The Art of Wart

lozenger8 did this, and I thought it sounded like fun.

The instruction is to write a drabble, exactly 100 words, based on your default icon. No cheating and switching icons for the purpose!

This isn't going to be much like the one she wrote, but I hope it's none the worse for that. Here we go:

While generally only known for his attempt to conquer the world, Wart’s career was actually a long and varied one. After his childhood dream of being the first amphibian in the Mushroom Football League was ended by a knee injury, he went into academics. During his college years, he became involved in amphibian rights, and was involved in a plot to destroy a biology lab with a Bob-omb. After being released from prison, he worked as a cook, but this was ended by his vegetable allergy. It was only after this that he turned to an attempt at world conquest.

Let's see. What else? Well, I watched Saw III last night. I didn't love the Saw films, but the idea behind them was interesting. Some of Jigsaw's examples of people not fully appreciating life got a bit ridiculous, though. Okay, drug addicts and cheating spouses I can see, but professional snoops and coroners? Oh, well. The guy IS insane, after all.

Here's a Friday Five survey I got from rockinlibrarian:

1. American football: good times or couldn't care less?
Couldn't care less, really. If I had to get into a sport, it's much more likely to be baseball, but I think I'll probably just continue my non-sports-watching ways.

2. Do you have a favorite sports team?
No, although I probably would if I WERE to get interested in sports. You need someone to root for, right? At the very least, I wouldn't think they all were equal.

3. What's your favorite junk food?
Well, some people count pizza as junk food, but I don't know if I do. I guess I'd say Goldfish crackers.

4. Are football players paid too much?
Yes, although I suppose you could argue that it's just the free market at work. I mean, if people weren't so willing to pay top dollar for game tickets and football memorabilia, they probably wouldn't be able to afford to pay them as much. While I would probably favor a certain level of income redistribution, it's probably not going to happen.

5. Who do you think will win this year's Superbowl?
I really don't know anything about either team, but if I were forced to choose a team to root for (and I realize that's not the same as which one I think will win), I guess it would be the Bears. I've never been to Chicago, but it sounds like a pretty nice place, aside from the incredible cold. And I think a bear is a better mascot than a colt, although I realize that's not a very good way to make decisions. I mean, I think an elephant is a cooler animal than a donkey, but I'm a registered Democrat.


Speaking of donkeys, I had a crazy dream that Patti's dog Jess was chasing one around the yard. There was another one about waiting in line to try out for a position in a movie that involved being set on fire, but I can't remember as much about that one.

That was awesome! :D

I think the point of the meme is that everyone else's will be vastly different.

Thanks. I guess it was fortunate that my default icon is a character-based one. Some of the others might have been more difficult to make a story out of.
