Carmine is about to dispel the age-old belief thatit takes crocheted balls to be a Hacky Sack-player great.
STAY TUNED.
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:
Just that quick, an attempt was made to stymie the tournament. 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 "drift," 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 9th’s picture
AND my story:
The “all hell” that broke loose when the footbag went missing during bumbled-headed Hacky Sack Equipment Manager but, most times, less-than-chef Carmine’s watch, would not have gone up in smoke if that 25-watter hadn’t miraculously appeared over his head. “Thank God it’s Spaghetti and Meatballs Night!” he cried, light lobbing a little “something” taken steaming hot-directly from the Sicilian restaurant’s menu. --65 words

Yuk! Meatballs being kicked around. Guess the chefs could do that, I couldn't. Could you?
Your crocheted balls are real pretty. We have one made of leather.
..
Incidently, I spelled hacky sack without an 'e'.
..
I don't want to eat at this restaurant.
I just knew you'd be the first one in the Comment Box, Jim! Although Anthony made it a point to head up this week's SY MckLinky list, I think he then rolled over and went back to sleep. Shhhh! Mayhaps we should keep it down? LOL! Just funning with you, Anthony! (Anthony doesn't carry a gun or anything, does he?!)
Jim: Yuk! Meatballs being kicked around. Guess the chefs could do that, I couldn't. Could you?
SparkleFarkle: Yes, I could --but only if they were from a batch I made. They'd be positively rock-hard inedible! Yes, ideed, when it comes to cooking, I'm a Lisa Douglas.
Jim: Your crocheted balls are real pretty. We have one made of leather.
SparkleFarkle: Um, I-I don't have any balls. You say yours is leather, though, eh? Just the one? Hm. I think that makes you a parttime rugby player.
Jim: Incidently, I spelled hacky sack without an 'e'.
SparkleFarkle: Two points for you, Jimmy, even though the Hacky Sack god, Wham-O, would have to "disergree on that thar spellin'." (<--Those last few words are me channelling Elly Mae Clampett, in whose kitchen-footsteps I also follow. LOL!)
Sonia Lal: LOL! "Chef" Carmine's kicky meatball is a good reason to consider going the vegan route.
Yep, definitely vegetarian for me there :-)
Oh by flying meatballs! LOL
Hi, Anthony!
Yesiree, if the restaurant patrons get wind of "Chef" Carmine's Hacky Sacky antics, I'm afeared it's going to be a big night for portobello salads!
Good evening, Miss Helen!
I guess if flying meatballs are now on the menu (<--Or in this case would they be considered off the menu? LOL!), the cheffy equipment manager better come up with some catcher's mitts as a side!
Wow, I just took a closer look at that meatball. It's hard to imagine it was ever appetizing. LOL!
That sounds like a messy but delicious hacky sack/footbag game! Nothing like meatball footbags!
The secret's definitely in the sauce, Pat. It's best to go with a Sicilian recipe, as it's much lighter in the "tomato gravy" department. Less wear and tear on your Nikes, you know what I mean? (LOL!)
When my kids were little they would have loved the idea of kicking around a few meatballs. Not sure I'd want to eat in a restaurant where the chef was doing it, though. LOL Never know what would end up on the plate!
I think I'll give that restaurant a miss! LOL
Lisa: *sighs longingly* Ah, those were the days, eh, when kicking around meatballs (at our house, not just limited to youngster) was a luxury we could all afford? Drat this darn economy! DOUBLE-drat, I say!
I'm with you, Akelamalu. Yep, the meatbally-ally-ally antics at this restaurant is making McDonald's appealing. LOL!
very challenging meme you got here, Clap clap, very creative
Our minds were on the same path this week, Sparkle. You have them kicking the meatballs and I chose cherry tomatoes. That means that even the vegetarians aren't safe. :D You keep me smiling.
Realistically, hackey sack equipment managers are not a dime a dozen.
Cute!
:)
