I Reviewed the F-Cup Cookie on InThePowderRoom

f cup cookie review

Once in a while I make a good life decision. Recently, I worked out an exclusive content agreement with beloved humor site InThePowderRoom. This means I write fresh stuff for them every month.

My deadline for this month’s article is Thursday. I’m nowhere near finished. It’s a funny idea but I need to cram in a few more jokes before submitting it to the head editor, Sarah. She and I go way back and the last thing either one of us wants is for her to have to tell me the piece sucks and to rewrite. READ MORE

100k Twitter Followers and Caffeine Addiction

I crossed over 100k Twitter followers today.

Yes, it’s a not-so-subtle brag. But, screw it.  I’m taking a victory lap.

The victory lap equates to a night of eating pizza until passout.

Before the carbs and fat sink my consciousness I’m going to attempt to eek out this post. READ MORE

I Just Responded to 200 Blog Comments

Yes, these will do.

The last four hours have been a blur.

In my effort to show appreciation for everyone that comments, I have committed to responding to each in 2014. The process is a lot of fun and often what you write is funnier and more poignant than what’s in my post. I started tonight by responding to fresh comments from the past few days. Then I went back in time. READ MORE

I Sometimes Publish Crap – A Confession

Hey, at least when I publish crap, it's free!

Years ago I used to bother celebrities on Twitter and write about the interactions.

I called it CelebTweets. After a few posts went live a television producer contacted me with an idea. If I wrote fifty more of these she could pitch it to publishers and get a book made. READ MORE

A Dangerous Tweet

My first funny Tweet.

I sent out a dangerous tweet.

It read, “I will write an entire blog post about whatever the first person to respond wants.” The first reply was a total misfire –  @amoldkevin  said, “me.” While I appreciate his tenacity, I can’t write about someone I don’t know. He graciously passed the torch to @brendasarg  who asked, “How about how to get your blog out there without spamming the shit out of everyone? Upping readership?” READ MORE

My Daily Life Is Boring Except For All These Awesome Asides

You were a very important part of my day, old dried friend.

I spend every day with you – your daily life is boring!

This is what my co-worker said tonight as I was driving him home. He’s not a jerk, I promise. We were talking about my blog and he asked how it was going. I told him that this month I’m committed to writing a post every day. He was curious how I find content since I have such a normal, not-hilarious job. READ MORE

My Old App Developer Sucks Little Monkey Balls

In my mind this is what he wears.

I’ll get to the developer in a moment.

I’ve never had huge aspirations for this blog. I still don’t. Here at the blog conference in Las Vegas there are a lot of speakers that talk about monetizing your readers and how to make a career out of your passion. I’ve been around long enough to know that can be a very difficult goal to attain. It’s not my goal. READ MORE

I’m Going to Impress You With a Big Word

I always wanted to write a piece where I used the word “precipice.”

Just wanted to say that. Great opener, yes?

Let’s move on.

We all need a council of people that will tell us the truth even when it hurts. If you don’t have such a group, you may want to build that into your life. READ MORE
