Fibbing Friday — Cars

Di (aka Pensitivity101) hosts Fibbing Friday, a silly little exercise where we are to write a post with our answers to the ten questions below. But as the title suggests, truth is not an option. The idea is to fib a little, a lot, tell whoppers, and be inventive, silly, or even outrageous, in our responses. For this week’s Fibbing Friday, Di’s theme is “They don’t make them like that anymore.”

1.   Mini Clubman — a member of a nightclub that caters to midgets, dwarfs, and little people. (FWIW, I owned a 2008 Mini Clubman but traded it in on a 2012 Mini Countryman).
2.   Morris Minor — A guy named Morris who headed up a minor political party.
3.   Range Rover — Another name for the buffalo and bison who used to roam the grassy plains of the American Midwest.
4.   Hillman Imp — A rogue lepricon named Hillman.

Fibbing Friday — Baby Talk

Di (aka Pensitivity101) hosts Fibbing Friday, a silly little exercise where we are to write a post with our answers to the ten questions below. But as the title suggests, truth is not an option. The idea is to fib a little, a lot, tell whoppers, and be inventive, silly, or even outrageous, in our responses. For this week’s Fibbing Friday, Di’s theme is “Out of the Mouths of Babes.”

1. What is a Moo Moo? What a baby who is just learning to speak says a when he or she wants more of something.
2. What is a Bow Wow? What a teenager says upon seeing a very ugly person.
3. What is a Gee Gee? It’s what comes after an Eff Eff.
4. What is a Botty Cough? It’s an off-brand of Betty Crocker cookie dough.
5. What is a Chookie Egg? It’s a petrified egg of an extinct bird from the dinosaur era.
6. What is a Choo Choo? Two quick sneezes in succession.
7. What is a Tick Tock? It’s the grandfather clock that is in the living room that ticks loudly and chimes every hour.
8. What is a Paw Paw? It’s what my grandkids call me.
9. What is a Heffalump? It’s what a doctor calls it when he finds a very large lump in a patient’s body where it doesn’t belong.
10. What are Jammies? Serious traffic jam that makes everyone late for school or work.

Writer’s Workshop — Collision

For his Writer’s Workshop this week, John Holton gives us six writing prompts and we are tasked with choosing one of the prompts (or as many as we want) and writing a post that addresses that (or those) prompt(s). I chose two of John’s prompts: (1) the word “accident,” and (2) “write a post in exactly 8 sentences.”


It was an accident

I didn’t mean for it to happen

He came out of nowhere

And zigged when I thought

He was going to zag

It wasn’t my fault

It was as much him as it was me

It was an accident

One-Liner Wednesday — Country Music

“I don’t like country music, but I don’t mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means ‘put down.’”

Bob Newhart, American comedian and actor

I don’t like country music either, Bob.
