It's so easy a caveman could do it.

Ok the Challenge try and create a story from that !

And it has to be at least 500 words long.

Good luck as usual if you or any of your force are caught or killed you are on you're own, "ROLF."

Do we have to use that line?

I'm a child of the 60's, why not older ads?

But then again maybe not. I shudder to think what someone would do with "I can't believe I ate the whole thing." But then as George Carlin once said, a lot of ads use sex, particulary the old TV cigarette ads and car ads.

P.S. I mean, jesse ... "I'd walk a mile for a Camel," and "It's not how long you make it, it's how you make it long." Take these out of context and the one is bizare as George put it and the other is extreme but true.

P.P.S. Then there is the genie and the boy singing "Oh I wish I were an Oscar Meyer weiner." Poof!

Its fun to see the creative process

With this challenge we are starting at the same time almost. Using the same phrase means each person uses their creativity to find a hook and take off from there. Angela, Laika , Aardvaark and I have posted so far and its interesting how different each of our stories are coming from the same phrase. And there are obviously lots of other ideas left to use. I was about to write about ideas but thought better of taking some else's fun.

I'm looking forward to seeing who else might take up the challenge and what they might see out of the phrase.

All my hopes,

Sorry, didn't mean to shout...

Do you want to be the one who keeps doing this,
initiating & m.c.-ing the t.v. commercial slogan stories?
I'm dying to see what people could do with:
"DIRTY MOUTH? CLEAN IT UP!!!"
But don't want to hijack
your idea...

Should this perhaps be a weekly thing?

Go for it

Thanks, so much, maybe Monday then
(those who read this getting a head start
which is okay, there's no finish point.)
Yes, a G-rating restriction would be more
challenging but I think a lot less fun,
for me, to read. I'm infantile that way.
And being host this week, I'll exempt myself.
