Sure doesn't say much for the rest of his so-called humor pieces. Share pandered:

Those last bits about this or that topic probably not harboring anything too weird...hilarious. And even though the reader knows what's gonna happen, it's still funny anyway. Thanks too for that post about the Minions. Sweet to think how just about anything can light up the connection between people in a cafe. Oh yeah, the pedestal piece...thought provoking. You're definitely on a roll. Interesting how the full moon brings out different stuff in different posters ha ha. Ah woooooooooooooooooooo! )That's supposed to be a wolf howling(-: The above is my invention to combine parentheses and smiley face.

Doesn't actually lend itself to cafe terrace writing, unless you find one with good space heaters, and free Wifi. I did. Be warned. :-) The people passing by are bundled up, except for the occasional women who use it as an occasion to wear their heels and black tights, which do wonders to warm up the whole environment. Bless them for their compassion. :-) The people in this particular cafe are more of the New York Sunday Morning mindset, reading their newspapers or magazines and looking as if they suffer from sleep inertia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_inertia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_inertia ). Me, I never seem to have to worry about that, because I wake up naturally at about the same time every morning, never needing an alarm, and never suffering from that period of grogginess and reduced mental alertness that many people do. This tends to mean that I can easily write in the mornings, the words just flowing freely as ideas come to me. It does *not* mean that these ideas are in any way meaningful to anyone but myself, but that's why I inserted the warning. :-) Guess I'll just rap about some of the weird things I find on the Internet as I sit here. The first article I stumble upon is an article called Benedict Cumberbatch Is A Gay Erotic God In China (http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2013/11/15/erotic_benedict_cumberbatch_fanfiction_in_china http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2013/11/15/erotic_benedict_cumberbatch_fanfiction_in_china ), which confirms my suspicion that the Chinese are even weirder than the Japanese and the Americans. The incredible number of Japanese who find girls in school uniforms erotic is weird, and the American fascination for "Twilight" vampires (even turning them into best-selling housewife porn) is even weirder. But the Chinese writing gay Sherlock Holmes porn is just too weird, even for me. Maybe I'll try to read about something safer, like fashion. Women's fashion can get weird, but men's fashion is usually safely boring. Uh oh.

How 'bout cars. There can't be anything weird about cars, right? It's not as if the manufacturers can remotely disable them if you don't make your monthly payments on them, right? Uh oh. (http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/11/16/french-automaker-renault-can-cut-off-your-car-battery-if-you-dont-make-payments-on-time/ http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/11/16/french-automaker-renault-can-cut-off-your-car-battery-if-you-dont-make-payments-on-time/ ) All of this is just on one website. Uh oh...here's China again. (http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2013/11/14/that_time_a_buddhist_nun_walked_into_beijings_futuristic_sex_shop http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2013/11/14/that_time_a_buddhist_nun_walked_into_beijings_futuristic_sex_shop ) How 'bout science. That's safe, right? Uh oh..."Clam-gate." (http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2013/11/131116-oldest-clam-dead-ming-science-ocean-507/ http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2013/11/131116-oldest-clam-dead-ming-science-ocean-507/ ) Le monde est fou, fou, fou. I think I'll go back to Fairfield Life, where people talk about the spiritual teachers they gave all their power to and allowed to control their lives and dominate their thoughts. Sure glad they're past all that now. :-)
