you got that right sistah
I play
but dats a lotsa blanks

I would start on a wing and a prayer

When I was just still the black and white troll of litkicks.

Moonsturck shot of me sitting here listening the hissss of the locamotives parked just outside my shack on the side of the Union Pacific main line. Off on a sidding waiting for the horn of another approaching west bound freight. Dolby sound and technicolor.

pluperfect
plue perfect
when I was writing the history of the future.

[Doreen Peri]

I guess ya don't wanna play.

Oh well.

[stilltrucking]

geeze louize
I thought I was
I suppose i should maybe print it out
read the fine print.

It is a lot of blanks for me to remember I was just going with the ones I remembered

still working on the dvd title

[Doreen Peri]

If Ken Burns were to make a documentary of my life, he'd have to include the day my mother gave birth because you should have seen the look on her face when she saw me come out thumbing my nose at the ugly nurse and the day I graduated from kindergarten because when I fell off the stage and landed on my head, it marked the beginning of my acting career.

When the camera pans over photographs of my family, the narrator will talk about how odd it was that none of the family intelligence was passed along to me, given my bright and accomplished family members and it will show the audience that I became a tightrope walker for Barnum & Baily's circus during that period and when the camera shows the black & white photos from my daughter's personal journal, it will clearly represent my retrogressive phase.

If Ken Burns were to make a documentary of my life, it would be entitled "DUH" and the DVDs would be stocked on the shelves of Walmart and The Dollar Store simply because my life has been a a cheap bargain and a close to worthless and it fits to distribute it in discount places.

Well, now that I filled in the blanks, it's pretty obvious that I didn't write the darn thing in a way that the blanks could easily be filled in to make the sentence structures make sense.

Oh well. Where's Jim Vinny when we need him most?

Maybe I'll move this thread to writing challenges. It was a challenge for me, indeed.

[Doreen Peri]

thanks for playing, truckin'!

think about that DVD title...

[stilltrucking]

nice work
I will take a stab again, pardon the repost but I am working without a net. I got to keep the reply open and all the scrolling is a pain, and I could cut and paste into word, but I just don't feel like it, the pity of punctuation

DVD
Tiltled Elephant Boy, sound Track from Sabu Visits the Twin Cities Alone, john prine.
Mine would not be in walmart cause they don't allow no trashy music in their store. It would be stocked in the back of Salvation Army Stores with with the moldy copies of The Whole Earht Catologue and candle wax spattered copies of The Be Here Now book. Simply because my life has been a gift. I don't remember my mother's face before I was born, but I remember her face the day I held her throat in my hands.

Sentence structure, no sister I got no sentence structure
the words dangle precariously with the punctuation and the mortor is weak, the structure wobbles
I am so unhip it is a wonder my buns don't fall off. hot dog bun my sister's a nun and I am just trying to have fun.

that flame board on litkicks was my Zen board, there is not much anger left I mean not much pain anymore. I had it coming. But she had so many friends that wanted to stick up for her.

[Arcadia]

mmm....... too difficult for this hour, season, year, etc...! One blank is enough!!!!!!!!

[stilltrucking]

I hope this thread has legs. I hope others decide to play too.. I would be curious to see more replies.

I used to love to watch the riggers working, setting up the high wire acts. And you was always so far above me.

If Ken Burns were to make a documentary of my life it would be rated PG-13 for sex and violence. It would be stocked on the shelves of The Union Gospel Mission Gospel Mission on lower Broadway in Nashville Tennessee because my life has been gift from God and close to meaningless and it is fit that I make my own meaning from it.

If Ken Burns were to make a documentary of my life, he'd have to include the day i lost my virginity on a set of purple beanbags during Christmas break because sex is more of less all I think about and there will also be a painfully brief bit about the horror of life in the house split between me and my mother because everybody loves a good cat fight.

When the camera pans over my vast collection of Johnny Depp memorabilia, the narrator will talk about my budding neurosis which sparked my catatonic paranoia and it will show the audience that I became a whiskey-drinking, chain-smoking leftist with little or no purpose during that period and when the camera shows the black & white photos from my years at Truman Middle College High School, it will clearly represent my Slumming for the sake of slummming, half-grown-up but still completely, shit-eatingly confused phase.

If Ken Burns were to make a documentary of my life, it would be entitled "The Future of Sex, and Why You Shouldn't Be Having It" and the DVDs would be stocked on the shelves of Virgin Megastore and various other pop-culturally oriented teenage wastelands simply because my life has been a revoltingly pointless series of stupid mistakes involving sex drugs excessive amounts of nicotine and a few very horrible experiences with the job market and it fits to distribute it in slut-in-training-infested, soccer mom in prada, old gay couple in tennis shoe, foriegn kid with a mohawk ridden places.

If Ken Burns were to make a documentary of my life, he'd have to include those wonderful baths I used to get as a toddler because I was seduced by women at an early age and twenty seven years of masturbation because I got tired of being a jerk.
We played wiggle wiggle this little piggy went to market, and for years afterward I thought I had eleven toes.


When the camera pans over my vast collection of dirty ash trays, the narrator will talk about my death wish and it will show the audience that I became a Quaker during that period and when the camera shows the black & white photos from my most recent CAT scan it will clearly represent my terminal phase.

If Ken Burns were to make a documentary of my life, it would be entitled "Existential Strip Tease”" and the DVDs would be stocked on the shelves of Toys R Us and Maternity Dress Shops simply because my life has been a cautionary tale and a gift and it fits to distribute it in joyful places.
