Subject: Look who's early! The Mail Sack is here.

Join the party.

Your challenge is one that requires the same skills that you use to post on Bungie.net. Write a very short story. No more than a paragraph. No more than 5 sentences. And, you must include the name of every heist flick contained in the Sack.

And no, I will not give them to you.

This is the way the world ends,
This is the way the world ends,
This is the way the world ends;
Not with a bang but a whimper.

Third?

And thanks for another mail sack.

You say there will be a bright light. Can you define "bright" using the words "Destiny," "storyline," and a date between now and Fall 2013?

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

Yay.... still didnt get my questions answered. ;(

Edit.... Yes i did.

Fun challenge hah. Seems absurd writing always wins over serious writing. Perhaps I can change that.

Let us hope the news loads on my phone too!

The flashlight metaphor kinda works. I'd take it one step further though. Yes we have a flashlight, but someone gave it to the two-year-old who can't (or won't) aim worth -blam!-.

P.S. Love you Deej.

It's too bad that I rarely ever watch any movies at all ever. I have absolutely no idea what any of those movies are except the first one.

Hey, guys, what's going on in this thread?
Someone tell Kivell that he is a lie.

I have a feeling Deej's lady friends used to quote the first part of this posts subject line to him all the time.

The trick is to either be absurdly serious, or to be seriously absurd.

Okay, took me list down. Nice read by the way! Thanks DeeJ.


As Ocean's 11 walks away from their most recent robbery (of a casino, no doubt), Ocean finds himself in a bit of trouble getting out of town. Turning to Bill Murray, who was oddly making a Quick Change from being dressed as a clown, asks him, "O Brother, where art thou?" Bill, confused by the question, starts trying to figure out where he could place his copy of Reservoir Dogs in his new Office Space. Ronin, some random dude on the street yells out to Ocean "Might want to check ya' Snatch boyo, or ya' willy might be Gone In 60 Seconds!

Arbitor they outnumber us three to one!
Then it is an even fight.

Arbitor > Arbiter.
Arbitor = Rank above Arbiter.

A big thanks to kids that did this to 343 after they heard they get an infection game mode in halo 4 with no thought of normal playlists.

In the Heat of the day at the local park, Ronin was asking if anyone wanted to watch the Italian Job, the new version. In a Quick Change the heavens opened like an Ocean-11 of them had been tipped on to the city. Soon there were Reservoir Dogs and drenched people, everyone had Gone in 60 seconds like there had been a quick Snatch.

DeeJ's Challenge

For once Facebook alerted me to the Sack's arrival...I also figured I'd make this Marty themed this time.

After the Quick Change of pace in music writing and Office Space, Marty found that what he had before was now Gone in 60 Seconds. Alone in the office, he heard the sound of Resevoir Dogs DeeJ and urk coming to Snatch up his final possessions. He remembered back to his days in the Chicago gang, Ocean's Eleven, and decided it was time to start Ronin. As he scampered across the rainy rooftop in the midnight Seattle moonlight, he fell and saw the dark shadow of the figure before him and screamed out, "O Brother Where Art Thou!" only to be spoken to by the voice of the dark figure saying, "Brother? Martin, I am your mother!"

Great sack DeeJ.

It had been meticulously planned, a quick snatch, they should have been gone in 60 seconds, like something out of Ocean's 11, but a quick change in events had sent things spiralling out of control. Mike was in the corner, huddled in the foetal position, muttering 'O Brother, Where Art Though?' under his breath, the guy had lost it when things went south. Ronin looked across the office space, searching in vain for another way out, but there was nothing, just the door they'd been chased in through, the door they were struggling to keep shut, as the undead hammered away at it with their untiring limbs. He tried to ignore the moans, humming 'Stuck in the Middle with you', from Resevoir Dogs, it seemed fitting for the situation they'd found themselves in. 'OPEN THE DOORS AND DON'T STOP SHOOTING' he barked, knowing that this would be the end.

-Dr. Carl Jung

I was making a Quick Change in my Office Space at The Italian Job, when I noted Ocean's 11 different Reservoir Dogs running away. Although 10 were Gone in Sixty Seconds, I manage to Snatch one up to take to my Dirty Harry dog-eating demon, Ronin.


Well, I tried.

EDIT: That was only two sentences. Bonus points for brevity!

O Brother, Where Art Thou? Ronin looked up, he was alone in his office space, so Where had that voice come from? he must of imagined it, but he decided to make like a hockey player anyway and get the puck out of there. He had to be Gone in 60 seconds he had tickets for the concert featuring the Reservoir Dogs down at the Casino Oceans 11. He made a Quick change out of security cloths he worked at a bank and he was proud of his job, there hadn't been a heist there in 20 years. He was in such a hurry he almost forgot to Snatch up the tickets, but little did he know his perfect record was about to change that night.
