Fallow flicked the wipers on, and the defrosters, too. A small fickle shudder ran up his right calf. The passing scenery in a fog, he latched onto the wheel and swung a hard..."

Southpaw. That's what we need.

Fallow, I think you've missed the idea on this thread. Start at the beginning to see what Bob had intended.

Descriptions... not random sentences.

Like:

Rich was the kind of guy who told jokes at funerals, but always botched the punchlines.

Aww, leave fallow alone. I figured he was doing surreal portraits or something. Anyway, some of his are really interesting. (some suck, of course, but then they can't ALL be good). [Wink]

Except...
It's all good.

Bob was a Rorschach test folded into an origami boat left to sail wherever the ripples and tiny breezes took it. Mostly.

Abby!!! [ROFL]

That's two in less than a week!!!

Bob was amazed that he was the only one to come prepared with hiking boots and a walking stick to the class on "how to scale a fish."

Bob had a military bearing -- part #45/299-122B -- it was a gift from the corporal in charge of the supply depot.

Fallow swam to shore. Finding a competent morse-code operator lazing about in lit.-reflux, he began sending "S.O.L" messages in random directions, patting out the beat on Ryuko's heinie.

unfortunately, none of the messages got through. ..Whether it was the fault of Fallow's spelling or the translators' machinery remains but a guess to this day.

Okay, I warned you about messing with Ryuko, fallow. Don't make me stop this thread!

Bob realized with the glee that only comes from exercising an arbitrary power that he really could stop this thread.

Abby loved her some Bob_Scopatz in a completely platonic, even filial, manner.

Abby edited her messages like a stealthy ninja of message editing... Unfortunately, ninjas were never as stealthy as they seemed in the movies...

Rich's idea of the "Big Ol' Slurpee Machine of Whoop-Ass" wasn't a financial winner, but it sure did make the late shift at the 7-11 more interesting.

Melanie's plan fell to pieces when it was revealed that she'd never actually owned a palm pilot. Just a tin of mints and an unyielding desire to jab at it.

Matt was like a refrigerator magnet. He lacked the ability to hold a piece of construction paper and there was a picture of a real estate agent on his forehead.

Matt collected posters with pictures of kittens doing cute things and inspirational blurbs at the bottom. Or maybe it was baseball cards.

Matt was a sucker for romantic comedies. Or at least he would have been if prop masters in Hollywood weren’t such sticklers for what they called “real props”.

Matt missed his fifteen minutes of fame waiting in the wrong line at the post office.

Matt felt that the cure for any ailment was a big old helping of Grandma’s chicken soup. Then he died.

(edited to apologize for that last one coming out darker and more morbid than I meant it to)

Shardok, 's'all good!

Bob decided to fool everyone and change his keys instead of the locks.

Bob felt like everything was going for him -- usually armed with truncheons and small daggers.

Bob and sepia-tone photography were simply made for each other.

Jeffrey is one of those things that go bump in the daytime.

Jeffrey never cried "wolf," he just pointed as he ran in the other direction.

If Jeffrey was ever a step ahead of anybody it's because everyone else had stopped at the edge of the precipice.

Dan felt like the whole world was gunning for him, when in truth, it was only about 3% of the population.

As Dan laid down to sleep he never stopped to wonder if the voting booth was the most comfortable place to lay.

Dan was an undecided voter, either a Republicat or a Democan, or if he was feeling really out there, a Aqua-Marine liberal.

Bob was known for his ankles.

As a fair weather friend, Bob found it was a lot easier living someplace cold and damp.

Bob knew enough to come in out of the rain, it's just that everyone else knew enough to keep their doors and windows locked.

Bob was named for his uncles.

Jeffrey was voted in high school most likely to end up in prison for something he didn't even do.

Jeffrey would go through the pain of a sunburn just for the joy of peeling off the dead skin.

Dan was happy to get the most calls for his performance on that natiowide quasi-reality show, until he discovered it was America's Most Wanted, not American Idol.

Then he was even happier.
