Friday Flash 55.....


As he bellied up to the bar, he perused the assorted booze selection that his favorite dive had to offer....Black Velvet, Crown, Wild Turkey.
Finally the barmaid saw him and hollored, "What'll ya have hon"?
'I'll have a Rosie O'Donnell'
"A what"......?
'You know, it's quite large, and usually comes with two liquors'!!!
.
.
If you or anyone you know has written a Friday Flash 55, please come tell The G-Man.
I will visit, read, enjoy, comment, Then BOOK!!! So from the most gracious host from coast to coast, have a GREAT WEEK-END!
Also...The lovely and talented Mona is visiting her son away at college for a few days, and has posted a Friday 55 a bit early. She has invited everyone to come and read her contribution.
Lastly, our Kiwi friend KB also has posted a 55 already. Since I'm very low-tech and cannot do a link, she commented last on my previous post, she is very talented as well, please visit her.
.
Peace...!!!

    Ba-dum. Ching!

    I was waiting for 55 bottle of beer on the wall or something, so this one caught me by surprise. Nice to see that the cold hasn't twisted your sense of humor.

    Any more.

    Than it was.

    I'm not so funny this week. Folks, things are about to get serious for my heroine and it ain't for the weak at heart. But at least you know she comes out on top in the end, so that's somethin'... right?

    Haha! There was a time when I would have said, "Why does everyone have to pick on poor Rosie?" But that time has past. Oh, how callous the soul can become!

    My 55 is up ON TIME this week.

    I'll have a drink from the second row from the bottom. The bottle right there in the middle. Malibu. ;-)

    I don't have a 55 this week and I know I was slacking last week too, maybe next week. :)

    Sorry I did not play this week. I guess I was to busy drooling at all that liquor.

    Oh no, I cn not blieve it, Mojo and I had the same idea about the 55 bottles of beer on the wall. You must be a bad influence.
