Genre Shorties Week 38

100 words

You have to appear on Judge Judy, having been accused by your neighbor George Clooney of damaging his mailbox with your mode of transportation. You must defend yourself from this outrageous charge (even if you're guilty).

Your story may be serious or lighthearted or as silly as you like just so long as it is 100 words or less.                        USE AT LEAST TWO OF THE FOLLOWING:

 

   unicyle

   Cujo

   blimp

   snakes

   blancmange (Google it, baby!)

 

 

 

ALL GOOD WILL BE ATTACKED

 

© 2010 by David Wainland

 

 

Your Honor Judge Judy, this ego blimp, George Clooney, has chosen to sue me for damage to his mailbox. This is a vile attack upon my honor. He is libeling me. I merely brought him a freshly baked blancmange. I had heard he was ill. It was balanced on my lap while weaving my unicycle through a mass of garden snakes. Unfortunately I was distracted and totally terrified when for no reason he set Cujo, his three-legged Chihuahua, on me. The blancmange slipped to the ground and my bike skidded through and into the mailbox.

I plead not guilty!

Haaa!!! I think the scariest part of that was the three-legged Chihuahua. *shiver*
Vivian P. Nov 16, 2010, 4:28pm UTC
or the fact that there is a rock band named blancmange
David W. Nov 16, 2010, 4:31pm UTC
yup, there is a rock band by that name, but there is also a pudding. It was first used as a medicine.

Tracy, three-legged Chihuahuas are fierce.
Kathryn Flynn Nov 16, 2010, 5:04pm UTC
and 4 legged ones, too and probably any rock band with that name.
Kathryn Flynn Nov 16, 2010, 5:04pm UTC
they first used blancmange as a medicine? interesting.
Tracy Fabre Nov 16, 2010, 6:29pm UTC
Wouldn't you feel better if you were covered with pudding?

Hmm... maybe that's just me. Actually, it's not me either. Never mind.
Angela M. Nov 16, 2010, 3:46pm UTC
Hmmm....
David W. Nov 16, 2010, 6:22pm UTC
Ummmmm...
Tracy Fabre Nov 16, 2010, 6:29pm UTC
Errrmmm?
Angela A. Nov 16, 2010, 4:00pm UTC
I agree. You're not guilty!!

Tell it to the judge.
Angela A. Nov 17, 2010, 11:04am UTC
Will do!
Vivian P. Nov 16, 2010, 4:28pm UTC
ha ha
David W. Nov 16, 2010, 4:52pm UTC
;-)
Patricia J. Nov 16, 2010, 4:33pm UTC
The Chihuahua should be charged!
David W. Nov 16, 2010, 4:51pm UTC
And so he shall, just as soon as I can get him off my leg.
Ruthi C. Nov 18, 2010, 9:38pm UTC
Maybe Cujo thinks that's his missing leg..:-)
Bill's Spirit Nov 16, 2010, 4:38pm UTC
Sure sounds like extenuating circumstances.

Did you counter sue?

Great job with the prompts, David !!
David W. Nov 16, 2010, 4:50pm UTC
It's going to the supreme Court, the judges on American Idol.
A. F. Stewart Nov 16, 2010, 4:43pm UTC
It was definately the fault of Cujo.
David W. Nov 16, 2010, 4:51pm UTC
Are you prepared to state that in my defense?
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Nov 16, 2010, 4:49pm UTC
Cujo the three legged chihuahua? LOL!
David W. Nov 16, 2010, 4:52pm UTC
Tougher than your three pups. ;-)
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Nov 16, 2010, 4:58pm UTC
My three and Cujo? It would be a fair fight ;)
JOHN BECK Nov 16, 2010, 4:55pm UTC
Inattentive riding, causing property damage. Guilty. (Now our staff will interview you on camera to catch your reaction to the verdict, and hand you a handsome check for appearing on my show.)
David W. Nov 16, 2010, 4:57pm UTC
God bless America. The only country where being bad works out for the best. When do I get my own reality show?
Mary McKinney Nov 16, 2010, 5:02pm UTC
Hehehe, who can't help but love that!
David W. Nov 16, 2010, 6:23pm UTC
Thanks, I know I do. ;-)
Kathryn Flynn Nov 16, 2010, 5:04pm UTC
Featured in the Triple Name Club.
David W. Nov 16, 2010, 6:24pm UTC
Thank you Kathryn :-)
Bernard C. Nov 16, 2010, 6:19pm UTC
A blancmange is not to be trifled with - boom, boom - thanks for the story :-)

Thanks for submitting to
The Surreal Circus.
David W. Nov 16, 2010, 6:25pm UTC
A trifel and a blancmange in one sentance. You da man!
Bernard C. Nov 16, 2010, 6:29pm UTC
Oh no, am getting drowned in hundreds and thousands..am sure its a cover-up :-)
Brenda Youngerman Nov 16, 2010, 7:16pm UTC
I'm just sitting here wondering how on earth a three legged chihuahua and garden snakes could ever coexist in one location - - I mean really - can you picture it?
David W. Nov 17, 2010, 11:09pm UTC
It's a small world after all...
Liz H. Nov 16, 2010, 8:40pm UTC
Losing the blancmange is punishment enough--set that man free!!
David W. Nov 17, 2010, 11:11pm UTC
Thank you. I fear I shall never get over losing that precious pudding. That and that poor three-legged chihuahua, drowned in all that goop. I shiver at the memory.
Kasey Klein Nov 17, 2010, 5:11am UTC

J. Reid Nov 17, 2010, 11:02am UTC
Different!
Chris Brockman Nov 17, 2010, 8:53pm UTC
"Did the Chihuahua have papers," Judge Judy asks, "and if a bicycle is a bike, isn't a unicycle a yike?
David W. Nov 17, 2010, 11:13pm UTC
A Yike alright and best ridden by a eunic.
Mustafa Demiri Nov 18, 2010, 12:34am UTC
Some states would probably side with the plaintiff, given the fact that it was your intent to provide blancmange to an ailing person... I believe that Arizona has laws in place making the mere possession of blancmange a criminal felony. In California, however, blancmange is legal, but only under the provision that it be used for medical reasons, as was your intent... In light of this knowledge, I am forced to find in favour of the defendant... David, you are absolved any and all guilt in this matter.
Kay M Nov 18, 2010, 8:03pm UTC
LOL. Geesh! Just try and do a good deed.
Ruthi C. Nov 18, 2010, 9:43pm UTC
You used them all and did a great job! I think you should be found innocent; one good turn deserves another.
