message 853: by Cam (last edited Jun 25, 2012 04:36PM) (new)

Cam | 2652 comments decided to put drops of poison into the groom's wine before axing his head off. The bride became excitable after watching the grooms head fall to the first shelf holding a wedding cake. The rampent and windswept marriage was short lived. Afterall you cant marry a man with no head.

Blood
Guts
Axe
Eyes
Veil


message 854: by Val (new)

Val (valz) | 1542 comments Well, it used to be that you couldn't marry a man with no head. Now all you need is a pineapple covered with a "veil" and the "guts" to pull it off. Make sure to wipe up the "blood" before walking down the aisle. All "eyes" will be on you and not the oddly propped up groom who is mysteriously wearing a veil. Just don't forget to hide the "axe."

Oh, and don't forget the PREMARITAL AGREEMENT, because all bad cop theories begin with a MOTIVE of GREED and/or MONEY....

Inspector Clouseau
Alibi

T (twoo) < nudge >


message 858: by S.M. (new)

S.M. | 32005 comments Looks like we might need to call in "Inspector Clouseau" to help "solve" this mystery. The "alibi" doesn't sound solid and the suspect doesn't seem to "mourn" the victim. "Subtle" questions will be needed.

Legion
Clutter
Please
Ruddy
Extreme


aPriL does feral sometimes  (cheshirescratch) | 1296 comments A legion of vampires trod into the church. A ruddy faced police officer, irritated, spoke. "Clear the room, please," "Sorry, officer. But the groom is ours. We take care of our clutter. Sparkling can be a bit extreme for morgue tables." "How can you be here?" said the minister. "The bride committed murder here." sneered the beautiful man, licking shiny teeth. "Well," sighed the policeman with satisfaction. "Murder was NOT done, because the groom was already dead! We can go." "Damn it," said the bride.

Muscles
Gravely
Oysters
Vibrates
Enchantment


message 860: by T (new)

T (twoo) The minister GRAVELY observed the MUSCLES on the dead-as-a-doorknob groom, when all of a sudden the corpse VIBRATES and the smell of OYSTERS permeated the church. The vampires snickered while the cops and the minister stared in ENCHANTMENT.

Criminal
Obsession
Compulsive
Bloody
Noseless


aPriL does feral sometimes  (cheshirescratch) | 1296 comments "This is criminal!" screamed the bride. "I want his head for my wall!" "She's compulsive," said the groom's head from the floor. "Oh, excuse me, Todd." said the tall, beautiful man, picking up Todd's head and putting it back on the body's neck. Todd sat up. "Where's my nose?" They found it under a pew. "I hope you don't have an obsession about dirt." said Joshua, the tall man, dusting the nose off. "If you are, you'll have to go noseless." "Bloody hell," said Todd, putting his nose back. "I hate you!" said Cindy, the bride. "Now l'll have to buy a stupid clock!" Joshua sniffed. "Next time, Todd, get a cat."

Spinning
Futile
Grimace
Horse
Squalor


message 862: by T (last edited Jul 01, 2012 10:10AM) (new)

T (twoo) The heads were SPINNING at this FUTILE attempt at simple crime. With a GRIMACE, the minister compared the insanity to the SQUALOR left by a HORSE with serious indigestion.

Nightmare
Simile
Metaphor
Hologram
Terror


aPriL does feral sometimes  (cheshirescratch) | 1296 comments "Get out!" yelled the minister. Joshua and Todd strolled outside. "That was a nightmare. Next time, I might not get there soon enough. Hungry?" asked Joshua. "Starved," grinned Todd. Cindy ran up, swinging her ax. Todd fainted in terror. Joshua waved his hands and stared hypnotically. Cindy froze. "Riddle me this - do you know the difference between a simile and a metaphor?" Josh joshed. Cindy started to mumble something about the moon being like a hologram, but Joshua decided on a quick bite to eat after all.

Revive
Liberate
Cobbling
Corrode
Honeymoon


message 864: by Cam (new)

Cam | 2652 comments Since Joshua decided to "revive" Todd, and Todd's head was functioning fairly well, he felt like "cobbling". He would "liberate" Cindy from her fate, but there would be no "honeymoon" to Siberia. Will this story "corrode" or continue on he wondered.

future
children
taxi
amazement
darkness


message 865: by S.M. (new)

S.M. | 32005 comments Will "future" "children" listen in "amazement" at the "darkness" that happened here tonight? I don't know I just need a "taxi" to get me out of this church.

Abe
Stalker
Green
Lightening
Blowing


message 866: by T (new)

T (twoo) BLOWING chunks, the man who could be Honest "ABE"'s descendant, decided that a life of a STALKER was not for him, not even with a cool name like GREEN LIGHTENING and neon spandex.

Taxidermist
Armadillo
Bonsai
Coupe d'etat
Smorgasbord


message 867: by Cam (new)

Cam | 2652 comments Todd noticed the "armadillo" ate too much at the "smorgasbord" and his stomach exploded near the karate kid's "bonsai's" tree. Todd found a "taxidermist" to preserve the armadillo which had been the government's official country animal, but was now overthrown by the "coupe d'etat". (Using T's words keeps me looking in the dictionary.)

spy
electric
kick boxing
antique
fear


message 868: by S.M. (new)

S.M. | 32005 comments Todd always wanted to be a "kick boxing" "spy". His "fear" level is really low since he is an "antique" undead. He remembers the "Electric" Slide. (no one else here remembers that)

Glove
Hail
Zombie
Sordid
Slum


message 869: by T (new)

T (twoo) Joshua, on the other hand, ZOMBIE Extraordinaire, was bent on channeling Michael Jackson with the glittery GLOVE raised in a HAIL to the SORDID SLUM-lovin' masses.

Casket
Heart
3 Dog Night
Zipper
Morgue


aPriL does feral sometimes  (cheshirescratch) | 1296 comments Joshua and Todd regrouped at the morgue. "Why are you carrying a stuffed armadillo?" asked Joshua. "I thought it would make a nice pet," smiled Todd. "I'm not sure I did the right thing giving you the dark gift," mused Joshua, as he picked up a empty coffin. "You will need this. I've got a lot to teach you." Todd picked up a body bag. The zipper opened and a body fell out. "Look! It's Cindy" he cried. "Put it back. Her heart has stopped." groused Joshua. "You don't need a body bag anyway. Why did you want one?" "Don't we sleep inside of them?" asked Todd, his simple face turning pale. Joshua slapped Todd upside his head. "We are getting you a coffin! That's all you need! Geesh! I knew acquiring a YA was going to be a trial - but you were so fresh!" Todd hung his head. "I like 3 Dog Night, too, like you." Joshua said, "ok, ok. Pick up the other end of the coffin. Let's go." Suddenly, two attendants walked in the swinging doors. They stared.


Bloodbath
Salient
Conchs
Consensus
Alternative


message 871: by T (new)

T (twoo) Having just come from a BLOODBATH, the SALIENT details of which were not lost on the two attendants, Josh & Todd's came to a virtual CONSENSUS that the best ALTERNATIVE to a confrontation with the morgue attendants would include some place where they could practice their musical circular breathing talents on local CONCHS.

Speedo
Garlic
Samoyed
Rum
Germane


message 872: by Kaye (new)

Kaye George I'm posting this so maybe my selection to not get these emails will work, although this hasn't worked in the past.


aPriL does feral sometimes  (cheshirescratch) | 1296 comments Todd snapped his speedo. "The girls will love this." Josh looked at his protege incredulously. "Before or after they spray you with garlic and stake you?" exclaimed Josh. "I didn't think that was germane," Todd said. "I was thinking how cool I look since the Change." Josh snorted. "Yeah, the Samoyed look is big this year. I would rather have a glass of rum."

Hip
Hinge
Hike
Hosiery
Hepatic


message 874: by T (new)

T (twoo) Todd sputtered, thinking he was on the HINGE of being HIP and old Josh could just pull up his HOSIERY over that HEPATIC vein and take a HIKE.

Garulous
Sympathetic
Derision
Cogent
Mortal


message 875: by S.M. (last edited Jul 08, 2012 01:15PM) (new)

S.M. | 32005 comments Joe didn't want to call Todd a nerd since that would be a term of "derision". Todd's "garrulous" bragging was not a "cogent" or convincing rant. Joe was trying to be "sympathetic" since Todd was just a "mortal" not long ago.

Hooky
Hokey
Hockey
Hollow
Holy


message 876: by T (new)

T (twoo) Trying to be respectful of the church, Todd decided it would be kind of HOKEY to play HOOKY on his wedding and play HOCKEY in the HOLY building, so he motioned Joe and the rest of the vampires out to a nearby HOLLOW for a game of vampires against ghoulies, with a spare skull as the puck.

Frightful
Standard
Colossal
Eczema
Bananas


message 877: by Cam (new)

Cam | 2652 comments Todd developed "eczema" from eating too many "bananas". He looked so "frightful" he scared the vampires away. There was a "colossal" grave of dead vampires but who knows when they would walk again amongst the living dead heads? His "standard" life insurance policy was denyed because he wasn't officially dead.

Mystery
garlic
Baby
Vacation
Candle


message 878: by T (new)

T (twoo) It's a MYSTERY to Todd, why GARLIC is supposed to scare away vampires, he thought a wailing BABY while on a supposedly relaxing VACATION would be more effective, but then what did he know, he had a startling craving for a candle to munch on at the moment.

Pickles
Exhume
Michael Jackson
Wormholes
Katydid


message 879: by aPriL does feral sometimes (last edited Jul 11, 2012 11:30AM) (new)

aPriL does feral sometimes  (cheshirescratch) | 1296 comments Todd couldn't find a candle and he wondered if sucking on a pickle would work. Joshua burst in their hotel room as Todd was giving the Room Service guy a tip for delivering the pickles. Joshua stared incredulously as Todd put the pickle in his mouth. Todd smiled. "Did you notice that guy looked like Michael Jackson?" Joshua pulled the pickle out of Todd's mouth and slapped him. "Did someone exhume your brain while you were changing? If you don't shape up, I'm going to drop you into a wormhole!" Todd looked resentfully at Joshua, rubbing his white bloodless cheek, then started. "Wormholes? On earth?" Joshua rolled his eyes. "I think I'm going to send you out to hunt for a fairy riding a katydid until you figure out what vampires do. Pickles!" "Well, I want to suck SOMETHING!" Todd whined. "Is it a fairy?" Joshua decided to toss Todd out their 20-story high window.

Bloodsucking
Hunting
Bats
Chiaroscuro
Modification


message 880: by S.M. (last edited Jul 11, 2012 04:44PM) (new)

S.M. | 32005 comments After hitting the sidewalk below the hotel, Todd thought everything looked like a "Chiaroscuro". "Modification" of his senses seemed to be happening quickly. He still wasn't sure what he was suppose to do, but knew that pickles were not what he was suppose to be "hunting." He saw "bats" flying out of the 20th floor windows and was surprised to see it was Joshua and the others. "Let's take you on your first 'bloodsucking' adventure", Joshua said.


Plasma
Volunteer
Bite
Cold
Avenue


message 881: by T (new)

T (twoo) The vamps let Todd in on a little secret: go VOLUNTEER at a blood bank and you can get free PLASMA! You don't get to BITE, though, and the blood might be COLD but it's a whole wide AVENUE of blood, blood, blood!

Location
Diet
Turnips
Snickers
Potent




message 882: by Cam (last edited Jul 12, 2012 06:07AM) (new)

Cam | 2652 comments Todd thought he saw "turnips" rising up from a newly dugged grave, but it turned out to be a deadman's hand. The deadman's blood was very "potent" and convenient since the "location" of the blood bank was ten miles away. Since he was on a "diet" Todd remembered that blood has very little calories. "I live such a happy life." Todd stated outloud to himself as he threw out the six-pack of "snickers" bars he had in his pocket.

Realize
Trouble
Horror
Litter
Bug


message 883: by S.M. (new)

S.M. | 32005 comments The "horror" of being a "litter" "bug" made Todd "realize" he needed to pick up the Snickers Bars he threw out. He could have been in a lot of "trouble" if a policeman had been standing nearby.


Dollar
Dollop
Doppler
Dottle
Doodle


message 884: by T (new)

T (twoo) The DOTTLE of drool became a DOLLOP, as Todd salivated over the soiled Snickers bar. He'd used his last DOLLAR to buy it, and there was no more cash coming according to his DOPPLER radar. He decided perhaps he could DOODLE his drool around into an artwork worth buying.

Smooch
Smirk
Smell
Smoke
Smile


message 885: by Cam (new)

Cam | 2652 comments His newly finished artwork of Jack the Ripper's mother had no Mona Lisa "smile" so it wasn't worth very much. A rich man came along and offered Todd a "smoke". With a "smirk" on his face Todd grabbed the cigar. Posh, the homeless bull-dog terrier, gave Todd a big sloppy "smooch" on his cheek. Todd started to cry.

why
pie
sigh
my
dry


message 886: by S.M. (new)

S.M. | 32005 comments Todd gave a 'sigh',"I really wanted 'pie' but all I got was 'my' face washed by a big ugly dog. 'Why' does everything happen to me?" He picked up a hankerchief that the man dropped and decided he should "dry" his face.

Claim
Clam
Clap
Class
Clamp


message 887: by T (new)

T (twoo) Of course the bull terrier heard that, and was just about to CLAMP down on ol' Todd's nether regions when Todd thought better of it and tried to CLAIM he was talking about another dog the day before and decided it was high time that he CLAM up. The vampire entourage, CLASS act that they were, began to sarcastically CLAP at Todd's woeful performance.

Virgin
Oz
Spaniard
Colossal
Snuff


message 888: by Cam (last edited Jul 18, 2012 06:49AM) (new)

Cam | 2652 comments Todd hit his head on the wall trying to keep the terrier from digging into his face. He knocked himself out and dreamt of the Wizard of "Oz" and a "Spaniard" from the old country. Along came a three hundred pound elderly lady holding a paper bag, in which a large bottle of extra "Virgin" olive oil and her container of "snuff" fell out of. Yes it was just another "colossal" uneventful day in the life of Todd.

dress
spit
ugh

message 889: by T (new)

T (twoo) The vison of loveliness hiked her DRESS and SPIT like a sailor, watching the spittle FALL on to Todd's NECK. UGH, he thought, while the Vamps were truly glad she did not hit them as garlic was oozing out of her monstrous pores.

aPriL does feral sometimes  (cheshirescratch) | 1296 comments Joshua was out on one of his sporadic walks through Todd's territory, checking up on his protege. Spotting Todd, covered in sputum, sitting next to a wall, with two dogs howling and trying to bite Todd, with a very very large woman sprinkling Virgin oil on him, he wondered if Todd really was the same species as himself. Sighing, he waded into the spectacular disaster. First Joshua growled at the dogs. Horrified, they whined, crouched and ran for their lives. Then he stared at the woman. Hypnotized, she turned to him. "Go away," Joshua advised. She stumbled off. Todd stood up gratefully. "Thank you..." he started. Joshua snarled, "Shut up, you pathetic specimum!" Suddenly, a vision in a calico coat sashayed onto the scene. "Somebody mention speculum?" April purred. Todd and Joshua stared. She pulled out her cellphone. "I gotta call my Fems! You two look like you need some companions." Joshua said, "you and your friends will be very welcome, indeed."

Rescue
Bloodlust
Gothic
Pickles
Speculation


message 892: by S.M. (new)

S.M. | 32005 comments "Speculation" was that the graceful vision was some sort of demon. No one that beautiful could be human. Todd's "bloodlust" had gotten him in trouble before and needed to have Joshua "rescue" him. The "gothic" vision pulled out a "pickle" and started sucking the juice from the dill.

Young
Rice
Classic
Imp
Swoop


message 893: by T (new)

T (twoo) April, "young" "imp" that she is, attempted to "swoop" down and dump a bowl of "classic" chicken and "rice" soup on the head of our young confused stud-muffin.

aPriL does feral sometimes  (cheshirescratch) | 1296 comments "What's wrong with you, mortal?" screeched Todd. "Are you missing a quotient from your brain, as in intelligence?" Joshua sent a look towards Todd that would have scorched his tail feathers if Todd had any. "Please excuse my idiot cousin. Is that a pickle you are sucking?" he asked with steller savoir-faire. April batted her excessively lush eyelashes and smiled deceptively passive. "My friends T, Sheila, and Cam are coming right now. T, in particular knows something about sin functions and maybe about derivatives calculated to differentiate exponently from the expected behavior." Todd dribbled some soup onto his shirt. Joshua grinned. A glow cat stuck his nose out of April's coat. "Oh, Raspberry Jam!" exclaimed April. "I forgot you were there. Give our new friends a Raspberry welcome!"

Moist
Maternity
Marsupial
Marathon
Malfeasance


message 895: by T (new)

T (twoo) RJ, ever since he left the "maternity" ward for wayward kitties, laid a "moist" wet one on Todd. Confused as always, Todd thought RJ was a "marsupial" and tried to look for a pouch, resulting in a a "marathon" tussle, which, had the Mayor of Loonytunes been present and ignored the attack on RJ, would have constituted an act of "malfeasance".

Cam | 2652 comments Don't turn me into a vampire Sheila cried outloud while having a "nightmare". The "urbane" legend has everyone eating "organic" food and "exotic" fruit. All this nutritional food will keep your "sanity" which we will need in order to keep on playing the goodreads games.

message 897: by T (new)

T (twoo) At Sheila's distress, "T" cackled with outrageous sinister "laughter", while easily removing the "knife" from Todd, who was attempting to hold T's "Gumby" hostage.

Gumbo
Beignet
Bullwinkle
Heatwave
Tickle


message 898: by Cam (new)

Cam | 2652 comments Bullwinkle and T are related because they have the same style hairdos. During a heatwave you can eat a beignet because you can sweat it off. Dont tickle a live gumbo or it will stab you in the back.

S.M. | 32005 comments As dangerous as a live gumbo is a "dead" one is worse. "Why" "fish" is involved in gumbo has always been a question that "amazed" me. Do they catch those fish in the Mississippi "River"?

Okra
Double
Duke
Bourbon
Heat


message 900: by T (new)

T (twoo) Crawfish in gumbo, are they really fish? Sure it's not the slimy "okra" you're thinking of? Have a "double" "bourbon" and go the theatre to catch a "Duke" movie to get out of the "heat" and neither the crawfish, okra or gumbo will matter!
