Here's Looking At You, Wordzzle ...

It’s Wordzzle time again. As usual Raven is our lovely and talented host. You know how this works, we get ten words for the Big Wordzzle and five words for the Mini-Wordzzle. Then if we want to we can combine them all into a Mega Wordzzle.

Big Wordzzle words are Cardboard Box, Liquor Cabinet, Ostrich Feathers, Longitudinal, Hamburger Helper, Partnership, Laundry Detergent, Magnificent, San Francisco, Prognosis

Mini-Wordzzle words are Worst Case Scenario, Marginalia, Water Fountain, Specialized, Fortitude


Here we go with the big Wordzzle...


I knew it! I would recognize the sound of the longitudinal engine in a UPS truck anywhere. They delivered to me a magnificent cardboard box from The “Ostrich Feathers Partnership and Variety Store” in San Francisco. Inside was my order for Tofu and Turkey Hamburger Helper, Save the Earth All-Natural Spring Fresh Laundry Detergent and a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon for my liquor cabinet. The prognosis for this weekends party looks good.


Mini-Wordzzle...

The worst case scenario would be for me to drop my copy of “Specialized Fortitude: How to Stand Up to Internet Trolls” into the water fountain and smear all the marginalia.


And for the Mega I will continue my Vader in Vegas series.

Vader was up early as usual. He exited the bathroom and paused for a moment to look at Pandora as she lay there longitudinally across his bed with her head resting comfortably on his expensive ostrich feather pillow. He decided to just let her sleep, rather than wake her and send her on her way, even though he was ready for her leave. He normally specialized in one night stands, but he wasn’t sure what to do with Pandora.

As Vader walked towards the kitchen he stopped and opened the blinds. The first thing he noticed was that some kids had once again put laundry detergent in the big water fountains in front of the building. He laughed as he thought it took a certain amount of intestinal fortitude for them to keep doing this, what with all the cameras and security around.

Pandora suddenly appeared at the door. “Morning you magnificent man you!” She purred as she stood there naked and smiling at Vader. “Good morning to you too” Vader responded. “If you hungry there might be something in the fridge.”

Pandora walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge and found a container of some leftover Hamburger Helper which she tossed into the microwave and started to heat up. While she did this Vader grabbed some supplies from the liquor cabinet and make a “breakfast margarita” for himself. Pandora said she’d just have Pepsi.

Vader then opened up his laptop to check his email and saw that he had an email from Tiffany.

“My Uncle Ernie is in the hospital in San Francisco and the prognosis isn’t very good. I’m flying out today. I was wondering if you could fly up and meet me there? Maybe we could spend some time together.”

“Hmm ... Very strange. Seems as though something has gone wrong.” He said. “What’s that babe?” asked Pandora. “Oh nothing” Vader said quickly. “Just a little glitch in a business partnership I have with someone from out of town. If she’s not careful she’s gonna end up living in a cardboard box.”

Vader was deep in though when Pandora sat down at the table with him. When he looked up he saw her reading his marginalia that he had written on the pages of his copy of “Worst Case Scenario” and he suddenly realized she was still naked.

“I’ll have to spray that chair down with some Lysol after she leaves” he thought to himself.

Then The Dark Lord suddenly had an idea.

“Have you ever been to San Francisco?”
