Deipnosophist & beetles

I entered the mud hut and sat opposite the tribe’s chief, his raw and rugged face unwavering like the mountains outside. He’s a man of few words, and fewer emotions. But, me being the deipnosophist I am, I started to engage him in conversation. This soon turned into a monolog as I noticed he simply would not reply, apparently finding a beetle crawling on the floor between us to be more…

The One Word Story: “Noticed in the Lunchroom” by R. Scott Whitley

Happy Monday, all! Well, as happy a Monday as you can make it. Today’s story is from my good buddy R Scott Whitley. Since Pope’s “World’s End” project, Reggie has been there, with one great story after another. Today’s story is about the biggest gut punch you’ll ever receive.

"The Pseudo-Deipnosophist"

We all have our quirks.  Birds or humans are on equal footing on this ground.  Mine falls within the range of "strange."   I tend to belt out my melodramatic "I Love You" and "I Love You Too" aubades at the break of dawn when I am having one of those "talkative" moments.  More so, I cannot help but torment the person next to me as I provide the frantic rumblings of a seemingly raving lunatic over breakfast. If I am human, you could call me a "deipnosophist" who would not back out from an engaging conversation.  I revel on a good talk.  Therefore, if you are in the mood for a conversation or two, give me a holler next time.  Meanwhile, ciao, my fellow two-legged friends!

Deipnosophist

Wisened Greek philosophy, Behind the mashed potatoes, Wondering or wittering With expostulating hands, Nodded heads, hearty chuckles, Behind the roasted carrots, Green beans, salad. One more Pinot Noir, Off they spark again, I crack, blank, wide eyed, Nod, Take a large spoon of mashed potatoes.
