Good News/Bad News Game
« on: February 02, 2009, 12:20:40 AM »
Here's an idea for a new game here. The idea is to do a story that consists of good news/bad news lines. A short example:

Billy went to the store, but the bad news is the store was closed.

The good news is the store opened a minute later.

The bad news is they were out of what he wanted to buy.

The good news is a transport truck with new stock pulled up.

And like that.

To start:

Eric (or use your own or any name) arrived at The Price Is Right, and the good news is he got a seat right behind contestant's row.
2nd place, 2011 CSS playoffs.     QSW, 3/27/17, 1/15/18. Exacta, 5/14/21.

The GOOD NEWS is that he won the prize for the post-taping drawing.

(assuming they still do those)
I support The Price is Right.

The bad news is they don't do those.

The bad news is he won a set of Price is Right DVD's, which he already had.

The bad news was, it was in yen, and there were no money exchange machines for 400 miles!
