This week's prompt is scurrilous/defamatory . Sammy the squirrel was tired. It was Thanksgiving and he was ready for a rest. He'd been busy since April gathering nuts. Most squirrels start gathering nuts in May but Sammy liked to get a leg up on his fellow members of the Scoriae family. Not a literal leg up, you understand. That sounds kinda pornographic. But a leg up in the sense of getting an added advantage over the other squirrels. Sammy worked hard to have the biggest nuts in the forest. Wait, wait, wait - the biggest cache of nuts.

Real man-men, whatever that means. Manly men doing manly things. Together. They really had a bromance going. One day Pete and Iggy played poker. For money. And Iggy was losing. Big time. The more hands Pete won the cockier he got. For instance he told his friend he was bound to ...

The prompt this week is ignominy/embarrassment . I humbly submit the following interpretation. I've always loved this song and I'm happy this post allows me to share it with you... That's the official video. Now here's the "interpretive" one: Sorry? What? You say the prompt wasn't Imbruglia? It was ignominy? Well, this is an embarrassment.
