There's this game I like to play. I use the word 'game' loosely, but let's go with it.

Whenever there's a lull in a conversation, I find myself asking random questions about a friend or family member's favourite memories and stories.

Tell me a story about a time you were eating a ham sandwich.

What's your favourite memory involving washing up liquid?

Tell me about a funny thing that happened while you were swimming.

The best part is the answers. I've heard some of the funniest and most surreal stories this way, about things that would never have come up in a normal conversation.

But what has this got to do with you? Well, I've been thinking about introducing guest posts for a while now, but had no inspiration as to what sort of theme or style I wanted to follow. Until now. I want your random stories.

Here's the deal. You get in touch to let me know you want to play along. I will present you with a question, such as those above. You write up your real life story and send it over with a photo if you have one. I post your story here along with links back to your blog. Simple!

Would you like to share your story?

PS. We've had some great stories about cheesecake, pinball, coffee, giraffes and paintings.

    Random is good. I'll play along. Contact me via mchant at sbcglobal dot net. (Sorry for the funky format, but I'm trying to dodge those spambots.)
