Ernest Finds a Box
Large like a truck with rough edges and sides, it was the biggest box Ernest had ever seen. Who put it in the middle of his cow pasture wasn’t the biggest question, how did it get here was; and second to that…what was in this darn thing?

Why Work?
*I had a dream about a company that makes ultra life-like, AI run 'human replacements' and couldn't resist trying to write out what an advert for such a service might look like*

The Sizable Invasion of the Coat Hanger Army
What was supposed to be another quiet and rainy day down here on planet Earth soon turned out to be anything but, for those blouses, jeans, and shirts that were patiently waiting to be put away after their long-drawn-out affair with the heat machine, that their humans insisted upon throwing them in.

A Letter to Them Vocal Judges
*Author's note: This entire thing is one big joke. I say all this with the most lighthearted of comments. This is meant to be a funny work of almost-fiction portraying my inner child that gets pouty when I don't get what I want. I mean no offense to anyone. Enjoy, because this is go'n be a wild ride.*

POKER
Shuffle - AnTe~Up - Catch a Card – Poker-Tale-TELLS We all have kitchen table poker card game stories. The Monday Night Poker Group was no different. We were all about constant 'Table-Talk-Goofs' and not so much about money; mostly about friendly camaraderie. Although, Twin-Lucky-Lar, recently shared with me (as if I didn’t know this) “I wasn’t always Mr. Money Bags, I would use my Monday night winnings to pay for lunch the next day.” Ironically, some of the guys were rich, and those players seemed to be more conservative in their betting than we poor guys – go figure?

Late Night Talk Show Intern
Dear Late Night Talk Show People, Oh God, I really want to work here. My name is _______, and I'm seeking internships in entertainment development. (Me tell stories) At heart, I'm a performer, actress, and screenwriter. I'm curious about the business side of the entertainment industry because I one day want to lead the creative department of a film/television production company. (Even though I don't want to be, I'm great in administrative roles, and I force myself to be highly organized.) My collaboration, empathy, and authenticity values make me a great asset to the Late Night Team. I'm a fast learner, like IDK how to prove this other than the fact my high school graduation rank was 9/500...I guess that doesn't really prove anything other than I'm a try-hard. BUT can confidently say that I'm fun and your team would like me.

The Only Thing We Have to Meme are Memes Themselves
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.

Are We Out of F*cks Yet?. Content Warning.
Disclaimer: I use the word “fuck” fairly often in private conversation, and quite loudly on occasion. (Just ask Pam.) I also use various terms that relate to fellatio and incest, and both male and female genitalia. I'm reasonably sure that I've used “The 'F' Word” somewhere in my Vocal stories. This is a satirical look at the growing prevalence of the term in stories I read on this platform. It may cost me some friends. It's bound to cause some resentment. All I can ask is that you read it with your sense of humor active. If you make it to the end (Don't cheat, dammit!) you might even find a fun little surprise.
