A fusion of King Crimson’s “Thela Hun Ginjeet” and Bauhaus “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” built around the chorus “BELA LU GOSI, BELA LU GOSI, I’VE HEARD HE’S DEAD, BELA LU GOOOOOSI” (we can even mix in ...

“If everyone’s important, no one is” is not the lesson to walk away from this life with. “If you’re important, everyone is”. That’s the key to this whole brief ride. HOT TAKE: I dislike Cinci...

I like to think that an ice pirate would be all like “Unshiver Me Timbers!” Every Lord Huron song sounds like it is from a late 90s Miramax trailer. Like, it starts with the Huron song and en...

The rise of the zombies would be pretty interesting at, like, the circus cemetery. Twenty clowns all clawing up through the exact same grave. Soylent Hair Care is the human conditioner. I w...

There are worse ways to spend your day than trying to convince people that the song “Take The A-Train” was a coded message about doing butt stuff. Abbot and Costello but it’s The Hobbit and E...
prompt: flash, title: in a flash in misc. flash fiction
In a flash, you can bridge the impossibly-vast chasm between the lonely islands of two human minds, forging a connection there like a welder with a burst from their hot torch. BRZZPT. The connect...
I mean, I’m hardly the first person to notice something fundamentally uncanny at the intersection of Sunset and Gower, the Gower Gulch strip mall or Denny’s there. To the spot where the actual ra...

No, the BEST way to keep Tobey Maguire in the Spider-Man films would be to film a sequel called THE SPIDER HOUSE RULES. You know you wanna hear Sir Michael Caine say “Goodnight, you princes of ...

If you want to study accents, you’re going to have to watch a lot of people making their vowel movements. In Soviet Old Navy, performance fleeces YOU! One of the beauties of the English lan...
law and love in poetry
law is a crude cudgel wielded by enforcers by desperate beggars at the behest of rich cowards for a half of a crumb off the top of some scion’s engorgement unearned inheritance ...

If anyone ever invents an infallible path to happiness and starts educating people about it, all I ask is, please call it “glad school”. A weird Ghostbusters / Little Shop of Horrors crossove...
“So, if Mitzi was attracted to you but you’re not attracted to humans, why didn’t she ever, uh,” I tried to be delicate but some things can’t be put delicately, “fix that with her magics.” “What ...

If the CEO of the Bedazzler corporation was convicted of siphoning off funds for himself, the headlines would be so fun. The Fox News candy fetish is bordering on neccophilia. Whenever I re...
a bar by another other name would taste as sweet in poetry
you know how the first time someone sees a Baby Ruth bar they assume it must be named after baseball star Babe Ruth then someone speaks up and says “well actually it’s named afte...

If I’m around to eulogize Western Civilization, I want to solemnly intone “when pizza was on a bagel, truly, you could have had pizza anytime” at the funeral. A story about a support group fo...

I bet it’s weird going undercover for a sting posing as a stripper who starts out dressed as a cop. The only thing worse would be going undercover as a club DJ, that moment when you realize you...

When Skywalker drank the blue milk straight from the space walrus, what was the temperature? …luke warm? If you eat too many poffertjes, you get clogged arteries but, like, not with cholester...
