And a dozen rooster eggs
And you mix 'em up gently with a bushel full of goldfish legs
And ya hang 'em on a sky hook in the midnight sun
Mmm and then you fry em up until they're done.
Yip Yip Yip!
That's the secret of The Lip!”

100 PER CENT SUI GENERIS STORYTELLING. Terlingua’s literary mavericks, buzzing with individuality and who knows what else, made a perfect evening of it for WordOff 2019, Feb. 5. Storytelling lasted darn near 3 hours, and folks were especially loosened up during the 2nd and 3rd halves. There was a strong show of support for the new venue, Terlingua Community Theatre – thanks Last Minute Low Budget Productions! Even a pooch shared the stage while another was at home under the stadium seats. Yep, that’s Terlingua. It even rained, showing what happens when enough people reflect on water; after all, the theme was Tales Of Water Flowing/All Things River Related (Thanks D.M. for pointing that out!). There was a cold story from Wisconsin, river parables learnt from grand dame La Río Grande, poetry teased from serpents, sing-alongs, memories, love gone awry, and an open general membership to this en plein air experiment most attendees call home – or would like to. Thanks for a warm fuzzy evening to all participants! Don’t forget to do it again next year!
