#GBE2: Conversation Without Dialogue

Peering at the multiple entries for this week's GBE2 Challenge, I figured I needed to add something fun. So here goes a goofy interaction between two strangers in close quarters.

All week long, the lady has invaded my peaceful home, snatched one of my brethren, and stuffed him into a plastic bag to go God knows where. So here I wait, all by my lonesome, swimming in a huge jar while wondering when I'll have someone to talk to. I figure she'll be back tonight, which shouldn't be too awful. Rumor has it one of our ancestors moped in the back of the fridge for years. I'd rather die.

The light glows and my bath water swirls like a mini-hurricane until her meaty paw grips my tip and plunges me into a plastic bag. At least she didn't pierce me with a fork. The thought of that turns me greener as I find myself growing limp in the zipped tight baggie with no air or juice. Next, I'm wedged between some round, fat,

green thing and a Tupperware container filled with something leafy. The round pest rolls my way and forces me up against the container. My face is smashed, so I push back, but it's pointless. She's much heavier than me and oblivious to my pushing. Maybe I'd do better to slide beside the Tupperware. So I kick the round thing and roll as far away as possible. 

What's this? Boy is she dense. The round blob is rolling after me. Doesn't she get it? I don't want to be trapped under her massive body weight. I hate her to the core!

Musical Monday: West Side Story

Tonight we saw West Side Story at the Orpheum, so I had to include music from this amazing musical in my Monday post. The show was fabulous. Enjoy.

My Mouse

My mouse isn't working well. When I direct it to go left, it sometimes doesn't want to move. I'll click it, but it won't feel my tap, so I have to push it hard. Once today, it got kind of nutty and did a shaky-wiggle thing all by itself. 

I had a tech person open my computer and look at my mouse. Other than a few dog hairs falling off of the battery, things looked pretty normal. He couldn't even find moisture from the little bit of tea that cascaded onto the mouse last week.

I think I'll try giving it some cheese. 

That ought to do it!

#GBE2: Only the Ending

With so many stories, I had a tough time deciding which ending to post for this week's GBE2 prompt to end a story and leave your readers wondering what happened to get to this point. Here is a little gem I call, Beam Me Up From the Girls' Bathroom. 

 

            Celia whispered to Macy. Macy whispered to Celia, and I was stuck waiting for the answer that could ruin my life.

            “Fine.” Celia stomped toward her desk with Macy tagging along. “You win, creep!” She yelled across the room.

            Just then Logan, the coolest kid in school, said, “That’s right! My grandma took me in the girls’ bathroom.” The excited boys gathered around him.

            “What does it look like?”

            “You’re so lucky!”

            “I wish my grandma would take me there.”

             “My grandma takes me in the girls’ bathroom all the time,” I said.       

Wordless Wednesday: Halloween Fun

 
And, here's something fun circulating on Facebook.

Musical Monday: World Series Fun

Let's go Cards!

What a game last night! It was the bottom of the ninth with two guys on deck and one out when a grounder slides between first and second. One runner is out at home but when the catcher goes for the double play, he over throws the ball. The third baseman falls and raises his legs tripping runner Allen Craig onto the ground. He gets up and is barely tagged out at home but is called SAFE due to obstruction at third base. The Cardinals win game three of the World Series 5-4! Unfortunately, tonight doesn't look as good for my Cards, but it's not over yet.

I have found memories growing up in St. Louis and watching Lou Brock steal bases. Ozzie Smith was a phenomenon back when with an incredible following. He asked my dad and uncles to do a television ad for their furniture and appliance store. All he wanted as payment was a refrigerator. 

I can't believe they said, "No!"

Below is a link to a great clip from the Boston and St. Louis Symphony Orchestras; however, I can't get it to load, so you'll have to link there.

Finally, here's a fun Pepsi commercial. Enjoy!

GBE2's Three Story Challenge

GBE2’s weekly prompt is to write three five sentence stories. Each story must be independent of the other stories. Sure. I can do that.

Spiderman

From the television set, Spiderman pointed his fingers and blasted the bad guy with his sticky web.

       “Hollywood has it so wrong,” Spiderman said.

       “What do you mean?” Mary Jane asked.

       Spiderman stood and turned his back to Mary Jane and then sent multiple spider threads out of his ass with a loud fart. “Have you ever seen a spider spin a web from its fingers?”

The Fog

Faint street lamps glow through the window of the office complex as Christopher yanks his  work out of the printer and slides the papers into his briefcase. At half past ten, he knows he must head for home where his wife will question his late hours, again. Outside his office, a misty fog settles over the desolate parking lot, so Christopher taps his remote and is soothed by the flashing lights of his black Eos. As he curves around a bend of the deserted back street, something swoops out of the fog and splatters his windshield with the crimson blood of a fresh kill. With his heart pounding in his ears, Christopher slams his breaks and gingerly steps out of the car to see what lifeless animal will stain the road; nothing. 

Reincarnation

After standing in this forest for 237 years, my brittle arms grow tired of holding leaves that will only dry out and tumble to the solid Earth below. We've seen many of our friends die from the ax of a lumberjack, but I do not fear him for he will provide me with a new beginning. The wisp of a man dragging his sharp tool toward me can't be more than twenty and hardly seems like the executioner I've dreamed of for the past thirty-seven years—the time since I decided that I’d lived too long. The kid continually swings his ax into my trunk until I topple onto the rain-soaked ground. Now that I’ve been reincarnated into Fifty Shades of Gray, life has become more interesting than watching trees grow in the woods.

Facebook

Unknown college student Mark Zuckerberg launched Facebook in February, 2004 as a 

social networking site for Harvard students. Who would have thought it would spread from college students to those in high school, and eventually to middle school tweens? But wait, now your dog has a page along with your mother and grandmother. So either you learn how to block unwanted stalkers or keep it clean. Here's the filter my kids must have purchased because I never see anything inappropriate on their sites, even when I check out their pages in that stalking mom kind of way.

Wordless Wednesday: Flu Shot

If you haven't gotten your flu shot yet, 

GO GET IT TO BE PROTECTED.

It's just a little bruise.

Musical Monday: The Cardinals Rock

I always said that the Cardinals rock. Here's a short clip to show you it's true.

Proud to have been born and raised 

in St. Louis. Go Cards!

Soccer Mom

Years ago, I spent many evenings and several weekends on the side of soccer fields watching my son play. On a visit to Nashville, I revived my soccer mom roll by attending a

Victorious Secret Game. The players have changed quite a bit as well as the climate of the game. My son's team grabbed any pink shirt as they held back to keep from showing up their less skilled opponents. A highlight of the game came when a player tried to kick a ball into goal, but instead, the defender kneed the ball back at him. 

"My nuts! He got me in the nuts!" The young man hollered.

So at the end of the game, I did what any soccer mom would do. I asked him, "How are your nuts?"

He went into more details than I needed to know about his nuts, which are fine. 

Final score: Victorious Secrets 4 / Other team 1

Wordless Wednesday: Butt Buddies

At the writer's conference, I met my butt buddy.

The stranger was trying to pass 

behind me in a narrow aisle. 

That was weird.

 

Musical Monday Meets Numa Numa

Back in 2004, my son traveled to Israel where he heard a top Romanian song playing on the radio. He bought the cd and brought the song home to his friends. The teens instantly loved Ozone and ended up dancing to the Numa Numa song at the end of their youth group musical. Soon after that, a fat kid made an internet sensation of himself as he danced to this song. Here is the original music video by Ozone.

And the dancing fat kid's version of it . . .

Monday Music Moves Me's theme is to have a song with a man's, woman's, boy's, or girl's name in the title. Since no one around here knows what "Dragostea Din Tei" means anyway, I figure I can get away with this song.
