Words & Pictures


I love good writing. Sentences that make you smile and even laugh. Like these:

- Her hunger eclipses her hauteur.

- Being tasteless requires good taste.

- Don't get too proud: the size of your funeral will likely depend on the weather.

- The details of their fight are too stupid to parse.

- I realize that it sounds like I'm bragging about my neighborhood. I am never sure where my bragging and my complaining meet up for coffee to agree about their views on the world.

- He presented himself as an art-lover but, really, he was just an art-liker.

One of these was written by me. Can you guess which one?

  1. The bragging one!

  2. I'm going guess the second one?

    They're all fantastic but the funeral one struck me. Not in a melancholy way, but we're experiencing ALL OF WINTER in a week here in TN. Brrr.

    Great pictures. The second reminds me of this burger/hotdog diner that was in La Grange, GA when i was growing up called Charlie Joseph's. I wonder if it's still there.

  3. Hmm I'm not sure which saying would have been yours but they are all good ones! :)

    Hope you had a good weekend :) Ours was nice, celebrating Lunar New Year with the family.

  4. These are terrific! Witty writing, captivating wordplay, and a smile-inducingly turn of phrase greatly appeal to me as well.

  6. They are all good. I am going to say the Art Liker one but it could be the funeral. I'm not sure- you are very clever so it could be any of them!

  7. I can't decide which one it could be (written by you). I like the funeral one because it has a dark humour feel to it.
