Welcome to Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (aka, FOWC). I will be posting each day’s word just after midnight Pacific Time (U.S.).
Today’s word is “pompous.”
Write a post using that word. It can be prose, poetry, fiction, non-fiction. It can be any length. It can be just a picture or a drawing if you want. No holds barred, so to speak.
Once you are done, tag your post with #FOWC and create a pingback to this post if you are on WordPress. Please check to confirm that your pingback is there. If not, please manually add your link in the comments.
And be sure to read the posts of other bloggers who respond to this prompt. Show them some love.

I’ve listened, early on with this newfangled internet thing, to more videoed lectures from college halls put onto YouTube than to podcasts. There is a new one of those in a series form that has popped up and is inferior, in my view, and seems just staged rather than in a hall with attendees… so I wonder where this is headed. In the same subject area as this new standing staged stooge, I’ve been listening to/watching a podcast run by an atheist who used to be I guess Calvinist — or evangelical and I’m not sure how that works. I happened upon one of his older videos a couple nights ago, though. Now, he gets scholars who are really studying to come and spout. But this older installment was just some guy taking calls (while repeating that he wasn’t an expert but acting annoyed when people didn’t agree with him). It was a little infuriating. Another time, he had on something like a president of an atheists organization; rather lackluster. Anyway, one of the more traditional college professors — who is not studying or rejecting religion but conveying history — found himself on cable news [and who knows maybe network also] in relation to Ukraine as a guest expert. But now I hardly watch cable news because it raises my cortisol level the way things are going. I know you’re not a television person. I’ve decided the best time to listen to YouTube videos (whether recycled lectures or new podcasts or new lectures such as one I enjoyed recently from a prominent San Francisco doctor and professor) is while dusting.
