Graveyard Stories

It's the end of Halloweek. That can only mean one thing: Game Time!


Last Week's Winner



Last week, Johnny made a "sentence" using each letter of the alphabet exactly once. But since his "sentence" was really just a random assortment of words, he gave a picture to try to explain it. And, we asked you to create a funny caption for the picture in the PSB Original Game, Say What?. Let's look at the responses.

First off, Elizabeth and Tony, whose captions were "Eat More Chicken" and "I should probably mooooove" both lose. We said no cow jokes!

Next, Lorenzo and Luca both had play on words, one about Colonel Sanders and the other about X's, O's and oxen. They were clever, but they don't win.

We narrowed it down to two: Russ' caption, "…and the ox goes for the hail-gravy pass…!!" and Tony's second response, "After this play Dan Snyder has banned all condiments from Fed Ox Field." In general, we approve of all jokes insulting Dan Synder. However, we are still a little mad at Tony for his cow joke, so Russ gets the "W"! Good job, Rwuss!


This Week's Game



For those of you who don't know, tomorrow is Halloween, and we at the Pake Shlake Band have been honoring that fact with Halloweek, a week full of posts. And it wouldn't be Halloweek if we didn't play a spooky Game Time!

As has been our tradition on Halloween, we give you the start of a scary short story, and you write it. The catch? It has to be a really short story. Here's your intro:

Write a Halloween story (50 words or less) that begins with “I was in the graveyard when...”

Here is our story:

I was in the graveyard when the church clock struck 12. I looked around. "Oh, no!" I screamed. I started running. I ran as fast as I could, looking wildly around in every direction. But, to no avail. I could not find my lunch.

And I was getting hungry too.


Ooh! He was in the graveyard at noon and couldn't find his lunch! Oooh! Scaaaary!

Now, it's your turn.

  1. I was in the graveyard. I looked at my cell - NO RECEPTION. Suddenly, a raven on a tombstone was staring, "CALL". There was no call. I looked again; no bars. The raven squawked, "CALL". I cannot make calls, nor receive. Once more, "CALL". I found no escape from Poe service.

  2. I was in the graveyard when I dropped dead!!

    The End

    P.S. Was it a typo or were you deliberately trying to question the manhood of last weeks winner Russ by refering to him as Rwuss.

  4. I was in the graveyard; the ground shook. Every corpse climbed out of the Earth and stared at me. Then they each moved to the left and went back into the ground, one grave over from whence they came. I was safe. It was only the graveyard shift.

  5. I was in the graveyard working when I saw two weirdos, an old guy in pajamas, and a dude wearing a cloak- I couldn't see his face. The cloaked guy was silently tormenting the geyser, who was screaming and crying. I think they thought I couldn't see or hear them.

    I was in the graveyard and I was hungry. Looks like an apple, tastes like an apple, tastes real good.
