom?................

The Policeman could not believe his eyes.  His poor wife had also been turned into a frog. They needed to find a way to reverse the spell so they turned to the yellow pages….

...sadly though, they opened the yellow pages right next to an open window, and a gust of wind blew through the window, slowly turning the yellow pages over and eventually heaving the entire weight of the book onto both of them.

The wizened old lady, meanwhile was in McDonalds, not eating a burger or chips as you would expect, but tucking into raw...

And it was there that they met Kim Dotcom- his animated face beaming at them.
"I can feel your pain," the Great Man said." I see that you have lost your broom."
He patted the witch on her head.
"You know, he continued, "I would be delighted to underwrite a campaign for you to win back your crooked broom."
"Send more beer!"
