Let’s start my very own meme and see if it has any genetic fitness. Here’s what you do:

• Write the opening sentences of a story using predominantly the words of the NATO phonetic alphabet*.
• Post it on your weblog/website with a copy of these instructions and a link back to this site.
• Optionally leave a comment to this post with a forward link to your offering.
• Tag three others (more if you like) by leaving a comment on their weblog.

OK so here’s my offering:

It was November; the season when X-rays echo through the sierra. Returning from the Delta of Kilo, Romeo and Juliet met alpha male Papa Zulu for whisky in the Quebec Bravo Hotel only to find Oscar’s Yankee uniform unsuitable for their foxtrots and tangos. Meanwhile at Lima, Charlie and Mike were planning golf in India with Victor …

Not hugely inspired; I’m sure you can all do better!

Oh and (‘cos I think your zany humour will enjoy doing this) I tag: Jilly at jillysheep, Kelly at Kellypuffs – Not Just for Breakfast Anymore and Tina at Momentary lapses of insanity… – oh and to encourage her to blog more I’ll include the spousal unit, Noreen at Norn’s Notebook.

* Just in case you don’t know it off by heart the NATO Phonetic Alphabet is: Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot, Golf, Hotel, India, Juliet, Kilo, Lima, Mike, November, Oscar, Papa, Quebec, Romeo, Sierra, Tango, Uniform, Victor, Whisky, X-ray, Yankee, Zulu.
