IT'S STARTED: Click here to read the story so far...and then continue it.

UPDATE : THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP ON THIS ONE! We're very happy with the results. Posting has stopped and our Crack Team of editors will shave this down into one cohesive beast and it will be up in a day or so. In the meantime, get ready for Hat #2.

Normal posting is still going on down the page. Scroll down, or else use the "Recent Posts" sidebar at left to see what has been added since you were last here.

We'll be keeping this post at the top of the page as long as interest in the story holds.
Keep it going!

First in a fabulous and magical series.

Instructions:

Below, you will find a picture. Look at it for a second. Below the picture, you'll find comments. The first comment might be posted by the pictured or the editors. The second comment should be posted by you. If that one's taken, then post the next available.
Why?
Story.
We want to create a narrative here, a scene, a tale, a story. Make your contribution as long or short as you like. Use those that came before yours as a force. Make it funny, make it sad, make it sound good, make it sound bad. Let's laugh and cry together, just like on a commercial. Make it make sense. At least a little bit. Your sentence can end or you can let it dangle. (She shouted, "Blue, my ass," right before stepping in...)

When your done, wait. Someone will jump in.
Then, repeat as desired.

The most important thing is POST. This is going to rock.

Fair warning: Comments that the editors determine are offensive will be deleted. Comments complaining about the deletion of a previous offensive comment will also be deleted.

At the project's conclusion, the results will be edited into a seamless whole by our crack team of narratologists and will be archived (pending future publication) at http://www.backwardscity.net. And now....the Foam Cowboy Hat Series #1.



(Note: if two people post off the same thread, just roll with it. Use one or both as you desire to keep the story going. It'll all work out in editing.)
