Word Association with a twist....

[PennSkinsFan]

This will be one long friggin story. We will start with an opeining phrase, then anyone that decides to add, can not add a word, but at least 12 words or it gets deleted

Beginning phrase....

Alone outside the condo on the deck leading to the sand dunes, I could smell the salt air and hear the faint sounds of....
Next up

[Spence]

...the tide lapping against the shore. A slight breeze blew in from off the water, sending the wind chimes behind my left shoulder into a symphony of high-pitched ringing.

[Skinzaholic]

I winced as the sound rattled my already aching head, courtesy of a night I shouldn't have been allowed out.

[CarMike]

I should have listened to Lavar when he told me to stop after I did the body shot off of the 50 year old woman who was wearing a Ramsey jersy.

[AGibbsGirl]

Shuddering with the memory, I took a long swig of coffee, as if to wash a bad taste from my mouth and turned my attention toward the beach. Someone was marching toward the condo.
"Hey Lavar!" I yelled inside. "Isn't that...

[Skinzaholic]

"... your mother? She looks pretty mad!". Hearing a grunt, a moan, and then a crash followed by cursing I smiled to myself.

[PennSkinsFan]

Lavar is screwed, I thought maliciosuly. I set him up, and the onl;y person that will still kick his ass, well his Momma.

[CarMike]

"How dare you let your friend do body shots off of an old ladies chest", said mama Lavar. "Didn't you realize that he could have come down with........

[Skinzaholic]

"... a serious case of the Bends?" Grabbing her chest, Mama Lavar sat down with a huff in the nearest chair... clearly out of breath from the jog up the beach.

[Seebs]

Few moments later, she turned back to her beloved son and told him "Lavar, this is miserable, the only way to apologize is to bring me ...

[CarMike]

Few moments later, she turned back to her beloved son and told him "Lavar, this is miserable, the only way to apologize is to bring me ...

A Super Bowl ring for the 2003-2004 season. Lavar said, "Momma Lavar, I promise I'll bring you the ring. Just don't you......

[PennSkinsFan]

worry about it. With our team, Momma, in the hands of Mr. Ramsey, Momma were gonna be damn good.

[TexSkin]

Then momma slapped Lavar across the head. She said you better or Momma is gonna give you a whooping. She was just about to leave when...

[Skinzaholic]

...the doorbell rang. Glancing up through the top of her bifocals, Mama Lavar saw a looming figure blocking out the sun on the front porch. Motioning for Lavar to open the door, she gasped as in walked...

[PennSkinsFan]

what looked like, ummm, the Hulk! With further inspection, she saw a behometh of a man, and he had on a Jersey that saif "JANSEN"....

[Seebs]

... Coming back to her senses she started yelling at Jon : "don't ever do that again, you shall better go protect our Ram or....

[Skinzaholic]

"... I'm gonna tape YOU to a goalpost and hose water into your face!" Jon Jansen stood there, like a mountain... and yet the look on his face showed that he believed Mama Lavar meant what she said.

[AGibbsGirl]

I sat there trying not to laugh as I watched the exchange between the diminutive woman and the two cowering men.
My cell phone began to ring.
"Hello?"
"Yes sir, she's here, one moment please."
Turning toward Lavar's Mom I held out the phone toward her.

"It's for you, it's Mr...."

[PennSkinsFan]

Snyder. He wants to know where in the hell Lavar is?" "There is a photo op he is suppossed to be at."
Momma Lavar looked at me with a deathful stare and said, "Tell the man to wait or I will slap him silly." I shimmered at the though of having to relay this to Mr. Snyder. "Ummm, Mr, ummmm, Snyder....

[Skinzaholic]

"... Lavar is on his way." Snapping shut the phone I turned my gaze from Mama Lavar's icy glare and quickly finished my now cold cup of coffee.

[rskinsfan10]

"LaVar", she shouted, "How dare you duck you responsibiltities in such a childish manner. Mr. Snyder pays you damn good money to do whatever he says, and damnit son you better get on your merry way before I.......

[Seebs]

chose to adopt good old Ray lewis as my son instead of you! What all your nice friends will think if you are not able to...

[jsarno]

own up to your word! Don't make me take out the beatin stick, because you know what will happen when momma gets the beatin stick...

[Skinzaholic]

"... out!" With that, Mama Lavar grabbed her cane and started after Lavar. The chase continued around the kitchen and out the door, across the beach. Jon Jansen and I just stood there for a moment watching the excitment. After a longer then usual pause, Jon cleared his throat an mumbled, "Hello..."

[JoeDaSchmoe]

"I came here looking for that 50-year-old with the body shots." "Jon!" I exclaimed. "How could you want to...."

[AGibbsGirl]

"...find my mother?" He asked sarcastically, one dark brow raised as his eyes narrowed.
I shot to my feet and leaped off the deck to the sand below, running for my life. I figured I could easily escape a lumbering giant like Jansen,
But what I didn't count on was...

[Chief Seeway]

"...Jon's expertise with his lasso. Falling flat on my face and swallowing a mouthfull of sand, I reached into my pocket for..."

[PennSkinsFan]

"...my pcoket knife" Quickly, i sliced the rope loop that slid down to my waist, freeing myself. Desparately, I jumped up, and began the dash through the sand, opening a comfortable distance between my self and Big Jon.

As I glanced over my shoulder to measure my lead, I suddenly became horrified when i saw number 28 in the chase, on the side of Jansen. At that point....

[Seebs]

I remembered good old Tony Dorsett, if he was chased downed, i would need a miracle to escape from freaking #28...

[JoeDaSchmoe]

...a miracle in the form of #56. I whipped out my cell phone and dialed 1-800-HELP!-LAVAR, and instantly a behemoth in a Redskins jersey was standing next to me.....

[BigDaddyBohnzie]

but in astonishment, it wasn't Lavar who casted a huge shadow over me, but Big Daddy Wilkinson. He told me that Lavar, stuck in the photo shoot, sent him instead. I looked in disbelief, as my whole life sat in the hands of...

[PennSkinsFan]

a rather large Defensive Tackle that is slow, and at time overweight.

I though to myself "maybe, just maybe, Mr. Jansen will show kindness and mercy, as I am sure he will whip Mr. Wilkinson aside"

Just then....

[AGibbsGirl]

An even larger shadow blotted out the first.
"Jon, you leave this man alone this instant!"
To my astonishment Jansen schreeched to a halt and replied, "Yes Mama."
Turning back toward me she said, "Now, as for you...

[Skinzaholic]

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

I jumped at the sound of the alarm clock near my head. The dream a quickly fading memory, I wiped the sweat from my brow and rubbed my eyes.

Yep, it was all as I left it last night. Me, a rookie just out of college, and invited to the Washington Redskins training camp. I paused for a moment to scan my temporary home at Dickinson College before placing my feet on the floor.

I thought to myself "it won't be long now before I belong to best damn football franchise in the world...the Washington Redskins!!!" Just then my roommate tells me to "shut up"...to my surprise I wasn't thinking to myself, I was speaking out loud, so I told him to.....

[Chief Seeway]

...to give me back my underware. I've always heard of the hardships of training camp, but the "two pair of skivys per" was getting hard to deal with. After getting dressed my room-mate and I went to eat breakfast only to be confronted before we got to the mess hall by none other then...

[JoeDaSchmoe]

...Coach Spurrier himself. "What are y'all doin' headin' to the mess hall so late?" he asked. "Y'all should be out there pitchin' and catchin' to each other by now!" With that Coach pushed by us, vibrating his lips in the process, and we exchanged glances before continuing towards our food....

[AGibbsGirl]

Jansen was already there. I shuddered when I saw him, the dream still fresh in my mind. He grinned and dug into his pancakes. Grabbing some food I went over and sat down next to...

[jsarno]

none other than Daniel Snyder. I asked him why he was in the players only mess hall, and he replied with a crazy voice, "watch it boy or you'll never make this team". Nervous as hell I apologized like a 5 year old, but my roommate said....

[TexSkin]

Snyder was just joking. So I felt more at ease. Just then Darrell Green walked in and was about to give a speech when I realized that....

[jsarno]

he's retired. Or was he???? I recalled his times he said he was going to quit but stayed, so I thought maybe he was having a change of heart. Darrell stood up by the microphone and said to evreyone....

[JoeDaSchmoe]

...."Let your anger be like a chimpanzee on a treadmill; confused and tripping over itself." There was silence in the room as the players slowly looked at each other with confused expressions on their faces, but, due to their great respect for the amazing Darrell Green, gave him a round of applause anyway. As Darrell stepped down, I went over to ask....

[Skinzaholic]

... him what he meant, when all of a sudden Rob Johnson rushes in the back door. Hitting some spilled milk, he began to cartwheel out of control. After regaining his composure, he gasped... "Ramsey is missing!"

[jsarno]

The entire room gasped. Spurrier started to cry. Jansen actually let his food drop to the floor. A whisper from the back said"sh--, now we have Johnson as our QB! Johnson probably kidnapped him!" Johnson heard the whisper and in a fit of rage....

[AGibbsGirl]

...lobbed a perfectly spiraling baked potato at the man's head. The room erupted as food flew everywhere. Above the din a voice was heard. It was Snyder, "To the first man who returns Ramsey I'll give...

[jsarno]

A MMMMMILLION DOLLARS!!!!
All the camp players left their food and bolted out the door. Meanwhile the elder players sat there looking at each other with the same thought; "only a million??? If I was missing, I'd be worth more than that." Just then Dave Fiore stood up to say....

[PennSkinsFan]

"relax, he'll turn up folks" Right then, a ton of faces turned with puzzled looks at Fiore. Quickly, he became anxious and had a guilt look in his beady eyes. Fiore started laughing loudly and yelled....

[jsarno]

"THE DALLAS COWOYS TOOK HIM!!!!"
Quickly the attitudes turned from panic to anger. This was no longer a camp, it was a small army ready to pound on the Cowboys. Tre Johnson stood up to say...

[Skinzaholic]

..."My this story is taking some strange turns!" The room grew suddenly very still as confused faces turned toward Dave. Even Dave looked bewildered and saud, "Now why did I say that?"
