Beside myself, this hack saw the arcade; skeeballing hours roll, earning red cross lifeguard wife beater. Ahhh, oceanside—Na+, spawn,crustaceans crawling… High-strung tentacle.
Hear sonorous billows drift. Bobbing weight lunatic. Mistaken tampon for sea life. There! Culture germinates flotsam in shallow glass bottom petri. Seething, concentrated backwash—sorry, couldn’t help thinking of Snooki.

Yikes! That is why I prefer Ocean Isle to Myrtle. My favorite line: “Culture germinates flotsam in shallow glass bottom petri” . Very nicely crafted and gets to the heart of your prose. I, for one, do not “get” the attraction of Jersey Shore. Oh well.
Did you drop some acid at Huntington Beach?
What a shot-gun blast of images!!
You Rocked this one Dustus…
Great 55
Thanks for playing, thanks for your support, and have a Kick Ass Week-End!!
Snooki is absolutely terrifying. I’m afraid I’d take a hatchet to her in 15 seconds and need to be balied out.
Where I live, we call creatures like her “hemlock”. Rip it out, into the trash, the world is a better place. I prefer real women who haven’t hacked themselves to pieces – and are still miserable, I mght add.
Maybe you should do Friday Flash 35. It seems 55 is hardly a challenge for you. That was really a joy to read. It isn’t every day a blog post greets me with the image of a smiling tampon.
The words almost falling over each other to get out first build a tempo thats intriguing and at the same time disturbing and reminds of something..Nice one Adam.
adam, I must take you to task–while your 55 was exquisite and spot on, I know I’ve lost brain cells clicking on that link and reading Snooki’s lit crit, not to mention being forced to picture her and the Exaggeration in a hot tub! C’mon guy–I’m old–I only have so many left.
I offer an abject apology, J.A. *busts out laughing*
In all fairness though, we cannot blame Snooki entirely. After all, there is a major publisher, agent, and ghostwriter involved here—you know, those who obviously feel it incumbent upon themselves to preserve the absolute best of literary culture.

You and G-Man musta been channeling each other- that’s spooky! 🙂
April 7, 2011 at 7:21 pm
Not sure where G’s muse came from this week. As for me, let’s all stare at Simon & Schuster for a second and… well, try to fugetaboutit

A most interesting shoreline created with these lines…not sure I want to go to this beach….a fine array of images.
April 7, 2011 at 7:22 pm
I’m thinking it’s very nice in SoCa at the mo 🙂
April 7, 2011 at 7:18 pm
you’re scaring me. You and G-man.
April 7, 2011 at 7:29 pm
I’ve seen a photo of snooki, but never actually have seen the show.
Be nice if poeple would take care of their garbage. All beaches are littered.

An in-toxicating 55 to be sure. But as always…a good write!

April 7, 2011 at 9:15 pm
