The Never Ending Story!!!!!

[absolute_zero]

I found this on an astronomy forum-

"I found this on the Model railroader forum and it too, has taken on it's own life, Sooooo I thought I would start over here so we as astronomers could have a little fun with it too. Here's the way it works, I'll start the story with 3 words, then each successive poster will add 3 more to keep the story going. Here goes..."

NOTE TO POSTERS: to make it funnier, only look at the last reply, and then post

[absolute_zero]

My telescope is...

[Uano Craff]

too awesome for...

[Christopher Ferro]

Wal-Mart door greeters...

[Argos]

Thus I always

[Uano Craff]

go to Target

[Lance]

where they hardly

[Fram]

seem to notice

[jamestox]

...my continuous staring...

[jfribrg]

at the stars

[dvb]

. I tell them

[Nicolas]

...not to watch...

(welcome newbies! =D> )

[Lance]

but they always

[Kristophe]

have to see

[Nicolas]

...the pretty cashier :wink: ...

[Russ]

bending over the

[ChesleyFan]

...Northern sky chart...

[tjm220]

... looking for the ...

[dvb]

southern cross, which

[Donnie B.]

has no nails

[SciFi Chick]

and no religion

[Maksutov]

, a pattern which



[edit to 3 words/got carried away]

[Donnie B.]

[Footnote] -- give some people three words and they'll take a baker's dozen! :lol:

[Donnie B.]

[Other footnote] -- this thread would be easier to read if everybody turned off their sigs... 8-[

[Platinum Rhymer]

a pattern which

makes an incredible

[Lance]

view of Uranus

[crosscountry]

poking through its

[Vega115]

gargantuion (sp?) hole, and

[dvb]

into the cosmos.

gee that was a long sentence. :P

[Maksutov]

Meanwhile, back at

[dvb]

the lunar observatory

[jamestox]

an interesting observation

[Maksutov]

by Dr. Floyd

[dvb]

lead me to

[Maksutov]

determine that Pluto

[A Thousand Pardons]

was super dense

[dvb]

and did not

[crosscountry]

possess any athiests

[dvb]

, but did contain

[Kristophe]

some antibacterial mouthwash.

[dvb]

I was certain

[sarongsong]

Mickey was responsible;

[Inferno]

but my wife....

[sarongsong]

was convinced that

[dvb]

the results were

[paulie jay]

suspiciously similar to

[absolute_zero]

a methylcloroisothiazolinone hydronuclear... [real word, look in your shampoo]

NOTE TO POSTERS: to make it funnier, only look at the last reply, and then post

[Jules]

Dumbfounded, I searched...

[Fram]

the yellow pages

[Jules]

for a sign

[beskeptical]

That the Earth was still there

[Lianachan]

Imagine my surprise

[Fram]

when, upon my

(Beskeptical, 3 words at a time please!)
(oh, and it helps if we use interpunction (points, comma's, whatever, and capitals) to show where sentences start and end)

[Amadeus]

lap a beautiful...

[absolute_zero]

but weird looking...

[Lianachan]

young Spanish waiter

[Fram]

spilled three hot

[jfribrg]

cups of tea

[crosscountry]

on my poodle

[jamestox]

"YIP!!!," cried the

[pghnative]

poodle's mother, as

[Fram]

her hairdresser approached

[pghnative]

wielding two chainsaws

[Lianachan]

and a huge

[Fram]

grin. A featherduster

[jamestox]

hung from his

[Jules]

jockstrap. Herbert then

[pumpkinpie]

threw it away

[Amadeus]

and he said "

[jfribrg]

this is worse

[jamestox]

MUCH worse than

[Lianachan]

that time I

[Maksutov]

with the Chippendales

[crosscountry]

got it on.

[Fram]

It hit a

[absolute_zero]

gual-hydroxypropyltrimonium-chloride filled tube...

[jamestox]

and you can't

[crosscountry]

eat that with

[Lianachan]

much enthusiasm. However,

[Amadeus]

it still smarts

[Russ]

when you use...

[Nicolas]

more than one.

[pghnative]

Suddenly, a large...

[pumpkinpie]

red pop top

[Lance]

with a tiny

[Sigma_Orionis]

speck of dust

[Nicolas]

cleaned the rover

[bytheway]

like any other dog.

[Uano Craff]

So at that

[Argos]

point I realized

[dvb]

I had no

[Amadeus]

Trousers on however.

[Uano Craff]

a diaper, I

[Nicolas]

was wearing, but

[Argos]

I felt terribly

[dvb]

insecure about my

[Uano Craff]

poodle's fate, but

[Nicolas]

so was he!

[Lianachan]

That poor dog

[dvb]

didn't like to

[pghnative]

eat chicken livers,...

[Donnie B.]

(not that he

[Nicolas]

liked chicken eating

[dvb]

poodles, but he

[bytheway]

doesn't care much for

[dvb]

eating woo-woos instead.

[Maksutov]

Nancy Lieder's dog

[Grendl]

howls when she

[Maksutov]

euthanizes it. But

[bytheway]

cat's don't

[Maksutov]

howl at Planet X

[got an extra word since the preceding post only had two]

[Grendl]

except when Nancy

[Maksutov]

is on C2C

[bytheway]

being pounded by

[Maksutov]

BABBers calling in

[beskeptical]

But BABBers don't call C2C, it's a mystery for sure

[dvb]

lets try this again

. So I decided

[Grendl]

to look at

[Fram]

it.) so he

(we had opened a parenthesis at the top of the page, and I feared we would forget to close it again!)

[Lance]

finally got it

[pumpkinpie]

over the wall

[Jules]

and under the

[jamestox]

bright, romantic moon

[jfribrg]

the werewolf joked

[Amadeus]

then suddenly a

[jamestox]

deafening noise rose

[Russ]

slapping my face

[pumpkinpie]

turning it red

[Nicolas]

including my nose.

[pghnative]

Suddenly, Bono appeared.

[pumpkinpie]

Sonny, that is.

[Nicolas]

Sorry, I always

[pumpkinpie]

look before leaping

[Nicolas]

, but never watch

[pghnative]

C N N.

[jfribrg]

And now for




something completely different

[tjm220]

Bart Sibrel apologizes

[jamestox]

...NOT! Then BA

[Grendl]

cleans his clock

[paulie jay]

shaped chocolate bar

[brianok]

irregular pulsating motion

[Wally]

resulted in a

[Lance]

flat-tire sounding

[Chip]

as if it

[um3k]

had flown away

[paulie jay]

on the wind.

[mickal555]

Hmmm lets see how this thread works...

Purple monkey Dishwaher

[bytheway]

then grabbed a

[Nicolas]

"rename me" sign,

[dvb]

and continued to

[jamestox]

shine the light

[Argos]

on the secrets

[bytheway]

that only we

[PeterFab]

knows how to

[crosscountry]

eat a sandwhich.

[tlbs101]

Tuna, mayonnaise, and dill-relish

[Nicolas]

all combined on

[Argos]

incredibly tasty flavors

[dvb]

make for a(n)

[bytheway]

never ending story.

[jamestox]

However, one dark

[Argos]

night I grabbed

[jfribrg]

at straws that

[tlbs101]

were contained in

[jamestox]

that little-known

[Maha Vailo]

vessel of great knowledge

[jfribrg]

known only to

[Nicolas]

those who believe

[bytheway]

in Richard Hoagland's

[Donnie B.]

visionary but idiotic

[Maha Vailo]

"Face on Mars"

[Chief Engineer Scott]

Storm on Titan

[David Carroll]

is powerless to

[Argos]

trigger major atmospheric

[bytheway]

change in Earth's

[Melusine]

thermodynamics, but it

[frogesque]

might rain Friday

[mannisue]

if we're naughty

[bytheway]

enough to gaze

[Melusine]

at strange websites

[hippietrekx]

with crazy geeks

[paulie jay]

wearing natty bowties

[mickal555]

decide to eat

[paulie jay]

pickled herring sandwiches

[mannisue]

with chinese mustard

[mickal555]

Because this caused

dang post time limit

[hippietrekx]

big smiles to

( I see what you mean about the post time thing... :roll: )

[mickal555]

erupt on their

[Melusine]

digital girlfriends' faces,

edit: fix syntax

[mickal555]

because they programed

[mannisue]

something completely different

[mickal555]

to what had

[frogesque]

gone on before

[Argos]

Michael Jackson´s trial.

[Melusine]

Recently astronomers exposed

[jfribrg]

some camera film

[mickal555]

that the eagle

[bytheway]

's eyes had overlooked

[mannisue]

and discovered that

[Maha Vailo]

the Moon landings

[Melusine]

provided entertainment for

[mickal555]

left handed monkeys.

[mannisue]

tired of doing

[frogesque]

painting by numbers

[jfribrg]

the astronauts would

[bytheway]

instead find new

[frogesque]

bolt on appendages

[mickal555]

these provided nice

[bytheway]

three-course meals

[frogesque]

for visiting aliens

[Melusine]

wearing stolen Nikes

[mannisue]

that came from

[frogesque]

Wallmart's oddment bin.

[mickal555]

This undoughtadly caused



What's with all the windjammer adds :-?

[jamestox]

a cornflake to

[mickal555]

have a moment

[frogesque]

of midlife crisis

[mannisue]

after discovering that

[frogesque]

exploding toads (http://www.badastronomy.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=21243&postdays=0&postorder=asc&hig hlight=exploding+toads&start=0) were

[mannisue]

eating Alka-Seltzer =D>

[frogesque]

Granma's cat, however

[Melusine]

was cloned by

[Halcyon Dayz]

a mad scientist.

[mickal555]

In other news

[bytheway]

Mr. Johnson's cat

[Melusine]

was abducted by

[mickal555]

local alins because

[ZaphodBeeblebrox]

... it couldn't Spell. :P

[Iris]

So the cat

[mannisue]

tired of it

[NASA Fan]

I looked in

[frogesque]

the walled garden

[bytheway]

only to see

[Bilateralrope]

lots of red

[paulie jay]

poisonous jelly frogs.

[David Carroll]

I ate two

[Bilateralrope]

banana's and a

[frogesque]

kryptonite frostie cupcake

[Conspiracy Cam]

Which made my.....

[David Carroll]

colon as gaseous

[Melusine]

as Tarantula Nebula,

[jfribrg]

[bad word deleted]

[tjm220]

the horrified survivors

[frogesque]

surveyed the crater

[ToSeek]

and contemplated the

[frogesque]

frequent visits to

[bytheway]

offshore drilling rigs

[NASA Fan]

where they saw

[mickal555]

some domesticated wild

[jfribrg]

and crazy guys!!!
