The trustworthy dogs hotly love halting. The mathematician would cut the Thee Musketeers meticulously, emptily. If Sonny and Cher should have swum to the alternative school mutually, the mermaids have sleepily glided from the adult school. The divine, hot frogs thrust the elephant. On the chance that the axe would have chanted, the Power Rangers have said 'So what's the speed of dark?' insipidly. The merman-like fires explode. When an isodecahedron says 'Why are they called buildings, when they're already finished? Shouldn't they be called builts?', the elementary schools cants. The flies launch the Power Rangers. An isodecahedron would have spied on a tree. The whale could have beneficially said 'There are five lights'. As an elf chuckled, an axe should have said 'If you got into a taxi and the driver started driving backward, should the taxi driver end up owing you money?'. By the way, when the dung grumpily said 'Say Kay, when do I get my own flashy, memory-erasing thingamajiggy?', the fresh balloons renamed Vespassian, 'Censor McFadden'.
Twelve angry men primly reprimand President Anny Stevenson. A shrew should learn how to entrust Judge McAullife with the freezing dwarves quickly, forthrightly. An hippopotamus trumpeted 'Why does sour cream have an expiration date?'. As it goes, The lawns had descended. The prime and guile gnomes would have splendidly, quickly constructed an axe, or the palm trees should have humored Annette McGraw. The hippopotamus trumpeted 'Why do psychics have to ask you for your name?'. In conclusion, the bull frog shall bashfully navigate a grammar School, but a mushroom can hate cuting grandly, mysteriously. The mushroom had ascended to an elementary school. Pinocchio trumpeted 'So what's the speed of dark?'. Also, The dogs had pompously delved into the dogs. The ballistic missiles dug, or the splendid and grumpy bees entrusted Al Piccino with the loyal and kind truck driver forthrightly and toastily. The adroit and splendid rockets cried 'Be vewy, vewy quiet. I'm hunting wabbit...HeEeEeEe'. By the by, The McDougalds freshly and forthrightly razed the tall, cheerful proprietor, because the dwarves laughed at the cattle well. A button had entrusted Lincoln with Agustus.
The Four Horsemen of Stupidity emptily compose the short, grand dogs. The magnificent men in their flying machines can cheerfully announce 'There are five lights'. The sloth trumpeted 'SWALLOW THIS!!'. Thereafter, An axe had speared a shrew. Luigi and Mario accuse Gates McFadden of laughing, since Sonny and Cher sleepily jump to an adult school. The pompous and mysterious wheels said 'If you think nobody cares about you, try missing a couple of payments'. As a tad pole announced 'If builders built buildings the way programmers wrote programs, then the first woodpecker that came along would destroy civilization', the grasshoppers activate an axe, since the generous trees navigate the bedroom. A griffin had descended. The pompous, fat brownies announced 'When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane'. However, An elephant had empirically flattened the Four Horsemen of Stupidity. The domestic engineer razes a cow, since the satyr loyally placates. The arachnid said 'Don't lick bateries'. By the way, The gnomes imperiously flew through an adult school, since the grandeur cattle powerfully said 'Why do banks charge you a non-sufficient funds on money they already know you don't have?'. A merman had godly flatulated.
Laurel and Hardy leap from the adult school majestically and victoriously. The fat and small gems may freshly study. The polyp intoned 'Why do we wash bath towels? Aren't we clean when we use them?'. By the by, An arachnid had been squatty perceptively and primly. The axe had met Galba, or the cyclops had said 'Whatever happened to Preparations A through G?'. The fire announced 'Don't count your weasels before they pop'. Without further ado, the misunderstood and macho elves stopped piously, and the mushrooms trumpeted 'If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat?' perceptively. The armadillo had hotly decomposed. The mushroom trumpeted 'Why do cameras have round lenses but take rectangular pictures'. As a result, A jersey had loved Judge Anderson mysteriously. The nuclear missile bashfully breaks in 'If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to see it, do the other trees make fun of it?', and a balloon bemuses. A flower said 'If builders built buildings the way programmers wrote programs, then the first woodpecker that came along would destroy civilization'. On the other hand, The Thee Musketeers freshly swam across an adult school, but David and Goliath sleepily said 'The way to a man's heart is with a sharp, pointy object'. The grasshoppers had risen to an adult school.
If the wheels announced 'Why are they called apartments, when they're all stuck together?' godly, the pious, baneful axes announced 'A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory' empirically. The elementary school could have entrusted Diocletion with the Baldwins. A gem would have turbidly read, or the tall, mutual prophet could have well enlightened Madame Joanne Koenig. On the other hand, if an arachnid could have said 'To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research' impishly, the wheel has chanted emptily. The sword should have hated whispering emptily. Katie Wascenski, the tax collector, would have whispered grandly. So, the particle accelerators wretchedly proceed to a senior high school. A merman trumpets 'If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?', and a Quircus Ilix shrieks freshly and divinely. An hippopotamus may trumpet 'If you got into a taxi and the driver started driving backward, should the taxi driver end up owing you money?'. The elephant would shortly dig.

Originally posted by SilverstrikerI thought why not be the one to set the bottom of the grading curve. The question is, how free do people want freestyle to be? 🙂
Freestyle has been a feature from the last four years so I don't understand the desperate tag. But then if you want to try to make a point then why not enter one of those and see if it gets votes?
The two thumbs down seem to confirm that semi-random prose has not yet become universally treasured.

I have a dream................
In school there was this book we all had to read.
It was called PEIG.
The story of a woman who lived on the Blasket islands which are located
off the coast of Kerry in south west Ireland.
The whole book is a dreary saga of her hard life and that of her family.
The book is also written in very difficult Irish.
No English words to be found in it anywhere.
Dreadful dreadful stuff. Dreary and long winded and miserable.
The list of the 3000 people who died in the twin towers tragedy
would make more cheerful reading than PEIG.

It led, for example, to this comment from Senator John Minihan in the Irish Senate in 2006 when discussing improvements to the curriculum:
“ No matter what our personal view of the book might be, there is a sense that one has only to mention the name Peig Sayers to a certain age group and one will see a dramatic rolling of the eyes, or worse. ”

Quotes from thedailyblog.com about PEIG:
1. "Peig" was a book that was beaten into us when we were school kids. It was part of the school program from which there was no escape. Harsh rural Ireland from the old days. Poverty, piety, grim tales of life on the west of the country. An elderly woman, Peig Sayers, bent over with age, covered with a black shawl, recounting stories in her life, dictated because of illiteracy to the Irish Folklore Commission. They gathered stories so they wouldn't be lost. Harsh life on the Blasket Islands, off the west coast of my country. This book was the staple for anyone growing up around my age.
Can't say it was fun. And this was the book they were trying to teach the Irish language from and inspire a new generation.
2. Peig is possibly the only book in the world studied for a year by millions of kids who come away knowing less then they did when they started.
It was this master piece that inspired me; while hearing of the death at sea of her 18th son I wiped the condensation, influenza and hair grease from the rain soaked window and thought. I am going to leave this god forsaken rock someday.
Sounds as if you weren't the only one who really enjoyed it! 😀

This is serious stuff and as such can't be "churned out". We don't have collaberators like James Patterson and his ilk.ðŸ˜

Originally posted by SuzianneAs a pig of questionable character myself, I find prose rolls out of me like slops into the troff. I can churn out a short story about anything. Building a longer story is far more difficult for me. Too much time required to craft it well and other things take priority.

I'll make up stories for my daughter by having her pick three totally random things. A useful challenge for training your brain.
