My online friends dared me to make memes about them. I think these are pretty inspired for the speedy turnaround time …
Oh, HOW might I go about monetizing my brilliance?

Awesome horror author Wednesday Lee Friday:

I wonder if I can convert my daylight savings to a daylight checking account.

“The bed is white and silent, and much life can hide beneath its blankets …”

(No, it did not snow here in Roanoke. But it snowed in a lot of my friends’ burbs, and I cannot resist the pun.)
Enjoy it and stay safe!!

I penned this little tale about ravenous zombie children a decade ago — and the really nice people over at Tales of the Zombie War published it. Since so many of you guys are being so cool about getting into the Halloween spirit, I thought I’d contribute what I could. 🙂
The Tales of the Zombie War website appears to be going through some minor formatting issues with its text. (As someone who writes this informal blog, I can vouch for how easily that can happen.) But I think that the story is still easy to read.
Enjoy “The Siege of Fort Buzzard.” And aim for the head!

I keep politely asking people about their weekend.
It is Thursday and I am an imbecile.
Here’s a weird bit of pop culture — a 1983 ad for General Mills Monster Cereals. I might never have actually had Boo Berry — and I remember eating Franken Berry only once or twice? But Count Chocula was a sugary morning delicacy in my household growing up.
It frequently had the best toy surprises waiting at the bottom of the box too. (Do cereals still have those?) I was utterly thrilled that one summer when I got my hands on the the Monster Cereals ink stamps — though, if memory serves, I actually had to save some proofs-of-purchase or something and send away for them in the mail.
Anyway, thanks to the SaturdayMorningFever Youtube channel for this upload.
And if weird Monster Cereals trivia is your thing, then you ought to read up on Quentin Tarantino’s reverence for Fruit Brute.
A pal of mine is contemplating this very prank.
And now so am I. (You can get some pretty interesting ideas from Facebook.) I even know exactly which college friend I’d like to spook.
Suppose a succession of different disconcerted people handed this off to someone else. If you could somehow track the doll’s progress, it would be an interesting social experiment.
Hey … suppose the doll actually took on a supernatural life of its own — after being infused with the fears of the people who’d handled it during the inception of an innocent prank? You’d have a whole life-imitates-art thing going on. Or unlife.
What a story idea! One of you guys should run with that.
