Yesterday, a preacher man was riding his bike around the neighborhood when he came upon a little boy selling a lawnmower.
"How much would you like for the lawnmower?" he asked.
"Just enough to get my own bicycle," the boy answered.
"Well," offered the preacher, "how about I trade you my bicycle for your lawnmower?"
"May I test ride it first?" the boy requested.
"Certainly," the preacher allowed. "Just take it around the block here."
The little boy took off to ride the bicycle around the block.
When he returned, the little boy exclaimed, "You have a deal!"
The preacher, having worked up quite a sweat during the little boy's short ride said, "Not so fast, I have been pulling this string, but your mower isn't starting."
"Oh," the little boy explained, "you have to curse at it when you jerk the string."
The preacher shook his head, "I am a man of God, I do not curse."
"Keep pulling that string," the little boy nodded, "it will come back to you."

Yesterday, a gecko was dashing around the floor of the jungle when he came upon a monkey in a huge limb way up in the top of the biggest tree in the jungle.
"Hey, Monkey," the gecko shouted, "what are you doing?"
"Smoking this fat blunt," the monkey offered, "partake?"
The gecko darted up the tree, as quick as a blink, to join the monkey on the limb and share the blunt. And another. And one after that. And, is this five or... and, holy shit, the gecko's mouth got dry.
"Muh mouf is san-papa," the gecko choked and coughed.
"Gecko, dude," the monkey responded, "there's this big river, it’s huge man, but anyway, a humongous river about a hundred yards down that limb."
The gecko scurried down the limb, right off of the end into the middle of the river where he was startled by a crocodile.
“Relax, bruh,” the crocodile assured, “me and you, we family; distant, but family. I don’t eat family, bruh.”
The gecko was relieved.
“Gecko,” the crocodile asked, “why are you out here in the middle of the river, bruh?”
“I was scurrying around the floor of the jung…
…
… ....
“...and I know we smoked like ten fat blunts before I couldn’t swallow.”
“That’s one helluva story, bruh.”
“Yep,” the gecko nodded, “the monkey pointed me this way and here I am.”
“Yeah,” the crocodile schemed, “so, where is this monkey?”
“Follow that limb,” the gecko pointed, “go about a hundred yards to the biggest tree in the jungle. He is there, completely blitzed.”
The crocodile made the hundred yard dash to the biggest tree in the jungle. Quietly, he crept up the tree to the limb where the monkey chiefed another blunt, oblivious to the crocodile’s presence. The limb shook beneath the monkey as the crocodile took the first step onto it.
“WHOA!” the monkey’s eyes widened and his jaw dropped in shock, “dude,” the monkey shook his head in utter disbelief, “how much water did you drink?”

Hello... I actually waved, wave back.
I do not own these stories, I just embelish on them here and there. They are actually stories a little old man tells me daily, but had I titled this, "Story Time with Jerry Lee," who would have figured that out?
My name is Joe, for those that don't recognize Johnny V either. A lot of new faces around here. I am an old face; apparently, a rare face, but that may change. OOC any way.
And I have lost my train of thought... be right back.

That is an epic wave (of creative ideas).
Anyone else have kids?
I have four, a senior HS, 1st grader and 2 preschoolers. Yes, I have a first-year preschooler and a high school senior. Craynuts, right?!
I often lose my track of thought. My apologies. Be right back.
No. It's not all-timers or some-timers and I haven't smoked or drank the cells awa... ha, right. Any way, BRB.

If I had the time to RP consistently, I definitely would.

I have flaked on PCW so many times before, selling myself on thinking, "Oh, it's just one RP every 2 weeks..." ...it's embarrassing.
I appreciate that, even after all of my failures and broken promises, that I am even still welcome OOC.
That being said, my respect for all of you (especially Lou) I know better at the moment.

I play too many video games to RP myself (not that anyone is trying to convince me to come back or anything.) If I'm not playing video games, I'm being (as someone so elegantly put it once) such a middle class white man, with the sports I play.  Otherwise, work, being married, and trying to save money to buy more stuff! If I could bust out 1-2k words in half an hour or something consistently every 2 weeks for the next year or so, that'd be a different story. But most of the time a RP takes me 3-5 hours to do, and that kind of time just isn't readily available at the moment. |

I have a hard time planning anything out so I usually just wing it. |

45... minutes... *twitch* It's silly to be honest. If I think too much about what I want to write its either way too long or I get halfway through and I start over analyzing. My best bet is to have a few beers and a starting point, maybe a vague idea of the ending, and go for it. I feel odd about it because in my eyes you're all a group of accomplished writers. I can't plan like you guys do. But I can improv like a motherfucker. I truly am an alcoholic, so maybe that's it. If I don't write in the moment as it happens, things get really hazy. |

My biggest issue in PCW is trying to tell the story I want to tell, but tossing in all that match relevance without ruining the storytelling.
Over the years my RPs have gone through a 180 of mostly match relevance with a little story to mostly story with match relevance tucked in here or there.
