I confuse Rod Stewart and Barry Manilow so often that I wonder if they’re confused which one they are, as well. Clocks and Maps aren’t LITERALLY the same song. But metaphorically? Th...

So, what you’re telling me is, Ben & Jerry didn’t do a DUNE tie-in dessert treat called FRANK SHERBERT? Really? If they’d only asked. I didn’t tell them because I figured it was too obvi...

Punky Brewster’s stereotypical Boston identical cousin Punky Worcester. A hack of Super Mario Brothers 2 to make it about the Flanders family from The Simpsons and it’s called “OKIE-DOKI...

The Worrier King sat upon his Throne of Doubts, as he so often did, and thought “What If?” as he often did as well. What if he’d not been such a miserable coward when he was young? What if he ha...

It’s weird being on a medicine for its intended purpose when it’s gotten so trendy for its off-label use. Like, man, I know you’re just trying to cut 20 pounds for beach season, but me, I’m ...

Paying for an ad-free online experience is like encouraging a school yard bully by giving him what he wants. You give him what he wants, next time he’ll be back for even more! You pay them, ...

Ask someone acting all sullen: “dude, who wamboed your Combos?” …how has Christopher Lloyd never played the Batman villain “Mr. Freeze”? It seems almost too obvious. Already has the “I w...

Perhaps olives have all been exposed to the horrors of the dating scene in their 30s and 40s, that’s why they’re so damned salty and bitter. I understand, olives, I really do. Getting yo...
prompt: now, title: once upon a time in misc. flash fiction
When she stumbled back to the campground alone, to the smell of her friends cooking eggs and roast-vegetables over the campfire, it was hardly a surprise. Sara-with-no-H who now preferred the na...

A stoner super-spy whose love interests are all named, like, Drugs O’Plenty or Maryjane Sweetleaf or whatever. Three word movie pitch: “Wreck It ALF”. Did they ever do a Supersoaker ...

In “Yo Yogi” I could never quite parse out whether the bear was wearing brown pants or whether that was the bear’s furry legs. The bear had a shirt & socks & shoes, possibly also ska...

Title something ENGLISH AS A FINAL LANGUAGE. You shouldn’t judge people by the haircuts of the people they’re dating. You shouldn’t. It doesn’t matter that you would be absolutely correc...
The doctors have all told me I’m the last person on Earth who has to die, that is to say, the last human being who will ever die of old age or the euphemistic “natural causes”. People can still ...

If I had THAT kind of confidence, man, I’d either be king by now or dead twenty years ago. Fearing the stigma of having actually declared bankruptcy, he attempted to file for Chapter Who...

Why say “polearm combat training” when you could say “staff development day”? You can’t spell Penelope without “elope” so stay safe out there. At least Love Me Do was never in a Moun...

A solid name for a Southern gothic horror host character would be “Morguenolia”. In Canada, they call donut holes “Timbits”. Here in the Northeastern United States, we call them “Munchki...
