Discussion thread -- March 2017 75-word Writing Challenge

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Coast -- It takes all the running you can do to stay in the same place.

Heijan Xavier -- One's calling is a harsh mistress.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

NbDawn -- It's a filthy job but someone's got to do it.

 

[Parson]

@Heijan Xavier .... Is taking us to a place where not only is work one man's love, but his work loves him back and the story shows us the truth about "The Blithe-Dale Work-Place Romance."

@NbDawn .... Is thinking about the poor waste management engineer who has to deal with everyone's crap, while dumping a log himself.

 

[Starbeast]

I just joined the (indoor) "Pool Party". Whew. So many revisions on one idea that came to me on the second day, after I saw the new challenge.

*leaps off the high dive board, and canon balls into the water*

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Starbeast -- Living well is the best revenge.

 

[Parson]

@Starbeast .... is pointing us toward a bit of slapstick retribution for a pathetic work place. The only question left is "Should I Stay or Should I Go?"

 

[Parson]

@RJM Corbet .... is writing about work that might just be a little to close to home for many of us. It reminds me of Johnny Cash and "Sunday Morning" Coming Down.

Johnny's Song here:

If you like Johnny Cash, this one is my favorite (Parson loves old Country music):

Starbeast's piece has me thinking about that song that goes "should I stay or should I go, now. If I go there could be trouble, if I stay it could be double." Or something like that.... By the clash was it?

 

[Parson]

Indeed it is.... They remind me of Eric Burton and "The Animals" proving how truly ancient I am.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

RJM Corbet -- Everybody's working for the weekend.

Thanks! My internet reception is very patchy, so I look forward to watching the videos.

'Sunday Morning Coming Down' also a Kris Kristofferson song?

Thanks!

Actually he wrote it. I like Johnny Cash's rendition just a tad better. You knew Johnny Cash lived the song, I'm not so sure about Kris, a movie star (B) after all.

B???

Hey... he had some big ones! Stagecoach, A Star is Born... um... yeah!

 

[RJM Corbet]

I need to give it a listen. Not on this old phone, lol

EDIT: Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid? But basically B, yeah. Good album, though. Imo

You got it Hope. Perfectly.

*gives Hopewrites a bouquet of flowers and tiara*

 

[hopewrites]

*keeps her tiara out of the hands of her mechanics.*

Why thank you darling!

Jaunty little ditty, never could get it out of my head

Thanks! I listened
Must say, I still prefer the Kristofferson original ...

 

[Parson]

Well I'm in. With a story that doesn't really sound like me. --- Maybe I should have entered it in the anonymous challenge? I put it down to @Mouse returning to the Boards.

Parson -- The grass is always greener in the other guy's cubicle.
