sometimes writer of words.
occasional reader of words.

As far as I know, these are two separate events.

Today is the thirteenth anniversary of the mmmmmmm first attempt at stand-up. Zero doesn’t multiply into anything. The pay rate is the same.

The secret of most writers: “Write what you know.”

The apparent secret of major publishers & gatekeepers:
“Rite what you ‘no.’”

My social media is clogged up with people posting “hot takes” and “unpopular opinions.” Maybe I’m old-fashioned, but I don’t think it’s necessary to put a label on things if you’re just going to be a pessimist.

Just realized the song “The Joker” predates Star Wars by four years.
The very LEAST George Lucas could’ve done is give Steve Miller Band an “additional story by” credit for coming up with the idea of a “space cowboy.”

Earthworms, I presume. Or is that too on the nose?

I only now just realized that Porky Pig is trying to say, “The end,” but because of his stutter he spits out, “Th-th-that’s all, folks!” instead.

What’s the nationality or ethinc background of a last name like “SquarePants?”

Each of the United States have their shapes for a reason, this I know. What I don’t know is why Connecticut hasn’t surgically removed its vestigial tail.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

“Li’l ol’ lady” is in the “whoooo” of being a yodeler.

But he isn’t sure if Mussolini comes with the Olive Garden® promise of “Unlimited Breadsticks.”
He wants to be Mussolini so bad he can taste it

I think I’m done becoming friends with more people named “Lauren.” It has just gotten exhausting.

“I remember when SNL was funny.”

In more ways than one, the International House of Pancakes (IHOP) has commonalites with The U.N.
Because that place is U.N.healthy!

Just remember, this is the kind of comedy I left Twitter for.

I should’ve saved this joke for the end of the night. But then again, maybe I should’ve saved all these jokes to myself and not inflict this cruel & unusual punishment on others. #Oscars
“Anora?” No… “THE nora.” #Oscars

A Gen Z viewer somewhere just asked why the people from the mayonnaise commercial are presenting such a big award. #Oscars

Folks on social media are complaining the “In Memoriam” song choice was “depressing.”
Nothing is stopping you from muting your TV and booting up your Apple Music to Lesley Gore’s “Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows.” #Oscars

This night has reminded me: thank goodness Hilary Clinton didn’t run in the 2024 election, or we might’ve gotten a campaign speech with the line, “What you should be DOIN’ is your PART TO go to the polls!” #Oscars
