The mega challenge with Agent 012

Agent 012 having recovered from his day with his mother-in law was now following a clue that could be the catalyst that leads to the capture of the misanthrope Tattle Tale whose torrid love affair with agent 026 had left her useless to the Agency and the Chief livid with rage.. He was standing in front of a tent with the huge banner “ Tycoon Fred Presents Wonders of the Totalitarian World”. On stage a definitely non erudite geek was swallowing one parakeet after another as if they were the best of chocolate. Next to him a rather tall man was juggling a bluebottle, a hockey puck, and several swords. On the other side of the stage two dog faced individuals looked at each other as if they had the worst case of puppy love ever. Suddenly the tall man seemed to slip and a sword just missed cutting off the nose of agent 012.
“ Whoops, sorry about that” , he said.” I don’t drop things often”
Agent 012 felt a chill run up his spine but he feigned apathy even while keeping an eye out for the other swords. He felt rather attached to his nose. It had been with him for a long time. That’s when the other sword fell and cut off the toe of his right shoe. What a boondoggle. How moronic of him to keep standing there. The gun in the shoe fired and the bullet went through a parakeet, the insipid bearded ladies beard, and into the tent where Agent 012 heard it hit something metallic Looking into the tent he saw a man dressed as the Tin man of Oz stagger and fall. That’s when the three men dressed as natives came charging at him carrying those wicked machetes.
He had a feeling that this was not going to be his day.

The ten word challenge!

The wicked witch was livid. Her torrid love spell that she had cast on the rock singer had missed and ended up as the worst case of puppy love ever. The thirteen year old boy now stood before offering her everything he had in the world a blue bottle, a parakeet, and a hockey puck once used by the Detroit Red Wings. He had written her an almost erudite love note. There was clearly no apathy there.
But the old misanthrope didn’t want the young boy, despite what you read in Hanzel and Gretal. She wanted the rock star. She wanted him to sing to her and her alone. She believed his songs could be the catalyst that would make her young again.
But now she needed to get the kid off her back. She looked through her spell book for a spell of undoing promising herself she wouldn’t miss with this one. Not finding the right spell she decided to forget it and just turn him into a frog.
But she missed again and now somewhere there is a frog on a lily pad croaking out rock and roll songs.
That witch really needs glasses.

All fifteen words in a one sentence story

The last Bluebottle Parakeet in the world and the most erudite just missed getting hit by the hockey puck hurled at it by the torrid, livid, very angry misanthrope who resented the bird being the catalyst that had turned his apathetic son into one filled with puppy love.for the moronic, totalitarian lady tycoon whose insipid boondoggle had cost him so much money.

News from Pigeon Falls

The little town in my basement where the trains still run, dragons fly, and life is back to normal.
Well it’s Saturday and it’s time for a roundup of Pigeon Falls news for the week. It is, of course, a rather insipid roundup because we have no totalitarian tycoon to cause our local bank to fail because of his moronic lending out of money to a house building scheme that turned into a boondoggle. In fact last week we didn’t build or foreclose on a single house.
Tuesday– Widow Amanda Laaksonen announced her engagement to Jarod Rinne, Pigeon Falls longest lasting bachelor. You remember they were the King and Queen of Octoberfest. They plan on being married on the first Saturday in November. Amanda is flying in her old friend Melli as maid of honor. Jarod wanted his friend Billie from Canada but he just got a job as a bus driver and can’t get enough time off so he had to settle for his friend Eric.
Wednesday– Nellie Laaksonen a normally insipid sister-in-law to Amanda got on telephone time on WIKB. She said she was tired of people calling her President a moronic, totalitarian, fascist. He has not sold out the government to the rich Washington tycoons and in no way is he responsible for the present economic boondoggle. She just felt she had to get that off of her chest.
Thursday– Harold Ecola was in torment most of the day. His baby had collic. He had terrible flatulation, he had asked the deity that he usually ignored for help, he even sent a quart of Pepto Bismal coursing through his intestines to wash out the hubris which must be there to no avail. He was depressed. His wife , the Spanish girl he married , kept up an insipid patter saying over and over “no te pongas triste” , don’t be sad which was no help at all. He was sure he was going to die and being of a pusillanimous spirit he didn’t have the courage to face that. But the day passed and he survived to tell everybody at the Fly Inn how bad the day was.

Wrap Up

Very good day today. Got out of the house.Just before we left my sister Dawn called. Ate at the Ground Round had four little mni burgers which were very good. Then we went to Hobby Lobby and got plaster cloth. I also looked at the O scale trains. Then we went grocery shopping at the new Pick and Save. It way too big. We just couldn't find anything and they raised the prices. But the aisles are wider than i9n the old store. It was good just getting out of the house. Tomorrow my granddaughter and grandson are coming and we are looking forward to that. Now I need a breathing treatment.
