A Dinner Date With keithcancook

A Dinner Date With keithcancook
by keithcandoslapstick

A dinner date with keithcancook is more than an experience to savor. Especially on Halloween. I love to cook this time of year. Harvest time and all. When I am having a woman over for dinner, it is no casual affair. I go all out. I make sure the house is immaculately clean, (well, the front room at least). I even stock the bathroom with Charmin, (there's no eight square limit, ladies. I swear).

Then there's the food. Homemade, from scratch. Saucy, spirited, and overbold. Mmm. Wait. That might have been my date. I am proud of my sauce though, all kidding aside. (yeah right, this is a Venting Blog post).

Anyway, last year at Halloween, as I was waiting on a date to arrive I tried to finish up the cooking. I had like 5 burners going on the stove, and a pumpkin pie I had just pulled from the oven cooling by the window. I had pulled the pie before the timer went off, and I forgot about the timer.

Just about then the doorbell rang, (my date!), and the timer went off.

With the sound of the oven timer buzzing in my ears I ran to the door, and opened it. There to my horror I found a small fire burning on my front porch. Instinctively I stomped on the burning paper bag and put out the flames.

Grrr! #$%$^&$ !

Hopping on one foot I tried to keep my smoking and smelly shoe off the carpet as I rushed back to the oven, flipping the switch to the timer. It began to buzz even louder, and I mashed it repeatedly to try and make it stop.

It was at that moment that the phone on the wall rang. With the oven timer wailing unceasingly I hopped to the phone. Ooops! I lost my balance when I reached for the receiver. As my smoking stinkfoot came down it planted itself squarely in the trash can which burst into flames!

I jumped back, as the flames shot up the wall exploding the phone. The sauce on the burner overflowed as I turned and fled out the front door. Of course my good foot stepped itself in the smoking pile of shit still on my porch. I was sliding out of control as I tumbled off the porch and into the yard.

I looked up as the flames began flickering in the upper windows of my home. Flies were buzzing around my smoking feet.

The oven timer droned on...

The End.


Happy Halloween

Setting a scene that appears to be black, but turns out to be white is a time honored literary device.

Thank you, for letting me know that you liked my story.

Ha! You have only yourself to blame. It was your comment a few posts ago that spurred me to wax comedic. Fortunately you were forewarned, and thus prepared.

Thank you, for being my muse this time.

I'm guessing you googled the phrase "The oven timer droned on." It's kinda fun! "Shattered Haven", "Bullets Over Boise", " Cars from a Marriage" et al.

This is hilarious, Keith!

Your response hasn't posted here yet- the site is really funky lately- but I'll say right now that I never doubted that you wrote the phrase. But it was nagging me right away, reminding me of a familiar sentence that I still can't dredge up- not verbatim, just reminiscent. I searched it in hopes that I'd get lucky and get something to trigger my memory about what it reminded me of- no luck! I keep thinking Poe, but I can't place it. It's gonna bug me for days.

Yeah, I figured you had a collection going on over at your quoted page. I brought kooc in to try and make some sense of it. Ha!

I wonder what you call a literary ear worm without a source? I hope it's not insanity. Yikes!
