Jerry also hated gym class. It was the push-ups.WELCOME TO the happily-hosted-by-Grandma’s-Goulash Succinctly Yours, a perfectly wonderful meme that picks up where our ♥ dearly ♥ departed Microfiction Monday left off by asking the burning question:
How low can you go? THE GIST: Use the photo provided by GG as inspiration for a story of 140 characters or 140 words. (It doesn’t have to be exactly 140, just not more.) Oh?! *nods an impressed head* You want an even BIGGER challenge?! Then incorporate the word of the week into your flash tale. This Monday's assignment is "memories," which I chose to skip, since that smitch of the game is optional. <-–Whew! and thank God, because I DON'T need that kind o' preshah!
HERE’S
January 2nd’s picture
AND my story:
Enduring T-Rex arms was hard on Jerry, especially when LARGE flutes of his good friend, Krug Clos du Mesnil 1995, were in town. --127 characters

HM.
IT'D BE MY guess that, short arms of not,
a whole lot of
people's heads are like dinosaurs,
come New Year's Day morning.
ONE WORD:
Ouch!

Rest in peace, my Mollo and Zuzie.

Perhaps a small musical flute? Naaah, it wouldn't work well for New Year's Eve toasts, would it?
Happy New Year!
:)
I'm with the flute.
Poor Jerry. Perhaps he'll be understanding because Krug Clos du Mesnil 1995 was a good year.
..
Pooch: Poor Jere. His little armikins are probably too short for fluting as well. Something tells me he might not be able to reach the gizmo key. And I've heard tell, too, that positioning the instrument too close to the face, which would no doubt be the case with stubby-boughed Jerry, creates a whole other musical toot. It's a shame. I know, but orchestra batons just aren't up to directing that kind of stuff.
Let's say it again, this time, in unison: "Poor Jerry."
P.S. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year, Anthony! I'm with you. So, how 'bout we hit the flutes together? *pours two BIGs of the bubbly* Here's to 2012! *raises glass of champagne, but then is stopped short by a sudden guilt trip* Er.. perhaps we can pour Jerry a bowl of the bubble-ski?

To which SparkleFarkle replied, "Let's hope 2012 is, too. Happy New Year, Jim!
Always a surprise in the Sparkle Soup, this time a flute of some not-soup.
Happy New Year, and keep sparkling!

Kay: As Chicken Soup can be the cure, so, too, can a Champagne "broth"! Like my Aunt Myrtle, who loved a good midnight toast (or two, or three, OR etcetera!) to herald in the New Year --or any day on the calendar, for that matter! LOL!), used to say, "You gotta know your "medicine" and when to take it."
Happy New Year, Kay!
Even though his teeny tiny hands can grasp the small stem of the champagne glass, I realize that he couldn't get the champagne to his mouth. It'd just spill all over him and the table. My Jerry doesn't have that problem--his arm span is 76 inches! I did not know champagne glasses were called flutes...thanks for ejjikatin' me, Sparkle!
Hahaha...as usual,you cut right to the heart of the matter. I think his short arms should be doled out to college students at the start of every semester. LOL Love the "gym class" tag. You crack me up!
Happy New Year, Pat! YIKES! 76 inches, you say?! Are you sure "Jerry" is his real name??? (<--cLiCkY-cLiCkY!)
Aw poor Jerry!
Miss Lisa said, "I think his short arms should be doled out to college students at the start of every semester."
"That's a sensational idea!" laughed SparkleFarkle. "It'll probably mean for roomier backpacks, a lucrative opportunity Jansport's sure to snag."
Happy New Year!
SparkleFarkle~~~~~*
P.S. NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION: [If this catches on] buy Jansport stock NOW!
Akelamalu: "Aw poor Jerry!" is right, because he can't even DRINK his problem away. LOL!
May a Happy New Year be yours!
I think I would prefer Krug Clos du Mesnil!
I'm sending Jerry a package of straws. Where there's a will, there's a way! :D
Wishing you a very happy New Year, Sparkle. I always look forward to your posts. Here's to a year of many more.
