I'm
delighted to participate in the 2nd Annual CheersFest.
Last year we roasted The Ninja Captain, and this year my wonderful
friend
Arlee
“Lee” Bird
has been chosen as the
honoree. A very deserving guy, not just because he's the Godfather
of the April Blogging from A-Z Challenge (you have heard of
that, right?) but because he's an all-around class act. Cheers to
you, my friend. This next part has word limits...egads, I'm going to
epically fail...
- Why did Lee come up with the A-Z Challenge? Arlee started the Challenge to celebrate his birthday.
- If someone dreams about being a juggler, what does it mean? Google says: If you successfully juggle alone, or for no particular reason, this may reflect the desire or feeling that you actually are controlling numerous facets of your life.
- Is a post by Mr. Bird worth two in the bush? A post by Mr. Bird is worth WAY more than two in the bush. He writes with insight and to stir up conversation. Boy, does he succeed!
- Who could play Lee in a documentary? (Living or dead.) I pick a live person...I say Sean Connery. I've never heard Lee talk, maybe he has a Scottish accent ;-)
In
+/- 100 words, (excluding
the title) write flash fiction using all these
prompts: Bird, Juggles, Challenge, Brown Jacket, Tossing
Flaming Turkey Wings!
The
man in the brown jacket
found it a challenge
to juggle those flaming turkey wings. Tossing
them into the air for a fourth try, he was finally successful. So if
you see a man who juggles
parts of a bird,
you know who it must be...
For
Bonus Points: (like I could resist...)
· In +/- 40 words, can you come up with a caption for Lee’s Facebook picture?
· In +/- 40 words, can you come up with a caption for Lee’s Facebook picture?
If
juggling was easy, everyone would be doing it. It's not, so I'm
cool.
Happy CheersFest my friend! I hope this day makes you feel as special and appreciated as you truly are.

Flaming turkey wings! I like it.
There have been some funny posts today. Think Lee is enjoying it.
I know I'm enjoying it because this year it's not ME!
Okay, now I'm just hungry!
Sean Connery has such a sexy voice.
Yes, Lee is definitely cool, and a class act all around, as you say, Tina!
Great CheersFest post
Juggling is cool, and so are Flaming Turkey Wings!
Flaming turkey wings - Turkey flambe!
When you're hot, you're hot. Sorry, my muse made me do trot out that cliche.
Hi Tina,
You really roasted our loving Bird!!
Well said, Yes, i liked this: If juggling was easy, everyone would be doing it. It's not, so I'm cool,,,, Cool....
Keep inform
Best

Why just the wings? I think it should be flaming turkeys. Like bowling balls.
Love it! Happy Arlee Bird Day!
Flaming Turkey Wings, YIKES! The second vote for Sean that I've seen so far. Good choice.
Flaming turkey wings is cool! I love the Sean Connery pick!
Someone else picked Sean and I though the same thing. Connery is Scottish. Oops, I said British. haha
ha. juggling flaming turkey wings....smiles....nice...i can not juggle....
Hm, Sean Connery eh? I would certainly watch that movie. I wonder if Sean can juggle.
Lee's posts are ever thought provoking. Flaming turkey wings? Good luck juggling that for real. Sean Connery has multiple picks. So does surprisingly my pick Alan Rickman. Nice post for Lee, I'm so glad you, myself and others came out this year for Cheerfest 2.0.
Hahaha! I said Sean Connery too! LOL. Who knows what Lee sounds like! And Tina, LOVED all of this. Way fun. The FF was brilliant and loved your answers. Thanks so much for participating---I hope Lee feels loved!
Sorry, no Scottish accent, and I'll take my martinis any way I can get 'em--shaken, stirred, out of a can, whatever.
Guess I'm stuck with that brown jacket image.
Thanks for the sweet and fun post, dear valuable A to Z Co-host.

Tossing It Out
Hey Tina,
Oh yeah, first the ninja dude, then the guy obsessed with the alphabet! :) Hmmmm....no conspiracy theories from me.....
A worthy roast to the worthiest of roasted Bird. Juggling flaming turkey wings. I like that. Once again, I wont mention what "Tossing" means in Britain. No way.
I like you caption, Tina. Juggling isn't easy, just like juggling more than one blog, isn't easy.
A very nice post to Lee. And what's with this A to Z Challenge? Please, make it STOP!
Nice one Tina and all the best to Lee.

Being from England originally Gary, I know exactly what it means LOL
i chuckle in a good way... cook it, roast it and then eat! :)
Hi Tina - love the flaming turkey wings and I think Lee would do that .. then the juggling alone - well everything would always be up in the air ...
Lee's done a great job bringing bloggers together - where we all have the opportunity to meet up and find new inspiration around the net ..
Everyone's had some fun roasting Lee ... cheers Hilary
