I'm trying to sell some unwanted items on facebook marketplace, and I've never known stress like it.
I feel like each message is another insane demand, issued during some sort of hostage situation, where the hostage is my time.
I've been ghosted more times than Derek Acorah.

If you like tales of road ghosts, and who doesn't like being scared while hurtling down a road at speed? - then get this episode in your earholes.
Just look at those faces.
Those are the faces of two men that have seen (or heard) things. Terrible things.

Am I any good...
Dude...please.....

one of my favorite stories is when we went on a cruise for mom’s 60th and my brother and i stayed up on the deck all night and watched the drunkest dude we’d ever seen (so far) get arrested and yell “why? i’m not driving the boat!” and i say that so often

Anyone who's seen the classic "Whistle and I'll come to you" starring Michel Hordern, will know why whenever I see a bone on a beach, I have this overwhelming impulse to blow it.
Every time I see a strange bone on a coastal holiday, I think - I bet I could get a tune out of that.

Revisited this spectacular Kaleb Horton paragraph about crows this morning. "I have met crows that should be in jail" is one of those sentences that's so good you're initially furious you didn't write it yourself before circling back around to just being glad you got to read it.
