The Best of Exquisite Corpse, Part Deux


From Wikipedia:  Exquisite corpse (also known as "exquisite cadaver" or "rotating corpse") is a method by which a collection of words or images is collectively assembled, the result being known as the exquisite corpse or cadavre exquis in French. Each collaborator adds to a composition in sequence, either by following a rule or by being allowed to see the end of what the previous person contributed.

BOOK TITLE: Dude! Where's my Shoe?
SUBTITLE: (There and Back Again)
AUTHOR: by Ted Nugent


EXCERPT FROM DUDE! WHERE'S MY SHOE? (DWMS)
          The air smelled like death.   The words were too big and the tune too long. 
          "Oh, great! Now look what you did," said Sam angrily.
          "It's the perfect protein," answered the girl Furby. "It makes me feel all fuzzy inside."
          She lived on a dying world.  Where others saw darkness, Sam saw life. "It stinks," he said. "Was that a pig or a child?"
          "It ain't my baby." It was hot in the land of the sun
          "That is not the question.  Can someone please tell me the answer?"
          "Do you, like, care?"
