  • My mom would put on some thick clothes, and then put on a set of overalls, and flannel shirt that were 10 sizes too big OVER her clothes. And in between the two she’d stuff the overalls and flannel shirt with hay. Then she’d wear this burlap facemask over her head to look even more like a scarecrow.

    Then she’d sit on the porch, with the bowl of candy on table next to her. They would have to walk past my mom to get to the bowl. She would sit perfectly still.

    My sisters would tell trick or treaters to just take 1 candy from the bowl, or bad things would happen.

    If a kid took just 1 candy? Nothing happened. If a kid got greedy? She’d jump out of her chair, grab the kid, and lift him up by the wrists while going BLLLAAAHHHRRGGHGHGHGH!!! WHY’D YOU TAKE MORE CANDY???

    SOOOOOOOOOOO many kids would cry. A few peed themselves. Lots of parents even screamed, which I’m sure added to the horror to the kids that even THEIR mom was screaming afraid.

    But I bet they never took more than 1 candy.


  • This is one of the reasons I don’t like dogs who lick people. I’m fine with your dog until he starts trying to lick me.

    I also don’t like when your laying down, and the cat walks on your chest, just to block your view of the tv, and sticks it’s butthole in your face. You’re all like “eeewwww, no cat butt!!!” But the cat is like “meow!”. You have to tell them “Look, we’ve been over this. I don’t speak meow. You need to learn more words. Like if I pull a can of f-o-o-d out, you go nuts. And I have to spell that word, because I’m not trying to excite you, and then disappoint you. Because I’m NOT an asshole, and am being empathetic to YOUR feelings. Unlike you.”

    And she says “Meow”.

    And I say “I still don’t get the nuances of meow language. It can’t be one word that means everything. This isn’t Hawaii.”

    And she says “Meow.”

    It’s a losing battle trying to teach cats to speak english when they lack vocal cords. But maybe it’s a good thing they can’t speak. They could be like carrots. Always screaming how much pain they’re in, and how they have a baby carrot at home. All just because I’m trying to make a salad.

    Now…cucumbers? They scare me. They’re practically giddy to be chopped up. Real masochists.

    But at least they’re not smug, like George Clooney. The smug bastard!





  • Everytime I think I’m a little “out there”, I remember THIS dork exists, which frees up my mind to do other things.

    Like put on a mushroomhead XX logo painted jason mask, a diana ross wig, and flannel shirt so I could go to a Fiona Apple concert, mostly against my will, get up to the front of the stage and start waving my hand enthusiastically and yell “HI HIPPIE LADY!!! HELLO!!! HELLO HIPPIE LADY!!! HIIIIIII!!!” as her bassist had to walk off stage from laughing too much, Fiona Apple looking annoyed, and 2000 people all glaring daggers at me. Luckily the crowd was 100% females besides me. So no violence towards my antics actually took place.

    Times are crazy. Especially when I remember that story is like 20 years old.









  • Really? You never used kung-fu to disarm swat teams, killing dozens with their own guns, while never taking damage yourself? You never sped through your local streets as tanks shot mortors at your toyota geo?

    You’re telling me your wife never saved you with rockets fired from a helicopter in a high speed highway chase?

    Yeah…you didn’t read a single sentence of the comment you replied to, did you? Aw hell. What makes me think you’ll read THIS far into the message??? Tiktok is just what this generation has been needing. An entire generation of kids who don’t waste their time reading!
