I’m gonna start calling you ‘Riddles’ for shortish from now on! <br /><br />And so to your <i>‘Flight of ideas’</i> suggestion …well, let’s just call it a ‘teaser?’ then, in all good, innocent fun. I dutifully (read: gullibly) picked up that cabbage you lobbed down at me there, and thus Googled it. This is some of what Wikipedia batted back to me:<br /><br />‘Flight of ideas’ - “Language may be <i>difficult to understand</i> if it <i>switches quickly from one unrelated idea</i> to other <i>(flight of ideas)</i> or if it is <i>long-winded</i> and <i>very delayed at reaching its goal</i> (circumstantiality) or if <i>words are inappropriately strung together</i> resulting in <i>gibberish</i> or…<i>word salad.</i>”<br /><br />And as an example of ‘Flight of ideas’ in speech Wikipedia genuinely sights the following line as an example:- <i>"I own five cigars. I've been to Havana. She rose out of the water, in a bikini."</i><br /><br />Ooooh! <br /><br />So what you’re really saying is… I’m a paranoid schizophrenic heterosexual collector of fine Cuban cigars, who’s totally obsessed with lewd and lustful thoughts of Ursula Andress arising seductively out of the Caribbean Sea, to offer me ‘both’ of her large and juicy coconuts, in exchange for my big, tasty bowl of fresh cucumber & mango salad, while speaking in some sort of nonsensical Swiss tongue, of complete and utter gibberish? <br /><br />Yupp… sounds just like me John Boyo.<br /><br />Call me ‘Bond’ - ’Bish Bash Bond’.<br /><br />Phew! For a moment there Riddle John, I thought you knew something about me that I don’t. I’d hate to think I was losing the plot, and didn’t even know it!! (?)<br /><br />Thinks…..when you worked as a psychiatric nurse at that asylum all those years ago, did you ever bump into a patient who liked to be called ‘Dr No’ ?<br /><br />No? <br /><br />Just a crazy thought there for a moment. Nothing to worry yourself about. Me and Honey Ryder up there, had a bit of a run in with him a few decades ago. He really wasn’t playing with a full bucket of squids was he. Hmmm.<br /><br />Did joo know, that when you’ve finished extracting the pith out of yer coconuts, you can use the remaining hairy pair of half shells as a ‘cricket box’? Might come in handy to know that, next time you square up at silly mid off, whilst in the buff on the beach with your bat and your balls, after one too many white rum shandy’s?<br /><br />No wonder those Cuban cricketers walk all funny. Now, how on earth am I going to squeeze into her bikini here? …Bish Bosh Bashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01311092711040714994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5313552904462331813.post-17964425180373403932011-08-17T17:22:04.962+01:002011-08-17T17:22:04.962+01:00bish, bash or is it bosh?

You have a very special talent ‘E’, so the more readers who manage to find their way to your blog and thus appreciate your brilliantly creative illustration skills with mind and pen, the better as far as I’m concerned.<br /><br />Thanks too for your comments and remarks about my short story entry there. Tis much appreciated. I never expected for a minute that the spotlights would fall on this one in all truth. The fun was simply impulsively ‘having a go’ so to speak, and then see what happens next. I judged that the overall tenor and tone of my particular tale would be far too tame and ‘nice’ for their collective palates over at UTJT, but I chose to stick to my theme, with all its sweetlyness, partly because I was on safe ground, but largely because the idea for it was inspired by my own early childhood memories of me and my younger sister, when we lived in London during the early 1960’s.<br /><br />Perhaps next time I’ll start slashing around with a machete or some huge claws, in the very first paragraph. Get all their saliva glands working and dribbling from the off. I have just submitted an entry to their latest ‘Eleven Word Short Story’ competition. Now that was a really tough little critter to nail down, I can tell you. 11 words. Jeeeeze! Talk about stress! Brilliant idea behind it all though. Really makes you think hard about key word and sentence structuring for maximum impact and reader attention, in just a couple of inches of text. Love it.<br /><br />I’m very much looking forward to reading the works of all the worthy winners in the weeks to come. Having read some of their regular writers and contributors efforts already, they are very clearly, a clever and talented bunch of children’s story quillers, from whom I will glean much of future value.<br /><br />I really will try to get my bluddy Gin & Tonic post finished for Thursday, although having now re written from scratch, several times over the past few months, and promptly thrown every version in da bin, I’ve kinda lost the spark and spontaneity that originally inspired it all, so I’ll give it my one final last best shot, and if it bombs for me yet again, you’ll end up seeing just a couple of pics of empty G&T glasses, underlined by the word “Cheers!”<br /><br />Hmm, now that’s not a bad idea. Why didn’t I think of that earlier…Hmmmmmm…<br /><br />Thanks for your kind words of Andrew & Joanna. Just as per my comment to ‘Fly’ further up – Joanna also read your comment, before sticking her face right up to my PC screen and loudly saying “..and thank you very much back to you too Elizabeth in Seattle! Lots of hugs and kisses from me to you too!!!” <br /><br />And so then I lent her a tenner.Bish Bosh Bashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01311092711040714994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5313552904462331813.post-3402455194071269392011-08-16T18:38:12.693+01:002011-08-16T18:38:12.693+01:00Mark: Correcto Mondo - Once I'm sat down and s...Mark: Correcto Mondo - Once I'm sat down and start typing, I do tend to get a bit carried away with it all. Must be the tapping sounds from my keyboard, cos after a couple of hours of non stop key prodding, I normally have to resort to lowering my head down and in turn, gently removing each hand with my teeth.<br /><br />Perhaps I should Google 'automatic precis software' and see what comes up?!<br /><br />Re: "..why Timmy (or is it Fiona) only has one leg - perhaps the rats ate it." Well you get today's pogo-stick award for starters then. <br /><br />We'll have to call the 'left one' Timona and the 'right one' Fimmy, just to be careful. Actually, in all truth, I think the competition panel would have loved your notion of Timona there having its leg gnawed off by a pack of rats. It's a way more nasty and gory concept than my bit of 'pretty lit' up there. Today's kids would lap that idea up. Next time, I'll start by chucking some buckets of blood and body parts around from the very first paragraph.

And last night, Jo had a peek at your comment too and promptly stuck her face right up to the screen and said "Hi Flyyy...and thank you to you too, and all the nice parrots, piggies, cats and doggies in all of Costa Rica - Hugs and kisses from me, Jo!!!"<br /><br />Crates on its way. Its empty though. Well what did you expect? You could sit on it I suppose. Just don't kick it till you've got your walking boots on!<br /><br />"Dennis Mould... would eat anything that moved more slowly than he.." Laugh! Snails and slugs then? Yuck.<br /><br />Don't mention schoolday dentistry.

Regarding your story--I think it's dandy, and fits the photo quite appropriately. Lots of good dialog. Not sure why they didn't bite ;) --but good for you for taking a stab at it! Keep submitting, and I think they will grow fond of you. <br />Finally, congrats on the birthday's of your offspring. They are mighty handsome specimens! And finally, looking forward, with bated breath, to the G&T post.
