Too sarcastic for this world

the latest installment in this year's frivolous feb. is a writing prompt. unlike the random sentence or paragraph, it is an actual writing prompt (according to the site).

the one given to me was;

Perfect Smile
A situation that brings a smile to your face.

in my opinion this is less of a writing prompt than the random sentence or paragraph, and more like an essay topic.

one of the more random of the random generator things is a dinner idea one.

there's no recipe supplied, i guess you have to find your own. but they do have a picture so you can see if it is something that looks appealing.

the one it gave me was egg salad. i kid you not.
i think of egg salad as a lunch thing, but i guess if you really need dinner ideas it's worth a try.

also, someone did a fill for my prompt; Ghostbusters (1984), Any one of the 4 Ghostbusters, Getting offers to do commercials.

today's random thing is a paragraph. and like the random sentence could be used as a writing prompt, if someone was inspired to use it as such.

Twenty seconds were all that was left and Richard could hear each one tick by. Fifteen seconds now remained and the panic began to fully set in. Ten seconds and he wasn't sure he had enough time. Five seconds, four, three, two, one...

also a 3-sentence fic-a-thon prompt of mine was filled. this is the second fill for; The Golden Girls, Sophia, Her secret recipe.

the link to the DW announcement is here. there are 128 vids in 85 fandoms.

only a few i liked this year. the warnings and such are on each video post.

weapon of choice --clue (1985) [this is here mostly for the song]
breakaway --north of north
better with you --the birdcage
ordinary day --the pitt
here --labryrinth [another one for the song]

there's now a third post for prompts up at the 3-sentence fic community. the second is closed to new prompts, but still open for fills.
i'm only half-way through the second one & will not bother looking at the third. frivolous febuary is coming up soon and i actually have a decent idea this time.

and a prompt of mine was filled; The Golden Girls, Sophia, Her secret recipe.

some time ago (like 7 years) me & my brother got an olive garden gift card from someone. we had wanted to use it for these breadstick (bigger than normal breadsticks) sandwiches they had, but we ended up missing the boat on those & they never brought them back.

we went in for lunch on tuesday. it was busy, but we didn't have to wait for a table. the silverware comes wrapped up in a huge cloth napkin& i'm not sure if it's meant to be used, or just keep the knife & forks (2 of the same size for some reason) together. they have coke products so we both got cokes & ordered Lasagna Fritta for an appetizer because my brother really wanted it. he got the lunch-size eggplant parmesan (substituting angle hair for the spaghetti) & i got the soup, salad, breadsticks lunch.
he was not impressed with his food, the eggplant slice was small & they must put oil in the water when they make the angel hair, because the sauce would not stick to it. he said the frozen eggplant parmesan from michael angelo's is better.
my stuff was just OK. i had a bowl of the Chicken & Gnocchi and Pasta e Fagioli (both piping hot!) the gnocchi was little balls, not the pillows with ridges i'm used to. neither of us liked the Lasagna Fritta, it was hard to cut. however, the coke was some of the best fountain dispensed coke i've had in a long time.
but now that we've gone, we don't need to go again.

this was our first time at olive garden & can now weigh in on the red lobster cheddar bay biscuits vs. olive garden breadsticks.
my brother gives the win to the biscuts. the breadsticks had garlic salt on them and he doesn't like garlic. even less when it's garlic powder or salt. and he thought they had too much butter spread/margarine on them, which gave them an odd sheen. he said it was a good thing that we never got the breadstick sandwiches considering the way the breadstick were.
i barely give the win to the biscuits, because they have cheese. both are kind of dry, but if the breadsticks didn't have the garlic salt, i'd give them the begrudging win.

and we have an opinion on the cheesecake factory rolls (despite never have been there) because we got them from wal-mart once. we are both of the opinion that it is a dressed up wheat bread & nothing special.

if you haven't participated in a few years, it has it's own community now threesentenceficathon
