Jessica Rabbit has two messages for me last time. The first was delivered. It had to do with the prompt. that week. When we were last together, the question came out of my mouth. “And the second?” My head is pounding, trying to convince my still-bound hands to get coffee. Tied to a chair with Jessica Rabbit casting a long shadow from the bare light bulb behind her, there is little likelihood that coffee is on the agenda.
My feeling that the next words out of Jessica’s mouth would be an offer I couldn’t refuse was confirmed when she parted her lips, slowly licked her teeth, and said, “My statue or you are a dead man.”
Stuttering and trying to explain that the statue’s location was not included in my knowledge base had little effect on Jessica’s intimidating demeanor. “It seems, She began. “That you don’t care for your life.” After a pause, she continues, “How about I take your sight one eye at a time?”
Now things are getting out of hand. If I had knowledge of the site of the stupid statue, I would give it up faster than a cat’s hairball. How to convince Jessica of this fact was the center of my mind’s activity. Finally, the solution seeped into my brain. Convincing Jessica to release me while we both go to a fictitious location where Jessica is convinced the statue is being kept might allow me to break free. It will be risky but worth a shot.
The proposal is presented to Jessica, and she bites. She lets me know that any false move will be met with extreme prejudice. She also tells me that Linda Hill called with the following message. Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “sight/site.” Use one, use them both, use them any way you’d like. Bonus points if you use them both. Have fun!
If you want to see what other bloggers have done with the prompt, go to Linda’s blog and check them out. Here is the link https://lindaghill.com/2023/06/16/the-friday-reminder-and-prompt-for-socs-june-17-2023/

“Okay, so you got both words in there.”
“Yup. Bonus point for me.”
“What do bonus points get you?”
“I always say they can be redeemed for a Bently Turbo convertible.”
“That would be a sight. How many points will that take?”
“Um, maybe two lifetimes.”
“So why keep saying it?”
“Cause it’s fun. I already have four lug nuts.”
“Funny you should mention nuts. This site is ground zero.”
“Yes, well. You hang out here enough.”
“That’s cause the VooDoo Ranger is free.”
“Nice segway. Contact Uber.”
“Already done. There he is in a Bently Turbo convertible>”
“Where?”
“Just messing with you. He’s in the Gremlin over there.”
“Not nice to play tricks.”
“But oh so easy.”

Curl up and squeeze into the Gremlin. The Subaru Brat at lease offered something like rumble seats in the back.

I remember that. They were facing back and were outside the cabin. Good times in the rain.

Grumbling in a Gremlin. Well at least you are off to see the Ranger. Which will give you time to plan your escape from Jessica.

Dear John
We would like to drive a Bentley Turbo Convertible. The problem is we can’t decide on the colour. Siri 🙂 is for British racing green, Selma 🙂 votes for black, Dina doesn’t mind and I haven’t decided yet.
A Gremlin is really not in style. Well, a WooDoo Ranger is not so much better.
Anyway, have a great weekend

Anyway, I’m only 50/50 on that your plan will work.
I can send in one of my agents, if you need!
I’m sure he will put that JR in her place!

I know that guy. The last time he visited he put enough holes in the ceiling to see the stars. I’m going to play it out. Your odds are better than what I came up with. Mine were in the 70/30 area. So I’m going ahead.
