Thank
you to Grandma’s Goulash for hosting Succinctly Yours! Each week, Grandma
tosses a picture at us to play with so we can come up with a story of 140 words
or 140 characters. The bonus word this week was “isolate.”
If the
Olympic committee had to isolate a reason for turning down the new sport, it
was because they didn’t like the name, “Basketboy.” 112
Fred’s
dream was to isolate himself in the juggling world as someone who was truly
innovative. Problem is, child-juggling gets harder as they grow up. 126
Good Lord—I’ve heard about
this—cat juggling! Stop! Stop! Stop it! ~Navin R. Johnson, The Jerk
Tammy--Both of them--perfect for the photo!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sioux!
DeleteBoth of them made me laugh out loud. Tammy, how do you come up with these gems?

Thanks so much, Pat!
DeleteOkay, I'm really behind with reading blogs... so I have read all that I think I have missed and your meme's are wonderful as always. The toe one really cracked me up. And your scar is healing beautifully. Good advice to LISTEN to your body and see more docs if needed. Love your quotes too! Well, I love everything about you.
ReplyDeleteAww...you too, Lynn, thanks!
DeleteHeh, heh! Basketboy! Now I am picturing the hoop just out of frame.
ReplyDeleteOh, good. I was afraid it was so weird, no one would get it....
DeleteLove them both, Tammy, but the second one is priceless! I am always amazed at what you come up with for these.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Theresa!
DeleteBoth of these are spot on with the pic. I remember my husband tossing our kids up that way---man, it made me nervous when they were smaller. They sure loved being slung around, though.
ReplyDeleteThey do, don't they? Especially in a pool!
DeleteSo cute! I like them both. I have pictures of my cousins throwing my daughter across the pool. It looks scary in the pictures but not when you are doing tossing I guess.
ReplyDeleteBet that picture is priceless. Great to "see" you again, Kathy!
DeleteYou hit it right on again, Tammy. I liked the title. You do know, that if you drop the cat while juggling it will land on its feet? I remember when I found out and then had soooo much fun teaching that to the other kids who didn't know yet. I am trying to envision what “Basketboy's” basket would look like.
ReplyDeleteBTW, more trivia, did you know that there is a sport called "Dwarf Tossing?"

That is not a link, paste the whole thing into your computer's URL window.

Jim, I had no idea! This reminded me of my favorite line in one of the Lord of the Rings movies (which I always saw because I had a son who was a fan), where Gimli (the dwarf) says, "Toss me...but don't tell the elf!"
