Wordplay Thursday #50

cropped-music_row_signs322.jpg

Welcome to Wordplay Thursday!

Here’s a writing prompt for you.  It’s a simple fill-in-the-blank. You can use one word or several. Feel free to get as crazy, genre-appropriate, or as imaginative as you want. The point is to get the creative juices flowing. And it’s a good thing to dig deeper, so don’t stop at the first idea that hits you. Try coming up with at least five things.

“He misses her like _____ misses _____.”

I’ll give you an example to get you started:

“He misses her like John McCain misses Hanoi.”

I’d love to hear what you come up with, so please share in the comments. Oh, and please keep your posts below an R-rating. It’s a family show, after all!

SHOUT OUT!

Wow! We’re already at 50 Wordplay Thursdays! Guess I’ve been at this for almost a year, huh? Thanks for making it so much fun!

Thanks to Christopher Litz, Gigi Gostas, Robert Sans, Debbie, Janet Goodman, Dan Retzlaff, Nila, Jerry Childers, Willa Thompson, Amy, Jeff Green, John Brownlee, Mark, and Matt Martoccio for your great additions to Wordplay Thursday #49 (read it here)! Great job!

FREE GIFT

Hey, ya’ll! At the bottom of today’s post, I’m going to let you know about some free stuff I’m giving away to all of you great Man vs. Row subscribers. Now, on to today’s post…

“His nerves were as fried as ____________.”

I’ll give you an example to get you started:

“His nerves were as fried as catfish at a country buffet.”

I’d love to hear what you come up with, so please share in the comments. Oh, and please keep your posts below an R-rating. It’s a family show, after all!

SHOUT OUT!

Thanks to Debbie, Jeff Green, Michael Flanigan, Debbie Convoy, Barney Coulter, Ronnie Jones, Joseph Lekkas, Willa Thompson, Jerry Childers, Amy, and Matt Martoccio for your great additions to Wordplay Thursday #47 (read it here)! Great job!

FREE GIFT

As a way to say “thank you” to all of you who subscribe to Man vs. Row by email, I’m going to give away some cool stuff in July (2014). If you subscribe to MvR, I’ll send you a free report, “10 Things The Pro Knows.” I’ll also send you the guitar/vocal of “Crickets,” which is the title track of Joe Nichols’ current album. You’ll get to hear the song as Joe heard it when he decided to record it. You’ll also receive the lyric file of the song- and this lyric file includes “Baxter’s Boneyard” – all the lines that DIDN’T make it into the song (see if you agree with our choices). It’s something nobody else has seen, and I think it’s pretty cool. But, again, this gift is only for those who subscribe to Man vs. Row by E-MAIL. These gifts will be sent by email, so if I don’t have your email address, I can’t send it to you. God Bless!
