What do you call a werewolf with a taste for exotic fruits?

Okay. Someone needs to take my phone away from me. I can’t be allowed access to people if that’s what I’m coming up with.

Going from a nice four-day break to back to work on a zero-degree day but, oh yeah, 'let's pop a dentist appointment in beforehand' seems to be the height of cruelty. It is cask-strength Monday.

Doggo went home today,which is great.

However, we had to pay an additional $4500 more than what we were expecting because the vet underestimated 🫥

Anything helps.
Hey everyone. Hate that I have to post this. My dog was hit by a car tonight and suffered a shattered leg and damage to her intestines. Surgery and medical expenses are roughly $20,000. It’s been a rough year and anything helps.

I came up with such a beautifully crass malapropism for 'raconteur' but I have nowhere to use it and it makes me sad in the little part of my heart that can still feel joy.

Post your favorite "Lord of the Rings" character. Wrong answers only.

(This is technically correct because LotR is NOT The Hobbit)

On this Blackest of Fridays (not sure I love that phrasing but I'm going with it), I do not have any special sales running. However, for less than $10, you can buy the entirety of my non-comedy books right now. You can't even get a coffee for that these days. Can you?

Whoops. How did this list of Patreon-exclusive story ideas drop here? I should probably pick it up before anyone gets excited about the ideas and subscribes. That would be terrible of me.

Well, I just finished up being wrist-deep in a turkey's butthole stuffing butter under the skin, so it's officially Thanksgiving.

What is a trope you absolutely want to read and/or write more of?

I absolutely love when big, dumb, barbarian-style characters either have to or get to play fancy and dress up for an occasion. I’m doing a text DnD thing with friends for Thanksgiving. My barbarian is named Bigg and he has a top hat.

Internet friends, let us speak of happy things because I am at work and I am in A Mood that is not conducive to customer service. Send memes, questions, whatever.

Replace 'Monday' with 'Wednesday' and 'the day before a holiday' but the message remains!
Okay, it's Monday so time for another push for ratings!

Before the end of the year, can we get Zoo to 50, WBRG to 30, and October Music to 10? More for Boddicker would be killer too, but I like round numbers.
