Have we whitewashed Michael Jackson?  

2 days ago by Mark Johnson

How should we remember this man? Michael Jackson died. The worst part about this, for me, is that one of my all-time favorite internet jokes no longer even makes sense (it starts out, "Michael Jackson died" and relies on the singer still being alive to be funny). The second worse part is definitely ...

The Fattest Man/Woman in the World  

4 days ago by Quick Weight Loss

Whenever I talk about extremes, the biggest, smallest, fattest, thinnest, fastest, slowest, highest, deepest..etc, I often find myself referring to the Guinness Book of Records. I have never tried to access their website until today. There is one feature of Firefox that I love very much. I don’t alw ...

Post-irony: so uncool, it's cool  

8 days ago by Mark Johnson

This piano was mostly pink, with patches of flame decal, a painting of a sunset, and a heart with wings — it was downri ...

Punctuation Anyone?  

22 days ago by johnfwills

Here we go again. (Punctuation Anyone?) To punctuate, or not to punctuate; that is the question. Or should it be; question? When in doubt, leave it out? How about? Read it the way I wrote it. Catch all those little inflections in my voice. Pause when I pause, ramble when I ramble. Short pause, long ...

I Hate Semicolons!  

23 days ago by Blaize Clement

Punctuation marks are to writers what knives are to chefs. The more experienced the chef, the fewer the knives. It’s the same for fiction writers. We need periods for emphasis, commas to keep meanings clear, and dashes to allow for informative or humorous asides to the reader. We need quotation mark ...

Iowa wedding blues  

29 days ago by Mark Johnson

This last weekend I went to Iowa — don't worry, the story gets more interesting. It was my friend's wedding, as I’m of the age where all of my early-20s friends are starting to get married. I’m underemployed enough to have the kind of free time necessary to attend. Plus, this was the first one of th ...

Being run over is for the birds  

43 days ago by Mark Johnson

Hopefully not the kind of bird Mark hit. The other day, I accidentally crushed a bird with my car. I was driving off exit 116 heading towards Michigan when I noticed the little bastard pecking at something shiny lying in the middle of my lane; it might have been broken glass. The road was busy and t ...
