I know Leeroy, I know – you hate me now, and maybe you’ve even forgotten who in the hell I am, as it’s been so long since I played along. Look, things have been a little weird lately, OK?
And speaking of weird, when someone as delightful and awesome as Jen picks something as delightfully weird as The Flaming Lips for the prompt, how can I NOT throw in my dime this time?
So, here’s my head-full-of-fluff-and-other-things take on this week’s 100 Word Song...
Like Godzilla triumphant, with each blow either he became weaker, or she became stronger.
None too sure which was truer, it was a fact that his barbed-wire lips had dulled to the point where the words that escaped them now simply tugged on her soul, versus ripping it to pained shreds.
Odd how it occurred… the realization that the one who wrote the script, set the scene and assigned the marks, could no longer control all the actors upon the stage.
Like Yoshimi victorious, she rose to the challenge, and in the final scene, found that she’d held the day.

This is dedicated to my dear sister Renee. Another Yoshimi, who likewise is poised to in short order, arise victorious.
as long as i'm singing 
Love it. and Leeroy’s fine with you.
A new song’s up now. It’s Elmore Leonard tribute week.
Cool idea! I’ll jump straight over – and I’m glad Leeroy is down with me still =)
Today is a new day, the sun is shining and I’ve stopped crying, for now. Thank you my sweet brother. I see victory on the horizon, for both of us.
For both of us =)

This is a fine tribute my friend…

Much thanks, my friend.
I eventually reversed the sexes of the two characters at the tail end for tribute’s sake, and feel it has a touch more “punch” as a result – would you agree?
Yes absolutely my friend…
I still have not backtracked your Space
but I certainly will be soon Troy, your style
shines with every word .
Have a great evening :)
Andro
No worries – it’ll all be there when you get to it. And I need to return you the favor as well =)
“barbed-wire lips had dulled to the point where the words that escaped them now simply tugged on her soul, versus ripping it to pained shreds.” Love this part in particular!
I gotta tell you, I do get a little hand-clappy, jumpy-in-my-seat “yay meish” when I find myself plunking down lines like that =)
Isn’t it the best when you manage to write something and think, “damn, did I just write that?”
The very best. Better than sex.
OK, that’s a little overreaching, but you get the point.
Haha! Yeah, I’m not sure if I’ve written a line of that caliber yet!
It’d be a damn shame if you do =)
