I say we start working on this tonight. Let's all get together at Tude's place at 8 PM. I will bring a plate of cookies and a box of random words and punctuation marks.


Knowing that the end was near, Commander Eckstrom called his men into the galley to give them one last inspirational speech, even though the previous twenty had done no good; in fact the ship probalby would not have run aground if the Commander had not droned on and on during his first speech, stressing the importance of good anal hygiene on one of Her Majesty's ships of the line.

Above is my first draft.

Oh don't make me think like this without having my coffee...

It was the captains insistence that no two people flush at the same time, due to backflow issues, that caused the navigator to not pay attention to the ship's course. The boat surely would have missed the world famous turd reef had the navigator not been distracted.

Knowing that the end was near, Commander Eckstrom called his men into the galley to give them one last inspirational speech, even though the previous twenty had done no good; in fact the ship, H.M.S. Corduroy which some would call the finest ship in the British small pond fleet and most others would call the only ship in the British small pond fleet, probably would not have run aground if the Commander had not droned on and on during his first speech, stressing the importance of good anal hygiene on one of Her Majesty's ships of the line.

That's a good excuse. :)

me too:D

you sir, have an incredible ability to comprehend the obvious, so I am not surprised by your "submission"

I figured that writing an incredibly ponderous and stultifying opening sentence to a novel would be your long suite.

Gerald began--but was interrupted by a piercing whistle which cost him ten percent of his hearing permanently, as it did everyone else in a ten-mile radius of the eruption, not that it mattered much because for them "permanently" meant the next ten minutes or so until buried by searing lava or suffocated by choking ash--to pee.

She resolved to end the love affair with Ramon tonight . . . summarily, like Martha Stewart ripping the sand vein out of a shrimp's tail . . . though the term "love affair" now struck her as a ridiculous euphemism . . . not unlike "sand vein," which is after all an intestine, not a vein . . . and that tarry substance inside certainly isn't sand . . . and that brought her back to Ramon.
