"Bits and Pieces"
What's that all about, you ask?
Well, it's very simple!  Below you will find a list of items and a list of quotes. 
All you have to do is include some of the items and some of the quotes in 
your completed story!  Easy, huh?

Your finished story can be any length, but truly, this type of contest tends to 
lend itself to short fiction.  Stories can be rated anywhere from G to PG-13.
Entered stories can only be posted here at Sweetwater Station until the end 
of the voting period. 

Entries will be accepted until January 31, 2003, with voting to commence 
immediately afterward. 

The prize?  A Pony Express book, AND a little TYR related surprise to boot!
 

Are you ready???
Here we go...


You must use at least FIVE of the following items in your story:
An old shoe A rolled up newspaper
A jar of molasses Firecrackers
A hot-air balloon A feather boa
Baked Beans A lizard
An earring on a rider other than Buck! An expensive bottle of perfume

and...


You must use at least TWO of the following quotes in your story :
"You didn't get penetration, even with the elephant gun!"
"I only speak the truth."
"Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid."
"I don't know why he's so upset. It's only a couple of carrots."
"Holy crap, the vultures are eating my head!" 

That's it!  I'm hoping to see some interesting stories! 
Send your completed fic (or any questions) to me at 
Severina2001@hotmail.com
And yes, you DO recognize the quotes... they're from some of my
favourite movies!
