My imaginary friend's name is John.
----------Have you heard the news that you're dead?
No one ever had much nice to say.
I think they never liked you anyway.

Here are two dares we've talked about:
1. have someone wearing a bright neon green shirt that blinds the eye
2. have someone wearing an article of clothing inside out without knowing

Wow, with what I'm writing, I could put three of these four things in.
Which three, I will let you guess. I'm pretty sure I can manage it though.
No I am almost positive I can.

Hmmm, another one:
Figure out what awesomesauce is and incorporate that into your novel.
[this is also a test to see if the sticky is going to work or not--oh, nevermind, your ML is an idiot. It should be stickied now.]

I'm still in favor of somehow destroying Finland. The funny thing is, it isn't something that would be terribly difficult to do in my own novel!

Have a character tap his/her head and say: "Should've had a V-8".
Make up a ridiculous medical condition for your MC which includes the word "poodle" in either the definition or title of the illness.
Rewrite a scene from any Tom and Jerry episode, starring your MC as Jerry.
Make your MC evil for exactly two paragraphs.
Any good? Haha. Procrastinating.
----------I write because the world must know these following phrases the way I do:
Piranha Kitten

PROT Guide
Dabble Quencher
Fat Mouse
The Anti-Muse
Devious
and others...

Today, for reasons known only to myself, I was doing some research into the history of the Anglican prayer book, and came across a delicious phrase that was introduced into the 1552 edition, but removed by fiat of Queen Elizabeth (and her sense of diplomacy) in 1559. The phrase was:
"From the tyranny of Bishop of Rome and his detestable enormities deliver us, Good Lord."
So here's the dare: include the phrase "detestable enormities" in spoken dialogue somewhere in your novel, without reference to the 1552 edition of the Anglican Book of Prayer.

Hey all! Newbe in Foothill Farms... I think I'll pull up a stool...
----------I'll take that dare...! Funny how things work out... A couple those showed up just two days ago wearing Italian suits riding in a 70's era black four door sedan...
Fun is where you have it...

Double points if you can use the statement:
"It was there all along, cleverly hidden amongst the Torani syrup."
I was challenged that in 2007, I believe, and I totally have used it every year. It's a great idea.

Put the words "Nom nom nom" into your story somewhere, either as dialog or as an adjective (i.e. She sat there, nom-nom-noming on an entire pumpkin pie fully equiped with whip cream)
Also, try to work the phrase, "wazzup my bitchez" into the dialog between your MC and anyone else. :D
Use "I've been the most unmitigated and incomprehensive ass" (Pride and Prejudice - the new one - quote)

- Kill off an important figure and somehow revive him with a syrup bottle... that's golden.
- Prove the real blood of Christ was actually Camel Milk, because milk makes a body strong!
and my last dare...
- Include a short scene where a Jewish wet-nurse steals baby Hitlers binky, to which he frowns and shakes his fist silently in anger.
Sorry, that last one is a bit offensive. If it makes anyone feel better I was asked by my Jewish friend to write it... I wasn't, but let's pretend I was.

@Tama: haha, one of my MCs, who's existed since spring, has a blinding neon green jacket as part of his normal outfit.
Have someone do the OTL.
