Ever wonder why it is said too many cooks spoil the broth? Because the broth ends up tasting like anything but broth. This activity will be a fun, creative way of testing that theory, albeit with a few rules.

Don: "...Walmart, with blue light specials Monday, Tuesday and Friday. Nilsimus saw the value in low prices, prices lower than..."
Noonlight: "...my college GPA. That's what happened after going to frat parties every night, getting drunk on..."

3) Make the story as ridiculous as possible.
4) The story should NOT end!
