the beginning to the worst story i've ever...
So last night, I stumbled across NPR’s All Things Considered Three-Minute Fiction contest page and in a whirlwind of insomnia, boredom, and inspiration, I decided to enter. I had less than 24 hours to bang out a 600-word short story that featured one character telling a joke and one character crying so I knew whatever I wrote would have to be based on an idea I already had (seeing as...
me: it seems unfair that the jury in this "airline fee court" commercial is comprised entirely of southwest employees.
dad: well if the defense didn't object, it's their own damn fault.

a 31-ounce cup of nonsense.
Everyone’s freaking out over Starbucks’ new Trenta-sized cup. “It’s 31 ounces! That’s almost as big as a human stomach! That’s outrageous!” There are a few points nobody seems to have even considered making:
This Trenta size is only being used for iced drinks. I don’t drink Starbucks’ beverages in any capacity but if Starbucks is like every...
re: the great wallet roundup.
First, I will ultimately defer to ‘Put This On’ on any style topic so, this is meant only to inform/toss out some advice. Secondly, the article does recommend carrying a wallet in a front pocket/pocket above the waist and that method may very well negate my statements below. Regardless, I felt the need to share my thoughts on leather wallets (as this aspect was not mentioned in the...

21 wonderful things from 2010.
The King’s Speech. I have only seen it once so I reserve the right to change my mind but I believe I could watch this movie every week and still repeatedly walk away feeling better than ever. Pretzel M&M’s. They’re so good I’ve had to ban them from my possession, excepting serious special occasions. That one note that everybody knows from Zack Hemsey’s score for...

you have the choice: you can live forever or you...
Caveats:
The powers of teleportation do not affect your lifespan. You will live as long with these powers as you would, without them.
You can never change your mind or back out of the choice.
Related to #2: you cannot ever tell anyone about this deal, regardless of which option you pick. (Should you ever tell someone, your chosen power will immediately leave you. Unless you’re telling...

am i crazy? or would this work?
One thing I’ve never quite understood about the selling of albums, books, and DVDs is that when they are released, they cost full retail price. All that hype and build-up and advertising urging people to go out and get this item and if they go out to do so, they’re rewarded with probably the highest price this item will ever bear.
It seems like it would inspire more sales inside a...

“I needed to think last night. So I galloped into a wooded glen and after...”
– Rod.
this is the ne plus ultra of claims about using...
Having just learned about it/its meaning, I’m definitely inserting the phrase “ne plus ultra” into a sentence soon. I haven’t felt this much like Frasier Crane since I went to The Fresh Market on an errand for my mom and had to ask a clerk if they had any leaves of mint.
