Bellybutton fluff, why?
You’d have to ask the belly button fluff. ‘Why you look so sad, belly button fluff?’ I just had a look, I don’t have any right now. I was thinking of leaving it resting on my laptop, just by the … Continue reading
Won’t you take me to Funkytown? And if you would, how would we get there?
I think the important thing is the out of sorts, quite satisfying but largely unrecognisable introduction. I would take you there. But I’d have to take you somewhere utterly different or at least stranger immediately afterwards. I don’t like to … Continue reading
If misery loves company, what does happiness love?
Ice cream? Realistically though, the answer is either ‘also company’ or ‘it doesn’t really matter’. Happiness is quite content on it’s own. Misery feels more vindicated if it is shared, but happiness generally just cascades around boistrously, knocking down anything … Continue reading
If you go down to the woods today, what surprises will you find? Extra points for detail, minus points for over reliance on the negative effects of climate change, etc
So, I’m kinda trapped in a trap here. Not the one you’ve intentionally laid for me with your tricksy point system, but a simple semantic pothole. Anything I can tell you about wouldn’t be a surprise. How could it? I’m … Continue reading

How would one go about relighting one’s fire?
Right now, I really wish I knew. The only hope I’ve got is in this apple I’ve got here. Give me a moment. *** Okay. Sometimes I think that all my problems could be solved if I just remembered to … Continue reading
Irish stereotypes, discuss.
I’m sitting here trying to list all of the stereotypes I can think of, and to be honest, there isn’t much (though they aren’t particularly flattering). With the obvious caveat that I don’t believe these things to be true here’s … Continue reading
Why are boobs referred to as melons?
Because they are both green, stripy, full of seeds and on display on the streets near the local grocer’s on a Summer’s day? Because they are cool and refreshing? Big, round and juicy? (Except when they’re small, pointy and with … Continue reading
Why do the bottom area of pajamas always sag? Even if one is pert in the manner of a ripe peach?
I have no idea what the hell you’re talking about. Perhaps that’s disingenuous. Obviously I have heard of pyjamas (and I’m definitely a ‘spell them with a y’ kinda guy), and of course, my bottom is ripe like a peach … Continue reading
