Absolutely hysterical. I nearly choked reading this ROTFLOL report.

I thought it was funny as well....... two years ago when I read it....... :P

It was even funnier when we wuz young back in the 1920s when the surrealists first did it in France. Except the the next writer didn't know what the previous writer had written (if I remember correctly - it's been a while.) Read up on the beginnings of the surrealist movemement!

"Today we will experiment with a new form called the tandem story.

Can somebody please post the text of the article (I'm blocked by a net nanny, sigh).

This isn't new. I had a writing class in high school (1979) where we did something like this. We were separated into groups of six and each of the six people started writing a story. After a certain period of time, we were told to stop writing and pass our papers to the person sitting next to us. This went on until all the papers got back to the original author who added a last bit. The fun part was that you only got to read what the person just before you had written. The results were hysterical.
