Never Ending Story

[ScrappySam]

A gamelift from another board:

This is a little different from the other games we have going. The idea is that I will start off the story with a line or two and leave the ending open ... the next person to come along will add their bit ... and so on ... this can lead to some pretty funny 'events' ...

I hope you will all enjoy playing along ...

Lola just got home from her 2-week vacation. She has laundry to do, the refrigerator needs to be filled, plants need watering, but there are those 337 vacation photos sitting in her new digital camera. Wanting just a quick peek at the pictures, Lola heads to her scraping room (you knew that was coming). When all of a sudden ....

++++++ will add to the story in a bit but just wanted to tell you.... this is a game my hubby told me to add in great minds think a like. thought it was funny.++++

[Janice]

She dropped her camera and the batteries feel out. The phone rang, there was a knock at the door and as she turns around she bumps in to the side table which falls on to the plant next to is and tumbles down the stars. After she picks up the batteries and answers the door, she hears a ........

...baby crying. So she runs back upstairs, leaving the vacuum cleaner salesman at the door holding the batteries. She finds the baby in the middle of the bathroom floor. The mischevious child and the bathroom are completely covered in shampoo and baby powder. She grabs the baby and into the tub he goes. She is elbow deep in goopy bath water when in walks...

...the vacuum cleaner salesman. He was wondering what to do with the batteries but now that he has her cornered in the bathroom he sees it as his perfect opportunity to demonstrate his new, ultra-powerful vacuum. He plugs it in & turns on the switch when...

wakes up from her strange nightmare. Shaken by her dream experience and drenched in sweat, Lola glances at the clock. It's only 4 am and Lola is fully awake. She decides she might as well get up - there's no time like the present to ....

[Darlene]

check that camera again...oh no, she just remembered... she handed the batteries to the the vacuum cleaner salesman...did he take them with him?...

[Atty]

No she thinks to herself I was dreaming. I must have tossed the old ones. She goes to the refrig to get new batteries for the camera. Now the camera is ready to download the photos, she sits at the computer, turns it on and sees that......

she has a bunch messages on her startascrapbook message board. The messages are from 10 different women wondering where their swap stuff is, it should have been sent out 2 weeks ago. She takes the time to reply to each one by telling them....

[*Chriscraft*]

a really long story about the mailman,salesman, and the milkman..which, once she sees it on print..realizes how silly it all sounds and reaches for her really large glass of diet coke that she poured for herself and suddenly starts laughing hysterically which her daughter hears from the next room and rushes to check on her and crashes into the vacuum cleaner that the sales man had left for her to try and as she rolled over her eyes couldnt beleive that....

[sbartist]

there was a hole in the vacuum cleaner bag and baby powder was flying out of the hole and dusting the entire room with a fine layer of white powder. She can't believe this isn't a dream and calls the number on the business card left by the vacuum cleaner salesman and who answers the phone, but ...

[*Chriscraft*]

Mrs. Sanders the lady whos husband backed into my husbands cars and took off thinking that we wouldnt recognize her...but living in such a small town you get to know many peoples faces..even though you may not know all their names!! They must have had caller ID because, she was very nervous on the phone, and that was quite apparent because as I was introducing myself she starting in a loud screech......

[ScrappySam]

"Lola, don't even think about accusing my Harold of damaging your car - it's time you got a new car anyway but we're not paying for it. Plus, just one more accident and the insurance company will take away our policy and one more thing, Lola, I loved all the scrappy things you left for me, dear, all those cards came in very handy just last week, but what the heck are tags? Are you expecting me to give you some presents to put them on? - after all there are 50 tags sitting here"

Of course, Lola was confussed and at a loss for words (a circumstance that rarely occurs) there was very little damage to the car and had sold it before the trip and the Mrs. Harold wasn't in her swap. What to do? What to do? Then Lola had a brain storm and said," .......

[judyjay]

I will send you gifts for all of the tags. They will be small gifts, of course, but you must wrap them, add the tag, and send them all to American Idol Gives Back. That way the poverty stricken children in Africa & the US will have exactly what they need with my ......

[Leona_Lynne]

generous donation of scrapbook supplies. Well, Lola isn't the most thoughtful of people! Her neighbors think she is pretty weird, being the only person in the 1950's (milkman?) to have a computer. So she hops back into her time machine and sets the date for 2098 and off she goes. She opens the door to find...

[sbartist]

Oh noooooooo, I have so many tags I just don't know what to do. They are very pretty though. And my batteries, where did they go? Lola thought to herself, my batteries should still be running shouldn't they? I thought I saw the pink (for Ziggeyor) Energizer Bunny go by banging his drum with my batteries in his back. What's a girl to do? Could Mrs. Sanders be the culprit and that is why she was so evasive on the phone? Or could it...

[bitaglitz]

Mrs. Sanders fumbling with her excess amount of tags wondering what she should do with them. "How did you get, here", asked Lola in a jolted and shocked manner. Mrs. Sanders replied that she had inadvertently dropped her energiezer batteries into her purse and suddenly found herself being propelled into and through a time warp, landing here on her feet clutching her bag of tags.

Now what is one to do when suddenly you are thrown into the presence of someone you were suspicious of yet, you are both in uncertain and unfamiliar circumstanes, together? Do you put aside your dislike for the other and strive to work together toward a common goal, or do you proudfully reject any possible means in which to couple with the other? And what about the tags and scrapbook supplies? Can they be the 'tie that binds' in this situation?

[Cass17]

****I'm not contributing because I'm not good at writing, but it's hysterical to read through!****

[judyjay]

Yes, the tags are the tie that binds. While Lola was looking at all of Mrs. Sanders tags, she was making a mess with them & they all started gettting tangled together. Now they are all tangled around both Lola's & Mrs. Sanders arms. They are looking for some scissors to cut themselves out but can't find any because everything is so futuristic that they don't really recognize anything. Mrs. Sanders says, " Well, I guess we will just have to....

[sbartist]

Use our teeth to free us from the tangled tags. It was then Lola spotted a Tagger across the room and came up with the idea to make earrings. Mrs. Sanders became Lola's model and she proceeded to use the Tagger to adhere the tag through her pierced ears. After the first ear was pierced with the Tagger, Mrs. Sanders...

fainted! That's when the movie director yelled, "Cut!" I said, "Cut! This scene is just not working for me! 10 minute break for everyone NOW!" and stormed off the set. In a huff Lola (character and stage name - who knew) ran to her dressing room in tears, muttering ...

[ScrappySam]

liar, liar pants on fire! And being the super Mom she is, Lola reminded her daughter that "sticks and stones may break your bones but words will never hurt you". "Hmmmmm", thought Lola maybe I should rethink that singing career and write a song about sticks, stones and ......
