First lines...a fun game

[bangoskank1]

Ok folks..heres the deal....I'll start us off by putting up a FIRST line in a King story....It can be from anything from a novel to a short story but it must be the very first line in the story...after you guess it you continue by putting in one of your own...trust me...it can become very difficult even for the biggest of us fans...Keep in mind King stories only....First lines only....let's see how far we can take it....I'll get things going with an easy one....here goes...

"Once upon a time,not so long ago, a monster came to the town of Castle Rock, Maine."

there it is....let's have at it.

[Odetta]

[The Lady of Shadows]

Autopsy room 4

You got it my friend, the feather is yours once again. Hey, that rhymed :excited:

[bangoskank1]

Ok seeing how Turtlesong said what a loser I was for taking too long to respond here, I made sure to come here tonight and put one up...her's one for ya:

"No one knew exactly how long it had been going on."

Good luck

[The Lady of Shadows]

you're a tricksy one aren't you?

not that tricksy though.

the reploids.

nice try.

[bangoskank1]

kudos to you...you deserve applause for the quickness...cept I aint givin it to ya (insert me stickin out my tongue and putting my thumb to my nose and making nah nah nah nah sounds)....your up my fine shelled one

[bangoskank1]

At the rrequest of Turtlesong I am putting up a line for her..she's wicked busy playin games and stuff and asked that I do this for her...and since we all love her so very much I of course said I would...here goes:

"My name is Jeff Davis."

This one I think is tough...

[The Lady of Shadows]

hmmmmm. before i say anything - just how specific does the answer have to be? :unsure:

[bangoskank1]

well...you seem to be on to it..I think...how bout the name of the story itself....would you like a hint??

[The Lady of Shadows]

no. but now i'm all confused.

[mia/susannah]

apparently this is a book that I don't have, not fair,lol

[bangoskank1]

I am very good at this game...very sneaky as well....

[alinda]

Its like you know more than we do, have you read all these stories?

[bangoskank1]

yes ma'am...I have read more of his stories than he's published....the one above was written when he was 16 or so...if that helps...

[alinda]

*wonders if you remember that thread on another site long ago
the one where we pondered who was really SK on the boards
incognito like* :orely:

[mia/susannah]

ok, I give up. It is apparently a book I don't have and have never had the chance to read

[bangoskank1]

ok here's a hint for you...and it's a biggie...Dave's Rag....that's not the title...just a hint...if you all give up lemme know and I'll tell you the title and where it can be found...Alinda seems to be very insightful...whaddaya say...venture to guess?

[Brice]

I don't give up. :)

It's "Jumper" ;)

[bangoskank1]

you didn't strike me as the type that did my friend....so there it will stay...I believe I warned long ago that they get harder as we go...and I have others that will make this look easy...however, I assure you..it is legit...I have confidence in my fellow constant readers to come up with this one...only one thing tho...no more hints.

[Brice]

Look up! :D

Unless you are SK you'll have a hard time stumping me for long.

[alinda]

ok here's a hint for you...and it's a biggie...Dave's Rag....that's not the title...just a hint...if you all give up lemme know and I'll tell you the title and where it can be found...Alinda seems to be very insightful...whaddaya say...venture to guess?



I guess that if you are I love you, and if your not:huglove:I love you
so either way were good!! :P

[Brice]

I don't give up. :)

It's "Jumper" ;)

:D

[bangoskank1]

My man Brice....someone did they're homework I see...you did well my friend...I guess that means your up...can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve...kudos constant reader..next time...no hints.

[alinda]

:doh: Brice! Now I'll never get one!

[bangoskank1]

Now Now Alinda....your much better than you give yourself credit for..

[alinda]

flattery will get you .......smiled upon ! :wub:

[bangoskank1]

smiles are nice....thank you

[Brice]

Ok...

Nothing but the insect whine of chemicals moving between refrigerator walls

[alinda]

Well I for one am stumped. How is it the is so much King I've yet to read?

[Brice]

Well I for one am stumped. How is it the is so much King I've yet to read?
I simply MUST go read some more......brb :wtf:

You won't find it in a King book. It's an old poem of his originally published in the late sixties.

[alinda]

about refridgerator people?

[Brice]

No, not quite. :lol:

[gsvec]

[You won't find it in a King book. It's an old poem of his originally published in the late sixties.

Published in both "Moth" and "The Devil's Wine", I believe.

[alinda]

Ooooo, I think someone else has read this poem....

[gsvec]

Ooooo, I think someone else has read this poem....

Ya think? :D Here's the whole thing if anyone's interested.


Nothing
but the insect whine of
chemicals moving between
refrigerator walls:
the mind becomes CONFESSIONAL
(enamel)
murder
lurks
i stand with books in hand
the feary silence of fury
waiting
for the furnace to kick in

Edit: Looks like all the indents didn't post right...

[alinda]

I like it.

[Brice]

[You won't find it in a King book. It's an old poem of his originally published in the late sixties.

Published in both "Moth" and "The Devil's Wine", I believe.

You're absolutely correct. :)

[The Lady of Shadows]

[gsvec]

okay. so is it my turn?

That it is!! Congrats on getting "Silence", btw . . . don't think I would've! :rock:

[The Lady of Shadows]

The house was tall, with an incredible slope of shingled roof.

Say that again and I'll start posting ones that'll kill the thread with their difficulty. :lol:

[The Lady of Shadows]

ooooooooooh. a challenge. woohoo.

but are you gonna post one now?

[Brice]

Okay...you asked for it.

The man in black fled across the desert and the gunslinger followed.

Do you give up yet? :P

[The Lady of Shadows]

oh. damn. it's right on the tip of my tongue.


:rofl:


linda - can you give me a hand with this one?

[alinda]

I'm laughing too hard.......The Gunslinger. The Dark Tower I. We're living it right here,
Right now. Now all that's to be done is to find a 1st line. brb I'll need time to riddle the
mad mono :P

[Brice]

:D

[alinda]

Considering it was probably the end of the world,
Maddie Price thought she was doing a good job.

Ok, it may be an easy one. Hell , I didnt say pass that feather tho' did I ?

[The Lady of Shadows]

that's a good one linda!!! :clap:

[gsvec]

Been wracking my brain trying to remember "Maddie Price". Grrrrrrrrrrr...

[razz]

well you find the first line of "Maddie Price", and post it. see how long it takes.

[The Lady of Shadows]

okay, i'm still searching and sifting through this slag heap that i call a brain but i'm seriously stumped. :pullhair:

[alinda]

Do you need a hint?

[Brice]

no hints! :D

[alinda]

okay no hints for now.....gee I didnt think it was a hard one!

[The Lady of Shadows]

what? the briceman says no hints and you listen to him?

::grumblingturtle::


:lol:

[Jon]

Cell?

[alinda]

:nope:

and yes, Brice is my boss ;)

[Brice]

:)

Maybe, a little clue for them. I'm not guessing this one just yet.

[alinda]

The name of the story sounds like someone or somethings arriving @ the place you live!

[The Lady of Shadows]

yeah, brice is just saying he's not guessing because he doesn't know it. :P



ETA: i originally thought it was home delivery but her name is maddie pace so that completely fucked me up. linda i may just mail you a surprise for this. :evil:

[alinda]

Actually you win the prize it was Home Delivery....a fully cooked goose for you! :lol:
Did I spell her name wrong *goes to check last page*

[alinda]

What an ass I am , I did spell it wrong .Damn ! I am sorry!


Considering it was probably the end of the world,
Maddie Price thought she was doing a good job.


The name is Maddie Pace.:doh:

[The Lady of Shadows]

brice told you to mess with me didn't he? :evil: :harrier:

okay, so i guess i'm up. here we go.

When someone dies, you think about the past.

[Jon]

Since my last post was completely ignored by the birthday girl, I'll post this one in larger text. :P:P:P

Turtle will read my post I'm sure of it...LINDA! :P;)




Hearts in Atlantis?

[Brice]

yeah, brice is just saying he's not guessing because he doesn't know it. :P





True! I didn't know it, but could have found it easily enough if I'd had time. Besides if you make me look one up I'll have to post one that'll take you YEARS to find out. :P

[alinda]

Cell?

You mean THIS one? Hold on I'll call you in a minute!! :lol:


I remember that line, is it HiA? Who died in that?:orely:(oh, yeah Bobby's 1st kiss)

[bangoskank1]

well, well, well, there seems to have been a lot of bickering going on here while I was away...I am very impressed...I will also need to address Brices idle threat to shut down this thread with some hard ones....I love a challenge my man...as I know you have a heavy arsenal, being the one who started this thread I have one myself that shall not be snickered at....but I think for the time being i'll sit back for a few and let you guys fight amongst yourselves...it thrills me to no end...ok I'm starting to sound pompous now...I'll leave...but I will be watching.

[Jon]

Turtle?

*weeps*

[The Lady of Shadows]

oh man, i made the shepherd weep. i am sooooo never going to hear the end of this.

and i cry your pardon, all of you, for being absent for two days.

jon - hearts in atlantis is too general. specifics please?

and please stop weeping lest the bear find out. . . .

No I genuinely thought it was from the story HiA in the book HiA. This likely shouldn't count but I'll answer it now and wait to see if anyone will kill me for taking the feather anyway.

"Why We're in Vietnam."



( She won't even capitalize my name!!!)

*weeps openly and laments loudly, changes clothes for sackcloth and sits in ashes*:P:P

[The Lady of Shadows]

jon - say thankya and you get the feather.

and dude. i don't even capitalize sai king's name. what makes you so special? :P

[Jon]

I just kinda thought I was special to you after that night with the sheep, slapjack and peppermill.

OK


"He looked like the total all-American kid as he pedaled his twenty-six- inch Schwinn with the apehanger handlebars up the residential suburban street, and that's just what he was."

Good question. I've been wondering the same thing.

[alinda]

Just thought I'd gather all the clues in one post. :)


It is NOT in any King short story collection.




To my knowledge it is also in no anthologies.


It IS in a Stephen King book.

...and an extra clue: It IS a published short story.

[theBeamisHome]

[alinda]

*bangs head against the wall*

[Brice]

Awwww! :huglove: Don't do that.

[theBeamisHome]

The Glass Floor?

:lol:

i'm just throwing darts now..

[Brice]

No, sorry! Should I just give the answer and do another?

[theBeamisHome]

*sigh* yes! lol

[alinda]

works for me too.

[The Lady of Shadows]

brice it's a good thing you are m-o-o-n that spells "my main man" or i would seriously consider causing you bodily harm. and where the fuck is bangoskank1 when we need him? :pullhair:

[Brice]

Ok, the answer is The Bird And The Album. I was mistaken though it was published in an anthology titled A Fantasy Reader from the 7the world fantasy convention edited by Jeff Frane and Jack Rems. There were 1,000 copies. It was an excerpt from IT published in advance of IT's publication. :)

[The Lady of Shadows]

:onfire:

[Brice]

News item from the Westover (Me.) weekly Enterprise, August 19, 1966:
RAIN OF STONES REPORTED

[The Lady of Shadows]

news item reported from lettiland on 08/08/08 - palaverites burn brice in effigy. . . .


oh, i'm sorry was that the first line of carrie you were putting forth?

:lol:

[Brice]

Yes! Are you willing to admit yet that I actually AM that good now? :D

[The Lady of Shadows]

who me? you think that counts as a first line? and you're on letti restriction boyo so back away from the letti goddess! :lol:

now, do you want to give us another one or are you really gonna make me work at 2:35 in the f'n morning? :wtf:

[Brice]

Work! :)


And Letti restriction...THAT just ain't gonna' fuckin' happen.

Which doesn't count as a first line?

[The Lady of Shadows]

"the bird and the album" humphf! :lol:

as for letti restriction - the first step is admitting you have a problem and that your life has become unmanageable. :P

fine, i'll think of something but it is sooooooo time for me to go to bed. it's an easy one and i'm sure you'll get it in no time flat but i'm tired and that's my only excuse. m-o-o-n that spells tired!


Wharton moved slowly up the wide steps, hat in hand, craning his neck to get a better look at the Victorian monstrosity that his sister had died in.

[Brice]

I'll leave it for now.

[The Lady of Shadows]

oh bricey don't be mad at me. :cry: i'm just having fun with you. :wub:

[alinda]

Well !! i am glad that was cleared up. Brice, we dont all have access to
such publications now do we? I think I need me a collector on the inside take
any takers? :lol:

[Jon]

Are we really going to burn Brice?? :excited:

[Brice]

You seem just a bit happy at this thought, Jon. :unsure:


:scared: :scared: :scared:

I know you were playing turtlesong. :) I ain't mad.

[The Lady of Shadows]

**bump**

Wharton moved slowly up the wide steps, hat in hand, craning his neck to get a better look at the Victorian monstrosity that his sister had died in.

okay, now this is three games i've got going that no one is playing.
i'm starting to take this just a little personally. :lol:

come on brice - i know you know this one.

what happened? did the board go down while i was gone for the weekend? :wtf:

[alinda]

Ah, do we have a line?

[The Lady of Shadows]

::beginning to feel invisible::

it's been here since 08-08-08 (damn, if only those were sevens -- sigh). :lol:

it's in purple in the post before yours linda. can no one see the purple? is it only working for me? that's a serious question now cause if the colors aren't working matt needs to know. can you see the purple? can you scroll back to my post on 08-08 and see if it's in purple there for you?

maybe it's been here and just nobody knew it? maybe i'm not really here? maybe nobody's really here and i'm sitting here, by myself, talking to myself. now that's chaos. that's the essence of chaos.

:D

[razz]

i can sees it.

[alinda]

:doh: Oh there it is :lol: Would that be William Wharton ?

[The Lady of Shadows]

:wtf:

[Jon]

Didn't Wharton hear a "who?" :rofl:



The Green Mile?

[Jon]

You seem just a bit happy at this thought, Jon. :unsure:




Yes...and I'm not proud of it.

[alinda]

Could it be The Glass House?

[Brice]

Linda, do you mean The Glass Floor? SK didn't write a story called The Glass House as far as I know.

[The Lady of Shadows]

Didn't Wharton hear a "who?" :rofl:

(intro by King)

I'm reaching I know.

[alinda]

Actually the title ( I believe) is The Killer
from "Famous Monsters of Filmland #202 , Spring '94

Feathers up again!!:P

[Brice]

Actually these are two seperate pieces. KIng did the intro for Jim Thompson's book The Killer Inside me. The Killer is a seperate piece entirely.

[Jon]

I just found "The Killer." I didn't think it through and got confused. Some else should take the feather. I blew it so badly and Linda gave the correct answer up.

[Brice]

No, go ahead Jon! :)
