The explosions started slowly
then came in rapid fire succession,
bursts echoing in our ears.
When all was quiet,
we savored our buttery popped kernels of corn.

An explosive narrative, MM.
Have you tried the ones where the popcorn is still on the cob? I haven't yet, but it looks like fun.
My entry is here
That's made me want some :o)
My serious 160 is indeed posted!
Thinks- I wonder how many of your readers will have to pop corn after reading this?! LOL
I get to be the first to say this was pretty corny.
Gin fire, gun fire...
:D
Here is mine:
let it grow up
Popping corn - yum! (Mine always burns . . . )
Mine is up.

Hi,
I have taken up your challenge and posted "Commuters" this bright Sunday morning.
I want to thank Moondustwriter for see this on her Blog. I have enjoyed the others who have posted and commented here.

Happy Superbowl y'all
Pop in a movie and I'll pop on by! Wonderful 160...although I expect that from the creator of this meme.
Here's

Act II Butter-Lovers!!!
I played...
Yikes...I just edited my "159" to "160". Whew. I am now in compliance with the rules!
You are always such a literary tease!
you'll find my sunday-160at the end of the link I was here a long time ago but the doors weren't open as of yet.
Gangsters
mmm..popcorn will be great for the super bowl tonight. I'm hoping to get in a 160 today before I head off to the party :)
Gotta go to the Popcorn gig, beginning tonight at 6 PM--Oh! wanted to tell you: I'm IN!
You got me!
Love this popcorn "war" 160 today! So clever.
Here's my link: http://bodhirose.wordpress.com/2011/02/06/no-umbrella/
it does sound a bit like war, I agree - if only real wars came to as definitive (and savory) an ending...

WHEW, thats as close as most Americans will get to Egypt's riots....oh yeah, pass the bowl.
mine is finally up.
Happy Sunday Monkey Man!
Yum, popcorn and the Superbowl..... a great combo!
Ooohh... loved the "sorny" twist!! Yummyyy!!!!
You gotta try roasting corn on the cobs, and then sprinkling some lime juice and salt n pepper on it!! You will dig it!! :)) It's a monsoon specialty in Mumbai (India), but I am thinking it'll be perfect for snowy winters too!
And here's my 160 for this week...
oops... I mean "corny"...duhhh :))
Yum, great lead up. A tasty treat for you and us. I have a late 160, visited a few others already and am now off to bed. Thanks for hosting MM!
Enjoy!
A little late, but I've finally posted one :)
love your twists in the tale.
I love the way you always make us believe you're talking about one thing, and I totally fall for it, until we get to the last line and you spring the surprise on us. You're so good it!
So good to see you! Yes, our Oregon coast is the place to be; Portland is a great second too.
popcorns eh :p lovely write MM
