Wordplay Thursday #18

cropped-music_row_signs322.jpg

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.

“She’s hotter than  _______.”

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

“She’s hotter than a habanero on fire.”

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 Samary, Steve, Nila Kay, Roger Vines, Scott Wesley, Cathy, Andrew Clayton, Wally Henderson, Justin Heath, and Matt Martoccio for their great additions to Wordplay Thursday #17 (read it here)!  Great job!
