rdewald's Journal: Sam, you're on.

The CIA operative just stared blankly towards the opposite wall of the tent. A light Coloradon breeze blows through the flaps, causing them to quiver ever so slightly, like Boulder hookers at a recruiting party.

He cleared his throat and began, "Sam, it's time to take action. This woman, must be stopped. You must terminate her term in office."

Sam, who had been staring at the magic drinking bird on the General's field desk, jerked to attention. "Terminate the Congresswoman's term, sir?" He asked, not sure that he really believed he heard what he thought he heard.

"Terminate her term" the CIA operative said while stamping out his clove cigaratte in his empty Orange Mocha Frappachino Cup "with extreme prejudice."

As if on cue, General Harvey Fierstein, emerged from the shadows and began, deliberatively "Son, I love what you've done with that belt, but the Congresswoman has clearly lost the ability to govern, on even a very basic level, and she has began to consort with and assume the political objectives of a very dangerous group, a tyrannical fundamentalist theocracy. Sometimes, people, especially in eastern Colorado, just snap."

Colonel Sean Hays picked up the torch from there "Sam, she's throwing the feng shui off for the entire state, you never grow anything along the back fence until she's out of office."

Sam looked up, he wished life were as simple for him as it was for that damn bird, but he was glad he wasn't that thirsty. "I'm sure if I fail to qualify all my signatures, or save all my receipts the agency will disavow all knowledge of this operation, right?

Colonel Hays looked at his shuffling feet and said "Either that or you'll get paid twice, it's hard to predict."

"I'm in." Sam knew he had no other choice if he wanted to see Toledo, or the Shetland, ever again.

Looks like the gauntlet has been accepted...

So when was it thrown? I'm now intrigued! (And that was some decent writin' thar!)

Running through your comment history trying to find your comment that triggered this JE. Of course, I never did find it, and I've been distracted by other JEs written today. My, my JE circle has been busy, recently. Maybe I should put something up, since my journal was last touched on the 10th.

A short creative fiction might be a nice change of pace. A collaborative fiction would be even better, although all it takes is one person to throw off the whole effort. I'm still game if anyone else is, though.

Re:And Here I was....

[rdewald]

There was no comment that spawned this JE, it was the random cruelty of my capricious sense of humor.

Collaborative fiction is a great idea. Count me in.

Alright, Peeps -- "You're on."

[Cliff]

Should we decide on basic rules and genre, now. Or should I just start us off with a JE that dumps us right into it? If someone else is feeling brave enough to start us right off, feel free!

I love this kind of stuff! The weirder the subject matter, the better!

OK. I guess it's time to solicit. I guess this means an upcoming JE from me.

homophobic hair up it's ass

Now there's a phrase that's grossly underutilized in politics. Does that come with lube?

BTW, ditch the apostrophe, Mr. Language Dude. ;-)
