Ok Folks. It has been awhile since we have done this but it is story time. I am going to start a story, then someone adds one or couple lines to the story to keep it going. It is alot of fun and it is wild to see how everyone gets so creative. I hope all of you want to play along. So here I go!!!!
The other day as I was strolling across the beach of Lake Superior, I saw in the distance a wolf and a moose having an argument. As I got closer the arguing was getting louder and louder. At first they didn't see me, so I was able to watch as they were arguing as to who was wrong and who was right. When they finally realized that I was there they asked me.....
The wolf thought the Moose had bought into PR and everybody knew it was really named Lake Gitche Gumee by the indigenous people that were here long before the white man came with his cell phones and Ipods.
Edited because I can't spell 'long'.
The moose felt the Gummy, toothless tribe knew nothing, they were dirty and smelly and still used flint to make fire... for goodness sake! Everyone knew you used matches to make the fire that makes good ol grass tea.
During all this argueing no one noticed the Otter at the waters edge. She had stopped chasing her dinner too see what was going on...
The great big daddy salmon who had just lost a few scales to the bloody otter, for the second time this week decided to swim to shore to see what had distracted his tormentor.. The wolf and the moose got so caught up with the onlookers that they completely forgot what their argument was all about. So the wolf said to the moose How about if we swim to the other side. Have you ever been there? Hey Ms. Otter ..."We'd like to swim to the other side. Care to be our guide?" The otter replied, rather surprized they could come up with such an idea "Are you guys CRAZY? You aren't water animals. Haven't you ever heard of the Edmund Fitzgerald???? You guys'd be toast if the gales of November come early."The wolf and moose replied. "we can swim almost as well as you can, but please tell me, "what is the Edmund Fitzgerald?" That's a new one to us, so please explain it. Other forest friends heard all of the commotion and gathered around to see what was going on and to find out about "Edmund Fitzgerald" So the wise old owl said....."Here is my copy of Gordon Lightfoot's song of the Edmund Fitzgerald let me put it on the cd player, so everyone sat and listen as old Gordie sang his tune. Then eveyone started arguing about how sad and terrible that was and that they decided they wanted to listen to tunes from Margaritaville. So the moose said "well I got a cd of Jimmy Buffet on me, let's put that on." So while Jimmy was crooning about life, the animals made a conga line and danced all the way over to a private jet that was going to whisk them all off to...
The animals jetted off to the Bahamas, where they laid on the white sand at the water's edge sipping Bahama Mamas when out of the water stepped....the biggest alligater any of them had ever seen! They jumped up off the sand and..surrounded him. "Rocky, where you been?" they asked. We haven't seen you since...Your mama was caught and made into those boots for...Lindsay Lohan. That skin doesn't look nearly so pretty as it did on your mama. Remember the time she...
