Does anyone remember Mad Libs from when they were a kid? It was a story book where every page it gave you a number of choices the story could go to. Let's do a SE23 story, where everyone adds a little bit of the story, throughout the thread.

It works better if the story has a little bit of structure and isn't total anarchy. The story has to be based, or related to SE23 in some way. Don't fly off to Mars with the Manchester United football team for no reason. Let's be creative. I'll start...

Jerry was sitting in his one bedroom flat on Sunderland Road, thinking of making a cup of tea. However, he was out of milk. He grabbed his Simply Organic shopping bag and headed out to the local Sainsbury's when...

..his trousers split in a most inconvenient location. He remained cowed between the bins until the shock had subsided and he'd had time to collect his dignity. The brown furry bundle woke up and emerged from beneath the Lewisham green wheelie bins. It was a .......

...not a small bundle at all, but a Lewisham police officer, who had dressed up as a hedgehog for a fancy dress party, got p**sed and falled asleep besides the bins on Sunderland Road. In exchange for not telling his superiors about his digression, the police officer offered to take Jerry to breakfast at the Forest Hill establishment of his choice. While there, and still dressed in the hedgehog costume, the police officer began telling Jerry the most amazing story. 20 years ago...

This caused louder laughter as the others said they didn't even know how to play instruments. Having had pushing parents our police officer had been brought up learning to play various instruments, and he offered to teach them how to play.

Jerry was about to ask what the band was called when the policeman got a call an urgent call from his boss, and had to leave in a hurry, leaving Jerry sat alone with most of his breakfast untouched. The story game him a weird sense of deja vu; he couldn't stop thinking it over in his mind, which was probably why he didn't notice when...
