Two toes having accidentally been shoved up the nose of a bad guy ripping his nose off his face.

Maybe that’s how karate started; in a very unintentional way.

Waiting outside of a movie theater’s empty, single-exit auditorium feels safer than being the first to wait (and wait alone) inside that auditorium.

Lurknife talks to Gildy (leading to something that might sound silly)

A greasy flood of expectations almost took a stranger’s life. That stranger became Gildy’s trainer, a sharp voice of reason called Lurknife. “Do you remember your training? Should I activate fight mode?” (Near-dead) Gildy screamed: “DO IT!” causing Wharlpoon to … Continue reading

Sandcastle did not have moat until its builder pointed to the ocean

“I’M NOT BOSSY; I JUST HAVE GOOD IDEAS,” said the five-year-old to her mother.

The five-year-oldĀ declared this loudly, and veryĀ seriously and matter-of-fact. I was struck by her logic and ego, so thenĀ I and the mother laughed. And her daughterĀ kept on going about like sheĀ said nothing wrong. There’s validity in her argument, so we just … Continue reading

One of the better things about a long waiting line is its ability to remind people of the option to do it yourself

(or not having to be at the mercy of something else). I would love to see a waiting line that is weirdly long enough to be in the cursive shape of “DIY”. Ironic fun.

A tiara that’s on top of a table could mean that an evil wizard turned the princess into a table

(especially after watching animated Disney movies).
