Let's write a story, shall we? Here are the rules: 1) Each post should only be one sentence long. If you absolutely can't get it all into one sentence, then use two, but keep it short. 2) You may post as many times as you like, but you must wait for somebody else to post before you can do so again. (You can't post two times in a row.) 3) Remain on topic. This does not mean that you have to follow a strict storyline of any sort, but keep your contribution at least tangentially relate to the previous few. 4) Try to make it interesting. I'll begin: |

I did notice, however, that she had a certain 'alien' look about her; perhaps it was her green tinged skin and the way she kept asking for a "phone home". |

I gave her a quarter for the payphone (not remembering that a phone call has never in my life time costed so little) and wondered at the strange effect of fluorescent lights on her skin. [No, Sense. I think the story still might have life. Thanks though.] |

It would of been easy to laugh at her and her misfortunes, had I not looked into her eyes and seen the pain and sorrow that they contained. |

I had wondered on first gaze, as everyman does to all females, would I ? |

Would I ask her if she was wearing a badly fitting wig or was that her real hair; based on past experience I decided that was probably a bad question to ask; then suddenly.... BOINC miniFAQ Team ACC Forum JOIN Team ACC |

...her hair jumped down from atop her head and ran away! |

This led to a heated debate in the 'Myths, Legends and Conspiracies' thread at the SETI Cafe which ran for days and resulted in a few BOINCERs being carried out in body-bags. |

What's a body-bag she asked cautiously; non-plussed, I thought to myself 'surely everyone knows what they are, or at least every human being knows...' BOINC miniFAQ Team ACC Forum JOIN Team ACC |

... then, new words to an old Beatles song assembled themselves in some dark corner of my mind: We All Live In A Yellow Body Bag .... |

The lyrics must have clarified things for her because she replied, "Oh! Like the one I carry my spare body in." |

The woman replied to the wiggy guy, "I'm not your mate, mate! This man is mine now, and we are leaving for our own private tropical island in the Bahamas poste haste, to raise our gaggle of gigglers! Give me back my wig!" |

He sniffled a little, began to cry, screamed once, and melted right in front of me. |
