At a secluded mountaintop convent, I would be the third nun to go insane.

Once again they've ignored my nominee for Sexiest Man Alive. In my defense, he hasn't been dead that long.

He died doing what he loved: slowly leaching RoundUp back into the groundwater.

It's that time of the year when my thoughts are dominated by the image of Peter Lorre devouring an infant-sized soft pretzel.

It's tragic boron is a metal and not the perfect compound insult for someone who is simultaneously uninteresting and stupid.

i always compliment my friend’s achievements by saying ‘you’re going large’ or ‘congrats. extra large, bro’ which is basically a play on the word large. sometimes i’ll say, “wow, that’s largetime, bro,” in where i simply smash together the words large & time to create a new word.

RIP Walter Koenig. He was the first celebrity I ever met, at a sci-fi convention in 1976. I asked to take his picture and he said “Sure” with such a (relatable) lack of enthusiasm that it gave me a lifelong aversion to approaching celebrities. (Exception for Tom Atkins.)

“I’m in here! Waiting for you…” a voice called from the kitchen. I follow a tapping that’s coming from the fridge. “I know you’re out there.” It said. I open the door slowing. A wheel of cheese greets me, knife in hand. My time has finally come.
