Friday Flash 55.....






"Here comes Galen, he NEVER shuts-up,
Lemme try something simple.
Hey G, got the time"?

Tony...I am greatly embarrassed and deeply humiliated,
but due to unforseen occurances in the Celestial Movements,
I cannot with any degree of accuracy state the correct time.
However, without fear of being too far wrong,
I can safely say........

Do you know anybody that just can't answer a simple question
without droning on and on and on and on and on and on....?
Do you know anybody that has written a Friday Flash 55?
Yes? Then ask them to come visit The G-Man.
I will visit, read, enjoy, comment...Then BOOK!!
So from the most verbose host from coast to coast...
Have a Kick Ass Week-End!!

    Oh yes! Guess that's why I like these 55's...short and to the point...well...most of them that is.

    HERE is my 55 for this week.

    I talk to people every day who, instead of the dozen words it would take to get their point across, are compelled to tell me their life's story. If only they could be educated in the art of telling it all in 55 words... :)

    Master of brevity, I curbed my chatty tongue and made time to play along in your FFF55 games.

    I've missed you!

    Know a few? Man, I *work* with them all!!!

    I'm up for this week. Still no flash linky, although I have instructions on how to, so I'm just being lazy by not reading my mail and, instead, asking you all (yes, even YOU there), to click on my name and go the long way.

    So yeah... those people who just can't shut up..... glad I'm not like that. What? Oh.......

    Yeesh--you go on and on? It must be a male trait--I just spent two hours talking to my son on the phone, which is why I am late to the par-tay.

    but I am finally here, ready to play:

    I'm savoring the irony of a Flash 55 about someone who cannot limit his words...

    OMG that's my husband!! Even if I preface a question with, "yes or no...?" His answers are sure to put anyone to sleep.

    I did a 55 and it's live now. :)

    Salutations G-Man, Yes, I have indeed encountered one or two individuals of that same ilk, perhaps even in the looking glass. My story's only 55 though.

    Have a nice weekend.

    Laughing, this is why we should communicate by texting or twitter or Friday 55.

    And since everyone insisted on hearing more of this story, mine is up.
