How to Manipulate People into Throwing You a Party

34

You deserve recognition! You deserve to be celebrated! But when was the last time someone threw you a party?

Thank you for your outstanding submissions.

This Town Ain’t Big Enough for the Both of Us The grizzled cowboy ambled out through the saloon doors, squinting against the high noon sun as he tipped his chin to acknowledge the square-jawed lawman framed in the center of the dusty street. They sized each other up as the cowboy strode to the center […]

How the Song Friday Won Me Over

March 25, 2011

39

I don’t care what people say–I like the song Friday by Rebecca Black. If you haven’t heard of Friday, you’re missing a viral sensation celebrated for its poor production values, robotic vocals, and travelogue lyrics that could have been lifted from court transcripts recording a witness’ schedule on the day of a murder: ‘I ate […]

I saw this picture of Hillary Clinton but didn’t immediately see any headline attached.  What is she doing?  Who or what is she looking at?  Is she about to speak or has she just spoken?  Is she possibly thinking about me and those love letters I wrote her? I decided not to look for the […]
