Succinctly Yours
ENRTY:
NO KIDDING, my friends, one time when I was waiting for a girlfriend to reappear after a powder room pit stop in a supper club bar, an over-cologned (wooden-boxed English Leather, to be sure), fast talking, polyester plaids and stripes sort of guy, whose pocket change never stopped jingling all the while, approached me with this:
"Well, hello there, gorgeous, do you know the weight of a polar bear? Me neither, but it breaks the ice!"
ALL I CAN say is, thank God it happened during that Eastertide I gave up drinking for Lent. Otherwise today you might be calling me SparkleBahDahBingBahDahBoom instead of SparkleFarkle.

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 "bluster," 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!

AND my story:
“Do you believe in love at first sight or should I trot past you again?”offered smoothie Giacomo Girolamo Casanova de Seingalt, Italian stallion and pick-up artist straordinario. --28 words
EIGHT more Farkled WORDS:
Taylor Swift and Casanova. (Better be good to her, Giacomo,or you're surely destined to be fodder for song-thought!)
It's a love story, Baby, just say yes! (?)
Lotti di ♥amore♥,
SparkleFarkle~~~~~*
Rest in peace, my Mollo and Zuzuie.

Sparkle Ma'am,
You have that special flair for the unusual, a unique talent not found in other blogs. You lead us through a wonderful round of discovery and had us enjoying every moment of it. Great verse, now and before,all of them!

His pickup line might work better if he has his teeth whitened. That would dazzle any gullible girl.
Sounds like a great pick-up line but pick-up lines don't really work anyway. I had a wooden box of English Leather back in High School. Too bad I didn't know e-bay would come along.
Hi S.F. ~~ Your ice breaker was neat. I will try it at my next party.
Today I won the lunch jackpot with my line about having had a 'heart throb' in Mexia, Texas, named Smith. My prize was thrown to me when I told group her name was Anna Nichole Smith.
Then, you are an Italian writer 'straordinario' with your Giacomo Girolamo Casanova de Seingalt, Italian stallion µ-fiction story.
..
As always, different end enjoyable.
that should be 'and' enjoyable :-)
With a pickup line like that, he should get all the mares LOL
Always love to see what you come up with, Sparkle, and you never disappoint!

Haha!! I've always wondered what kind of knucklehead thinks those lines actually work. Funny MF, as always. Thanks for cracking me up!
I love those pickup lines. Far better than "what's your sign?" Or isn't that used anymore?
Methinks one trot was more than enough, bad boy! Basta!!
