So, David gave me this idea. And by gave, I mean that quite literally. He came up with it and told me about it to let me have the reins. Ultra cool move there.
Anyway, this is how it's going to work. I'm going to give you all a nursery rhyme, or a song lyric, or possibly even a poem. You then give me your suggestions for a concluding line. I'll post up the best suggestions, which will also link back to your blog so other people can see exactly who came up with the killer suggestions.
And this first one will be a double whammy, because I'll also be opening the floor for suggestions on what to call this new feature! How awesome is that? So, with that in mind, here's our first lyrical entrant:
Little Miss Muffet, sat on her tuffet
Eating her curds and whey.
Along came a spider and sat down beside her...
readygo.
Dan Mega gets firsties, although he forgot this nursery rhyme...rhymed:
" and said "hey muffet, gotta light?" "
Chertiozhnik (who you should check out sometime soon) was the Energizer Bunny of this exchange so far, chipping in four contributions:
"Miss Muffet ate protein that day."
"And with his guitar, sang 'Whisky in the Jar,' and 'Sitting on the Dock of the Bay.'
"As curds n'whey are a milk product, it contains protein anyway."
I'm partial to the second one. Chert also suggested "Hard Lines" for the title of this little game, though I'm not quite sold on that. Though, as I pointed out, it's much better than what I didn't come up with.
phaseoutgirl gets my vote for best scatological entrant with this funny line:
"and dropped all his turds on her tray!"
Brian in Oxford chimes in with:
" ...And found out Miss Muffet was gay."
David, the architect of this whole idea, has the best idea for the name so far with Rhyme...and Treason. He also has this suggestion for the last line:
"This is ma lobster, his name's Cassius Cray'."
Which I like, because any pun on Cassius Clay is okay by me.
and said "hey muffet, gotta light?"
ReplyDelete"Miss Muffet ate protein that day."
ReplyDeleteHow many goes do you get? I want LOTS.
Hard Lines?
Dunno. Working.
And started discussing Lacan and Derrida
ReplyDeleteIn a rather cantankerous way.
And with his guitar
ReplyDeleteSang "Whisky in the Jar"
And "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay".
As curds'n'whey is a milk product, it contains protein anyway.
ReplyDeleteI'll go away now. Really.
"and dropped all his turds on her tray"!
ReplyDeleteOk, that sounded really bad... but what the heck.. can't think of anything else.
Dan - You get firsties. You seem to have forgotten there was a rhyming scheme, but I'll let that slide right on by.
ReplyDeleteChertiozhnik - Chock full o' ideas, aren't ya? So far you've got the only suggesting for a title. It's better than anything I didn't come up with, but I'm not really sold on it.
ReplyDeletephase - Nice contribution. Yeah, it sounds bad, but I'm no PC kind of guy here, so I'm right on board with potty humor.
ReplyDelete"...And found out Miss Muffet was gay."
ReplyDeleteBrian - Not that there's anything wrong with that.
ReplyDeleteOi, Bart-Man,
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked the idea, buddy. Very happy to see liftoff so quick, too! And my thanks for the generous reference to me.
Okay, first up, here's my suggestion for the name of the game: `Rhyme - And Treason'.
And my suggestion for the last line of the rhyme:
``Tbis is ma lobster, his name's Cassius Cray''.
Way to go, Bart-Man - I can see a surge in one-on-one repartee happening on this site. You deserve it.
And the idea, by the way, was tailor-made for your personality. That is a huge compliment, mate
Cheers
David
David - I thank you yet again for the awesome idea, and it is indeed a huge compliment and pleasured privilege that you bestowed this idea upon me.
ReplyDeleteNot only that, but your name suggestion is also awesome. Stop being so awesome, you're gonna explode from awesomeness.
Hi Bart-Man,
ReplyDeleteVery humbled by your message. There's no need to thank me - I guess it's the way my parents brought me up.
I'm always happy to help a friend. As soon as I had the idea, I knew it would apply perfectly to you.
It's great to see such a response. If you're going to settle on the name `Rhyme and Treason', let me know and I'll post a link to it.
I'll try not to ``explode with awesomeness''!!!!
Cheers
David
