Just so's we're all on the same plate, here is the link to the Four Word Story, for your... finding-out-who-wrote-what pleasure: archipelagoexodus.proboards67.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1151426058&page=1
CHAPTER ONE
"Happily ever after" is one of the most inaccurate phrases ever to grace the pages of the Bible, but as horrible as it seems, I am happy to announce that it actually rocks your socks, since socks are highly unstable and tend to do Dallas. All the same, the Bible states that thou shall not commit acts of stupidity, as that may cause the evil chickens to attempt to do stupid dances.
CHAPTER ONE DISCUSSION
Do you feel that the tone set by the opening chapter is religious (i.e. references to God; use of the word "thou") or secular (i.e. doing Dallas)? Is the phrase "happily ever after" ultimately being criticized or praised, and how might this foreshadow the happiness of the Four Word Story's ending, as measured in gallons of blood spilled in the last four words? Take note of major themes in the book that the first chapter hints at, such as the idea of committing an act of stupidity that in turn causes evil chickens to do stupid dances. Such chain reactions of sheer idiocy will be a common motif throughout the Four Word Story.
CHAPTER TWO
However, the insanity of the people of Tonga causes much frustration in Oceanian populations, so the King of Spain must always write only four words. This is why the thongs ride up your left butt cheek like Britney Spears on crack, which isn't very pretty.
CHAPTER TWO DISCUSSION
Could you locate Tonga on a map (Hint: It's purple)? How does the correlation between the insanity of the Tonganese and the actions of the King of Spain sum up the general geopolitical tensions between Tonga and Spain? Anyone? Try arguing that the people of Tonga produce flawed thongs not because of their insanity but because of their hatred of America (shared by all countries which are not America), and their belief that most Americans have no business wearing thongs in the first place due to fatty fatness. You may use any of the following as evidence to support your argument: Britney Spears.
CHAPTER THREE
Since the dawning of mushrooms sleeping with several foreign whores, the history of your mother has long been rumored to be marred with images not suitable for young elderly citizens of Florida. That's why Drew Carey combusted. Insert three words into a blender and add squeezings of a freshly-picked paragraph (for color) and you get more than you bargained over with that guy, I heard he never used a semicolon once.
CHAPTER THREE DISCUSSION
Does the first sentence imply that your mother is the offspring of a mushroom and a foreign whore, and perhaps is any or all of the above herself? Wouldn't "The Foreign Mushroom Whores" be an excellent name for a rock band? How do you think Drew Carey is involved in the scandal? Are "young elderly citizens" citizens who are just now being considered elderly, or just growing out of being considered young, or is this just some poetic oxymoron? Isn't everyone in Florida considered elderly anyway, by stereotype? How do you feel about the sudden change of tone halfway through the chapter into what appears to be a cookbook recipe for good literature? Note how the author slyly lampoons himself by making the subtle claim that the comma in the last sentence should in fact be a semicolon. It's okay if you didn't get that the first time reading; we didn't either. Frankly it was very late at the time.
CHAPTER FOUR
The beasts however are very pleasant this evening, for this we are grateful. Anyway, the giant has a massive growth on his forehead, which appears to be made out of macaroni and sentences -- possibly caused by exposure to many different types of radioactive scones, or maybe some nickel. However, experts say that there's a cold front approaching the remote island of the giant pants; inhabitants fear that they may soon experience some giant panda hugs, since they have lost their sense of direction. Many have since died out.
CHAPTER FOUR DISCUSSION
Given the frequent use of "however" to open new chapters, hence contradicting ideas proposed in their respective preceding chapters, can it be argued that there is any cohesion and consistency in the Four Word Story whatsoever? Didn't think so. How does the phrase "macaroni and sentences" reprise earlier themes in the novel (by which I mean the preceding chapter)? Can you foresee trouble brewing between the island of giant pants and Tonga, whose primary export is thongs? What if the giant pants people and the King of Spain got together to wipe Tonga out once and for all, equipped with nothing but a Starbuck's-sized load of radioactive scones? Wouldn't that be AWESOME?! Whom are meant by "many" -- the inhabitants or the pandas? Hasn't the world lost pandas enough?
CHAPTER FIVE
Extinction will never do anything compared to flaming fire applied to rocks on a high ocean of paper hats, flowing through the fingers of almighty God Himself, although He hasn't been known to suddenly brush off the will of others. Sometimes, however, he feels You can't stop the disco fever, as shown in the study conducted by the returning fungi which continues to grow
CHAPTER FIVE DISCUSSION
