Is creative writing not a fun, relaxing activity on holiday?

I know Dick Van Dyke's grandson. Good dude. If the list were in order, Mick Jagger & Keith Richards would be at the top...

Here's some recent classical: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7qeXYSKfxs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aApMKlzwvM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...

Classic. This is one of my favorites. The title track is good, but the B-sides are my favorites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHCZ7Se8IJw

I gave in to my lower nature and bought a bag of Goldfish crackers today, which I had been thinking about doing for awhile. I was psyched to try them ...

Just to clarify, everyone can also submit any type of poem or short story to the appropriate person for a more typical "contest" situation. Feel free ...

Then find one. It's not my fooking fault. Vishnu.

I feel like getting rabies would be an adventure. It would certainly make a damn good story.

C-

If you need to stress it, you know you're grasping at straws. Also "brekky" is not a recognized term for breakfast.

What about my new rap mixtape?

So often throw-together meals are the best. Having meal prepped salads for the next few days, I came to the alarming conclusion that I didn't need to ...

But yes, to continue the extremely cliquish inside joke that only an elite few can hope to ever understand, it appears I have prophetic tendencies, @"...

It's just a private conversation to organize this activity; it's not just Baden doing it anymore, so a group PM thread is necessary.

You bet. That’s very atypical for her; she was a jazz harpist and pianist, but at some point in the 80s she retired to live full time in an Ash Ram. D...

Never gets old. I've been listening to Alice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKUJdFsmzpQ

I get that, and agree for some. One recurring theme is a female character that's always cronically physically ill and fatalistic in attitude; it happe...

@"Jamal" To me some are, some aren't. Ubik is fun, yes, but Now Wait For Last Year which I just read was pretty depressing. Addiction is a huge theme ...

Fuck!

I picked up Libra by Don DeLillo from one of those little free libraries.

:grimace: I made the usual chicken shawarma, hummus with Syrian pita, and a vaguely Mediterranean white bean salad. I followed the recipe and used cuc...

Just the usual crippling depression. :party:

That wasn’t a story. I’m done here.

Breakfast today was whatever was in the fridge, namely a Yukon Gold potato diced small, red onion, cherry tomatoes and two eggs made into a hash. Seas...

*Furiously munches popcorn*

This is the most entertained I’ve been in the shoutbox for some time, and I’m not even responsible for it.

Insert something about no true Scotsman here

My wordsmithery is so witheringly spittin' it wilts it's prey to smithereens. Those were some mixed metaphors but I did it on purpose so it works. Any...

Happy birthday. :party: Edit: aha, yes, you are quite the Cancer.

I draw the line at yodeling and never had to record it, thankfully.

Ok, back to your regularly scheduled programming. I don't know why the fuck you think pronouncing the H is a swishing sound. I'm not gargling while I ...

When I was in college, I was lucky to get a job working at the local NPR affiliate. We had a sister folk music station. For about 3 years I engineered...

Dimwhit, Last night some friends and I had a small party. We made Chicago-style hot dogs and some burgers. I made a bad ass potato salad. I'm so fucki...

As my joke was the last one, it was the most developed and complex, and thus the best.

Does it get old when people crowd your space while you're trying to have a client meeting? I imagine confidentiality can be an issue, even if riders a...

I approve.

Wait, isn't this entire website a cult? I'm confused now.

Excellent point. No one really knows what Canadian Bacon is anyway; most likely fake news.

I used internet magic to find your address, then I zoomed in all the way on google maps and read Fred's phone number you wrote on that napkin on the k...

I’m a bacon man myself but you are right that breakfast sausage works better on its own as a side. I’m not sure I know anyone who orders patties. Seem...

I only knew scrapple as a Pennsylvania Dutch thing, but google now shows me that it's eaten in other states as well. Strange. Ham with breakfast is un...

This looks troubling. Are you secretly Amish?

Here's an important question. I assume these are all available in most parts of the world, so I assume it's not specifically an American thing. Bacon,...

:grimace:

What about reheating homemade pancakes in the toaster?

I'm pretty sure Jeffery Dahmer tried that out as well.

Yeah, but still though. (My best friend growing up used to say that when we would argue. I think it started me on the downward spiral of philosophy, a...

Nobody describes the color of something by saying the color is "on" it. Nobody. I'm done here.

Also you can't combine all four of those together. It just reads awkwardly. I thought you would know that.

Now I'm even more confused. It must be the encephalitis kicking in. or the orchitis. I can't really tell anymore.
