(Ziggy's publisher was emphatic)
"OK, I'll give you one more chance. But it better be good!!!!!"
(Later that night, with Writer's Block)
'Arrrrrgh...Pulp Fiction similes drive me NUTS!
As Red as...
An Oklahoma Sunset? Hmmmm
A Robin's tit?....Nah.
A Lobster's ass?....Maybe.'
(Then it hit him!)
'Ahhhhh....Lips as Red as Dorothy's Slippers.'
We've all been there I'm sure. Ziggy washed out as a mystery, but he later
found work writing jingles for Preparation H and Drano.
If you or anyone you know has written a Friday Flash 55

I'm thankful we no longer rely on typewriters - the delete function is very useful.
I love 'red as Dorothy's slippers.' You are getting that poetry germ rubbed off on you or something.
You're not going to believe this G but I totally forgot this was coming up--been a crazy week--will see if I can't have something up in the morning.
Nailed the lip color!!! Have you thought about naming lipsticks?
Mine is up... it's bizarre.
Hee Hee- you are so amusing! good job
Mr G!
imagining red as dorothy's shoes...and the need for preparation H as not being a good thing at all...ha

I just like the fact that his name is Ziggy. :)
Thanks for another Friday 55!
Mine's here. :)
Hmmm... Preparation H, 'red as a....'
Nope. Not going there.

Why use a simile when a simple adjective will do? Ah, writers. We're a funny lot.
Here's mine: Water
Poor Ziggy, I know his pain! Here's mine: Revenge
Thanks again for hosting, G-Man, you're the best!
I want to know more about the lobster's ass. Was it tasty? LOL
I'm thinking of a 55, but no promises.
no wonder Red slippers ARE in fashion !
If the publisher was a lady , Ziggy wuld have one thrown at him :P
another Love and Lost story for you this week :D
Your links aren't linking? Do they have Linker's Block? (ugh, that was bad....send me to the table with the Prep H writers!)
"Red as Dorothy's slippers" is a description that could be understood nearly universally, I think. Cool, G!

As red as Dorothy's slippers! Good one G-Man.

Better a lobsters ass than someones ass after freaky sex.
Better late to the party than not showing up.

Sometimes it's hard having too many options to choose from - I have the same problem when I go out to eat.
Better late than never!

Come on, Girl! Get it right!
My 55 HERE is not red, but pink. (And that's "but" not "butt")
I sort of kept the "red" theme going . . sort of.
It's POSTED NOW
A late night, last minute effort from me this Friday evening!

red as a lobster's ass cracked me up. i guess that's why i don't write mysteries, huh?
good morning g...hope you have a great saturday...spinning through to see if i missed any...
Oh well....Dorothy always was a bit loose.
I missed an e-mail from my Daughter yesterday. She wanted me to post her effort. You can find it here.
