Have you ever, EVER…? Literally…or figuratively

Spilled the beans

Let the cat out of the bag…and did he/she shit in your shoe later?

Asked for or given a ballpark figure

Moved like a bat out of hell

Acted like a broken record

Opined that: That’s the way the cookie crumbles…and was the cookie in question homemade or store bought?

“gone”…”cold turkey”

Fallen through the cracks…and were those cracks later spackled?

Wanted “the whole nine yards”

Touched base …were you “it” at the time?

Gotten or given “more bang for your buck”

Gotten or given brownie points

One point per “yes” except number 2, which is worth minus 1

   

About Zaslow Crane

Zaslow Crane wrote his first Science fiction story when he was 11 This was after an uncle had given him a Charmin case full of sci fi paperbacks- all the old masters: A.E.Van Vogt, Cordwainer Smith, Heinlen, Bradbury, and dozens more. After that, he never looked back. Zaslow Crane has contributed to numerous magazines and newspapers over many years, and has been a contributing editor for a national magazine. He has been published a couple hundred times for non fiction. Regarding fiction, he writes primarily SciFi and was one of the creative talents behind Smoke and Mirrors, a parsec nominated podcast that "re-imagined" the Twilight Zone and, which ran for 2 1/2 years. He has written over two hundred short stories, 7 or 8 novellas and two novels, one of which "explains" a great many advancements in human technology. He likes mindless sort of work, because it frees that other part of his brain to work on story ideas, so if you see him, say, digging a ditch, you'll know that he’s really writing. He lives in a tiny house on a hill in Central California. His home overlooks the ocean - IF you're willing to stand on tip toes and crane your neck. Just a bit.
