I solicited writing assignments once on this blog. They were delightful, and I used several of them (outside the blog). So now I'd like an assignment for the blog, if anyone wants to play. For each of the next 4 days, I'd like to write a 4 paragraph essay prompted by a string of 4 words and a string of 4 numbers, which means I need 8 suggestions. So if you'd like to contribute to the cause, please give me either a string of 4 numbers or a string of 4 words (in retrospect, preferably a self-contained, coherent phrase). If 4 words, please refrain from using articles. I'll take the first 4 word-strings and number-strings (preferably from different folks).
Thanks thanks thanks thanks.
*So all the submissions are in, and I offer my petrified thanks. So here's the schedule:
Wednesday: bamboo olive masonry cowgirl :: 13 4444 100 .6
Thursday: velvet understand distance breathe :: 13 3900 1965 39
Friday: heel toe point flex :: 4 7 5 9
Saturday: awake somnambulist macabre library :: 6 8 2 4
In my version of the DaVinci Code, each series of numbers will correspond to one verse in the Bible (apocrypha not included), which will serve as the title for the four-paragraph essay. Or something like that. Thanks for playing . . . .

abe, bobbie, thank you. i suppose i should have been more specific, as i was hoping for 4 digits rather than 4 numbers, but i'll figure a way to make your delightful strings work.
