If I'd have eaten a pile of feces and vomited on the back deck, I'd be thinking about nothing other than that the whole day, but Miss Paisley didn't l...

It doesn't reference being covered, and there's no reference to it being a she. It might be a Chinese mistranslation, that is supposed to say, "Gauran...

If you look closer, does it say this: "Fortunate to have you girl I'm so glad you're in my world Just as sure as the sky is blue I bless the day that ...

It's all a matter of conflict resolution. We appeal to reason, we draw straws, we file lawsuits, we throw eggs at their house, we throw a punch, we fi...

I spent about an hour chatting online with Alex at Amex about trying to add my wife to the joint checking account that I just set up. He's escalated i...

I'm thinking my cat would love an isolette.

The proper way to make those are to make smashburgers. You get an iron press and put parchment paper on top of the meat and lean hard into the burger,...

I wrote these new lyrics to Walking in a Winter Wonderland. When you read them, sing it to the tune in your head to get the full effect. Feel free to ...

I suppose if you see it through the lens that the effort is at converting the population as opposed to opening it to other norms, then i guess the arg...

I don't follow this. How can hyper-individualism be collectivist? Feels like a McCarthyist response, where all that is objectionable in the world must...

Not sure if this is sarcastic, as if to imply everyone thinks they know right from wrong, yet no one does.. Are you arguing for a subjectivism, or jus...

People use pseudonyms to hide their identity. I've seen it before. Like now.

What do you call yourself?

My New Year's resolution will be to lament the lack of unifying art, where we used to share in watching the same films, TV shows, books, and whatever ...

You call yourself NOS4A2 for example.

I generally agree with the observation that modern society's embracing of non-traditional values has led to general alienation and lack of direction. ...

For improvement, some people need a kick in the pants, some a pat on the back, and some to be left alone. The tough love approach is the most prevalen...

But that's just a personal preference, not a hallmark of good writing. Postmodernism relies upon an unreliable narrator, which may be the result of in...

You stumbled upon the ancient Seagivers, a mysterious tribe from the north country that produces all the fish the world over. It is said that if you c...

We would string together a series of extension cords from the motel and attach an electric streamer that we'd swim out past the breakers and steam fro...

Neither did I. I provided the outcome of a hypothetical situation and then I commented on your ability to perform in that hypothetical situation, whic...

To complete that book in a year, you would need to read 0.44 pages per day. No way you read that fast.
December 27, 2024 at 18:44
That is a total of 11,720 pages, which would be 32.1 pages per day if all read in one year. I dumped that into ChatGPT and asked it. I didn't actually...

Next time, let's have a non-fiction writing contest. I'm going to write about the Kosmoceratops, a dinasaur that doesn't get enough press.
December 27, 2024 at 15:53
I read like zero fiction in real life, and I find it hard to sort through short stories. When I write fiction (possible spoiler alert), I have trouble...

I can hang up some fliers for the next competition at the Chipotle's near my house.

I don't fully understand the oyster cracker. I think they're used to thicken soup, but you never eat them as a stand alone. I only eat oysters on salt...

My mom would boil clams when we ran out of chewing gum.

I use my phone flashlight to see the menu when the restaurant fails to provide adequate lighting. It draws smiles from others, but not me. It's not fu...

Martha was my cellmate in Alcatraz. We'd sneak away and gather live cockles and mussels in the bay that she'd hawk for cigarettes. She told me more ab...

My favorite is the Manhattan Clam Chowder, the good kind, without the bullshit cream in it.

I had Vietnamese food a couple of days ago. They had this jello dessert that tasted like maybe it had condensed milk and cinnamon in it. I wasn't a fa...

For those looking to do the opposite, Word now has a feature that converts audio to text. Maybe I'll just dictate in my next story, leaving it as is, ...
December 19, 2024 at 17:00
There are text to audio converters you can download. Maybe you can choose a sexy, sultry voice to listen to. I think I'll listen to an incomprehensibl...

Aliens are huge thrift store shoppers. They like a good deal and love knick knacks. The clutter in their space ships looks like a grandma's house.

I think my reasons set out to 180 directly above makes more sense, but I'm interested in why you think an atheist would need there to be UFOs to impar...

UFOs and bigfoot could exist under our current concept of physics and scientific reality. Gods and angels, not so much. Many theists subscribe to Crea...
