Motivational Speaker-to-Customers

[speaker_to_customers]

Here is a special little drabble (hopefully not 'special' in the sense of riding the short bus to school) for enigmaticblues, who is having trouble motivating herself to write her Theology paper. 100 words, of course.




Lorne’s mother scowled. “So, Krevlorneswath, the cow will not write? And if she does not write, the priests will punish her for her faults?”

“That’s about it, Mom,” Lorne replied. “That would be a shame, this kid Jerusha’s a lovely girl, sings like an angel. Well, not like Angel, so we don’t have to fear having Manilow inflicted upon us, but you know what I mean.”

“I know not what you mean, Krevlorneswath, but it matters not. We shall have her flogged.”

“No, no flogging!” Lorne protested. “Just a little motivational therapy.”

“Very well. Numfar, do the Dance of Motivation.”

ROTFLMHO! Oh, that's beautiful. I made it into a drabble. Woo hoo! I wanna see Numfar's Dance of Motivation. :-)

Thanks so much. I'm motivated now. ;-)

Sorry, but (like you) I lack the photo-manipulative skills, so no Dance of Motivation; you'll just have to imagine it. It will involve lots of leg-kicking and head-slapping, I'm sure; I'm just not sure whether the head in question would be Numfar's or yours.

[jerusha]

LOL...let's just say that it's Numfar's head that will be slapped, since the paper is finished. :)

Well done! Numfar, do the Dance of Congratulation.

[jerusha]

LOL! Only three more papers to go before the end of the semester. :)

Well, you've never heard from me. But I'm Jerusha's best friend, so I've heard a lot about you. Anyway, just wanted to chime in and say that was hilarious!! Really, it made my day, so I can definitely see how it motivated Jerusha. :-)

Thank you!

As one of Jerusha's betas, I heartily agree that helping her through her motivational slump is a good deed. But then you know what they say about good deeds.

I think I need to learn the Dance of Motivation. It could come in handy.

I was going to learn the Dance of Apathy, but I couldn't be bothered.

Oh. My. God. That was awesome!

Gotta say, you've really got a talent for the short, ultra-clever material. Some of your assorted drabbles have got to be some of the best things I've read. Pure wit in such few words! (Not an easy thing to do!) Yay!

Thank you! As they say, brevity is the soul of wit. My wit obviously hasn't had a Moment of Pure Happiness lately. Or maybe it won its soul when I was in Africa and is immune to the Happiness clause.
