"imagine a scandal breaking out in any work of prose or poetry and to briefly describe the result"
mine was this: softwood lumber restrictions force local woodworking artisan, Gepetto, to take up glass-blowing.
i didn't win. the winner was this one: autopsy discloses that goliath was actually slain by a second stone, apparently flung from behind a grassy knoll. michael nozick in winnipeg.
this weeks challenge: suggest a remark from a prospective romantic partner that tells you he or she may not be the right one. e.g. "i'd take you to my place but the police are still digging up the basement."
anyone want to take a stab at it?
