Nothing comes to mind. The phone rings. It's Gary Olson.
"Ohhh, 'bout 13! Akadakadakadakada!!!!" Gary screams and hangs up.
"Oh FUCK THIS STUPID STORY! I'm gonna go play Faxanadu and listen to Peter
Cetera!"
---I've known this person long enough to know who wrote it. This makes little (or no)
sense to most of you, but he capitalized on his prior knowledge of me to make me
laugh, which was pretty smart. There's actually kind of a story here, albeit a dumb one.
He only had a few minutes to write this, which I suppose kinda shows. 3 points (Nick,
Brown Street Elite)
~MacGyver was once commissioned by Haliburton for a super duper top secret mission,
"Operation DT". He was to produce the world's most deadly assassin using recycled
aluminum, hand-me-down organs, a twice baked potato, and of course, his trusty duct
tape. After 12 long years, the impossible became possible, and thus, came into
existence the phenomenon we call "Chuck Norris"
---Uh-oh, Chuck Norris has wriggled into my game. As sad as that makes me, I did roll
my eyes at the end of this, and it was a good sort of eye-roll. It's a funny payoff and
this too is an actual story. I was legitimately interested in the payoff, and I can't ask a
whole lot more than that. I'll give it a 4 (Chad Paul, Brown Street Elite)
~ the dreams were becoming more real than life. After mastering the "dreamwaking"
technique Grey began to lose the life around him. He had to wake for basic substance.
He felt close to a break though in consciously taping into the subconscious to reveal its
strengths when death took him anyway. Grey had chased his dreams without making
any movement.
---Very vague. Hmm. I like what's here—it's nice writing—but this seems to be part of
a larger story rather than its own complete one. Not a ton of substance but great style,
so it's 3 points (Mike Battista, Enigmatic Southern Gentlemen)
As advertised, the South has indeed risen again. They were really smokin' on this
challenge and won it 3/5/4/5=17 to 3/2/4/3=12, sending yet another of the Elite,
whose team name has really grown on me now that they're half dead, out of the game.
The Brown Street Elite and The Best Westerns have until Friday afternoon at 3pm
Central to send their elimination votes to the space; as before, the one non-entry will
not vote but get three self-imposed votes. Cheers to all.
Oh, and I always forget to throw the tiebreaker thing down here. If there are any ties
as to who gets voted out, the tiebreaker is performance in this challenge (whoever got
the higher 1-5 score will continue in the game). Further tiebreakers will be addressed
should we run into any.
