[Nyala]

How about excercising our creative talents and writing our own homegrown short story? The object is for each person to add onto the last leaving it open for the next person to continue. Write a sentence or two (or more if the creative juices are flowing) and we'll see where this takes us. I'll start.


It was a dark and stormy night, the wind howled through the trees when suddenly..............

only this time Thomas had forgotten his cleaver so he had to go in search of...

the flying pink elephant had now turned red with anger and gathered up some troops which were....

We've done this before and I am glad to see that neither the meat cleaver nor the shadow have been used for sexually related activities - yet! Just a little tip - you have to copy and paste the story as you go along or you'll never keep track of it!

He gazes at the brilliant full moon. The same one, he thinks to himself, at
which Socrates, Aristotle, and Plato gazed. Suddenly, he imagines they
appear beside him. Thomas tells Socrates about the national debate over one's
right to die and wonder at the constancy of the human condition. He tells
Plato that he lives in the country that has come the closest to Utopia, and
shows him a copy of the Constitution. Thomas tells Aristotle that we have
found many more than four basic elements and he shows him a periodic table.

Thomas gets a box of kitchen matches and strike one. They gasp with wonder. They spend the rest of the night lighting farts.

Our hero dashed to the scene to be met by his faithful shadow...oh no wait what is that.. is it a chicken, is it a weever.. no its Thomas the meat cleaver. Only this time Thomas had forgotten his cleaver so he had to go in search of his trusty sidekick who, thankfully, had a spare. This lost him precious time during which the unthinkable happened the flying pink elephant had now turned red with anger and gathered up some troops which were dancing the macarena as they prepared to fly their yellow submarine through the azure clouds overhead. The phantom Rooster meantime.... spied his lady love below and .......noticed she was in great peril. Thomas the meat cleaver was........ about to chop the phantom Rooster's lady love up into pieces so as to make a nice peri peri chicken later...when all of a sudden came a flying bottle of lemon and herb from the phantom himself, striking the now red elephant square on the tip of his trunk. This enraged him so much that he started a rampage towards ...the dreaded Thomas with his sharply honed cleaver as he was about to lop of the head of phantom Roosters beloved chick. Just then the yellow submarine...burst into a huge ball of fire, yet... it wasnt fire it was yellow paint, and it covered everyone and everything in gooey yellow slop. Thomases hand slipped from the cleaver and fell down, chopping his pinky toe off his left foot, He screamed in glee because he was secretly a masochist. Blood spurted....... the pain was excruciating and yet in his eye there was a twinkle of utter amazement, for the first time in years he had feeling again! He could now beat the meat and feel the pain! But wait, what was this new feeling?

Thomas awoke in a brightly lit room, everything was white, "am I in heaven" he thought...OMG! it was strange, could it be that for the first time he was actually experiencing ...as his musing began to produce warm fuzzies, the phantom rooster burst into the room shaking his featherd fists and declaring loudly.......

"OK. Who's been farting in here?"

He gazes at the brilliant full moon. The same one, he thinks to himself, at
which Socrates, Aristotle, and Plato gazed. Suddenly, he imagines they
appear beside him. Thomas tells Socrates about the national debate over one's
right to die and wonder at the constancy of the human condition. He tells
Plato that he lives in the country that has come the closest to Utopia, and
shows him a copy of the Constitution. Thomas tells Aristotle that we have
found many more than four basic elements and he shows him a periodic table.

Thomas gets a box of kitchen matches and strike one. They gasp with wonder.

They spend the rest of the night lighting farts, which was okay for everyone except for the phantom rooster who badly singed hsi tail feathers. PR decided he would get his own back on everyone. He went out to the shed to look for the 44gal drum of Avgas, which was kept for just such an emergency as this.

He doused the whole lot them in the precious liquid, lit a match and after loudly declaring."One for all and all for one" he sent them all into their chosen afterlife. And so ends the tale of,Thomas the Cleaver, the Phamtom Rooster, the pink elephant and the yellow submarine.

All that's left to say is, Children, if you play with fire you'll burn your fingers...
