A Chinese space capsule carrying 3 Taikonauts,
(as Chinese astronauts are called)
returned to Earth Tuesday wrapping up a 15 day mission.
The crew performed a variety tests while in orbit,
feasting on Hostess Twinkies and Orange Tang.
Shitzhunot 10 space capsules immediately went on sale
at all participating Walmarts for $155.55!!!
If you or anyone you know has orbited the Earth,
or written a Friday Flash 55
Please come tell The G-Man
I will visit, read, enjoy, comment...Then BOOK!
So from the most orbital host from coast to coast
Have a Kick Ass Week-End
YAHTZEE!
ReplyDeletelove the name you gave to their space module, gman. sounds like it could almost be a feature on another of your regular posts....almost.
ReplyDeletei'm back this week here
I got mine on clearance!
ReplyDeleteMine's up on my poetry blog!
You can buy anything on the cheap at WalMart.
ReplyDeleteI hear you can even purchase human organs and sex slaves in certain parts of the world.
I do not need a sex slave, but at those prices, I can't afford to NOT buy one!
At my age, my sex slave will be doing housework mostly. In the nude.
haha...went on sale at walmart...like the name you gave them as well...ha...
ReplyDeleteI've been called a space cadet a few times, but I don't think that's the same thing.
ReplyDeleteMine is up
When I first saw the photo, I thought it was a giant tea cup! lol!
ReplyDeleteMy 55:

Jesus, man, everyone
honking horns
sitting 20 minutes--
4 lanes reduced to one
taking turns
w/ choice words & birds---
across waves
rising off fresh asphalt
water rivulet-ing
the flattener machine roller
to impede sticking
rumbling LOUD chug'a
PROGRESS
& you turn the sign STOP2SLOW
relieving PReSSure
how much love
is that paycheck worth?
Everytime I'm stuck in Gridlock
ReplyDeleteI thank God I live in Podunk Flint!
Great inspiration though
Thanks for the odd post 55
You are in such demand... Hehehe
Have a Kick Ass Week End
Plus, apparently if another store advertises the space capsules for a cheaper price, Wal-Mart will match their price.
ReplyDeleteWooo! Space capsules for everyone!
Thanks for another Friday 55.
Mine's here. :)
What a great bargain! Thanks for being such a great host every week.
ReplyDeleteMine is HERE.
Totally exhausted ... my words are all a mumble and will give it a try tomorrow. Summer + Kids = Exhaustion. :)
ReplyDeleteNice one. I understand you can even buy a politician now.
ReplyDeleteYou'll find mine here.
Here are some status updates from one of our favorite space creatures.
ReplyDelete"Shazbot!" is what Mork would say about this 55. I didn't know whether to laugh or feel depressed, but that is my usual reaction to news about China of late. :) Thanks, G.
ReplyDeleteMandela
Three men crammed into that thing for fifteen days! They must have been Walmart employees!
ReplyDeleteThe Old Ball Coach
I still won't go to a Wal-Mart to buy one. That was the one they had trouble docking because the Chinese made seals were poorly made wasn't it?
ReplyDeleteOh shit yes I did play again this week..it's stashed under my own space piece...odd how my poetry matched your 55 and your 55 sort of matched my 55 with those dudes being so close and all in that tin bucket ANYWAY HERE YA GO
Ha ha... that's a good one G-Man. I thought it is better not to be a stranger here.. So here is my 55 Hope you will like it :)
ReplyDeleteSomeone is Special

Whew - they look like a jumbled load of white laundry, ready to come out of the dryer G!
ReplyDeleteVery amusing thank you! Have a grand weekend!

I'd prefer my space capsule to be a little more luxurious, but one sure can't beat that price!
ReplyDeleteHere's mine: Swag
Ha - I'll take one! :o)
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime I have a 55
The Secret Life of Socks
You are just out of this world, pointing out bargains for us. You really can get everything at W-Mart.
ReplyDeleteFlash 55 - gag*
Love the image of the guys just sort of sitting there, staring at each other. Spaced out does come to mind. Sorry not to play this week, G--but this whole 'old' thing I'm going through is keeping my brain down. (I even had to post an old poem for Shay's prompt--hopefully I will not get 55 lashes, from her, or from you!) Will try to read a few 55's, just to keep my hand in.
ReplyDeleteBut can you get SOCKS LIKE THESE at Wal Mart
ReplyDelete.. havin' a flashback ~~
ReplyDelete'You want the world of tomorrow, Alice? I'll give ya the world of tomorrow! You're going to the moon!'

ReplyDeleteWAY late to the party, but I will help clean up :) Woke up early to contribute but am OFF for the day with the whole family (all my chicks together :). I will be back to visit and comment on all the 55's later this evening.
ReplyDeleteI think the following is something most parents can relate too - fathers and mothers.
Longing
