“I was a Teletype operator in the army, so that's where I learned to type. One day, I went downstairs to see if I could still type - I hadn't done it for four or five years after the war. So I typed out a page and I showed it to my wife and she said, "Where did you get this?" I said I wrote it. "You wrote this?" It was something very funny. I went and wrote another page, another couple of pages, and by the time I was finished I had 13 little short stories, humorous short stories.” IfsYearsLittlesSaidStillsWarDoneStoriesFiveFourWifeTypeCoupleOne DayPagesHumorousArmyMy WifeFinishedFive YearsIf I CouldShort StoryOperators Author:Carl Reiner
“How this feels is I'm just another task in God's daily planner: The Renaissance pencilled in for right after the Dark Ages. The Information Age is scheduled immediately after the Industrial Revolution. Then the Post-Modern Era, then The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Famine. Check. Pestilence. Check. War. Check. Death. Check. And between the big events, the earthquakes and tidal waves, God's got me squeezed in for a cameo appearance. Then maybe in thirty years, or maybe next year, God's daily planner has me finished.” FeelsYearsWarBigsAgeNextDarkFourModernEventsInformationRevolutionTasksWaveAppearanceFinishedChecksErasPostsThirtyApocalypseNext YearEarthquakesDark AgesRenaissanceFamineThirty YearsIndustrial RevolutionPlannersInformation AgePestilenceHorsemenTidal WavesBig EventsModern EraCameosFour HorsemenFour Horsemen Of The Apocalypse Author:Chuck Palahniuk

“In an attempt to help me move on from my failed marriage, my mom set me up with Jesus Freak. In fact, the stoner hadn't even finished moving out when she told me not to worry, because she already had someone better lined up for me. I was just lonely and desperate enough to endure a four-month celibate long distance relationship with a guy who read 15 chapters of the Bible and prayed for two hours every day and expected me to follow suit. He wanted to give our hypothetical children Bible names and for us to move to Korea to become missionaries.” GivingChildrenLongTwoEnoughFactsHelpingWantedMovingGuyJesusNamesHoursWorryFourMomMonthsLonelyDistanceEndureMy MomFinishedExpectedSuitsDesperateHelp MeFreakChaptersKoreaLong DistanceDistance RelationshipLong Distance RelationshipHypotheticalMoving OutStonersFailed MarriageJesus Freak Author:Kate Madison
