Redneck Mythology
Did you ever wonder why there were no mythological Gods of Redneck Folklore? Neither did I. Then I saw this wonderful picture(copyright Lura Helms)and I said to myself, “That explains it!” I’m sure a bunch of ya’ll are gonna leave comments thanking me… Continue Reading “Redneck Mythology”
Ozark Snotmouth
I ‘m known to have a strong stomach, but this week’s photo made me GAG! Now, I’m afraid to go to sleep for fear this disgusting image has burned itself into my brain cell (singular). When I was child nightmares of snakes often plagued… Continue Reading “Ozark Snotmouth”
Bucket of Ideas
People often ask me, “Where did you get a crazy idea like that?” I usually reply with some cock & bull explanation that I merely observe the world around me and the stories write themselves. Today, (against my own better judgment) I have decided… Continue Reading “Bucket of Ideas”
I Heard it Through the Grapevine
When I download the photo for Friday Flash Fiction, I usually go with the first thing that pops in my head. The reason being, my brain is so small it can only contain one thought at a time, and even then, if it’s a… Continue Reading “I Heard it Through the Grapevine”
A Tale of Two Sissies
I can really relate to this week’s photo. I’ve been called an ‘old buzzard,’ and told that I have ‘buzzard breath’ upon occasion. Experts say we don’t have buzzards in NW Arkansas, technically they are vultures. I’m not going to worry too much about… Continue Reading “A Tale of Two Sissies”

The Perils of Penelope
What’s up with all the insects? Is it because it’s summer? Those are just two of the questions that occurred to me upon seeing this week’s photo prompt from Madison Woods http://madisonwoods.wordpress.com/ I realize bugs have their place in the grand scheme of things,… Continue Reading “The Perils of Penelope”
Myth Confirmation
When I saw this week’s photo prompt from Madison Woods http://madisonwoods.wordpress.com/ my mind started racing like a heavily sedated sloth on an exercise wheel. Could that be the road less traveled? Nope, the grass is worn down. Is it the path of least resistance?… Continue Reading “Myth Confirmation”
Where the Rubber Meets the Road
I can really relate to this week’s photo prompt from Madison Woods http://madisonwoods.wordpress.com/ As I’ve gotten older, I’ve also become wider. (That’s right WIDER, not wiser) Some have even accused me of being full of hot air. The joke around my house is that… Continue Reading “Where the Rubber Meets the Road”
