Why is Rice Krispies the only breakfast cereal with its own unique sound? It came out decades ago. We should have dozens of noisy cereals by now! Just imagine waking up to a big bowl of Wheat Wailers! Or Honey Nut Hullabaloos! Or how about some Marshmallow Moans?

I wrote a sequel to my book The Screaming Void, and I’m writing another sequel in the series. It’s great getting to explore other characters and expand the world building, but it’s frustrating to have ideas you can’t use because they would contradict previous books.

In zombie apocalypse movies, the survivors will run out of food and medicine, but the female characters will still have plenty of lipstick and eyeliner. How does that work? Did they find the ruins of an Ulta somewhere? Did one of the zombies work for Mary Kay?

Greg stared at the eye chart and sighed. His vision was definitely getting worse. Getting old sucked. “Read line three,” the doctor said. “Z… A… R… Omega… N… Hey, wait a minute! Are you trying to get me to spell out my true name so I’ll be forced to return to the #chaos dimension?” #vss365 1/2

If cakes went to a party, carrot cake would be the "mom friend" of the group. Carrot cake would stop cheesecake from hitting on random guys, remind rum cake to drink water so he doesn't get a hangover, and reassure fruitcake when she gets depressed and says nobody likes her.

Friend: This musical is so unrealistic. People don't burst into song for no reason. My wife returning with food: 🎵You see a faded sign at the side of the road that says fifteen bites of a cheese snack! Cheese snack, yeah yeah! I'm heading down the Asiago highway, looking for a cheese getaway!🎵

Back in college, I nearly failed my folklore class. Due to a typo in the syllabus, I spent three weeks writing a paper on nose mythology.

“The earliest terminators were easy to spot,” Kyle said. “They didn’t have voice chips. They had to load cassettes in their chests like homicidal Teddy Ruxpins.” “How did you stop them?” Sara asked “If you got close enough, you could swap in an Enya tape. Took the fight right out of them.”

“Wow, we have enough money to buy a house and retire! For my third wish, I wish no one else would ever get a wish. This genie stuff just makes people lazy.” — If my parents found a magic lamp

A page came to Sir Eric with a question. “With dragons constantly stealing princesses, how does the kingdom never run out?” “Activist witches keep the species from going extinct,” the knight said. “Activist… witches?” “You know, flying brooms, cursed #fruit? Don’t interrupt!” #vss365 1/3

I’m now just 34 sales away from 100!! This story’s been out a year and I’d love to finally hit this milestone! 🥰 If you like epic fantasy novellas with magic and romance, maybe check it out! I would really love to get this book into more hands 🫶 [ #booksky ]

Me: Get in the kitchen and make me a sandwich. Dog: ?? Me: No? Nothing? I don't get it. You learned "sit" in like ten minutes.

It’s fun to ask your friends “Would you do this crazy thing for ten million dollars?” But the smaller the amount of money, the less fun the game gets. You don’t even want to know how Kyle paid for that energy drink. Just trust me.

Business idea: A service that texts you entire novels, one message at a time. To make sure you’re still reading, you have to reply to every text. It’s called “And Then What Happened?”

Work has been a lot more fun ever since I downloaded that Teams add-on that lets you taze people.

You fall in love with someone who always wears sunglasses. When you finally get them to take them off, they have googly eyes. Suddenly you realize you've been dating a sock puppet. You can't be together. Your love is forbidden.

post your worst draft

Working on another anti-AI article. It’ll probably make Google drop my rankings even lower. Oh well. Some things need to be said, even if you end up just talking to yourself.

Angel: Okay, that's red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple… We’re done creating the colors! God: Actually, make some more that only shrimp can see.

When my Grandpa got sick, the doctor said he needed a new skeleton. Dad wanted to take him home and DIY it, but human bones #tend to be pretty expensive. I got some cheap rubber bones from the pet store. It seemed like a good idea at first, but after that, Grandpa got chased by dogs a lot. #vss365

Earth only has one moon. You know how many Jupiter has? Seventy-nine! This embarrassment must end! Elect me and I will instruct NASA to begin the construction of additional moo... What? Of course the school board is in charge of NASA! Who else would it be? Shut up, Kevin.

I made chili for lunch, and when I brought my wife her bowl, as a joke, I gave her chopsticks with it. Instead of asking for a spoon, she said "Challenge accepted!" and somehow managed to eat the whole bowl that way.
