30 Minus 2 Days of Insanity


It's that time again. My brother Steve's birthday? Yeah, that too. Happy Birthday Happy Wanderer.  Meanwhile, February is almost upon us and that means another round of 30 Minus 2 Days of Writing - or as some would call it "Pass the Vodka" - as coordinated by the lovely and talented Montreal blogger extraordinaire Nicky Eff. I think the equally talented but not nearly as lovely Cheesy Mike may have a role in this too. They both are the well-known and much-loved proprietors of We Work For Cheese. Although, coming back with another round of this writing exercise they are really starting to push their luck.

What do they have in store for us this time around?

1. Gouda
2. It was no accident
3. Temporary insanity
4. When Hell freezes over
5. The empty bottle
6. Scatterbrained
7. Hint, hint
8. Damn
9. Dylan
10. Zombies
11. Succubus
12. One bite
13. Incommunicado
14. It has to be aliens
15. My ears are ringing
16. Shakespearean English
17. I faked it
18. Liars
19. Tastes like chicken
20. Chaos
21. Yes, I made that
22. It’s only a dream
23. There are things
24. And then she said
25. Social media
26. Naked and lost
27. How did you find out?
28. And then my brain exploded

That empty bottle in prompt 5 doesn't appear soon enough for my liking, nor does prompt 28. These prompts will be quite the challenge for many of us participating. The upside is I usually post about two items a week on my blog. If I write every day for 28 days, that'll take me well into 2015 without writing another word.

Like a lamb being led to the slaughter I have blindly accepted the challenge posed by Nicky and Mike. But this year is going to be different. I'm going to do something with this challenge I've never done before. What do I mean by that? You'll have to come back February 1st to find out.

Be there or be square.

I imagine "God" will be one of the expletives I use early on and from there it will use go downhill.

Ooooh now I'm very curious as to what you are going to do. And it was all CheesyMike's fault, btw. I had nithing to do with it.
nonamedufus said…
Well some of the prompts are pretty cheesy but somehow I don't think they're Mike's fault. Oh, and as to what I'm going to do? I'm going to write in the nude. You're probably very thankful this isn't 30 days of photos, eh?

On February 29th, the theme is "Stubborn Fool".
Shawn Ohara said…
I would hate to see those exposures.
mike said…
I may take the blame for 1, maybe 2, and POSSIBLY 3 of the prompts, but this whole sick, sick, exercise is all CheesyNicky's idea. And it's her fault.
Wow! What a tease you are, Dufus! To leave us hanging like that without telling us what your master plan is? Outrageous!
nonamedufus said…
Not much longer to wait, Paula. Then all shall be revealed.
nonamedufus said…
Um, Shawn, there is no February 29th this year.
nonamedufus said…
I knew it! (Which ones can I blame you for Mike?)
nonamedufus said…
You're just being negative, Shawn.

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!  You know what happens on Imagination D
