My bitch is: why not just stick with subject and verb, why did they (those cloistered grammar mavens) have to confuse everything with the word predicate? ;-) I see you have a Cormac McCarthy challenge for us. If I weren't so busy I'd stay and play, but I will subscribe and come back another day. Oh, and I often use three-word sentences to outline an essay or a story I'm working on. It's a great way to get action in the outline.sc morganhttp://www.scmorgan.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573858483799418922.post-62025315859665196162012-04-03T07:20:45.822-07:002012-04-03T07:20:45.822-07:00New to your blog.

She grabbed her sharpest paring knife. Little by little the blender was filled. White coconut flesh for soup. Next, the knife pierced through flesh. Not coconut flesh, but human flesh. The pain was followed by darkness. Hours and stitches later, coconut soup.<br /><br />---whew! That was hard but fun =) This is mostly true story by the way (no stitches but glue instead). I'm typing as my palm heals from todays coconut fiasco.Almahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17200087028751109902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573858483799418922.post-89545018222965992482012-04-02T23:04:38.619-07:002012-04-02T23:04:38.619-07:00Oh no!
