Free Ideas

What good do ideas do gathering dust in a drawer, bogarting electron holes on a disk? No good. So might as well share them. Maybe they can do you some good. Not asking anything in return. See something you like? Just call "dibs." More.

If we all used less …

we’ve have more to go around.

Spam Spellchecker

I don’t understand why I get spam with so many misspelled words. Just add a spellchecker and kick out the messages with the most misspelled words. C’mon, it  can’t be that sticking numbers in words makes them spellcheck-proof. That seems fixable. Seriously, how does this crap get through?

Steal These Lyrics: It’s Only Love

I wrote these lyrics some time ago and I don’t know why. So, yes, certainly, somebody feel free, if you agree, to steal these lyrics and turn them into a song.
It’s only love, don’t you care …
Just ordinary, boring love …
It’s only love, for those who dare

be more […]

Seeking UCLA’s X Swami X

This isn’t an idea, it’s a plea. Anybody out there ever hear of an X Swami X who spoke at UCLA back in the early ’70s? Of course, I’m contacting UCLA as well. But this guy was a riot. Profane but profound. The guru of the blue view. Took “Make Love Not War” right to […]

‘Lost’: Land of the Living Dead

You know why pilot Frank didn’t see a wedding ring on the hand of the waterlogged pilot’s corpse? Because the body will turn out to be Frank’s. 
On Thursday’s show, the freighter captain shows Sayid and Desmond the black box flight recorder from the bottom-of-the-sea wreckage of Oceanic Flight 815 and says someone went to a lot of trouble to fill a […]

Types of Aphorisms 2

How could I have overlooked photographorisms? These would be pictures that illustrate sayings. Like a penny going into a piggy back be a photographisms for “A penny saved is a penny earned.” Except it’s not exactly as snappy, is it? Hmmm. True photographisms would be more than a picture, they’d precisely communicate a thought.
And if […]

Baseball Bat Canes

“Saw” this idea while walking in Philadelphia. Man was using a cane. But for some reason I got this image of a combo cane and baseball bat. Probably because a hint of spring was in the air, and I was thinking, wouldn’t it be nice to play a little baseball? Then, I thought, could also […]

Paragraphorisms: Wordy words of wisdom that take several sentences.

A Better Answer to a Vos Savant Puzzle

In Sunday’s Parade magazine, Marilyn Vos Savant’s column posed a puzzle:
What four positive numbers have a sum that is equal to their product? Meaning: a + b + c + d = a x b x c x d. 
Then she gives the answer as 1, 1, 2 and 4.
Uh, not to nitpick, but like, those are […]
