"Run on for a long time, let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down." As usual, no idea what's going to pop into my skull when I see a SoCS prompt. Today, it was Run On by The Blind Boys of Alabama (the Moby remix, different group, from the Play album is also…

SNAFUs and Other Assorted Acronyms #SoCS
The first acronym I can recall is SNAFU (Situation Normal, All Fucked Up) which I read in some book or other -- great WWII correspondent Ernie Pyle maybe) -- when I was 10 or so. A few years later, the same acronym provided a crack (for me) in the bullshit consistently spouted by every generation…
An Afternoon’s Delight of Nostalgic Music #SoCS
Skyrockets in flight, Afternoon delight. Rubbing sticks and stones together makes the sparks ignite And the thought of rubbing you is getting so exciting Skyrockets in flight, afternoon delight [insert your own ‘pewww’ sound here] The Starlight Anthem Band Afternoon delight. You're humming it now, aren'tcha? That’s one of the earliest songs I can remember…
The Heart of Perfection – A Stream of Consciousness Saturday Double Team #SoCS
I almost made a tremendous mistake with my life. Fortunately, a long drive and some hard thinking and sudden revelation have instead led to a life-altering decision. I've been kinda thinking of it as my very own Road to Damascas moment. Today’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday is a combo of the February 4 and then…
Boxes and Blackboards and Cats, Stream of Consciousness Saturday #SoCS
Fingernails. Blackboard (or chalkboard, they were black in my grade and high school). That's how much I cringe when I see or hear the phrase "out-of-the-box thinking," tge first thing I thought of when I saw today's prompt. And so we begin the 2nd consecutive (yay, me) Stream of Consciousness Saturday from Linda G. Hill's…
Anyway, A Double Dose of Stream of Consciousness Saturday #SoCS
Anyway, here's a SoCS double-dose. I wrote one last week, and then couldn't get into my WordPress account. First up, the prompt for December 10; then scroll on down for today's prompt: Anyway. Struggled a bit with this prompt, as the first two things that popped into my head: A very inappropriate joke around a…
I Won’t Let Go of Disney – Stream of Consciousness Saturday #SoCS
Well, there’s my earworm for the day:Let it go, let it go something something I don’t actually know the words so those three words will be tumbling in my head for a good little bit. Huzza. Not. OTH, maybe it’ll replace Wig Wam’s “Do you wanna taste it, do you really wanna taste it” from…
Fore for Four, Stream of Consciousness Saturday #SoCS
Per usual when I saw the prompt for today's Stream of Consciousness Saturday, for/fore/four, multiple thoughts flitted across the synapsis. Two gelled for whatever reason: Free Four - a loose, jaunty pop song from Pink Floyd's Obscured by Clouds albumFore Score and seven years ago Wots ... Uh the Deal Love Pink Floyd. My freshman…
Ham, Green Eggs, and Stream of Consciousness Saturday
I do not like Green Eggs and Ham I do not like them Sam I am. Those lines from Dr. Seuss were the first things I thought of when I saw the prompt for today's Stream of Consciousness Saturday post from Linda Hill: Ham. I also started humming, “ham, wonderful ham ham ham ham.” As…
Defenestrated: Stream of Consciousness Saturday
Today’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt is to write using a word beginning with “de” and, for bonus points (and who doesn’t love bonus points), that also ends in “ed.” Disregarding for this post that because of all of the boner commercials on TV, when I see “ed” I immediately think “erectile dysfunction” (good job…
