Margaritaville has been chock-full on fun threads lately. Let's keep it going! I propose we write a short, satirical history of reefing, told by reefers with no intent of being serious. Actually seriousness is moderated on this thread
The rules are simple:
1 - This entire story must be fictional.
2 - Every person gets to add only ONE sentence per day.
3 - No posts unrelated to the story.
4- The story must continue no matter what is posted previously. You have to work with what you get and continue on
5- most importantly, have fun!!!

Ok let's do this.
The story begins:

From the dawn of civilization, mankind has evolved from simple smelly creatures with unnecessary body hair to sophisticated smelly creatures with unnecessary body hair . Mankind's most notable achievements are their incredible capacity for intelligent thinking, the ability to use a revolving door and coining the term "baby mamma".

But who was the first Reefer? Many of you may not know his name. He was Eugene, a short man, related to Greg the brick layer. He loved the aquatic world, yet ironically never bathed. Once, in his youth, he caught a starfish in the bay near his house. Being a simple man, he decided to keep his starfish in a the only thing he owned... An empty moonshine jar.


You're next. One sentence.

Eugene sat in his attic every day and watched his starfish move around that jar at the blistering speed of a old snail..

 

[helenwheels]

It was much more exciting than watching the rock he kept in the jar before.

 

[SpartaReef]

Remembering how the rock died, Eugene was saddened by the possibility he might loose the starfish as well.

 

[studda]

Given the fact that the starfish was starting to dry out, Eugene decided to add water to the jar.

I was soooo hoping someone would go there!:banana:

Eugene took the jar and the starfish down to the beach where he caught the creature.

Upon releasing the star fish and subsequently rinsing his prized jar he noticed several more small blue starfish on the inside of his jar, this must be a sign from the gods that he must be the keeper of the starfishes

Now, Eugene has st up a whole case of mason jars, and greg is envisioning a new series of living flooring.

 

[hotdogg]

Now if only I could find a miniature sun, and miniature waves!

 

[FloridaReefDreamer]

Using some bricks from Greg, Eugene fashioned some supports for a series of mirrors to reflect the suns light into the mason jar.

 

[SpartaReef]

within seconds the water in the jar starts to boil

 

[Brassaxe]

Eugenes roommate Alice, a lamp saleswoman becomes alarmed and runs up to the attic to see where all the steam is coming from.

 

[helenwheels]

Alice was a closet arsonist whose biggest talent was water displacement... But Eugene found her beautiful.

 

[CarlJ]

Alice was also prone to eating mushrooms, talking to people who weren't there, and trying to get to the other side of the mirror, but she encoraged Eugene in his habit by collecting seashells for every jar.

 

[ynot65]

She would arrange the shells in the jars so she could hear the ocean and also to intercept any communications from our government to any nearby solar systems, this along with her aluminum foil hat made her very useful.

 

[studda]

Eugene, after a long day at the clown wig factory, came home to find his seashell jar collection smashed by a wildebeest mad about the recent breakdown of his sewing machine.

 

[helenwheels]

"Oh well," sighed Eugene, "what can you expect when your landlord is a wildebeest?"

 

[Quik Z06]

Eugene then decides to take matters into his own hands and thinks to start raising Sea Horses...cause they are faster than the wildebeast and can outrun them!

 

[Brassaxe]

So Eugine, Alice and Greg put on their sandals and went down to a little place on the coast named "Dead Man's Cove", it was the only place they knew to find seahorses.

 

[FloridaReefDreamer]

It was only then that Eugene realized that his connection with the starfish in the mason jar was a ploy to catch him in secret conversation with the.........NSA....
