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.

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?"

EXCERPT FROM THE BACK WOODS OF JOHNS HOPKINS (TWSS)
         
          Love is such a fragile thing, especially when it's short-lived. They stood in the dark void.
          "I just ate a bug," she said. The tree was tall. They wanted to cut it down.
           He was on his knees, trying to escape the wrath. "I dig these chickens. Can I kiss you, Ms. Bonnie Sparkle-toes?" he asked.
          "Did you know that we have secretly been watching you?"
          "All's well that falls in a boiling pot of water, as I always say." 
          "Learn to use it well," is what I've heard.
          The world was dying. The cops were on the way.
          "Oh, dear," he said. "What did I start?" 
          "Gives you a lot to think about," she said.
