Come on Pervia…Let’s play!

Ms. Skwirl inspired me with her haiku game…and I thought it would be fun to play a different kind of game today.

In this game…we will be playing with idioms. An idiom is an expression…word…or phrase whose sense means something different from what the words literally imply. In other words…an idiom is a natural manner of speaking to a native speaker of a particular language. Please refer to the link below.

List of Idioms

1. Your first step is to choose what idioms you would like to use within your story or paragraph. There is no limit on the amount of idioms you choose to use.

2. Next…write a story or paragraph using the idioms you selected.

3. Your story or paragraph can be about any topic you like.

Here’s my story. I hope you like it.

Let me cut to the chase. Peeps have been dropping like flies lately. I’m not sure if it’s because they’re too fixed in their ways…too busy crying over spilt milk…continuing to wear their hearts on their sleeves…or they still have a chip on their shoulder.

Your guess is as good as mine Pervia.

Yanno what I say? Let’s get over it peeps…cuz it’s all water under the bridge. We could continue to complain until the cows come home…but I would rather kick up my heels and have some fun! I personally think this is a doozy of an idea...and I’m knocking on wood and hoping we’re on the same page.

I think if we just let ourselves go…we would have a ball. I don’t know about you…but this sounds like a piece of cake to me. If you don’t agree…I guess you can flip me the bird.

Btw…I wrote this blog in the buff.

Your turn…

Right out of the gate, I'd like to say, there is more than one way to skin a cat. Sure, it takes two to tango, but it only takes one to throw a monkey wrench in the works.
When you're up to your ass in alligators, and it's hard to see the forest for the trees. there's no time like right now to start over from scratch.

To make a long story short...I need this Job...but its a toss up right now!

Waiting to see new comments on this game blog is like waiting for the cows to come home. Seems like only one or two on this site likes Whapper's blogs, so to each his own.

Kudo for a creative and fun blog!

Well I'm a little groggy on it but I've always heard idleness is the devils workshop not idle hands are the devils tools & I tend to agree with it's meaning but not one hundred percent because it's been a couple of weeks since I've played hide the wiener & my idle hands would love to fondle some boobs about now which would be no trouble & just plain pure fun.
Your story or paragraph can be about any topic you like.
Peace out.

Great job peeps! You get an A for day!

I knew this type of game might be a shot in the dark...since word games aren't everyone's cup of tea. But I thought I would throw caution to the wind...by going the extra mile...to see who would be willing to give it a shot...by letting their hair down...and playing with me today.

The jury's still's out...

I have a Gut Feeling this is going to go over like a lead balloon but Idle Hands Are The Devil's Tools so Keep your chin up and I'll Let The Cat Out Of The Bag. You see, sometimes I'm kinda like a verbal Loose Cannon because you just never know what I'm going to say In The Heat Of The Moment, I Make No Bones About it! Now, The Ball Is In Your Court- so, Pick up your ears and To Make A Long Story Short... I'm a SEXAHOLIC........................ AIN'T IT KEWL???

Well, for Pete's sake and I don't know anyone named Pete. Our weather has been lovely but it is liable to rain. If it does, who gets sued dog gone it. I was horsing around with Manfred and we knocked an ashtray off of a coffee table which broke into a million pieces which scared the living daylights out of him.
