In Which I Say and Hear All Kinds of Bizarre Things, You Use Those Things As Writing Prompts, and The Winner Takes Glory, Bragging Rights, and a Free Year Of The Starfire Codes on Substack....
Oh! I can’t resist this prompt - “Who blasts Wilson Phillips???” 🤩🤩🤩 Im going to have to buy some time to write something! Maybe a song? Music 🎶 I’ll surprise you!
My manager Richard Duryea helped build the Mamas and the Papas career, and he was the road manager for The Beach Boys when he was young. He maintains a close relationship with all the living members.I attended Carnie’s wedding with him back in I think 2000 or so. This is going to be fun!
Someone was blasting it outside my place and a few posts ensued from this but that's what it ended up boiling down to... who the hell blasts Wilson Phillips in 2024?? Hahaha!
I love this contest idea, Demi! I'm in the market for a new song. And I can see some good lyrical potential in here: "I'm fine. I'm just annoyed by repetition. I've learned this lesson. Someone kick the jukebox. It's skipping." ;)
Writing Contest Submission for Sentences I Never Thought I Would Say Or Hear: Volume Four. I used five of your prompts in a fan fiction short story. They are bolded. Hope you enjoy. [https://rayfoy.substack.com/p/losses]
Hi! Here’s my entry. It’s a romantic contemporary short story. 4K words. I merged 2 paragraphs from the prompt list into the story (somewhere in the middle-ish) The story contains strong language and sexual references.
Loved this one: “It might be alive, it might be breathing, if you poke it with a stick, I can't guarantee you can tell its mouths from its anuses....” It’s a concept I often ruminate upon. It’s not the one I’ll write about, but it’s totes groovy all the same.
Every time I see the “sentences I never thought I’d hear” threads, Lupe Fiasco’s “words I never said” automatically starts playing in my head and I have to listen to it at least once.

I was wobbled by the Wilson Phillips thing too. I’m surprised anyone still remembers them-but they were HUGE!

Why the Hell does anyone do anything anymore?
I don't think we'll ever know. LOL!

If you’re unfamiliar with it, I strongly recommend. It’s powerful: https://youtu.be/22l1sf5JZD0?si=VlRuXnnllzYNFEUe
Could have made this a novel but I had to stick to just writing 830 words. Please enjoy my submission: https://open.substack.com/pub/velvetroompublishing/p/a-clean-up-in-the-diner?r=1ha32l&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true
