My Big Fat Greek Funeral: The Prelude
My father-in-law was itching to go back to Greece. He had booked his airline ticket in advance. He enthusiastically prepaid all his credit cards and utility bills and packed his carry-on suitcase. He bragged that he traveled light, and checking in luggage only slowed him down. He started carrying his pen and his passport in his breast pocket. The only thing holding him back was the days to departure. He still had two weeks left.

My Big Fat Greek Funeral: Part I
In the beginning of the end, there was a lot of hope. Pappou was rushed to the hospital on a cold January morning. For my superstitious audience, it was Friday the 13th. The nurses, doctors, and hospital staff did their best to keep Pappou Yianni with us. From every face, we felt compassion and kindness for what we were going through. All our family and friends came to visit, which gave us strength. We did not feel alone; we felt their compassion through their hugs and encouragement to pray for a miracle. Alas, Pappou Yianni passed away a few days after arriving at the hospital. Our dear friend, Demetrios, described what friends do in life, "…they are there for us to share the joy at weddings and bear the burden at funerals."

The Only Thing We Have to Meme are Memes Themselves. Top Story - August 2023.
I've been away for a while. In the past, I have authored a lot of short stories here, especially horror and sci-fi. I also write poetry. I have an FYI series entitled Top 10 Prophets, 👁👁 Prognosticators, & Visionaries. And last year, I compiled a slew of various memes, developing a kind of comedy series, long before Vocal created this glorious Humor Community.

These well-adorned residences were inhabited by equally stunning women who graced the streets with their elegance.

From Brake to Breakthrough
Ah, the open road; a realm of endless possibilities, of wind in your hair and the hum of adventure beneath your wheels. Or, in the case of my dear friend Lucy, a place of nail-biting uncertainty, rule-following to the point of obsession, and one very unexpected collision.

Towel Heist Shenanigans
Picture this: you stroll into your compound, your heart brimming with anticipation of the warm and enthusiastic welcome that awaits you. Yet, as you step through the gate, a disheartening realization strikes like a slap to the face – your beloved dogs are nowhere to be seen. They've forsaken their usual "Welcome Home!" ritual, and the silence feels as loud as an elephant in tap shoes.

Tap-Turner Tails
In a cozy house on the outskirts of town, lived a man named Peter along with his two beloved German Shepherds, Max and Bella. These two four-legged companions were not your typical canines; they behaved as if they were characters straight out of a sitcom. Their antics, however, were about to plunge the household into a delightful cascade of laughter.

Inflation Follies
In a land where the cost of living had soared to heights that even airplanes would envy, the people decided to throw a carnival to celebrate their financial acrobatics.
