The Long and Short of It and My First Photo for Philip Ogley’s “Uncough”

Was “Cough” already taken?

“Unsplashing ‘olives’” Photo by Kateryna T on Unsplash
I really should be handwashing dishes like the B$arios do and clean up the kitchen. Author’s file.

It was fine and dandy for you to joke about X-rated movies, you’ve never seen an X-rated movie, X-rated movies are unreal to you, but when a man, even a man like Phil Craddock, looks you in the eye and speaks of things personal, things private and tinged with naughtiness, your inevitable fluster paints such dollops of pimento on your olive cheeks that they would be fit to garnish a martini — in this case, the third one of the afternoon, all doubles — and when you attempt to stem the blood, it makes you blush all the harder.

97 words, Tom Robbins, “Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas”

They’re out there.

3 words, Ken Kesey, “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”

I’m sure there are a lot of people unhappy with their city’s reawakening from Covid quarantine with the unrelenting pace of what some refer to as “a thriving community” and others simply call clusterfuck housing, junk food franchises, potholes, bad infrastructure, noise pollution, light pollution, and more litter than the fake “Chief Iron Eyes Cody” can endure without a tsunami of tears falling from his dark eyes while first rowing his canoe on a filthy lake to a filthy shore, where white eyes throws trash out the window of his car, disrespecting the natural beauty of America.

97 words, Ann James, Medium.coma

So it goes.

3 words, Kurt Vonnegut, “Slaughterhouse Five”

Philip chose the first “cough” photo from “Unsplash” for his post below.

Today, is the Patrick Eades of March, the best possible day to pester Patrick while he’s working at Substack. 😭(Re)read one or all of his posts, so he makes that amazeballs residual income Medium.coma is famous for. Awesome parenting tips, satire, poetry, book reviews, and he’s got a German Shepherd!
