Hot Off the Presses (But Will Cool in the Mail - Don't Worry).

Hey all.

Just FYI, I have just finished a little (70 page) compilation of some of my writing just to tide over my public as they await my next magnum opus.  (Anybody remember the "fan base" from "Flight of the Choncords"?  My public is a little like that.)  It's called The Tiny Confinements Miscellany and some of it is funny, or supposed to be.

The book should soon be available as an ebook on Amazon, where you will be able to check out sample pages, borrow for free etc. (though it will be priced in the range of a chocolate bar once the e-version is ready so you don't have to start saving now).  In the meantime, for those who simply must have the paperback, it's out there right now if you'd like one.

Here's the link to the one place where you can order it right away if you simply can't wait.

I heart you all.

I Know More Than a Few Candidates for This Place

OK, Point Up and LOOK MODERN

I wonder if any of these models saved the helmets (or the boots and dresses or white sun/moon? glasses)?  Terrible to think someone probably just threw them away eventually, once the refrigerator was launched.

You Don't Have to Tweet, But it Helps

I am supposed to be writing something substantial but instead I am spending my paltry strength on Twitter.

Here's my output so far tonight.

I thought of a few more! (I sense I am boring you, but when have I let that stop me?)

#unpopularthemerestaurants "Quaker Fusion", "Loose Stool Lunch Counter".

#unpopularthemerestaurants "House of Math"

Add your own fun ideas below or on Twitter!  Also, I have this.

Sorry, but if an event name includes "circle" or "slam," I'm out.

So, no slams or circles for me this weekend.  Maybe a little Mother's Day hooting and hollering, though.  Well.  Not that either.  (I neither hoot, nor holler - since I live in the north, I yell, but not this weekend since it's Mother's Day.)  Bon weekend tout le monde.  Happy Mother's Day to all those who are mothers, or have one, or who know one.

XOXOXOXO

PS

I was also a little proud of this one:

Drinking game for book nerds: go thru back issues of NY Review of Books & take a shot for every article by or mention of @JoyceCarolOates.

And while no one else liked it, I stand behind this one too (an exclusive for Game of Thrones fans).

#GameOfThrones It could be a headline... "NY Thruway Travel Plaza Manager in Hot Water for Ban on Patrons from North of the Wall."
