30 Days of Writing - #30 - It Could Have Been Worse



Our little 30 day extravaganza of posting a piece a day kind of wore me out. I feel like I've been through the wringer.

But I suppose it could have been worse.

I would have been really pressed, for instance, to partake in a 30 Days of The Wringer exercise.

What about Cheesy Mike's idea for 30 Days of Cats?

Me, I'd have to draw the line at that. Or the feline, I guess.

Or what if we had to write about horses for 30 days? I don't know if I could rein that topic in.

Or movies, or TV shows? I guess I'd have to screen my content before I posted those stories.

Or post pictures of rubenesque models. Ha! Fat chance!

I might see my way clear to write a post about Nicky a day for 30 days. There's lots that's very interesting about her. Like how she doesn't make fun of her family on her blog. Or her stiletto heel collection.

And speaking of Nicky, I'm sure she'd be able to cover 30 Days of Cheese. If she worked it right.

I could do Cheese-Whiz and Cheetos but that's only 2 days. What would I do after that? I don't think I could spread myself out for 30 days.

How about 30 Days of Food. Maybe I could swallow that. I'd be sure to devote one day to how much I hate peas.

Or 30 Days of Dessert. Could I carry off such a confection?

Or 30 Days of Deserts, maybe. But I'm wandering.

How about 30 Days of Hats? I don't know if I could sustain that for 30 days. I'd be afraid of peaking too early.

I know there's one topic I won't be covering off. 30 Days of Sausage.

You see, it really could have been wurst!

And this, thank the Lord is the LAST post in the series 30 Days of Writing hosted by our favourite sadist Nicky at We Work For Cheese. Hop on over and check out her linky thingy and see how the rest of our blogger buddies brought their series to a close.

How about 30 days of nothing? I could do that easy enough.

Nicky said…
Dufus, I'm getting the distinct impression that you no likee my challenge anymore. Which is too bad because I was going to suggest 30 days of puns.

Thank you for playing along, mon ami. :-)
nonamedufus said…
Wha? Moi? No, not at all. I just have a severe case of writer's cramp is all.


It was a lot of fun Nicky. Thanks for a great time.

30 days of cheese is doable.

According to Wikipedia, "There are many types of cheese, with around 500 different varieties recognised by the International Dairy Federation,[1] over 400 identified by Walter and Hargrove, over 500 by Burkhalter, and over 1,000 by Sandine and Elliker.[2]"

Who are Walter, Hargrove, Burkhalter, Sandine and Elliker? They sound like a cheesy law firm.

1000 Days of Cheese? Give me a break.
nonamedufus said…

Lauren said…
I'll sweeten the deal with some wine.
nonamedufus said…
Oh, well, maybe it might be possible.

That is fantastic and a great final post for this challenge. I'm happy you were in this challenge though as I got to find bloggers such as yourself who I'll enjoy continuing to read!
If I were God... said…
I guess it could have been wurst, but it was still pretty gouda.
Nonamedufus said…
Thanks, PJ. I'm looking forward to following your blog too now that I've discovered it.

It might have been better with cheddar!

My Back Pages - November

I know, I know, I know I should have reported in before now. But sometimes real life just gets in the way. I attempted 5 books in November. I say attempted because I slapped a big DNF (did not finish) on Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon. I just can't seem to get into this guy. It's the second or third of his I've given up on, Not so the other four, starting with a biography of Stephen Stills called Change Partners. This followed by a hilarious biography of the guy responsible for National Lampoon called A Stupid and Futile Gesture - How Doug Kenney and National Lampoon Changed Comedy Forever. I ended the month reading yet another biography, this one of the man behind Rolling Stone magazine,. It was called Sticky Fingers: The Life and Times of Jann Wenner and Rolling Stone Magazine. A fascinating read. So last month I hit the magic number 50 I'd imagined for myself back in January. If I roll this month into my yearly total I'm at 54 books. And I still hav...

The Polka Dot Door

A long time ago, when I was 22, my first child was born.  That kid grew up on a little Canadian kid's show called Polka Dot Door, produced by the TV Ontario network.  And Dad, more often than not, sat through those shows with his little one. Nine or so years later when a brother, and a year after that when a sister came along number one son was moving on to Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard.  But there was a nice overlap where his siblings picked up where he had left off with Polka Dot Door.  And Dad was right there to welcome them. So you're looking at a Polka Dot Door veteran.  The show began in 1971 and ran to 1993.  I didn't watch the full run but I did get in my fair share.  The formula was pretty simple.  A young male and female host, which seemed to change every week, sang songs, told stories, made crafts and generally did their best stimulate little brains.  The show opened as follows... Imagination Day!  Oh boy! ...
