Crap's 100 Words 100 Stories For RFL (submissions due morning of July 15)

Crap Mariner is doing a special Relay For Life story challenge. He's going to donate a buck for each recorded story submitted in time for broadcast (July 15) and Serendipidy Haven is matching the donations.

I'm a fan of Crap's regular story challenge to begin with...I think it's a great, creative and inclusive use of Second Life tools and resident engagement. The RFL special is icing on the cake. 

Good stuff, Maynard.

100 words from dada about a dentist

dadatic, a forum poster and writer I have enjoyed for years, indulged me with this little 100-word story that he graciously gave me permission to share.  Enjoy.

My dentist was injured today while she was torturing me. I didn't bite her. She cut herself with one of her instruments. While she ran to cure her wound, I stayed there with an open mouth, not because I was dumbfounded, but because she had not given me permission to close it. Fortunately she could soon resume the operation, as her wound was not really serious. But it's my first time of rightfully shared pain at the dentist's.  She quickly disposed of my tooth before I could say a word. Now what am I going to put beneath my pillow?

You'll pardon him if he does not read it aloud and record a sound bite...for obvious reasons.

A Joke's No Good If You Have To Explain It

I went from pop-up museums (some of which allow visitors to contribute exhibit pieces to give the museum a shared historical authority) to THE Pop-up Museum.  Tad Low and Woody (Thompson) are the creators of the VH1 Pop-up Video concept, which included bubbles and "info nuggets."  The name of their company was Spin the Bottle, Inc.  Pop-Up Video was VH1's highest-rated show until Behind the Music took that spot and Pop-Up Video was known for it's playfully sexual content.  Ben Stiller made a movie called "A Night at the Museum."  I'm the "Archivist" in a virtual world.  I was a contributor to the 100 Word Story Challenge.

The age requirement for entry into the Pop-Up Museum was a tad low. The archive was notorious for both subtle sexual innuendo and blatant obscenity. Info nuggets created byWoody were a virtual aphrodisiac. A night at the museum, including a visit to the Bubbly Bar and the various zeitgeisty exhibits, produced more pheromones than an unchaperoned game of spin the bottle in Mom and Dad’s basement. More than once security had to be called to discreetly deal with inappropriate behavior behind the music installations. Janitors were later called to clean up the “shared historical authority” left by enthusiastic “contributors.” 

That's the way my little mind works.
