Larry Hnetka Goes HMmmm

Peety posted a list of new words for 2007.

Always one wanting to be in on the latest, here’s my attempt at writing a short scene using some of the words from Peety’s list.

I arrived at work early for the obligatory Monday morning blamestorming meeting. Vancouver’s weather forecast called for continuing heavy rain. How I wished I had taken the time for a monkey bath this morning.

I had just sat at my desk when I heard the office manager bark loudly to announce the meeting was to begin in five minutes. The staff prairie dogged without a word, then walked single file from the cubefarm to the conference room.

Isn’t it strange how everyone takes the same chair at every meeting? Trevor didn’t wait for the seagull manager to arrive. He started testiculating loudly between gulps of a non-fat, triple-decaf vendi Starbuck’s latte while performing percussive maintenance on his Blackberry.

Candi, the aeroplane blonde with a picasso bum, sat next to me examining her red, chipped fingernails with a bored 404 expression. Lloyd, sitting on the other side of her, was fixated on her greyhound and millenium domes and dreamed of the day she would allow him an Aussie kiss.

I sighed and thought to myself, “another salmon day at the office has begun.”

Definitions are here at Peety’s fractured dictionary list.
