Celebration

..
The Boss has done gone and spoilt me with this new toy. This is my first post using this new Toshiba NM305 Netbook. It is a departure from my widescreen HP but this one will travel with greater ease. A big ole “Thank You” to The Boss. Hint,, I could use a new pickup too. 

Celebration,,Reckon?

Months Earlier, I did a post where I started a story and others carried it forward with their comments. A few folks that I usually hear from did not participate and their explanation was that they normally didn’t write stories. Well, I understand that, but I invite these folks to jump in and play along too. I haven’t come up with a starting point yet, but I wanted to get input from a few of you.

Ok, here is the thing. When I was just a youngster I grew up with the opportunity to scout and play though out the piney woods of East Texas at my leisure. Now that was all fine and good, but I suppose it left a dent in the fender of my social skills. There weren’t many neighbors or friends around to play with. We had an old dog, but Daddy had to tie a pork chop around my neck to even get that dog to play with me. Come lunch time that even that old dog and I were adversaries. That is beside the point. The point is I am still prone to use those methods in order to attract friends, soooo, as per pre-mentioned post, I have these (see photo,, no I am not going to substitute a pork chop this time) as party favors.


If you will so much as say “hi” in the comment section, you win! Now how easy is that? But, it would be more funner if you would add your view of how the initial story should continue. Use any mood or twist that you would like, just remember women and children might be reading this.

But, there’s a problem on my end. I do not feel comfortable with asking all ya’ll your addresses inorder to send the pens. I have done that in the past and I know some feel comfortable with that, but if someone would volunteer to be the “depot”, I would mail all the pens (in stamped envelopes) to this one person. Participants could comment their address to the “depot person”, so that envelopes could be addressed and sent to the folks that sent the “depot person” their address.. wheeuuw,,,would that work? If this is too complicated, just say so.

  1. Um, Hi. Just kidding. Glen, I don't think you have included your email with your profile on your blog. So anyone who may want to privately send you their email address, can't do so with out leaving it in the comments for the whole blogger world to see. It's likely some folks aren't comfortable doing that.

  2. That's right, Glenn, and I've wondered about that, thinking you didn't want us to get hold of you!

    I'm still laughing at the pork chop around your neck...that has produced the funniest vision in my brain!

    You know I'm one of the ones who won't be contributing to your story, but I will be there applauding everyone else and saying "MORE! MORE!", because the last one ended way too soon.

    Oh, I forgot to say HI!

  9. In answer to your question at my place, yes. You can have her contact me by email if SHE'S interested, or just send her to read my adoption or orphanage labels first if she wants.

  12. Darn Glenn, I go for a few days and come back and have to wade through posts and now here you are stirring stuff up with pens and depots. Now I don't know anything about the pork chop and complicated rules, but I do know you got that personality dent all knocked out.
