Critique Of `One Small Steppe For Man’

How Elvis And James Brown Faced The Music

This critique of Passing Sentence Game #3 is by Andrea Beattie, well-known reviewer, queen of pop culture and editor of the Citybeat section of mX newspaper. Here is what she said about One Small Steppe For Man.

``What a ride! Only the creative minds of bloggers from across the world could come up with a yarn that has just about everything - time travel, bloodthirsty conquerors, Seinfeld and sex, drugs and rock'n'roll. I loved the musical flavour of this story, particularly Elvis thumbing his nose at James Brown's trademark dance moves; a world away from where the action began in dusty 15th century Mongolia.

Placing the notoriously ruthless and cold-blooded Khan brothers at the epicentre for peace, free love and understanding was also a keystroke of genius. And don't get me started on the Seinfeld reference! Congratulations to all involved. Well done. Bring on the next one!''

btw, I was just wondering how about adding a twist to this interesting game. Instead of just dropping out, why don't we drop off mid sentence........


........ and let the next person pick up from there???

Makes it a wee bit more interesting, doesn't!!

Hi Sam,

Nice idea, but I don't want to increase the degree of difficulty just yet.

Will certainly keep that interesting concept under my hat ...

Many thanks

Cheers

David

dmcM, sorry didn't get to draw for this one. there's a hell of a lot going on in that story and too much for my small brain to take in fast enough to get a doodle out. maybe i'll catch up on another story.
