High-Concept Frustration

Everybody's a writer. Everybody thinks that they have the next great American novel. And hey, maybe you do. But while you're finishing up crossing the t's and dotting the i's on that bad boy, here's a little challenge to my fellow literati.

The challenge: Use four damn frustratingly unassociated words to construct a two-hundred-words-or-less story, poem, scene, joke...whatever. Just keep it to 200 words. Just write it in the Comments box (I had trouble with a cut-and-paste, resulting in a rewriting job.) To start, I'll choose the words. Later, the most voted-for writer will choose the next four damn words. We'll do one challenge a week and close the voting for each after a month. Follow me?

The four words necessary words are:
1. Famous person: living or dead, real or fictional (Full name counts as one word.)
2. Place (on the toilet, Heaven, whatever.)
3. Object (toothbrush, monkey fur, etc.)
4. A second object.

Person, place and two objects - that's it. The words should be as ridiculously disconnected from one another as possible. Here's an example:

Hitler, a petting zoo, Skittles (please don't sue, Mars Inc.!) and a broken whistle.

Hmmmmm....too many damn words.

Hitler, zoo, Skittles, whistle.

There. Hell, that could be pretty damn good. Let the first challenge begin. And since it's the first, let's keep it open indefinitely!

Legal disclaimer about submissions: I don't have a clue what I'm doing, I just get goofy ideas and make stuff up. I'm not a lawyer. If blogger.com says don't do it - don't do it. If they don't care, I sure as hell don't. Also, it would be cool to put the best writings into a great ebook or bathroom reader someday (don't worry, the winners will get their credit.) There - butt saved.
