Good News, Bad News

[Sodoff]

This is a game I started in another region I used to live in. It's very simple. I announce a bit of good news. The next person responds by turning it into bad news, the person after that continues the chain by changing it back to good news, and so on.

 

For example:

 

"1. There's a pub near where I live.

 

2. But they're going to pull it down.

 

3. But they are going to build a new one in its place

 

4. But it won't sell beer.

 

5. They'll give it away. "

 

etc etc.

 

So, here we go:

 

I got a new job last week.

[Stilistra]

Packing cow manure for a living.

[Sodoff]

I get to take home as much as I want for myself.

[Stilistra]

Unfortunately, I have no home.

[Sodoff]

So I am building myself one with bricks made from cow manure.

[Stilistra]

Zoning laws forbid this, sadly.

[Sodoff]

But I know someone on the council, so nobody will stop me.

[Emakera]

But it's from the council of another city.

[Sodoff]

So I'm moving there right now!

[Emakera]

But you can't build a house there, for you used all your manure.

[Sodoff]

There's another 50,000 tons back at work though!

[Emakera]

But you work in another city.

[Sodoff]

So I am most grateful for your offer of help! Here's a wheelbarrow.

[Suverina]

Let's give it a try:

 

allthough it's on the other side of the sea

[Sodoff]

The sea is very narrow. Actually it's just a stream, so you are now hard at work on my house.

[Stilistra]

They build your house, unfortunately, they are unskilled when it comes to dung-house construction. While you sit in your hut, it collapses, dousing you in that lovely mass.

[New Latagon]

But luckily I had just stepped out to get a bite to eat.

[Sodoff]

Unluckily I had bought a McDonalds, so I couldn't tell where the house ended and my lunch began.

[New Latagon]

Good thing I wasn't hungry.

[Stilistra]

Sadly, I ate it anyway...

[Sodoff]

..but by the following day I felt better and had a great couple of hours at the gym tightening up my already rock hard pecs.

[Yakana]

But then I overworked and passed out, getting sent to the hostpital only to figure out that I was dying. ( ; How's that? )

[Sodoff]

However, I then realised that everyone is dying to some degree, and that as the process was likely to take me another sixty years or so I had very little to worry about.

 

(better now!).

[Yakana]

the only downside is that the pain would be horid due to my insides will slowly be liquidfing(sp?)

[New Latagon]

Happily though most of the human body is already water, so the painful part of the liquidification won't come until I'm 91.
