The Mug Awards
"Express Yourself!" they say. Yeah, right. There are times all I want to say is.*****. Well, I really can't and won't say it, but you, dear reader, know what I mean. Regardless of how people felt this last week, there's either an expression of grief or gloating. Neither side wants to hear either, except in the privacy of their safe groups where they can either glare or gloat.

“You have to get used to it. Your memory ages along with the rest of you. Don’t panic.” Hugh was on the phone with his doctor.

They were the Best of Memes, They were the Worst of Memes
I'm seriously out of control! Someone should seriously stop me! I'm having too much fun! Okay. I won't stop. I published this stuff originally in a Place-That-Shall-Remain-Nameless (🤐the Journal Community) before there was a proper place at Vocal for comedy. Recently I've been migrating shit over here, where it belongs. I've updated this routine and removed all those contagious Covid jokes that weren't funny at all. All they did was cause inflation. My Bad. 🤷
