Question
bonanova
It's been a while since this low literary form was en vogue.
Here are my three favs followed by a potpourri of the genre for a blast from the past.
[1] "But you don't deserve an A," said Tom, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ his student.
[2] "Oh, I've dropped my toothpaste," said Tom, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
[3] "OK, I'll send the code again," said Tom, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
-----
[4] "Yeah, I forgot to pay the electric bill again," said Tom, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
[5] "Look! This chicken has no beak!" pronounced Tom, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
[6] "Never, never, never force-feed this a lion," declared Tom, _ _ _ - _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
[7] "I'll have the chicken soup with matzo balls and gefilte fish," said Tom, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
[8] "Alright! You can borrow it again, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Tom.
Use the spoiler, Luke.
