S.M. | 32005 comments The "postal" service will not ship "pot roast" even though the correct postage is on the box. Todd tried to send the meat and "Cheetos" to his family but Josh told him he wasnt' allowed to contact them. It could be a "calamity" if they found out he was now an undead. Since Todd no longer is able to eat the Cheetos he decided to smash them and ended up with very "orange" fingers.

Crude
Growl
Doppelganger
Sweets

message 902: by T (new)

T (twoo) A "crude" "growl" arose from Josh at the sight of Todd's "Doppelganger", a "lover" of a fella, bearing "sweets".

Arabesque
Anthem
Antler
Anathema
Anatoly


message 903: by S.M. (new)

S.M. | 32005 comments An "arabesque" is "anathema" to Josh. He was trained in ballet and was glad not to have to salute that "anthem" anymore.He would rather run around with an "antler" around his behind or change his name to "Anatoly" than dance again.


conjugate
chelate
cleavage
concentration
collodion


message 904: by T (new)

T (twoo) With great 'concentration', Todd attempted to 'conjugate' the verb "conjugate'in pig latin, in order to take his mind off the lack of 'cleavage' in his companions. It was that or contemplate how to get the collodion to chelate, and Todd figured pig latin was easier....

Scrawny
Screaming
Scranton
Screwy
Script-worthy


message 905: by S.M. (new)

S.M. | 32005 comments Even though the whole situation was "screwy" and "script-worthy", Todd couldn't figure out what to do about the lack of breasts in his life at the moment. When he lived in "Scranton" he had no trouble finding "screaming" "scrawny" females hanging onto his pantleg.

S.M. | 32005 comments story has stalled


message 907: by T (new)

T (twoo) Scrawny females that shrieked like OSPREY in an OPERA, WILTING like helpless maidens or were they attempting to WALLOW like piggies in a mud zone? Todd hated when his pant legs got muddy!

Scissors
Perturbed
Elicit
Illicit
Murderous

(feel free to reset the story line as you wish!)


message 908: by T (new)

T (twoo) Reset.....New story line....

Sally was a tad "perturbed" and as usual,that would "elicit" the running with "scissors" behavior that often was a precursor to "illicit" or "murderous" intentions.

Borzoi
Grassy
Gassy
Passe
Moribund


message 909: by Michele (last edited Sep 06, 2012 07:50AM) (new)

Michele Brenton (banana_the_poet) | 31 comments The "Borzoi" sat quietly emitting odours "gassy",
Sally'd found the Charcoal tablets cure a waste of time and "passe,"
So it seemed a good idea to walk it somewhere wild and "grassy."
But as they strolled its insides popped and the dog was sadly "moribund"
and Sally wept beside her pet, now a deceased and rather gory hound.

T (twoo) Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Next 5 words, Michele?

Michele Brenton (banana_the_poet) | 31 comments OO yes - sorry.

Donation

Toilet

message 912: by S.M. (new)

S.M. | 32005 comments Since the hound loved "Tomato" soup she decided to give a "donation" of soup to the food bank. First she needed to stop at the "toilet". The seat had "cushions" and she was so comfortable she didn't want to leave. The store sent an "emissary" to find out why the toilet was locked for so long.

Grim
Mission
Burial
Blonde
Spy


message 913: by T (new)

T (twoo) The emissary's "grim" "mission" to dethrone the toilet camper was suspended by a televised broadcast of the "burial" of a comely "blonde" "spy" who looked amazingly like the Queen of England.

Scandalous
Scanty
Scads
Scepter
Scintillating


message 914: by Cam (new)

Cam | 2652 comments As this "scanty" and "scandalous" story still continues, there are "scads" of sentences which I haven't read as the "scepter" is looking over my shoulder and is holding something odd in his hand ready to kill me while I am looking in the dictionary as to what "scintillating" means. (Do people still use dictionaries?) PS: I thought maybe Todd would have killed himself by this time. Just kidding!

Fumes


message 917: by T (new)

T (twoo) The emissary sent to dethrone the bereaved Sally came equipped with a "rope", a "gun", "pills" and a smoke bomb, with which he thought might emit enough "fumes" to smoke our gal out....If all those failed, the emissary feared he would be sent over the "cliff" with a hard shove to his keister.

Funeral
Plot
Handiwipes
Borzoi #2
Siggy


message 918: by Cam (new)

Cam | 2652 comments "Siggy" and "Borzoi #2" used several "handiwipes" to help clean the pants of their keisters after they decided to slide down the muddy mountain. The "plot" of the story is unknown at this time and there will be no "funeral" for the emissary.

message 919: by T (new)

T (twoo) Our "mystery" "continues" to meander along, much to the "shocked" audience's chagrin, not knowing of the "bacteria" secreted in the false "smile" plastered upon their faces.

Bingo


aPriL does feral sometimes  (cheshirescratch) | 1296 comments Fluffy, a very silly cat, who recently was taught to read by the amazing Kitty, a calico of prodigious talents, thought the bloody story of an exploding dog was so much fun he pissed himself laughing. "God, I'm a booby!" he snarled in dismay. "If the fellas catch me like this, they'll burn my Tomcat Association Membership!" Kitty pussyfooted quietly behind me, sniffed and looked, and with a curled lip said, "Omg. Did you dribble all over what's left of your basket, or are you burnt on the bum with ammonia!" she snickered. Fluffy howled, "You're not being fair! We are never to talk about that operation!" Kitty raised her eyebrows, then huge smile broke over her face. "Bingo wants to ask you some questions about that. His owner is taking him to the vet tomorrow." Fluffy stopped tonguing himself in mid-leg lift. He stared at her in complete misery, tongue sticking out, leg up, speechless. Kitty calmly began washing her face. Suddenly, Todd flew into the room, saw the cats, and shouted, "Josh! I just got an idea how to meet more hot blooded women! They love cats right?" Josh strolled ino the house. "Do you smell pee?" Kitty and Fluffy raced out of the house, not trusting vampires further than a mouse with a gun. Todd checked his trousers. Josh clouted him one. "Vampires don't pee idiot. Now, where is the lady of the house?" Josh asked. "T? She's she was outside putting her garbage in the neighbor's cans," Todd said, rubbing his ear. "A good sign," said Josh. "I like morally efficient women."

message 921: by Cam (new)

Cam | 2652 comments The "school children" were trying to "decipher" their "mathematics". Matilda had a crush on Todd and over did the application of her velvet red lipstick, trying to attract Todd's attention. It was Todd's "conjecture" that the red lipstick was blood and latched out to attack Matilda.

aPriL does feral sometimes  (cheshirescratch) | 1296 comments "Eeeeeek!" screamed Matilda. "Where's the antibiotics? Quick! That stupid Todd bit me again!" As she raced for the hospital, she stepped on Kitty. Kitty screeched, leaped up and landed on Todd. Her claws opened up Todd's lip, causing a fountain of fresh blood to spout out. "Eeeeeeek!" screamed Todd, as horrible as fingernails on a blackboard. He raced after Matilda, looking for another bite. Matilda, hearing his footsteps, looked back and saw him. While still running, she pulled out her scissors from he bag. "I love you, Todd, but I'm going to kill you if you bite me on the lip again!" she screamed angrily. "Another bloody fat lip!" She ran by the children, but as Todd raced by a few moments later, the children tossed their math book between his legs and he fell into the street. A semi-truck smashed into him, throwing him 50 feet into the top of a tree. Fluffy and Todd stared at each other. Then Fluffy sprayed him.

Microscopic

Terrifying
Classic
Inescapable


message 923: by Cam (new)

Cam | 2652 comments Well, it's another "classic" and "terrifying" tale--Todd has been "inescapable" even after being hit by a semi and will live forever since he has gotten a taste of Matilda's fine velvet blood. The antibiotics will not kill Matilda's "microscopic" germs but she also has a good "prospect" of living forever, seeking people's blood.

aPriL does feral sometimes  (cheshirescratch) | 1296 comments Todd and Joshua lurked outside of the hospital. "Matilda has to be in the waiting room. They never get to you faster than that." said Todd, stroking Fluffy's fur. Joshua grimaced. "I keep smelling pee. Why does it seem to be you?" Todd shuffled his feet, and Fluffy extended his claws, then Todd said, "Never mind that. I never got to explain things to Matilda. We can't let a doctor see her. But how do we get her out of there?" Joshua, annoyed, stepped back from the stinking vampire. "You REALLY smell vile! You've got small branches in your hair, and one of your teeth is broken!" then Josh slapped his forehead. "You can go in there! You're hurt! Give me that cat! Where the hell did you get it, anyway! He doesn't seem to like you much." Todd handed the cat over sheepishly. "It's a long story. And he does like me. He claimed me for his by anointing me with his special secret sauce..." Joshua sniffed.

message 925: by Cam (new)

Cam | 2652 comments More "havoc" is still to come as secret "embedded" chips were placed in Matilda's wounds. "Smugglers" were trying to catch the roaming cats who were visiting the old folks. Matilda felt that was a nice "gesture" because she was getting sick of them anyway. She found an "alternative" route out of the hospital--the underground tunnel.

aPriL does feral sometimes  (cheshirescratch) | 1296 comments Matilda laughed to herself as she raced down the tunnel because she realized she had no idea if she meant she was sick of cats, old people or smugglers, earlier. All she knew she felt better except for a curious occasional buzzing sound from behind her ear. Could she have been given an implant or chip, like in a movie? Ridiculous, she thought. Then, she stopped. Was that a squeak? It struck her there could be rats, bats, spiders - she was in an underground tunnel. Behind her, she heard a scrabbling sound. Then a loud meow. Then she recognized Todd 's voice. Todd said, "I think she's just ahead!" She began to race down the tunnel in a panic, wondering at her speed and realizing she could see in the dark. "Where are you going?" a voice in front of her said. A tall hairy man stood here, holding rags in front of his ----- SNOUT! He was a werewolf! He said, "I so enjoy meeting a scared frightened beautiful vampire after midnight - alone - after eating....."

message 927: by Cam (last edited Sep 25, 2012 06:58AM) (new)

Cam | 2652 comments Let's "celebrate" by having some more blood cried Todd, as Matilda tried to hide her "blush". There were many facial "accessories" to avoid the fact that they were vampires--real vampires--not the phony ones that people read about in stories, but actual vampires. Maybe one of your neighbors is a vampire, but would you know--the ones that walk their dogs late at night while everyone is sleeping, some having dreams of "splicing" a golf ball or dreaming of a "new found" world where everything is peaceful and everyone in the whole world gets along with one another.

S.M. | 32005 comments The difference between "tales" and a "story" has always baffled Todd. In the"end" does it really matter if you believe the "beast" is "true" or false.

T (twoo) 'I "propose" that the "purpose" of the previous "poster", one participant going by the name of Sheila, is to compare our boy Todd to a "pollywog",' intoned the "Pastor", familiarly known as Pastor Elvis.

S.M. | 32005 comments Comparing Todd to Elvis in any context makes as much sense as a "snowball" falling in a "dustbowl". Todd's desire to emulate his idol had him walking into Elvis'favorite eatery, "Hoppin'John". He is lucky he didn't eat there, or eat from someone who had eaten there, since the last 4 patrons ended up in the hospital with "dysentery". And to think Hoppin' John had "Shemekia" scheduled to do a concert there.

message 931: by T (new)

T (twoo) < you know Shemekia! >

As with all the "glamour" that "photoshop" could muster, the "master" of all Elvisi attempted to help turn Todd into a better Elvis in the "dingy" dressing room, using "tripe" to fashion the sideburns.

Suede
Suave
Corpuscle
Hips
Murder


message 932: by S.M. (new)

S.M. | 32005 comments Blue"suede" shoes were not going to make him "suave". Every "corpuscle" in his "hips" couldn't make him grind like Elvis. Maybe Todd should stick with "murder", well not really murder but close enough.


Glass
Football
Baseball
Dazzling
Buddist


message 933: by T (new)

T (twoo) Poor Todd....being a "glass" is half full kinda fella, he had tried "football", "baseball" and being "Buddhist", and had yet to find himself a "dazzling" role on Earth.

Skinny dipping
Serial
Sordid
Sappy
Simpleton


aPriL does feral sometimes  (cheshirescratch) | 1296 comments Todd decided to go skinny dipping suddenly since the serial killer business wasn't going so good. He needed a rethink. Turning to the werewolf in front of him with the Elvis flip, he propositioned him with the swim. The werewolf's face spread with a sappy smile. "Are you a simpleton or what? I'm going to kill you!" He snarled, and then he did a little twist with a foot swivel, and howled, "I'm nothing but a hound dog!" Todd thought he's right, given the circumstances. It's all gone so sordid. He started to cry. The werewolf stopped approaching. He sniffed, and said, "I smell cat pee." Looking closer at Todd's face, he reared back. "Dude! That's really low-class!"

Great

Greed
Grub


message 935: by S.M. (new)

S.M. | 32005 comments "Greed" makes a person do "grim" things. To keep the "greaser" from getting the "grub" isn't always pretty. "Great" meals are hard to come by.

message 940: by Cam (new)

Cam | 2652 comments Val seeks "redemption" because she forgot to add words to the game. No one is perfect she stated to herself. To ease the pain of her guilt, she decided to check out the "sale" at the new clothing store in town. These pants are "cute". I am no longer "angry" at T for reminding me how to play the game. Is Todd a "codger" she thought to herself.

S.M. | 32005 comments The "jumpsuit" she tried on was the "largest" mistake she did that day. Val "shouted", "Why did I leave my "glasses" at home today. Things that I do seem to be a "mystery"." Maybe Todd would have liked the jumpsuit.

Filth
Vampire
Haunt

aPriL does feral sometimes  (cheshirescratch) | 1296 comments Val believes a vampire might be filth, but they haunt her with a gangster persistence. Thinking about her sordid interest, she realizes that's what distracts her from remembering to include words. Vowing to stop thinking of Todd all of the time, she shops.

Creepy
Mystery
Inappropriate
Adoration
Fixation


message 943: by Val (new)

Val (valz) | 1542 comments Personally, I find it "inappropriate" and "creepy" to have such "adoration" for a vampire. Still, I guess it beats having a "fixation" on werewolves. Anyway, back to the "mystery" that is me. I'm buying platform heels to go with the jumpsuit.

trendy
station
climate

horrifying


aPriL does feral sometimes  (cheshirescratch) | 1296 comments Elvis the werewolf is disgusted by the trendy interest in vampires, particular those like cat loving Todd. Such a dumb vampire lowers the station of all creatures of the night. In such a climate, Elvis Werewolf is not surprised to see people, such as Val, also find that platform shoes are an excellent accessory to jumpsuits. Wrinkling his muzzle, he decides to get some popcorn to solice himself. Suddenly, Todd appears before him. Horrifying Elvis to the point of madness, Todd has on the platforms that Val was looking at.

Mash
Enigmatic

message 945: by Val (new)

Val (valz) | 1542 comments Val had to "giggle" when she saw Todd. Not really a good look for him. She "detected" an "enigmatic" sign on the wall behind Todd. It said : If "Pursuit "of Justice is your desire then "mash". Was it a typo? A signpo?

Cam | 2652 comments Poor old worn out Todd stumbled and fell into one of the "tubs" of "turbinado" sugar while trying to escape from a mysterious person holding a bloody chain saw in his hands. More "trouble" and "turmoil" comes Todd's way. There were unknown "tacit" clues as to who the person was. PS: Could the unknown person be Pastor Elvis??

coffee

message 948: by S.M. (new)

S.M. | 32005 comments I think "black" "coffee" is the best way to go since Todd fell in the sugar. Bacon "frying" in the "pan" always makes the "stove" more inviting.

aPriL does feral sometimes  (cheshirescratch) | 1296 comments Val and Elvis Werewolf decided to start a social membership called 'Creatures who Hate Vampires in Platform Shoes'. It was a very exclusive club, for only those with great taste were invited. Todd was flying high on the deed of ingesting pounds of sugar and thus couldn't stop laughing at being excluded from the list of tasteful folks, especially since he misheard and thought it was a club for Tasty People. For some reason he kept smelling bacon, which mystified him until he noticed Pastor Elvis, who ate a lot of bacon, standing near. He was about to invite the Pastor, not to be confused with the werewolf also called Elvis, to join his club of Tasteless Folk, but stopped upon seeing the Pastor Elvis had a portable chainsaw running and he seemed to be coming at Todd.

Dread
Fear
Eviscerate
Hanging
Halloween


message 950: by Val (new)

Val (valz) | 1542 comments Val had great "dread" and "fear" that upcoming "Halloween" would mean more ridiculous vampires "hanging" around "eviscerating" everything in sight. She thought she might talk to Pastor Elivis about it.
