FUZZ ORDAINED: Banner and Baker

Little raindrops sprayed from little wings, but did not affect the petals the phronik tossed with abandon. Meadow Saffron was the first to pause. “Whoo!” she said, fanning herself with one petal. “I thought for a long time we wouldn’t do it. And they would.” “The way she was treating him likeContinue reading “FUZZ ORDAINED: Banner and Baker”

Watch Your Phraseology

There is much to be said for technical ineptitude. Once again last night, I came very near to commenting on a video on a social media venue. One of my favorites was replying to a comment by getting into costume and…never mind. You had to be there. I have enough to do just explainingContinue reading “Watch Your Phraseology”

About This Wall of Yours

Okay, M. Bergeret, you’ve got me. Explain the joke. Not long ago, I added to my inventory a collection described as an assortment of postcards roughly 120 years old, based primarily on French silent movies: mainly comedies. Among these, among scenes from a Dutch documentary of the 1950s and a German drinking songContinue reading “About This Wall of Yours”

FUZZ ORDAINED: Olivia and Griff

Olivia took hold of her collar with both hands. “It’s going to rain,” she stated. “It’s not going to rain.” Griffin shook his hair back. “Besides, thunder and lightning will make it even better.” Olivia’s lips pulled in. Griffin realized that he’d have had a better chance if he’d said the secondContinue reading “FUZZ ORDAINED: Olivia and Griff”

FICTION FRIDAY: Drawing

Bud hunched his shoulders. That had sounded very much like an expensive drawing table being tipped over and kicked. But Aster was at an age where her bedroom door was a. a shield against an irrelevant outside world, b. the guardian of her privacy, her identity, and her human rights, and c. a force fieldContinue reading “FICTION FRIDAY: Drawing”

Seeing Spots?

They tell me freckles are now high fashion. People who once tried to bleach their skin or laser away their sunkisses are now drawing extra freckles on their cheeks, or pressing broccoli hard against the skin, and even having freckles tattooed into place. The change started in the 1960s, apparently. Model/actress Twiggy isContinue reading “Seeing Spots?”

FUZZ ORDAINED: Lilian and Schuyler

Lilian’s eyes shifted left again, away from him. She wished that just once she could walk somewhere without some guy deciding so small a woman would be easy to pick up. And this was an especially unsavory specimen. She shot him another quick look: he hadn’t shaved, he owned a potbelly which was puttingContinue reading “FUZZ ORDAINED: Lilian and Schuyler”

History Corner

I have saved you time on research through the Interwebs several times now, and I shall do so again. I need only make use of a magic phrase regularly beats all the search engines the computer savants can throw at you. “Nobody really knows.” This time around, I was inspired by makingContinue reading “History Corner”

Joke Quiz: Round Fore

It struck me that I have been selfish, having turned my collection of fine old jokes over to YouTube. After all, it was in this space that I published major excerpts from my quiz book on ancient humor, with the setup in one section and the punchlines in the answer section, to see howContinue reading “Joke Quiz: Round Fore”

FUZZ ORDAINED: Twos and Twos

Unfirom was not quite able to shudder. As he strode across the park, the thought of the phronik trying to handle their job one at a time, though, brought him fairly close. An attempt to influence lovers by less than the full crew would bring on a rush of lopsided emotion. He reassured himselfContinue reading “FUZZ ORDAINED: Twos and Twos”
