Okay!
I could have named the thread "Online Competitions" or "Security Entry", but that wouldn't have had the same impact.
I just entered a free competition from a daytime TV show. One of the requirements is the "Security Box" where they put a distorted graphic image of two words ina box and you have to type words correctly to enter. It's the bit that spambot programmes are not supposed to be able to read.

Have you ever noticed that they bring up interesting combinations of words and names? Examples below (10 minutes reloading the image box) :-

homeric leaders
muffins marks
oddity surprise
brinks Boston
rogue times
outer points
sneaked sunrise
goblins agency
versity handrail
lily overflight
Sunday gate
narrates Spokane
shut Toyland
gargoyle receives
lo slapping
von gift
Bernard rehearse
upstages Martha
aquaria Bellerose
My crumbier
veiling Boston
drooled Elizabeth
Nixon's ghost

It seems a shame to waste this apparently limitless source of inspiration. I wonder what novels Wiliam Burroughs could have produced, or songs from David Bowie (both of whom are reputed to have used a similar technique - cutting up sheets of words and seeing how the pieces fell together).

Anybody up for the challenge - write a verse of a song using pairings from security box output? Add a minimum of your own words as glue to make them stick together, but not allowed to split the authentic pairs...
Of course some of the box contents are just complete gibberish and can be ignored, but I'm curious to see what Mudcat might be able to produce.

Quack!
