It was a simple premise at the bikers' forum visor.com. Each post had to be 5 words exactly and carry on "logically" from the preceding 5 word post. End of rules. Go! They tried to kill the story within 2 pages but the user base were having none of it.

So it gets a bit racy at times and the language occasionally deteriorates, especially when a Scottish biker gets his literary wings. But presumably with no formal controlling influence, just the desire to be part of a meaningful community, they pull it back round and turn it into a relatively intelligent version of that spam crap when you get pages of text with no meaning!

To be fair, over the course of several days the bikers manage plenty of witticisms and lateral thinking and plain whackiness. Page 101 for instance, goes something like this:

It is quite addictive, but be warned, it can damage your health, scrolling through 106 pages of improv. It takes very little time to read 5 words, but relatively speaking, it takes a hell of a time to scroll down, working out where the words are in between titles and avatars and signatures. And the urge to keep up a decent pace actually makes it an uncomfortable reading experience. In fact, good luck if you can be bothered to read it. And if you think we can do better
