Post Modern Barney has compiled the WORST PLOT SUMMARIES EVER WRITTEN, and summed up a few dozen movies and books into bite-size nuggets.
The twist is that these are not your traditional plot summaries, but rather a synopsis of the more lurid details of the story. Unfortunately, many of the hundreds of commenters on the original post think that the idea is to write about how the story ends. This is not always the case.
I’ll give you the plot summary, all you have to do is guess the name of the story it came from. Click the link for the answers.

A while ago we posted a GUESS THE CD game, where players would have to guess the name of the CD based on the track listing that you provide.

<old man voice>Yeah, I remember when we had to purchase our music the old-fashioned way, through the mail.

BROKEN PICTURE TELEPHONE is a free web-based party game, a variation of the old “Telephone” game you played as kids at a 5-year-old’s birthday party at Shakey’s Pizza back in the day.
The Telephone Game was where everyone would sit around the table, and the first person would come up with some silly tongue twister or crazy saying. They would then whisper the phrase to the person next to them, who would then have to whisper it to the person next to them, and so on and so on until the last person says whatever was whispered to them. The hope is that the original phrase will make it around the table intact, but it never seemed to work out that way.
Broken Picture Telephone (aka “BPT”) is sort of like that, but with a twist:

Here’s another game you can play on long car rides: GUESS THE MIX.
Come up with a themed mixtape consisting of 10 songs. The theme can be anything you’d like: cars, breakups, cooking, songs that feature cowbell…anything you’d like the theme to be.
