Her: We should def hang out some time.

Her: Thoughts?
I: Yep.
Her: Huh?

Her: Uh. Sure?
I: I bet you a buck that you are thinking thoughts right now.

1. I want a live kangaroo (if you can get one for under $100). Don’t hem and haw thinking this is a tricky thing to get. Just go to a zoo, look for one that’s old, or hopping awkwardly, or that looks kind of dead. I’m sure someone will give you a deal. Sick animals are depressing. Zookeepers probably want to be rid of it. I want a kangaroo. I want to teach it to spit at slow...

Screenwriting Tip #815
screenwritingtips:
Some days the words just won’t come, and being a writer seems like a terrible idea. On those days there’s nothing you can do but go to bed, set your alarm, wake up the next morning and get back to work.

Manly Advice: First Dates
It is not manly to take a girl to ground zero for hot dogs on a first date.
Think about it.
Chances are it will just make her sad and give her the hot dog burps.
There’s nothing hot about any of that.
