Add a line story... Who wants to play?

   ThoughtfulSpotposted 13 years ago

   I remember doing these as kids, and thought it would be a fun distraction during the hectic holiday season.  Everyone adds one line to the story.  Every now and then I'll try (or someone else can too if they feel the urge) to copy and paste all the story lines into a post so its easier to read. Here goes...
