Mother Combs' Garden
One day early last summer, I went outside and worked in my garden, listening to the classic rock station on the radio. Busy pulling weeds and tilling the soil for new summer plants to be put in beds I was soaking up the gentle sun. The weather was beautiful that day, as I remember, and I was eager to prepare the garden for a party that weekend. I was really into the music, singing along where I knew the words, and humming where I didn’t. I didn’t hear the tiny voice behind me.

Ernest needed milk
It all started with a simple plan: Ernest needed milk. The morning was unremarkable—sunbeams splashing across the kitchen table, a tepid cup of coffee half-forgotten beside a crossword puzzle—and Ernest, feeling virtuous, decided to walk to the neighborhood grocery store. Little did he know that his ordinary errand was about to unfold into a reality-bending carnival of absurdity.

The Adventures of Ice Cream Man
Have you ever had a lick of ice cream that changed your life?--because I have. I was walking through the park one hot, sunny day when I came across an ice cream stand. I asked the clerk for a chocolate-vanilla swirl on a Belgian waffle cone. Everything changed when I took that first tongue-full. The cold hit me with a brain freeze going eighty miles an hour. I sat down as the world around me swam.

The Extraordinary Adventure of Mr. Clink and the Lost Sock
Mr. Clink awoke on an ordinary Tuesday morning, though he would later contend that it was no ordinary Tuesday at all. It began like any other day. His alarm clock, a tiny, slightly overweight rooster, squawked at 6:45 a.m. in a voice that could best be described as "angrily indifferent." It was a sound Mr. Clink had grown accustomed to. After all, he had no choice. The rooster had been his alarm clock for 37 years. Its only function in life was to wake him up, and, for reasons unknown to Mr. Clink, it did so with the flair of a Shakespearean tragedy.

To Serve and Protect
The greatest invention in the world is the doggy door. No longer do I have wait on the bear-snoring, slumbering form that is my human, Momma, to bumble out of bed to let me out to take care of my business. Honestly, and probably a glimpse into my occasionally petty mind, I think it took stepping in one too many of my perfectly placed accidents early in the morning before she finally installed the cherished doggy door.

The Midnight Canine Conundrum
Dakota Blaqq was an expert in focus. Her office, tucked away on the 14th floor of the Tower of Possible Work, was her sanctuary—an endless sea of whiteboards, sticky notes, and half-empty coffee cups. The task at hand was crucial. She had, for the past six hours, been hunched over her desk, her fingers dancing across her keyboard as though she were in the throes of an epic symphony of productivity.

Death by Laundry
Once upon a time, in a land far far away (yet close enough that most mother's can relate), there was a young mother who had been sick for an entire week. During this week, she hadn't done any laundry - despite it being an item on her daily to do list.

Johnny McGory. Top Story - March 2025.
Shall I tell you a story about Johnny McGory? Shall I begin it? That’s all that’s in it. Oh, don’t go pulling such a face on me. That one always made you laugh when you were a kid, and I don’t mean to imply that you’re a goat now. Ahh, there’s a smile.

A Funny Thing Happened to Me After Work the Other Day
I’m about to dust off a real old vaudevillian chestnut. A funny thing happened to me after work the other day… You always hear that line or some variation of it on TV or in movies whenever they bring out a hacky comedian—“A funny thing happened to me on the way over here…”, “A funny thing happened to me the other day…”—and it’s always followed by some really corny old joke that’s been done to death like, “A funny thing happened to me on my way here to tonight: a guy comes up to me and he says, ‘I haven’t had a bite in days!’ So I bit him!” or “A funny thing happened to me on the way here: a guy walks up to me and he says he hasn’t tasted food in over a month, so I says to him, ‘Don’t worry; it still tastes the same.’”
