Tempers Rising

Золтан Сирчак


I just got into an argument on an escalator,

and it started to escalate.

Song Parody

Quesadilla

A song parody of Señorita by Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes

Fernando Andrade

Play the video at the end of the song and sing along!


I love it when you bring me quesadillas
No dish is quite my friend like that tortilla
Yeah, every bite is ooh, la, la
It’s true, la, la, la
Ooh, the cheese is running
Ooh, the taste is stunning, love you

Searching Miami
I suffer from some stomach pain
Dread eating at me
Food trucks were soon my only aim, la, la, la
I need some food, la, la, la
Sí, no

Desire burned bright
We ate for hours at taco stands
Until the sunrise
Food wrappers felt right in my hands, la, la, la
They smelled like ooh, la, la, yeah

I love it when you bring me quesadillas
No dish is quite my friend like that tortilla
But every crunch is ooh, la, la
It’s true, la, la, la
Ooh, the cheese is running
Ooh, the taste is stunning

(I love it) When you bring me quesadillas
I wish my cousin Joe had time to meet ya
But every crunch is ooh, la, la
It’s true, la, la, la
Ooh, the cheese is running
Ooh, the taste is stunning, love you

Stocked up my hotel
There just some things you must arrange
You say we must cleanse
But fruit don’t taste the way it tastes, la, la, la

’Cause Uber’s been a long time coming, don’t you eat it all

Oooahh

Ooh, when my lips are pressing
Oops, can’t be undone
Ooh, don’t need no ranch dressing
Chomp, chomp

I love it when you bring me quesadillas
No dish is quite my friend like that tortilla
But every crunch is ooh, la, la
It’s true, la, la, la
Ooh, the cheese is running
Ooh, the taste is stunning

(I love it) When you bring me quesadillas
I wish my cousin Joe had time to meet ya
But every crunch is ooh, la, la
It’s true, la, la, la
Ooh, the cheese is running
Ooh, the taste is stunning, love you

I’m not strong, I’ll be coming for you (for you)
And I hope you’ll be bringing one too (hoooo)
Too my shame, I’ll be coming for two
Coming for two (coming for two)
Coming for two

My ‘dilla
My ‘dilla (I love you, my quesadilla)
My ‘dilla

Ooh, the food is Latin
Ooh, the phrase is French, how cool


Travel Doodle

Une Belle Ville!

Mark Starlin

Choosing my favorite travel destination is hard. My wife and I try to go someplace new every vacation (most of the time.) So our next destination is usually my favorite destination.

Big cities usually don’t appeal to me. But I have to say, I thought Paris was beautiful. We enjoyed our weekend there (which included bicycling around the grounds of Versailles.) I wouldn’t mind going back to see more of the city.

Microfiction

Fishing On Newdawn

The tale of the ancients

Public Domain Pictures



Justin and his grandfather were cleaning some Guddin fish for dinner.

“Tell me more about the Ancients, Grandpa.”

“Well, they used machines to make their lives easier.”

“What are machines?”

“It’s hard to explain. Machines are unnatural things the Ancients taught to think. The machines eventually consumed their lives.”

“Why don’t we have machines?”

“Some of the Ancients decided to free themselves of machines. But to do so, they had to use a machine. The one that brought our kind here. Then they destroyed the machine and vowed never to use machines again.”

“What was the Ancient’s planet called?”

“Earth.”

Happy Monday. Thanks for reading and responding. You make it fun.

Mark

All your works in this post are excellent and fun, Mark. But, the quesadilla song...ooo la la la!! 🥰

My favorite part of Paris was the Centre Georges Pompidou and Notre Dame (decades before the fire).

The quesadilla song is a solid candidate for a Grammy, just saying... 🤣
