A selection of Various Birds
Independent
Since everyone began calling the Republicans “red” and the Democrats “blue”, Howard had been pestered to run on the Republican ticket for everything from school commissioner to senator; he wasn’t Republican, Democrat, or even a good Independent. He just wanted to be left alone and not have the local talking heads ask him how his election plans were coming.
Overreacting
Giselle thought they were overreacting; she loved the little fluffy feathers on the back of her head, but she didn’t think of them as “breeding plumage”. She was still looking for a boyfriend, hadn’t yet had a kiss, and the girls she knew were calling this “breeding plumage?” What ever happened to not kissing on the first date?
Hawkish
The Donald had made quite a transition–from moderately conservative Democrat to what was now considered a definitely right wing conservative, even quite hawkish . . .
Floxinoxinihilipilification
After a rambling monologue about his love for his girlfriend, Chris was told, “That’s Floxinoxinihilipilification,” and couldn’t decide if she was just trying to impress him with her language skills or if he’d been called by the name of one of the dwarfs in the Hobbit movies . .
Cold Feet
Glen and his buddy Thom had talked of staying the winter in Idaho, thinking there would be little competition for food, but as the snow began, Glen got cold feet . . .
WWDDD?
Loren was doing his best to entertain the group that had come to his Political Action Committee fund drive for his favorite politician and, the truth be told, he was a pretty fair stand up comedian. He just wished he would never again hear “That guy quacks me up!” Thinking about his famous relative, he just kept asking himself “What would Daffy Duck do?”
