Gad that headline took some figuring out. This is Stream of Consciousness Saturday and this weeks prompt is “abash/a bash/bash.” Linda Hill further orders to use “abash,” or “bash” as a noun or a verb. Then she offered up bonus points if we manage all three. Her final order, “Have fun!” (Easy for her to say).
If you would like to be under the boot of the lovely Ms. Hill go to her blog and read how. Here is the link.

Abash/A Bash/Bash by John W. Howell ©2019
“Now you’ve gone and done it.”
“Done what?”
“Oh, don’t start with me.”
“I’m serious. I have no idea what you are talking about.”
“That bash in my car? You know nothing about it?”
“I am nonplussed. I know nothing about your car.”
“You have defined ‘abash’ very nicely. The fact remains no one has driven my car but you.”
“That’s not true.”
“Name someone else.”
“You.”
“Besides me. I know I didn’t put a bash in my car.”
“I didn’t either.”
“So who put a bash in my car?”
“Did it ever occur to you that someone in the parking lot ran into you.”
“Dirty swine.”
“I know right?”
“I feel I could use a drink.”
“Cheer up. At least the car wasn’t new.”
“A 1979 Ford Galaxy 500 is a classic.”
“In some other life.”
“I could bash you for that.”
“Oh, come on. Let’s get a drink.”
“And call some friends and have a bash.”
“Sounding better each minute.”

I’m not sure “Classic” is the word he was looking for. Nice job on a tough prompt, John.

Good job, John. I especially liked the ’79 Ford Galaxy 500 mention. My father had one and I loved that car!

My dear friend had a 1979 Ford galaxy. We drove around on Saturday nights in that car having the time of my lives. Great post!

Oh, to suffer the indignity of being blindsided in a parking lot. And then, adding insult to the injury by not even leaving an “I was here” note!
I wouldn’t feel much like attending a bash after that. Until maybe the third round of drinks . . .

Yeah that third one settles a lot of angst. 😀
