My Lists of Synonyms. Today It's Poop The other day. Or week. Or month. Hell, time has no meaning to me anymore. I don't leave the house. Someone told me it's August. Sure why not? Anyway, I posted my list of synonyms for vomit. I keep lists of synonyms, mostly for things like sex organs, prostitutes, the act of having sex, poop, etc. You get the idea. Sometimes saying, "I have to poop" works in a script. But I like [...]
My Lists of Synonyms. Today It's Vomit. Some people collect stamps. I collect lists of synonyms. I was working on a script and one of the characters had to say that he was going to throw up. But I thought saying, "I'm going to throw up" didn't fit the character. I needed him to say it another way. Puke, barf, and vomit immediately came to mind but none of them worked for the character. Thesaurus.com helped but I still wanted [...]
I Live For Birthday Freebies There are very few things I like more than getting free stuff. And your birthday is the best time to get a lot of free stuff. It only takes a few minutes to sign up for rewards clubs that will send you birthday freebies. Most are good for your birthday month. Some for a month after your birthday. And some, thank you Jersey Mike's, are good all year. Here's my giant list of places that [...]
Day 2 of My Coronavirus Diary March 17. I've already used 23 rolls of toilet paper. I now regret acting out scenes from The Mummy. I read that a woman bought a gun after seeing all the "chaos at her local Costco, with long lines and people stockpiling goods." Great. That's what we need. We need to be in a real life dystopian action horror film. Oh yes, please, open fire when someone takes the last roasted chicken. What is [...]
My Coronavirus Diary - Day 1 March 16. Lockdown. Everything is closed. Restaurants, stores, schools. "Keep six feet away from people" has been replaced with "don't leave your homes!" Don't go outside! The zombies will get you! Jesus, Mary, and Josephine Baker I'm stressed. I work from home. Now my wife works from home. My daughter is home, "distance learning" with her school. My dogs are unemployed and all they do is lie around all day. Lazy bastards. I'm a [...]

Valentines Day Cards 2015 It's always hard for me to find a good Valentines Day card. I hate the sappy, lace-covered cards with some soppy message written in a romance novel font. And a lot of the "humorous" cards don't live up to the humorous part. What's a pseudo-romantic-odd-sense-of-humor guy to do? Cue the band. These cards are perfect. Historical Cards That Say I Love You For those of you who love history and dictators, these are for you. Happy Valentines Day. [...]
Watch the Sinking of the Titanic Are you just sitting around saying to yourself, "Gee, I really wish I could watch the Titanic sinking in real time?" Then I have some awesome news for you.

The company behind Titanic: Honor and Glory has just released a 2:40 hour video of the Titanic sinking. It's mesmerizing. Don't skip to the end. [...]
The one thing I like more than food is free food and that makes this week a good one. Free Yogurtland To celebrate National Frozen Yogurt Day (I don't know why we kids have school that day.

Free Bagel and Shmear Not to be outdone by frozen yogurt, Tuesday is National Bagel Day. On Tuesday February [...]
