I'm bored and post-happy today, so I'm starting another thread game. This is the "Once upon a time..." thread. It is simple. I'll start a story by posting a word. Each person who posts after me contributes another word to the story.  The goal is to make the story as interesting/funny as possible, but keep it coherent (no posting random words).

Edit to add: If you feel that punctuation would be appropriate after your word, feel free to add it. It doesn't have to be a separate turn.
