Get Silly
Maybe solar flares are a cry for help shot off by people on the sun who are waiting for us to save them.
The captain was furious to find a concert happening right there on the deck of his boat. But he was even more furious when all his men jumped off the boat after he yelled in his anger, “A BAND ON SHIP!”
On vacation,
“Why are there toll booths?” Paul protested, ”The road is already built.”
“It’s so they can pay the people who work in the toll booth,” my dad responded. ”Without them, how would the workers get paid?”In related news, I am thinking of getting a tattoo to remind me of the time I got that tattoo. After all, how else would I remember it?
I am pretty vain when it comes to casting characters in books. I put the most gorgeous celebrities in as main characters everytime. Really kills the novels that are meant to drive home the plight of the lower class.
Dying young—like at age twenty—would not only suck because of the short life, but also because it means you’d have to go through your midlife crisis at age ten.
I want my funeral procession to be a parade with huge blowup balloons of all the people that I loved—Jimmy Stewart, Mr. Rogers, Soren Kierkegaard. And there will be a big balloon of my face that they will pop at the end to symbolize the end of my life.
Then someone watching from nearby will scrunch their eyebrows and remark, “That is so macabre.”
I do believe it’s time to go visit a little place called Winesburg, Ohio. Farewell to you my friends.

Lol I love this …yes let’s get silly it’s so underated lol

Hahahahahaha, I love the popped balloon symbolism. That IS macabre, but I love it.
And hey! Winesburg is like 1 hr and 45 min from me!

There should also be confetti in the balloon. I think that would make it at least three times more spectacular.
Enjoy Ohio!
Please keep doing this.
And then one of your loved ones will pick up the remains of the popped balloon and place it in the living as a room as a rug. And when visitors come in and stand on it, they’ll ask, “oh, was this from StrokeofThought’s funeral?” To which the loved one will reply, “it WAS StrokeofThought.” And then they’ll get the metaphor and politely step back. LOL
I am *really* amused by the notion of a giant Kierkegaard balloon. It probably wouldn’t need handlers, it would be entirely responsible for itself!

LOL. . . instead of a teleological suspension of the ethical, it could be a teleological suspension of the physical.
He had some pretty intense hair, a balloon of him would actually probably be hard to do.

Woah . . could I actually do that? Like, could I make myself a balloon? I had no idea we could be made into that kind of material.
In the case that we can’t, perhaps just putting my ashes inside the balloon will do, so they can explode with the giant image of me. Then I can rain down on balloon handlers/my relatives.
