Friends, have you ever wondered about the word “bubbles”? It is a perfectly good and pliant word, don’t-cha think?
1.
I installed a cheap under-ground watering system that sprung a leak one day and caused a huge water bubble to form under the turf. It looked like a green puss-filled pimple had grown on the front lawn; the neighbors laughed and offered cruel advice.
2.
A rabid dog charged at me from across the street, disease bubbled and foamed from its menacing jaws; just like that episode of Lassie I saw when I was a kid. A guy in a pickup truck ran it down and shot it with a pistol. Sometimes you have to do those things I guess.
3.
I watched a speed metal band played acid-punk, or something loud and obnoxious while a bubble machine launched soapy globes from behind an amp. For some reason they think they are cool. Bubble machines didn’t even make Lawrence Welck look cool.
4.
Enthusiastic teachers in front of angst riddled teens offer bubbly encouragement. I think it is somewhat forced; how else can they teach? Did you have teachers like that? Weren’t they a bit strange?
5.
I met a dancer in a small dark club off the highway, somewhere near Fort Worth Texas. She was young and stoned and said her name was Bubbles; of course. I had no reason to believe her, so I stayed and put 25 dollars in her thong.
6.
A jiffy lube mechanic told a nice old lady that a bubbling agent is added to her transmission fluid to let him know when it needs to be changed ($85.00); that’s a load of crap and I told him so. That was Fletcher Auto and I avoid that place like lice.
7.
My stomach turns and churns with indigestion and gas, lumpy bubbles strain from inside, struggling for release. I hope this is not the high point of the day for me.
