Smoke Sausage

I just want to know how they get the smoke to stay in the shape of a sausage.

Friday Flash 55: Priorities

Well, yesterday I found out that I write like Mario Puzo (the man behind the Godfather). So I decided to try my hand at mob fiction. All of the dialogue below comes straight from the Godfather movies. To join in the Flash 55 fun (and it is fun), visit Mr. Knowitall.

"The boss says he'll come in a separate car. He says for you to go on ahead," said Willi.

Tom dropped his fork, "That is out of the question."

Willi's eyes flickered like the Ristorante de Pucinella sign outside, "It's just business."

Tom passed Carol the keys and whispered, "Leave the gun. Take the cannoli."

I Write Like

Mario Puzo, apparently.

The site analyzes your writing based on word choice and style.

It's fun. As for accurate, I really don't know. Puzo wrote The Godfather, which I've neither seen nor read.

Maybe tomorrow's 55 will be mob-themed.

Perspective

I met a woman at the bank today. Her left leg was missing from the knee down, her left hand was immobile, and her head was permanently tilted at an angle that seemed like a recipe for constant neck pain. She was interested in everyone around her, learning their names and comparing accents.

Before she left, she told me a bit of her story. She was nearly 50 and had an automobile accident when she was 17 and she had some advice for me. I didn't hear a bit of self-pity in her words, just a desire that I would benefit from her experience.

She said, "You can clap with both hands, drive a car, and hug someone's neck with both arms. Don't take a bit of that for granted."
