Everybody Wordzzle!

Photobucket

It’s Saturday Wordzzle time again! It’s hosted by Raven over at Views From Raven’s Nest. You can get all the rules and regulations over there. To be honest with you, I might not be following the rules precisely because I haven’t really read them. By now you kids should know by now not to ever use me as an example anyway.

Anyway, here are this weeks words...

Arbitration
Music
Frankincense
Trojan Horse
Bottomless Pitt
Fantastic
Pugnacious
Trivial Pursuit
Salamanders
Balderdash


“A Good Day”

Today was a really good day. First thing this morning I won my arbitration hearing. I had been accused of uploading a Trojan Horse to the company’s network. It was bullshit, and at the hearing I was able to prove my innocence.

My union rep was really fantastic! He’s a pugnacious little bastard who has a bottomless pit for a soul, which makes him perfect for his job. Of course, the fact that my boss, the CEO of a computer networking company, doesn’t know a damn thing about computers didn’t hurt either.

To celebrate my victory I headed down to Clancy’s Pub where it was Trivial Pursuit night. Needless to say I won! And first place tonight was two tickets to see The Salamanders in concert next weekend! How exciting is that? I’m a HUGE fan of punk music and their last CD, “Balderdash” is one of my all time favorites.

I think I’ll grab a bottle of wine on my way home. Then when I get there fire up some frankincense and chill out the rest of the night and revel in my good fortune.

Yeah, it’s been a very good day.



And here are this weeks words for the Wordzzle Mini-Challenge...

Maniac
Video Store
Telephone Pole
Flute Player
Windy Day


“A Sneak Peek”

I was walking down the street this morning on my way to Dunkin Doughnuts for some breakfast when I noticed Carmella across the street from me. She’s a flute player in the school band and she had iPod with her and was dancing around like a maniac.

Her dancing, along with the fact that it was a windy day resulted in her skirt constantly flying up showing off her perfect little ass and her cute pink thong. I got so distracted by her that I almost ran into a telephone pole and then missed the doughnut shop and walked into the adult video store instead. That was really embarrassing, but it was worth it.

35 CYNICS:

RockDog said...

Cheers to pink thongs and skirts!

Good stories Jay!

Is it wrong that I like the word "pugnacious"?

Farmer*swife said...

Wow! Great job! (Did you cheat? It's barely 11;pm here tonight...and you posted like 20 minutes ago...oh, wait..

[my brain kicks in and instead of counting the time barrier I actually look at the time shown on your post, duh]

You did cheat...by a little. Whoop! But that makes you the first!!!!

Well, first wordzuzzle thingie I've read. Hey? I'm waitin out the snore factor...finally broke open the cork on the new wine bottle and currently absorbing the otc sleep aid gel cap.

Good Job! Too many rules for me. I gotta' stick to what I can fit in my schedule so I'm stuck on PFC and WWC.

Farmer*swife said...

Crap, that ")" fell out of my comment again. WTCrap! Stupid key board. Stupid fingers...

Farmer*swife said...

uh-oh....it's happening again. I've found another bloggie to stalk...

(shhhhh, don't tell on me...but I think I am now stalking you too....in threes.

Keshi said...

**Her dancing, along with the fact that it was a windy day resulted in her skirt constantly flying up..

happens often to me and I hate it. :)


Good write-up with all those words Jay!

Keshi.

fiwa said...

Good job! I like all these word challenges, they make for good reading.

happy saturday -

The Pirate said...

Cool stories, but I have a few more days before I can read about skirts and pink things and not get hunger pangs...

Um, I didn't know there were rules. I hate rules and I'm not reading them. In fact, I may post my next story in Sanskrit.

Lu' said...

I'm a fan of slap stick so I appreciate the almost smacking into the telephone pole. I'll bet more accidents are caused by sweet youg things and their pretty pink thongs.

R.E.H. said...

Damn, you're good Jay! I'm sitting out this weeks Wordzzle... but you did a wonderful job of it!

The first one was really creative, and the second one had me laughing out loud. Wonderful reading! :)

Matt-Man said...

Having worked for five years as a Union Rep for Service Employees International Union (SEIU), your description of the aforementioned rep, was right on. Cheers!!

Dana said...

Jay, you are so good at the Wordzzle! I needed the laugh!!

Raven said...

These were excellent... First one was my favorite...

Please, though, you must stop spreading this nasty rumor that there are rules. There are no rules. There are words and the idea is to join them into a cohesive paragraph. The idea is to be as concise as you can but it isn't a rule. My guidelines link really is just that - tricks for dealing with impossible words that sometimes rear their ugly heads. Let me say here there are no rules for Wordzzles and that even if there were any, I'm a firm believer in the idea that rules are meant to be broken so even if there were rules it wouldn't matter. Whew!

Real Live Lesbian said...

Please, please turn this game into porn! LOL


Great stories and you know I love anything with a pink thong involved!

The Lone Beader said...

LOL!

Kim said...

They were both great! I can certainly hear your voice in your wordzzles...I bet you tell a great story, too, don't you?!

Thanks for playing!

SnoopMurph said...

Hi! Just checking out your Wordzzles and they are great!

Who cares about rules??

a. beaverhausen said...

Should I learn more about computers to understand what a Trojan Horse is? Because...my knowledge of Ancient History isn't helping at all.

Jay said...

Rockdog: Everybody loves pink thongs. I have a couple of my own.

Farmers*Wife: I love your rambling incoherent comments. LOL

I might have cheated a little, and posted a bit early, but that's okay.

Keshi: A little video of that happening to you would be much appreciated. ;-)

Fiwa: They're a lot of fun. You should play along.

Pirate: There are no rules. I was joking.

Jay said...

Lu: Yeah, those girls walking around town don't know what a threat to an orderly society they really are.

REH: I noticed you didn't sit it out this week. I knew you wouldn't be able to resist the temptation!

Matt-Man: That's the only way a person in that position can be.

Dana: Thanks babe!

Jay said...

Raven: Yeah, I was actually just joking. I was trying to keep up my image as a take no prisoners, bad-ass, reject societal norms type rebel. ;-)

RLL: Well, I thought of that, but God knows I don't want to offend anyone. LOL ;-)

Lone Beader: ;-)

Kim: Well, my bad redneck accent takes away from my story telling abilities. haha

Snoopmurph: I guess I'm not the only rebel huh? Rules schmools!

A. Beverhousen: Trojan Horse = a file or attachment that has a computer virus hidden inside of it that is released when somebody opens the file.

Akelamalu said...

Those were both excellent but I paticularly loved the mini wordzzle it made me LOL! Thanks for stopping by to check out mine too. :)

the teach said...

Jay, great wordzzles! You did such a good and interesting job! Thanks for stopping by my first wordzzles! :D

Dianne said...

"pugnacious bastard with a bottom less pit for a soul" - oh how I love that.

and this is the second week in a row that I think the second story actually happened to you ;)

finally - I must tell Kim what a sexy voice you have - NOT redneck at all, far more Southern Gentleman. She'll have to catch the next vlog. Or you could vlog your next Wordzzle!! Seated in a big leather chair, wearing a smoking jacket and reading aloud.

What could be cooler than that?

Micky-T said...

You..are..one..witty bastard!
Great short stories!

The thought of you having a pink thong really scares the shit out of me though!!!!!!!

Jay said...

Akelamalu Thanks for coming by! This is fun!

The Teach: Glad you liked it! Thanks for coming by.

Diane: Or I could read the story while drinking a Miller Lite out of a can and smoking a generic cigarette while covered in Doritos dust. Pretty good plan huh? ;-)

Micky T.: I don't know why my thong scares you. I'm pretty sexy in it. LOL ;-)

Karen said...

Since you said Everybody Wordzzle...I Wordzzled. I listen to you, Jay. That is how I roll.

Kell said...

You're awesome at this. I can't wait for the next one.

DirkStar said...

Sigh, another night of blowouts...

U.N.C. will take on U.C.L.A. in the final game.

The fun is over...

Jay said...

Karen: The world would be a better place if more people would listen to me! ;-)

Kell: You should do this too. You'd be great at it!

Dirk: Louisville tried to make a comeback, but they just didn't have enough game. Lots of stupid mistakes.

I'm waiting for the Texas/Memphis game tomorrow. I expect it to be a good game. I've got the Horns in the finals against UNC in my bracket.

Richard said...

Jay you can't be really that cynical if you like pink thongs and mini-skirts. That's a very positive and uplifting subject.

Thanks for coming by my site and commenting.

Cheryl said...

You're a natural Jay. You're also getting exercise. Brain exercise, you know? I'm brain lazy.

Betty said...

May I say, "I told you so!" I knew you could write fiction. Now, keep writing, and submit something for publication. Dare ya.

Inarticulate Fumblings said...

"showing off her perfect little ass and her cute pink thong."

I think I could have said by a patron (other than me) last night at the gay bar we were at.

Jay said...

Cheryl: Yeah a little brain exercise is a always a good thing. Well, almost always. It gives me a headache sometimes. ;-)

Betty: Well, lets not carried away here.

Inarticulate Fumblings: I'm sure there were some nice asses there too!

jAMiE said...

Well done...i think...but why do i feel lost here? lol
