The Endless Story
MattJonesHeisman's incomplete sentence thread gave me this idea. Most of us has done this from time to time. One begins by writing a single paragraph of a story, then the next person does another paragraph, and we see where the story takes us.
------------------------------------------------------------------- It was a dark and stormy night, as Mr. Bigglesworth sat in his comfy chair, smoking his pipe while reading the latest Harry Potter book. The smoke from his pipe filled the air with a fragrance his butler, Bubba Wheels, very much enjoyed. Bubba entered the room, deeply inhaled the scent, and delivered Bigglesworth his daily cocktail. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Next?

For the doorbell to ring at such an hour was odd enough, it being several minutes past six in the evening and no guests had been expected, but Mr. Bigglesworth found it odd that Bubba did not approach the door in order to answer it. Impatiently he glanced up at his butler, who had started his way back in to the kitchen, and let out a loud sigh. Time for a new butler, he thought to himself as he gingerly made his way out of his chair to answer the door.

Mr. Bigglesworth was preparing to give the uncouth fiend the verbal thrashing he (or she) so richly deserved for having the temerity to disturb his peaceful contemplation. Such was his haste to deliver the verbal blow that he failed to make use of the peephole to see who was waiting on the stoop and simply flung open the door. The large elephant that charged through the door and trampled him to death was such a surprise that the expression left on Mr. Bigglesworth's face prompted more than one chuckle from the investigators who arrived a short time later.

The investigative team was led by Ryan S, well rested after his harrowing adventures in The Curse of the Timestamp Bug.

Suprisingly, the giant elephant is able to speak and is a real grump. He shout's "Death to all who say 'has done' instead of 'have done', especially in a thread bemoaning other grammatical errors. "You are damned WVUFAN, and I will send you to hell!!!!!", roars the elephant. Suddenly, the elephant charges the roll-top desk in the parlor. The desk explodes in an rain of wood and blood. WVU's head lands last, and settles, staring accusedly at jbmagic, who is tutoring his children in the adjoining room. "I sorry, WVU!! I am knew two Americu and english isn't not my first language. Pleese do not haunt myself!!!!!", jb says. Unfortunately, the elephant is not buying it, as he roars, rears up and crushes jbmagic beneath his feet.

The elephant roars in delight, then bewilderment, as WVUFan's headless body, who seemingly appeared out of thin air in Bigglesworth's mansion along with JBMagic, stands, walks calmly over and lifts his head back onto its original location. WVUFan laughs mockingly. "I know you aren't not a real elephant, Schmidty. You should know no true West Virginian knows anything about tenses. BWAHAHA!"

And they all lived happily ever after.
Now, wasn't this a thread a raging success.
