Bio
Jeff Howe is a bonsai enthusiast and harmonica player who has very good reason to believe that the Universe tastes like a cheap buck-fifty melon. He is a product of Walled Lake and a former Poetry Slam Champion of Milwaukee. He once shook hands with Rocky Colavito, opened for Leon Redbone and took a piss next to Mose Allison (no hands were shaken). All things considered, his best single day was July 4th, 1987 when he marched in the Marmarth, North Dakota parade in the morning, discovered a rare dinosaur skull in the afternoon, and then sat in playing harmonica with a drunken cowboy band until way past tomorrow. It's been downhill ever since. Jeff is a misemployed geologist who specializes in interpreting rock outcrops at 70 miles per hour. It's a gift. His daughter loves cows. ...................................................................................................................

101 Words In No Particular Order

Rate: 17 Flag

Whether it was reefer madness, the common cold, or some otherwise undisclosed social disease is still a matter of conjecture.  However, any and all doubts as to whether it was serious were laid to rest (along with two chickens, seven house pets, Homer Jensen and an old horse) when Ned Breitthaupt, entrepreneur and worm farmer to the stars, fired up his candy apple red ’65 Ford Mustang and, gunning it over the horizon towards Topeka, flipped the old town the bird as he drove off with cigarette dangling and his arm around the pride of Elmwood Springs: the effervescent Nadine Bint.

That's Topeka, Kansas, right? Great Stuff!
scanner: How exactly do you manage to be first every time? You either have a hair-trigger mouse clicker finger, or way too much time on your hands. Topeka, Kansas for sure... home of Chief Burnett's Mound.
hot damn. 101 fabulous, bird-flipping words.
Whoo Hooo! Good for him! Great post. Much love to you
Fun stuff!!! Loved it..
this is great!
"worm farmer to the stars" funny stuff.
I see a great saga here... an epic unrestrained by a single Ford Mustang. I have added "to be continued". Don't count it against my word count.
We may not know much about Nadine, but we sure know she was good at one thing to make the Worm Farmer chuck it all for the bright lights and the big city of Topeka.

Oh Nadine. . .
Such energy unleashed in so few words!
Oh, well played._r
You have me sitting on edge. Curious.
I sit on the edge of my outhouse pot chair.
There is no frilly condom dispenser machine.
I hear hissy sounds coming from the pot hole.
If Guest come to town I hope they bring `Charm.
'Charm' brand soft, smelly-perfume toilet`Paper.
I thought Ya was gonna teach French 101`Kisses.
Common cold? Common Madness? Moses`101!
Wow!
Moses M. wrote? A World needs Good Madness.
Good 101 Madness.
The world needs it.
I look forward. cont.
It really does need to be continued. R
That damn Nadine Bint gets around! What a flippin' slut! -r-
Oh Ned, you're headed to a place where they've paved over so much of that great black soil that helped grow your fortune and get you your Aphrodite. No good can come of this.
Jeff,
I want to read the prequel too about how Homer became a worm farmer to the stars. :)

Thanks for all the comments. I went off to do a field trip this morning and when I returned I found all of this activity awaiting me. Let me point out a few things: Homer is dead, he passed away in whatever overwhelmed Elmwood Springs and sent Ned and Nadine out on the road. Ned is the worm farmer with the Mustang. Nadine is a babe. The real questions that need to be resolved are: 1. what happened in Elmwood Springs, 2. exactly how did Ned make his fortune, and 3. where are Ned and Nadine headed and what awaits them? I don't know the answer to these questions, but they will be answered in a series of 101 word paragraphs.... an entire story of 101 paragraphs... or until I tire of writing them.
i wanna be known as effervescent nadine
You write pictures with words. Always.
