Week 40 of Saturday Centus the prompt is to use up to 100 words (not including the prompt) using the line "It was growing bigger by the minute..."
What An Atmosphere!
What an atmosphere and it was growing bigger by the minute. The tension in the room was palpable, you could cut it with a knife.
If only he had kept his big mouth shut, but too late for that now, his foot was well and truly in his mouth and the icy silence wasn't being helped by his Donald Duck impressions! Why did he always resort to that, when he had inadvertantly insulted someone.
I've told him before, even though it diverts attention away from his original remark, however good his impressions are, they just makes things worse.
It's his nerves you know, he can't help it.

LOL ... I LOVED this!!
OMG... I KNOW this guy!! I love slice of life takes on Jenny's prompts. I enjoyed yours very much!
Oh, it is Saturday cartoon reference day! Pinochicco, Rudolph, and now Donald Duck. Everyone is on a roll here! :)
Donald Duck impressions...yech.
I knew someone who did that a lot...
good take on the prompt.
Pity the poor socially awkward! I like your take on the prompt this week.
Nice, different take on the prompt! I actually know someone who does impressions whenever he's uncomfortable. Great job. Kat
I loved this. Such a different way then others have done so far. Really well written. I can really see someone in this situation. Good job.
But I love Donald Duck! So cool how you opened right up to it! Nice!
Talk about leaving a poor impression...poor fellow!
Good job!
Fun. That's all I can say because so many people get this way - open mouth, insert foot, and then make it worse by trying to brush it off with something totally off base -E :)

I know that guy, too! In fact, I was married to him--but not any more!!
Oh, I like it - especially since I've resorted to Donald Duck impressions at times like this. Maybe I'll just be stopping those from now on. It is rather annoying.

That's me but I'm the woman version - LOL! I liked the way you went with the prompt.
This was clever and original. I liked it.
=)
I loved that. I work with a guy that doesn't do the impressions, but he makes an uncomfortable situation even worse with his laughter at the worse times.
good job.
LOL, good old foot in mouth. Nice use of the prompt!

I really liked how you did this!
let it grow big
loved how you used the 'growing' for a moment instead of an actual item or thing. brilliant!
yes, most of the times impressions backfire...its tough to come back after double disasters...liked this.
I think we all know a guy like this...sometimes it can even be someone close to us!
Good one...cartoon characters rule ( and the human fools who they resemble ) !!!
Some people are just like that!
Very funny and clever.
Best wishes,
