We've written a bit about tall tales recently in connection with Berry's suite of flash fiction.
I'd like to see some tall tales if people would like to give them a try. The late R. A. Lafferty was a master of the sf version of this form. Mark Twain and Ambroise Bierce were past masters of the form. In a curious, sophisticated way, so was Saki (H. H. Munro). L'Etranger pointed this out to me in passing some time back (thanks, L'E).
I posted a tall tale of my own devising on this forum for a short time: "The Martian Sojourner."
Anyone want to give it a try?
