Tiger Dragon is just the title of the challenge right? and doesn't have to be incorporated into a story? only the words? I'm confused
No, Super, Tiger and Dragon do not have to be written into the story. The task is: If you win you come up with the title of the next round and The Words. The title of the first one was "Numero Uno" because I was completely clueless what else to call it, lol. Cap'n, however, is rather creative and went with a clever title because heck, he could. So just use The Words in your story! That's it!
Hope to see your story soon!
Correct. Super Tiger Dragon Edition is just the title of the challenge; the only words the have to be used are Cloudburst, Flummoxed, Shiny, Cacophony, Plethora, Finesse, Normal, and, of course, Monkey.
Gotta have the Monkey.
Oops, looks like Diva's reply went up while I was composing my own. Oh, well, this give me an excuse to make a link to the inspiration for my title.
OMG, I will get onto it tonight, the kids just broke up for a 3 week holliday!!!
Flummoxed by the cacophony of the unexpected cloudburst, I leapt from my bed with the finesse of a drunken monkey and was promptly greeted by a plethora of shiny green men shouting, "WE ARE NOT NORMAL!"
[just practicing...maybe a real story later - Simpson]
That, was brilliant Matt, lol.
Matt, you are just as I remember you from high school....
After that, you'd better come up with a story.
how can you have a fav word ? i have no fav word ?
how does one word score over the million others ?
isnt thid discrimination of some sort ?
You're right, Raghav, by indicating that a word with such poetical and aesthetic merits as "plethora" is someone better than a word such as "lots" or even a phrase such as "a whole bunch," Diva is guilty of discrimination of the worst sort! Quick, someone call the NAACV: the National Association for the Advancement of Crappy Vocabulary.
Poor Diva. I feel her future pain. I know how bad I felt when I was reported to 1-800-BAD MOM. I mean that. I felt bad. Not badly.
I am the queen of bad grammar and using prepositions to end sentences with. But at least I don't have a 'favorite' word. Or a fear of starting sentences with 'but'. Or of using fragments and calling them sentences.
Okay, regarding the plethora of comments about my love of plethora...y'all go suck an Easter egg! Hillbilly Mom has "by cracky!" and Cap'n has "monkey" - why can't I have PLETHORA????
Everyone's a critic....
:)
Well, I can't speak for Hillbilly Mom, but my constant use of "monkey" isn't so much a love for the word, as it as a feeling of obligation; sort of like, no matter how many other songs they may have written over the years, whenever Cheap Trick puts on a concert they have to play "I Want You to Want Me" or face a riot, so am I a slave to the monkey-expections of my rabid blog-monkeys.
Monkey.
I hereby confess to stealing BY CRACKY from one Redneck Diva. Since possession is nine-tenths of the law, I shall use it at will until she steals it back.
