Christina wons the impromptu fiction crown tonight.

Christina (12:44:23 AM): okay, once upon the time there was a man named hamburger harry who worked in his family's hamburger stand
Steve (12:44:40 AM): How long had his family owned it?
Christina (12:44:51 AM): generations upon generations
Christina (12:45:02 AM): and he had never done anything else except work there
Steve (12:45:08 AM): What about school?
Christina (12:45:13 AM): and he was pretty bored, work sucked the life out of him, and he wanted more
Steve (12:45:23 AM): I feel that.
Christina (12:45:35 AM): he only went up to learning how to work a cash register, and after that, that was all he needed to work at the family biz
Steve (12:45:50 AM): True.
Christina (12:46:11 AM): so day after day he flipped burgers and dreamed of something more, in his heart he wanted to be a famous archeologist like indiana jones
Steve (12:46:25 AM): Without proper schooling, that is suicide!
Christina (12:46:35 AM): exactly!
Steve (12:46:42 AM): What a daredevil!
Christina (12:46:50 AM): so he secretly sent away for a correspondence course in archeology
Christina (12:47:30 AM): but his father found out about it, and tore up the information packet that came in the mail the next day
Steve (12:47:39 AM): Did Larry know about that?
Christina (12:47:54 AM): heart broken harry decided his best bet was to run away forever, having no money he was forced to ride the rails
Steve (12:48:08 AM): Like Kerouac!
Christina (12:48:21 AM): luckily he met some nice hobo friends that taught him the ropes
Christina (12:48:31 AM): and so he found himself in the sahara dessert
Steve (12:48:32 AM): Like, tying knots?
Christina (12:48:35 AM): yes
Christina (12:48:41 AM): and there he stole a camel
Steve (12:48:45 AM): That was a quick train trip.
Steve (12:48:49 AM): Did he start in Europe?
Christina (12:49:10 AM): and so on the camel he rode until he stopped at an oasis to get some water
Steve (12:49:17 AM): Was it midnight at the oasis?
Christina (12:49:18 AM): there he noticed the sound of tiny pings
Christina (12:49:24 AM): haha yes
Steve (12:49:36 AM): PINGS?!
Steve (12:49:42 AM): NOOOOO!!!!
Christina (12:49:53 AM): and when he looked behind the palm tree he saw a archeological site
Christina (12:50:00 AM): and there supervising was indiana jones
Steve (12:50:02 AM): Phew.
Christina (12:50:39 AM): and when their eyes met, it was love at first site
Steve (12:50:45 AM): Aww.
Steve (12:50:49 AM): I knew Jones was a homo!
Christina (12:50:56 AM): harry ran into his arms and indy spun him around
Steve (12:51:12 AM): Uck, Grandpa! Is this a kissing book?!
Christina (12:51:17 AM): just then they heard a noise in the distance
Christina (12:51:29 AM): are you saying i look like peter falk?
Steve (12:51:31 AM): Eels?
Steve (12:51:34 AM): A little.
Steve (12:51:35 AM): Go on.
Steve (12:51:37 AM): :-)
Christina (12:51:47 AM): no it was worse, than eels
Steve (12:51:53 AM): Worse than eels?!
Steve (12:51:56 AM): Big eels?!
Christina (12:52:08 AM): a ninja star flew threw the air and sliced off harry's long flowing locks
Christina (12:52:19 AM): what was that he cried?!
Steve (12:52:26 AM): I can hear it!
Steve (12:52:30 AM): You bring this story to life!
Christina (12:52:40 AM): and then suddenly the two lovers found themselves surrounded by a band of unruly ninja dinosaurs
Steve (12:52:49 AM): Why do they all have to be so unruly?
Steve (12:52:55 AM): Most ninjas are so silent and respectful.
Christina (12:52:57 AM): yipes! they cried
Christina (12:53:22 AM): it looked like they were done for!
Christina (12:53:29 AM): the dinosaurs crept closer and closer
Steve (12:53:30 AM): Yes it does!
Christina (12:53:32 AM): foaming at the mouth
Steve (12:53:38 AM): Like dinosaurs are wont to do.
Christina (12:53:52 AM): indy and harry holding each other tight prepared themselves for the pain of death
Steve (12:54:18 AM): Is that a secret dinosaur ninja move?
Christina (12:54:18 AM): when just then, out of the sewers came four large adolescent mutated tortoises
Steve (12:54:24 AM): Cameos!
Christina (12:54:32 AM): it was none other than the teenage mutant ninja turtles
Steve (12:54:39 AM): No shit?!
Christina (12:55:02 AM): with insurmountable fury they brought the dino ninjas down one by one
Christina (12:55:08 AM): victory was theirs!
Steve (12:55:12 AM): Huzzah!
Christina (12:55:28 AM): and so they all celebrated with pizza party
Christina (12:55:32 AM): cowabunga, the end

That's good storytelling.
