How many C...There are tears coming out of my eyes!<br /><br />How many Cool Ranch Doritos do you eat? I expected an answer and didn't get it.<br /><br />Man, I had so many comments, but I think I lost them all to the TEARS IN MY EYES!<br /><br />BUT!<br />You know, I have so many ideas; I mean, I have folders of them. I can't keep up with them all and some of them don't deserve to live their lives in a folder hoping hoping hoping like that doggy in the window that I will one day choose it to turn into something more real than just an idea in a folder. So, you know, if I leave an idea lying around, feel free to use it. Kind of like loose change in a couch.<br /><br />I think I mixed up a lot of metaphors in that last paragraph and I didn't even use the one about the kid in the orphanage who just wants a family for Christmas. Or his front teeth. I always get those confused.<br /><br />Oh! I've read entire Steinbeck novels. I like Steinbeck. The only I didn't finish was the one he died without finishing.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7844784446912062670.post-44999504048322180912014-01-14T07:11:26.038-08:002014-01-14T07:11:26.038-08:00PT, yours is the least challenging bucket list ent...PT, yours is the least challenging bucket list entry I've seen since Dagwood put "video poker" on his.Brianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01616494058636881575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7844784446912062670.post-47146343520394789222014-01-14T07:10:58.137-08:002014-01-14T07:10:58.137-08:00From what I gather, Rusty, you get fish tacos and ...From what I gather, Rusty, you get fish tacos and pineapples from underwater?<br /><br />Gross.<br /><br />But if I ever actually make any money writing, I will immediately promise to send you some and then move to a small island in the South Pacific where I can sit in a hammock and read books to my heart's content, safe from the extraterritorial jurisdiction of America's civil courts, laughing, laughing, laughing until one day, a hurricane washes over the island and I and all my belongings disappear forever.<br /><br />When the investigators get there, they'll discover that and assume I was washed out to sea and drowned.<br /><br />Rusty will give my eulogy at the funeral held in absentia:<br /><br />"He sleeps with the fish tacos and pineapples now," before someone explains to him that's not where those things come from.Brianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01616494058636881575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7844784446912062670.post-82173459571354610862014-01-14T05:53:21.666-08:002014-01-14T05:53:21.666-08:00I've never had a fish taco but it's on my ...I've never had a fish taco but it's on my bucket list.PT Dillowayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09394481476862013009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7844784446912062670.post-77123765067256686732014-01-14T05:29:11.465-08:002014-01-14T05:29:11.465-08:00I learned a lot today.

Like, for example, that my post went up less than half an hour after yours did, and also, that my carefully photoshopped fish taco what I worked on so hard didn't make an appearance here. <br /><br />Also, I think that I may have the single longest post in the short history of this blog. I haven't actually counted, but I'd assumed that would be a record you would hold, or maybe Andrew. But I'm pretty sure it's me now. <br /><br />Also, being a muse is a lot of work. I do deserve fair and reasonable compensation. I mean, those fish tacos and pineapple things, they don't just come to you you know, I have to pry those ideas straight from them void, they don't come willingly. It's like ish-fishing for Great Whites: They're not many of them, but if you do land one, it's not fun pulling out of the water.Rusty Carlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09887821877521181811noreply@blogger.com
