For all those things that come up in conversation....

...also a way for distant participants to contribute to the Tickle Trunk!!

To get the ball rolling...

"Oh I'm just watering the piano..."

Two ghosts, a guy in a huge sombrero, a rabbi, and an old woman are on the bus together.... (true story)

Feel free to suggest silly things for others to add to their novels. Scenarios, snippets of dialogue, character traits, writing techniques, odious personal habits for main characters, world quirks...

Bring on the insanity! :)

Ooh, look at that, I still have a handful I saved from trawling the forums last year!

----

  • Someone who can impersonate anyone's voice, male, female, young, old, all sorts of accents, etc.
  • Someone who cannot look at a switch (any switch) without flipping it. This could lead to all sorts of disasters.
  • The character hates small dogs, and comments about how they'd taste in sandwiches. Or suggests using them as floor mops. Or earmuffs. Or whatever.
  • Shouts “I’m here!” (or something else) when startled.
  • Believes Tupperware parties, AA meetings, etc. are actually planning meetings for a secret underground conspiracy.
  • Always finds an excuse not to tell a man/woman how s/he feels about her/him.
  • Have a character have a deep-seated need to "kill" their food before eating it. They have to pulverize it before they eat it. Even Jell-o.
  • A character who constantly forgets that other people cannot read their mind, and tends to start sentences without finishing them.
  • A character who will only eat certain foods for a meal (e.g. will only eat a PB&J for lunch - nothing more, nothing less).
  • Someone who loves to collect stationery but won't use them because they are afraid their handwriting isn't nice enough so only uses her computer to type instead of writing.
  • Someone who has to have someone else try food before they eat it.

Gender switch - both ways. Guy pretending to be a girl meets girl pretending to be a guy - they don't know about the other.

Dares are so much fun:

1)Character has a battle with a porcupine... and loses.
2)Have a character allergic to cats but cats absolutely love him/her/

That one isn't so much a dare as it is a Law of Nature

To improve upon the cat one (since I agree law of nature)

Have a person that is deathly allergic to goldfish and have them constantly being attacked by goldfish jumping randomly out of their tanks at them
