Weekly Writer's Challenge
"At last," Garfield murmured to himself. After so many years of being tormented by the twin idiocies of Jon and Odie, his revenge would finally be complete. It had been a long, hard road. First, Garfield had sneaked out of the house, heroically leaving Pooky and his lasagna behind. Then, he'd traveled to the mystical lands of the Far East, where he'd dyed his fur black, learned the ninja arts of stealth and cunning, and finally, developed a chemical compound that gave him the abilities of super-strength and levitation. Now, he hovered far above the little Arbuckle house, his Log of Doom ready and waiting. Garfield smiled evilly as he noticed the car pulling in the driveway. "Liz," he thought. "Perfect."
He waited a few agonizing moments as Liz exited the car and Jon dashed out to meet her, idiot grin wide on his idiot's face. When Odie ran out too and began yipping in excitement, Garfield knew the time had come. With a mighty effort, he flung the thrice-cursed Log of Doom down upon the hapless humans and the even-more-hapless pup. Then he threw back his head and howled in triumph.
In the distance, Arlene turned her head, tears staining her furry cheeks. "Oh, my love, what have you done?" she whispered. And then, she disappeared, into the growing darkness.

ROFL!
Wtf?
xDDDD
Dear Mr. Spelling-Stalinist, "Garfied"? I recognize Jon, Odie, and Arlene... yet who is this new player?
@Edgebreak - I'm mortified! I'm mortified!
The cosmos is now right again; I have corrected the anomaly.
@VaultESL - It happens to the best of us... obviously.
Haha!
What was he thinking?
Hello vault! How are you doing? I miss you a lot. Nothing much is going on with xanga right now--well as far as I'm concerned. Anyway, uhm, I did a post about you. It's not an official entry for legendairy's contest--I just wrote a post about you. Miss you a lot.
Have a great day!
@purpleritz20 - oh, wow....I'm overwhelmed. thank you ever so much. *bows again*.
Haha. I like how you write. Painting pictures with words is what I say. "Jon dashed out to meet her, idiot grin wide on his idiot's face." Hahahaha, sadly, that is how I remember Jon (not only in the cartoon, but the comic strip).
P.S. Why the title? If this post was a response to a challenge, I say you have done an excellent job.
Personally, I'd have told a tale that ended in explaining why the blackened, charred remains of a cat were attached to the telephone pole.... but that's just me.
You don't mess with the Garfield.
@CarmenDeBizet - yeah, there's a Xanga called weekly_writer's_challenge, which does these things. there's a new one every Friday, which means I am terribly behind with the old one. ah, well. incidentally, have you seen garfieldminusgarfield?
@Legendairy - I love the smell of toasted kitties in the morning.
@Amandasbiggestfan - no, you sure don't.
Garfield vs. Heathcliff.... who would win?
@Legendairy - heathcliff is a fighter, where as garfield is lazy. so my vote is on heathcliff. besides heathcliff has that posse were garfield has the idoit dog and a stuff bear as back up.
@FogOfConfusion - I tend to agree, but let's say it's just the two of them.... Odie can scrap.
@Legendairy - i still have to go with heathcliff on this one. garfield is lazy and doesn't have the stamina to really last in a fight. heathcliff is a proven brawler and fighter. garfield may have him on size and weight, but that is also his downfall.
@VaultESL - No, but the other day I saw a video titled The Real Garfield. LOL.
RYC:
Thank you very much for the little sweet mini you gave me! :]
@FogOfConfusion - I've been meaning to tell you, I like your profile picture.
@VaultESL - So is this challenge something I can join? Every Friday? Sounds intriguing.
@CarmenDeBizet - anyone can do it. i sub to that site but i don't do the challenges. i probably should to improve myself.
@CarmenDeBizet - thanks, i have been thinking of changing it. some say yes, others tell me not to. when i get another one or two, i might have a vote on my site to see what people think.
@CarmenDeBizet - here is the link. there's already a new one up. how-to manual. yaaayy!
@FogOfConfusion - I like it as well....
