Writing Assignment

[qos]

At some point during this afternoon's 'bunch of old friends sitting around talking' session, the random firing of weirdly-wired synapses resulted in this book title:

Tall Beer, Short Penguin

Later, this sentence -- "If it hadn't been for the cannibals living next door, we would have had quite a problem with the bodies" -- was named "best first line for a story" -- and promptly given a shotgun wedding to "Tall Beer, Short Penguin."

There's a prize (as yet unspecified) for whichever of us writes the best story combining the two.

I think I'm going to need vodka. . . lots of vodka.
