Coffee Shop Blitz





Writer Gold: Sorry I’m late.  My hair just would not cooperate this morning.  I believe there’s enough static electricity running through me right now that if someone’s heart stopped I could shock them back to life.



Writer Blue: Why do you even bother with your hair…I mean it’s just us.



Writer Gold: I want to look good for you too.



Writer Red: Like we even notice.



Writer Black: Well I do notice, and I think your hair looks perfectly fine.



Writer Blue: I think it looks fine as well



Writer Red:  You both are kiss-asses!



Writer Gold: Thank you, ladies…and bite me Red!



Writer Red:  And have you shock me?  No thanks!



Writer Gold: Who wants to discuss their chapters first?



Writer Black: Before we get into that I was hoping we could first talk about the Blog Blitz.



Writer Blue: Blog what?  



Writer Black: Blitz…like in basketball.



Writer Gold: I think you mean football



Writer Red:  No, what she really means is the state she ends up after bar-hopping every Friday night.



Writer Black: Your husband doesn’t seem to mind.



Writer Red:  As if.



Writer Blue: I’m still confused.



Writer Red: That’s right… you were in Florida last week and probably didn’t see DL’s post.



Writer Blue: What’s he up to now? 



Writer Black: We’re gonna be playing tag.



Writer Blue: Huh?



Writer Red: It’s so cool! DL calls it a Blog Blitz.  First you sign up to be a Blitz team member on DL’s blog, then at random times he will email us a target and a date.



Writer Black: Then on that date we all bombard the unsuspecting blogger with comments.



Writer Gold: If he gets a lot of people to participate we might be talking 100, 200, who knows how many comments all at once.



Writer Blue: Oh, that’s so cool.



Writer Red: I know, right?  As of this morning he already had 137 people signed up.  I posted about it on my blog this morning, so hopefully that'll bring in a few more.



Writer Blue: So how is the lucky recipient going to be chosen?



Writer Gold: At first DL is going to choose, but then after a while he will start accepting recommendations.



Writer Blue: Can anyone be blitzed?



Writer Red:  You have to be a fellow Blitz Team member.  I emailed DL and asked him how long he was going to keep the list open and he said there wasn’t going to be an expiration date on it.



Writer Black: Is anyone else cold?  If feels especially chilly in here today.



Writer Gold: Ummmmmm…maybe it’s because you chose a blouse that shows an especially large amount of cleavage today.



Writer Black: It’s my feet that are cold…smart aleck.



Writer Red: They say cold air sinks.  Probably slipped right by those Ta Ta's and settled into your shoes.



Writer Blue: *chokes while sipping her coffee*



Writer Black: Jealous much?



Writer Blue: When will the blog blitzing begin?  Wow, try to say that three times fast.



Writer Gold: DL didn’t say, but I don’t imagine he’ll make us wait too long.



Writer Red: Can you imagine what it would be like to get deluged with so many comments?



Writer Black: I'd be like Alex Cavanaugh.


Writer Gold: You're no Ninja Captain...more like a Couch Potato Private.
