Every third Thursday, the town of Bullscock began its two week long festivities. A celebration of all things Spanish in honour of the town’s founder, Norman Crackers.
History tells us that Norman once visited Spain for a 2 week getaway and really enjoyed it. He drank Sangria, danced the flamenco, and ate paella. The paella had given him a dodgy tummy, but he insisted that he’d give it another go.
On his return, Norman had brought with him a pot of bull testicles. An odd parting gift, but one that was to shape the economical growth of the town forever.
Submitted for Friday Fictioneers photo prompt. See if you can write a piece of flash fiction in 100 words.
…. yeah, I don’t know either. Odd boy.
Dear Mr. Binks,
I shudder at the shape of things to come. Funny.
Shalom,
Rochelle
are you being filthy, Rochelle? How rude! 😉
Filthy? C’est moi? I didn’t mention any particular shape, did I? 😉
This was pretty unique, to say the least! Norman’s quite a character. Seems that these townsfolk are celebrating Spain more than Spain ever did. (And I don’t even want to think about the bull testicles…*shudder*)
Thanks – I think? 🙂
Haha, no worries, all of that is a compliment. I like a story with some absurdity—it makes me think!
So, what do these two weeks of festivities entail? Actually, don’t tell me. 🙂
Nudge, nudge. Wink, wink. SAY. NO. MORE!
Another laugh out loud moment from me. Even the name ‘Norman Crackers’ makes me laugh… great little take on the prompt.
\o/ Yay!
Glad you liked it. The name Norman Crackers was making me smile too. (Hello dad.)
Look, I don’t normally do this but… Did you see yesterday’s non-fictioneer-type-post? I think you might like it. (Becuase it’s silly.) https://meyoucoffee.wordpress.com/2014/04/08/the-other-man/
bull testicles! love it:)
Norman Crackers is a wonderful name. Bull testicles just about the most repellent of aphrodisiacs I should think. A truly original take on the prompt.
Thanks, Sandra. The name made me smile too ;D
Funny! 🙂 What a crazy town. That was different to say the least but I laughed out loud. 🙂 I clicked on the link to your other story and it “”was” silly, but funny. 🙂
Thank you very much! And thanks for looking at the other stuff, too.
I cross my legs to such behaviors …
: )
This reminds me of a joke whose punchline is: “Yes, but today, senor, the bull WON”.
There are no winners here, only ballless bulls.
Nice job. Way to end the festivities! lol
Thanks ;D
Aww, heck, they’ve been doing Rocky Mountain Oysters in Colorado and out west for years. 🙂 I think “give it another go” is my favorite line. It had already given him quite a go.

They don’t sound *that* tasty, if I’m honest. ; )
Depends how they’re cooked. 🙂
Having tasted Bulls testicles, albeit unknowingly, thank you Norman 🙂
ha ha : )
This is the funniest (and most bizarre) story I’ve read this week, Mr Binks. Congratulations!
Huzzah! 😀 Thanks for reading (and following).
Nothing tastes better than the original.
I’d love to know what the town’s tourism brochures look like…
Great fun. A true and adventurous gourmet. (Goes really well with rocket salad).
Thanks very much 🙂
Bollocks! 😀
Great story, loved the way you strung it together.
Cheers! : )
They certainly have some strange festivals in Spain but that takes the biscuit … or whatever you’re having yourself!
😀 They sure do.
First with your story this week, Mr. Binks– You’re really on the “ball!” 😉
Badoom-TISH!
;D
What a load of bullocks!
Delightful!
I can’t decide whether or not I want to visit Bullscock or avoid it at all costs. Then again, I hear that Rocky Mountain Oysters are quite a treat! Fascinating story!
Love this story, but I would shy away from the bull testicles. I’m adventurous, but not too much when it comes to food.
What a lighthearted and enjoyable romp. I can see you had lots of fun with the prompt this week.
Cheers!
Marie Gail
Oh Dear. Oh My and la tee dah. Adventure has limits…even for me 😉
