On May 12, 2015, at 3:04 PM, a band of pirates

  • On May 12, 2015, at 3:04 PM, a band of pirates were counting their booty. On May 12, 2015, at 3:04 PM, on an island not too far away, shipwrecked orphans were building a fire to

  • David Bowie sang "Putting Out The Fire (With Gasoline)" as he jumped out of bed. There were cat people surrounding him! All had lovely fur coats and were meowing in unison.

    Wait, how did SlimWhitman pick up the story citing the same date and basically the same time with there not being any clue given to him by the previous fold?

  2. LordVacuity Apr 18 2017 @ 12:29

    I suppose it is possible that he remembered the date from some random open fold he had seen 6 months before.

    Or I guess he grokked that the previous fold was about the CatsAid concert and he remembered the date it happened and the time that Bowie took the stage.

    I like the third explanation because mundanity does not really meld with foldingstory - but in an alternate universe without plastic spaceships, sundancer vowed to continue where May 12, 2015, at 3:03 PM left off and started a story. Following her lead and seeing that the grains of her clock had gotten stuck, I gave them a tap.

    Amazing SlimWhitman! I must have your brain for science when you die. I promise I won't lick it and try to retrieve your powers....too much.

    Okay but the BEST line was the very last line. Good job, Futique, that was too funny!
