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

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.
