Introduce Yourself : Let's try this again. by Elaine Haygood

Elaine Haygood

Let's try this again.

Okay. I am going to start with an intro:

Hi, I'm Elaine. I'm short, fat, over 60 and the Thugs in my "Hood" tremble at the sound of my footsteps.

Now, for some fun:

A Monk, a Clone and a Fergegi walked into a bar...

What happens next is up to whoever responds to this post.

Note: DON'T post the previous line. Just add to the fun and let's see whare it goes.

E Langley

The bartender says, "Is this a joke?"

Matthew Parvin

Welcome Elaine! Nice to meet you. Glad you're here.

Shadow Dragu-Mihai, Esq., Ipg

The Ferengi sneers at the bartender and answers "This is business."

E Langley

"So, it's an ear rub you're looking for," the bartender replies. "Do I look like a Dabo girl?"

Sydney Summers

Welcome to the community Elaine!

Maurice Vaughan

Intrigued, the Monk asks the bartender, "What is a Dabo girl?"

E Langley

"No one you'd ever have any use for... Monk."

(notices Clone)

"Hey! We don't serve their kind here."

Zanna Cardash

Hang on. What's a Fergegi?!

G Russell Gaynor

"Don't judge me! My Dad's a Ferengi and my Mom sang lead for the Black Eyed Peas! We won't even go into how many bars of gold-pressed latinum I've shelled out to Charles Xavier for my therapy. He hasn't solved a damn thing, but I can bend sound in such a way that people want to give me their money. Needless to say I'm Dad's favorite!"

E Langley

The Bartender replies, "Who cares? Go see a dentist. Soon!"

Elaine Haygood

@Zannah Cardash A Ferengi is one of the races from Star Trek, The Next Generation.

Elaine Haygood

E Langley

And regular characters on ST: DS9.

Maurice Vaughan

You're welcome, Elaine Haygood.

Bill Aho

Mr. Monk quickly deduces that the clone is not a real Ferengi, and begins a hunt for the original, leading to a dark psychotic episode for Adrian Monk.

E Langley

The Bartender growls, "He's a Monk. M-O-N-K. Like a Monk that mediates. Not Adrian Monk! And there's three who walked in: a Monk, a Ferengi AND a Clone. Whatcha been smokin'? Denebian Skunk Weed?"

Angel Luis Martinez Jr.

Fergegi, said fergegi the wwhole thing lol. Hey, I took a crack at it no lol

Angel Luis Martinez Jr.

It really is a nice way to start a conversation, well done.

Maurice Vaughan

The bartender, monk, Fergegi, and clone laugh -- an explosion outside shakes the bar. They look around, rattled and confused.

E Langley

"Damn," says the bartender, "Must be another Death Star."

Jill Godley

I like your intro :)

Maurice Vaughan

Darth Vader marches into the bar with an army of Stormtroopers and Klingons.

E Langley

The Klingon sneers. "Heghlu'meH QaQ jajvam." ("Today is a good day to die.")

"Very well," Vader wheezes between labored mechanical breaths. He uses The Force to crush the Klingon's throat. The bone-headed Klingon crumbles to the floor.

Vader activates his light saber. Stormtroopers bring weapons to bear.

The Bartender fingers a shotgun hidden under the bar.

The Ferengi draws a hand phaser.

The Monk whips out prayer beads, swings them.

The Clone dives under a table.

The tense silence breaks when a car plows through the door. The Terminator picks their way through the rubble. "Told you I'd be bock."

Elaine Haygood

You guys SO ROCK! Thanks for continuing this!

Maurice Vaughan

That's wild, E Langley! :D

Maurice Vaughan

You're welcome, E Langley. This was fun, Elaine Haygood!

Elaine Haygood

Maurice Vaughan Thank you. I'm thinking of doing this for every IYW-Well, for the foreseeable future.

I hope it will help the Newbies feel more comfortable and let the Old Timers do something other than say the same thing.

Not to mention. It's just a LOT of fun seeing what people come up with.

E Langley

From one Elaine to another - thanks.

I too don't get why more writers - noobs to experienced - don't play along.

Maurice Vaughan

You're welcome, Elaine Haygood. I'm looking forward to playing this game again. I think it'll help new members feel more comfortable [with commenting and making posts] and give older members something new to do.
