The Surprise Party
You know how your parents say, "I hope you have a kid just like you someday!" On February 21, 2024, our oldest child, Ava, did something so out-of-pocket, as the new saying goes, that it had Tony, my husband, and I staring at one another from across the table at 6 pm wondering, "Where's the child who was supposed to be just like us."
Sarah GlassPublished 2 months ago in HumorWhy I Stopped Watching Football and Became a Sports Monk
I watched the Ice Bowl on December 31, 1967, between the Green Bay Packers and the Dallas Cowboys. Every snap, every down, every tackle as the players rose ever more slowly throughout the game — the freezing temperatures doing to their limbs what a freezer does to a pork chop.
If This Is the Future Of Food
I'm an American in Hong Kong. The many vacation days of the Chinese New Year this year have stretched into an endless loop of clashing drum music, red decorations, and existential boredom.

My experiment began when I found this odd bit of 90’s nostalgia online. I know what you’re thinking. Finally, an everything pizza seasoning endorsed by The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Millennials, look no further. This 4.4 ounce bottle of pizza-like flavor is available on amazon.com for $12.99. Also available, ‘The Shredder.’
Leslie WritesPublished 2 months ago in Humor- Billy -
— Migration — THE Sponsor, Cousin Billy Kantor, would bring relatives escaping Russian Persecuting Pogroms filtering 2-3 at a time through Ellis Island, the Immigration reception area in New York. Not far from the Statue of Liberty, "Give us your Tired your Poor." And, putting them to work in his Haberdashery. "Billy Sells for Less" Sioux City, Iowa. Of course the suit-tie-and fedora were the 'Dress Code' of the day; probably not the case today.

The great day has arrived! Like thunder grumbling distantly… our two youngest family members had been murmuring about attempting a Bob Ross Painting Tutorial, as a family.

A bare-naked leg dangled desperately off the edge of the bed, as she struggled to adjust the temperature. (Men and pause) had ravaged her body, destroying its ability to maintain proper function. Hot then cold, tired then weak, insomnia followed by exhaustion. A cycle, years in the making.

Zip-it-Up - Jean Disaster - Tail Tales Did you ever - I know that we all have - pushed the email send button to the wrong person and just want to lunge into the screen to take it back? Come-on, mercy please take-backs! As I scream and plead into this inhumane gadget: where is its 'inanimate' heart? It could be very embarrassing; no way I did this. I blame my autocorrect filter Ai, who would certainly know me more than 'me' what I intended. Why do we even bother to think anymore? I’m sure many of you can relate to the following true tale that happened to me.
Jay KantorPublished 4 months ago in HumorIh: The Creation of a New Word
We humans, we love our simple noises. Isn’t it great to be able to grunt and get a point across? Minimal effort. That’s what the human experience is about. Minimal effort for maximum output. In the English language, we have a lot of these. Ever notice a lot of them are two letters and end with an H?
Stephen Kramer AvitabilePublished 4 months ago in HumorA Very Honest Date
The waitress was very fat and I did not like her hair, but she had a good attitude as she guided me to my seat. The restaurant was not full on a Friday, so I guessed that the concert next door was still on and that it would fill up with people who had terrible taste in music later (the group playing truly sucked). I knew that my name was on the reservation list, but I still had a twenty ready in case she gave me a hassle.
Kendall DefoePublished 4 months ago in HumorAt 44, I Gave Up Drinking, Now I Can't Stop Thinking (Of How Hot I Am)
"You're 44?! You look hot!" I'd like to let everyone on Medium know (sorry to those who are less attractive than me), that these are the words I need to live with hearing daily. Especially when I stroll the beach in Miami in my bikini.
