Longest Word in English?
On Day 1 of the 1016 (OOPS! 2016, that should be ... hmmm ... I'm sure Mel Brooks could make something funny of that blooper but, right now, I can't think of one ... **sigh**) A-to-Z Challenge, I included "antidisestablishmentarianism" in my list of words for the day. I was asked if that was the longest word in English ... well ..
"What about Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious?"
To be honest, without writing out both words inside the blocks of graph paper, I'm sure I will mess up the count of letters -- you tell me which one is longer ... LOL!
HOWEVER ... There is one word that is longer! Can you guess what it is? I will reveal it in an up-coming post (S actually -- hint, hint ...) You'll groan, want to throw rotten tomatoes at me and maybe want to kick me (instead of yourself) once it is revealed ...

Remember Les Nessman -- Eyewitness Weather for WKRP? He announced, "This is Les Nessman with your Eyewitness Weather. 50% accurate." And he turned around, lifted a slat in the Venetian Blinds to peek outside to report the current conditions ...
Well, I saw a video over at YouTube on that opening page of "We think you will want to see all these videos" -- but the IE froze and crashed before I could "collect" the share link -- and besides, I really just wanted you to see the sentiment used on the card -- and that I do remember --

Call to Action
There are 5 things you can do to earn a free gift (probably a selection of Color-Your-Own SuseDoodle postcards from a forthcoming collection to be released soon! WOO HOO!) All five Call to Action options can be found here -- two can be answered in the Comments Section here or via the InLinkz section at the end of the post ... I wanted to set the closing date as May 7 but InLinkz would not let me run a link list for that long ... so the deadline is May 1 ...
Five-Minute Fiction --> I don't remember whether the old meme "Fiction Friday" involved writing for 5 or 10 minutes. However, there was a sort of rule -- using their prompt, write for 5 (or 10) minutes minimum and do no editing (I did try to spell-check at least, though) ... then return and share the link to your blog post using the Mr Linky they provided. For 5-Minute Fiction, basically the same "rule" applies except I ask you to keep it G or PG rated, try to use at least 3 words from the list, drop your link for your writing in the Link Share at my post for 5-Minute Fiction and please include a link back to the SuseADoodleDo post for that letter (at your post).

500-word Flash Fiction --> Similar to the above, editing allowed, but there is a 500-word limit to your piece of writing. Again, I ask you to keep it G or PG rated, try to use at least 3 words from the list, drop your link for your writing in the Link Share at my post for 500-word Flash Fiction and please include a link back to the SuseADoodleDo post for that letter (at your post).

Artsy Interpretation --> Create a doodle or illustration using words from the list, post it at your blog or Flickr (NO Instagram as I do not have an account there and cannot get one since I cannot join Instagram from my laptop), add a link to my blog's post for the letter at your post and come back to drop your link in the Link Share at my post for Artsy Interpretation.
