This week's word is BLUSTER here's the picture and my offering using the picture and word of the week in 140 characters, including spaces and punctuation.
Bluster was a big attraction at the stables as the laughing
horse.
What they don’t know is that he can talk too
and his grandfather is Mr Ed.

Scarily I'm old enough to remember Mister Ed!
I love Bluster.
I remember Mr. Ed, too, although I'm not sure why since I'm too young for it. Must have seen re-runs?
Bring Bluster over here to the States, he is sure to be many times smarter that the republicans running for president.
I agree with Beach Bum. Bring him over we need someone smarter that what is out there.
Don't laugh, but who is Mr.Ed? I laughed at the picture and at the comments (US, of course).
Good one ..
Me too AJ! :0
Obviously you have seen the re-runs SAW ;)
I bet Bluster is smarter than most of our politicians too Beach & Catsngrams!
Mr Ed was a talking horse who had his own show called appropriately Mr.Ed. Valerie
Thanks Daryl x
Your Succinctly Yours story gives a whole new meaning to laughing "stock"! (<--Livestock, that is.) Tee-hee!
I've seen the real, first runs, of Mr. Ed. He was regualr viewing for our family.
I think your Bluster is about ready for the big breaks, don't you? Laughing horses are hard to come by, especially one with his heritage and who can also talk.
..
BTW, speaking of heritage my Grandfather's line, Corkill, came from Isle of Man. Mrs. Jim and I visited in the fall of 2007.
Jim's 2007 Isle of Man visit
Just across the water, I am sure you have spent some time there in that pretty place.

Oh very clever SparkleFarkle :)
Mr Ed was regular viewing in our house too Jim! Yes, I've been to The Isle of Man, in fact that's where we spent our annual holidays when I was a child! I wrote about it a while back. :)
Nice one, Ake!
Mister Ed - yes, I saw the reruns too! Nice one Akela.
"and his grandfather is Mr Ed."
HAHAHAHAHHAAHAHA!
Excellent finish, m'dear!
And btw, I use to love watching Mr. Ed.
Have a wonderful Monday.....X
Hahaha --the WOTW is the horse's name! Good one. Bluster should cash in on his speaking ability, too! Several of us thought of Mr. Ed.
Ah Mr Ed! I remember him well. His predecesser was Francis the talking mule. I remember them well.
Thanks Mama Zen :)
Cheers Dumdad :)
It was a great programme wasn't it Ron? :)
Thanks Pat. Yes Mr Ed popped into a lot of people's mind with this pic.
I've never heard of Francis the talking mule Bankerchick, was it a TV show?
Hey, good thinking, using "Bluster" as the horse's name. Good work, and another cheer today for Mr. Ed.

He's wise to keep his talking ability to himself. Poor fella would never have a moment of peace if he let on he could talk!
Good to see someone who is happy for a change!
I don't think I ever missed an episode of Mr. Ed and I have to agree with Catsngrams; he is definitely smarter than these Republicans running for office. My hubby says a Jack #@& would do better.
I grew up on Mr. Ed The Talking Horse. You are right. He looks just like him!
I used to enjoy Mr Ed. Nice one.
Good old Mr Ed! x
lol. I'd love meet Bluster!!

I loved it and the photo was hysterical.

Nuts in May
Thanks Kay, glad you like it.
You're right Lisa, he'd be hounded if they knew he could talk.
Yes it is Cheshire Wife ;)
Can't comment on your politicians Judy as I don't know anything about them but I agree that Mr Ed was good!
The likeness struck me straight away Mimi!
Thanks Anthony
Indeed Flowerpot :)
So would I Crystal Jigsaw :)
So pleased you enjoyed it Maggie x
Is he really Mr. Ed's grandson or is that just Bluster. lol
Thanks so much for giving out this data, I browsed for this earlier but could find it only this place and camisetas baratas de futbol. Jot down further!
