Drabble by Kevin Fagan for May 28, 2023

Ralph has been here before…

It’s the old “ 50 questions” routine, I know it well.

Google is your friend honeybunch!

Sometimes, a backstory just isn’t necessary.

I had a GF who did this. I finally started ending any observation with: That’s all I know, so don’t ask any questions, okay?

I can identify Ralph

Ask me no questions and I’ll tell you no lies.

Ralph is channeling Charlie Brown in the last frame.

Sometimes a picture of a batter who just got his first major league hit is just a picture of a batter who just got his first major league hit.

How did these two even GET married?

Ralph’s sigh at the end is like something out of ‘Peanuts’.

It would just be easier to say you were watching a dirty video…

That’s why…

Honestly, if I was married to her…I wouldn’t be.

Ralph knew this would lead to Extra Innings.

Except that reason.

Four hundred words where four would suffice

Daniel Nava swung at the first pitch he saw in the major leagues and hit a grand slam homerun.

Thus, the reason to not show her.

Better, a TV show or movie you haven’t seen before comes on and two minutes in: “What’s his/her background? Good guy or bad guy? Will that one die? Are those two going to be together? Will there be a long-lost twin?” (ad infinitum).

Oh, the horror, the horror. How dare she express interest in something he liked & showed to her? What an awful thing to do!! /sarcasm

That’s why!
