It is Stream of Consciousness Saturday time again, and here is Linda Hill to explain this week’s prompt. “Thank you, John. I have to say that long hair gives you the appearance of a mad scientist. It’s a good look. I would keep it. Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “zz.” Find a word with double-z in it and use it in your post. Enjoy!”
Yeah, thank you, Linda. If you would like to have fun too, just visit Linda’s blog and read how easy it is. Here is the link.

“You and a dictionary? What gives?”
“Our prompt this week is a word that has a double z. Linda said to look up a word with. a double z and use it.”
“I’m guessing no first names like Izzy or ZZ Top.”
“She never said anything about that.”
“There are a ton of words. Gizzard, pizzazz, pizza, sizzle, drizzle.”
“Come on, this is my prompt. Let me do it.”
“Sure. We have all day.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“No offense, but sometimes you are the dizziest when it comes to making a decision.”
“Yeah, nice thing to say. So sometimes I get puzzled. No one’s perfect.”
“I think the word to describe your condition is frazzled.”
“Okay, I got it. I’m going to talk about the Grizzley bear.”
“Careful. Make sure that thing has a muzzle.”
“Ha ha, very funny. Thanks for the razzing.”
“All these double z words makes me thirsty for a guzzle.”
“You thinking of getting sozzled?”
“Could be on the list. Want to help me swizzle.”
“You bet. When I’m sufficiently fuzzed, I’m coming home to jump in the Jacuzzi.”
“You have to stop now. I think you are done.”
“For shizzle. Fizzy barley pop here we come.”
“Just shoot me.”
