thus ending that chapter in what had became a life of questionable decisions.



Meanwhile back at the lighthouse

the solar battery blew up.

Moonshine wasn’t enough

roxygrl - Posted - 02/27/2020:  13:56:10

still over yonder the life-raft could yet be seen, all feet on deck! Growled the talking tiger..

Strange happenings, anyways just then..

5B-Ranch - Posted - 02/27/2020:  14:02:53

I realized that due to the consumption of tainted shine and a tiger whom I thought killed himself by jumping overboard on my recent cruise it finally dawned on me that we humans live in a matrix.

Getting out would be difficult

roxygrl - Posted - 02/27/2020:  14:19:19

lucky I had my secret how to do stuff book..
..awhile I read the text maybe someone can continue..?

Peter Vipulis - Posted - 02/27/2020:  14:29:35

my ancient-aramaic was rusty but I followed the instructions.

Clicked my heels three times

chuckv97 - Posted - 02/27/2020:  14:32:59

, threw salt over my left shoulder, and touched wood.

Nothing happened

OM45GE - Posted - 02/27/2020:  14:39:26

until I remembered the final step.

I was supposed to

Bill Rogers - Posted - 02/27/2020:  15:01:14

be wearing ruby-red slippers.

That sent me running

Peter Vipulis - Posted - 02/27/2020:  15:08:27

to the spray-paint shop.

After matching the color and clicking, I found myself

OM45GE - Posted - 02/27/2020:  16:05:28

lying on an unfamiliar bed in a room I didn’t recognize.

It had to be

5B-Ranch - Posted - 02/27/2020:  17:11:53

,no it couldn’t be, but it was. The bedroom of the sultan’s daughter, the sultan from whom the Tiger was purchased.

It’s starting to come back to me

Peter Vipulis - Posted - 02/27/2020:  17:16:41

that he buried and locked her away in here.

I picked up the rotary phone and asked for room service

5B-Ranch - Posted - 02/27/2020:  17:21:14

while contemplating my escape I ordered a grill cheese on rye with a side salad.

Now where did

Bill Rogers - Posted - 02/27/2020:  19:09:33

I leave my smart phone?

And why hadn’t I brought along

5B-Ranch - Posted - 02/27/2020:  19:23:20

my latest copy of “Coping Without Your Smartphone”

The twelve step program proved

Peter Vipulis - Posted - 02/27/2020:  19:30:07

11 of those steps weren't necessary. But then I remembered

I forgot to order a coke, so I postponed my escape

5B-Ranch - Posted - 02/27/2020:  19:35:31

and pondered the reasoning of how and why I got myself into the precarious predicament.

It wasn’t like the Sultan’s daughter

OM45GE - Posted - 02/28/2020:  03:39:48

who had no choice in the matter.

I thought I was acting

OldBlindGuy - Posted - 02/28/2020:  04:05:02

foolishly to have a side salad with grilled cheese.

But, if I ordered a cheeseburger, my vegetarian friends

OM45GE - Posted - 02/28/2020:  04:59:01

would probably get up and leave.

I would be able to eat in peace, but

chuckv97 - Posted - 02/28/2020:  05:40:17

no one would be around when I collapsed from artery blockages.

My sawbones always said

5B-Ranch - Posted - 02/28/2020:  05:58:07

you are what you eat.

I like steak

OM45GE - Posted - 02/28/2020:  06:38:01

but I don’t fancy being a cow.

For one thing,

Peter Vipulis - Posted - 02/28/2020:  07:09:56

I do enjoy the grass of the field, but only when people aren't looking.



I managed to unlock the door

5B-Ranch - Posted - 02/28/2020:  07:26:41

to my creative imagination as I transpire to wax poetically.

I always want to use that phrase in a sentence

Peter Vipulis - Posted - 02/28/2020:  09:29:00

but not in an incomplete one.

I stepped into the red carpeted hallway

chuckv97 - Posted - 02/28/2020:  10:26:11

only to find a hyphen missing.

A week-long inventory study

roxygrl - Posted - 02/28/2020:  10:38:07

finally realized there was several sandwiches short of full picknik..

My valet 007 respected my wish and..

Peter Vipulis - Posted - 02/28/2020:  11:42:52

painted the walls red to save a hyphen.

I ran as fast as I could and leapt over the moat

KyBanjo - Posted - 02/28/2020:  12:27:57

and landed flat on my arse and slid another 40 feet.

Man, talk about skid marks they

OM45GE - Posted - 02/28/2020:  13:14:43

will be plucking sand in out of my derrière for weeks to come.

Not only that, but I

Peter Vipulis - Posted - 02/28/2020:  13:27:31

had never ridden a camel. I only watched Conan the Barbarian punch one out.

So I stood next to the camel and wound up

roxygrl - Posted - 02/28/2020:  13:44:53

groggy and brainless seeing in the distance a waterless mirage..

.. disrobing down to my birthday suit..

5B-Ranch - Posted - 02/28/2020:  14:16:14

not knowing the grammar police would follow.

Being this is just a game and who’s keeping score anyway

chuckv97 - Posted - 02/28/2020:  14:35:21

let’s throw out ALL the rules.

Just be careful about

Peter Vipulis - Posted - 02/28/2020:  14:59:24

ancient incantations in dead languages.

Which this leather-skinned man began chanting

roxygrl - Posted - 02/28/2020:  15:10:37

dingbat-dongbat! it happened eventually he solved the puzzle..

later back at quiz office

chuckv97 - Posted - 02/28/2020:  16:32:06

the riddler, Frank Gorshin, was riddled with cooties.

His solution

Bill Rogers - Posted - 02/28/2020:  18:03:20

Was permethrin lotion.

Nothing like bug poison to

5B-Ranch - Posted - 02/28/2020:  18:47:37

 give you Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.



Maybe the spelling is incorrect but a least the hyphen doesn’t feel neglected 

Edited by - 5B-Ranch on 02/28/2020 18:49:54

Bill Rogers - Posted - 02/28/2020:  19:17:10

at least hyphenthetically.

That brings us back to Kate Turabian, who

Peter Vipulis - Posted - 02/28/2020:  20:06:33

anyone, who's anyone, will need to google.

Did you know the keyboard letters are arranged to slow you down sothe hammers don't get bunched up on manual one? Whew I'm tired

Bill Rogers - Posted - 02/28/2020:  21:35:56

of dealing with esoteric references and obsolete typing equipment.

Why don’t we embark upon

chuckv97 - Posted - 02/28/2020:  21:41:59

a relaxing journey on a slow boat to China.

Perhaps it will be there that

roxygrl - Posted - 02/29/2020:  03:44:50

..the first ever verbal decider 'tween the 'hyphen' and the 'question mark' other attendees will include all regular keyboard characters.

my bets on..

OM45GE - Posted - 02/29/2020:  03:46:40

we learn to use all the features on our smartphones.

I’m mystified

chuckv97 - Posted - 02/29/2020:  03:49:45

by Apple and Mac.

My new purchases are Gala and Delicious

OM45GE - Posted - 02/29/2020:  03:59:14

First I need to
