You’d like her. She’s a cyto-geneticist. She once drew my blood sample and then sent me an official “caryotype” of my genetic code, pointing out that one of the chromosomes showed a high level of THC, which accounted for my persistant mellowness. I swallowed the bait for a day until I realized that even if my brain did secrete the same chemical as marihuana, it couldn’t possibly appear as a marker on one of my genes.
Lucky she was several hundred miles away when I got that caryotype.
In spite of losing all credibility by luring people in with that title, you must trust me that there are really 20 pencils in that holder. Some are merely hidden.
What if I was from Missouri? (I’m not but what if?) Or as Maxwell Smart might say,,”Ah it’s the old hidden pencil in pencil holder trick” cunning, very cunning indeed chief.
Oh, dear. No “About” page to leave this on. Oh, well, this will have to do. 🙂 Congratulations, I’ve nominated Year-Struck.com to receive the Sunshine Award.

My “About” is over on the top right; you probably were looking for it on the left. Thank you for the award, but I have decided to refrain from blog awards as much I appreciate them and feel honored by them. Thank you so much. Hopefully some of those who commented here will check out your blog.
I understand. I turned down one and then finally accepted two – and now I’m overwhelmed with three more and probably will give them an honorable mention – takes a lot of time to respond to. 🙂
I so love those writing tips articles/post so I opened up yours filled with anticipation. Ok maybe nothing there to improve my writing but I did have a good laugh. Thank you.
You are just soooo bad! (I did have to laugh though!)
I am bad, but I can’t help it. I guess I never grew out of the need to ring someone’s doorbell and then run.
You got me!!! Damnit.
Sorry, she said, trying to hide her grin.
Very clever!
Thanks, skippingstones.
You pen the “write” stuff!
That made me smile.
I think we all know the feeling of wanting to write eloquently but ending up with lots of #2.
I know the feeling well.
Lol! Ya got me.
Glad it made you laugh.
YS, you managed to capture my love of writing AND my bowel problems in so few words. Amazing!
Your comment made me laugh.
As sharp as ever! Shall we suppose you were trying to get the lead out and scrawled to a halt?
Your explanation sounds much better and punnier than mine.
Btw – I think you and I have to be mortal enemies this Sunday – will keep you posted.
I am so excited! What shall I wear?

You wear black and amber (yes, like a bumble bee) and I’ll be wearing green.
I went to the website and it looks as if Kilkenny is favored to win. I’m all a-buzz about it.
You won. Enmity over – we did our best (seemingly!!!)
I hope the loss didn’t sting too much.
Smarty! You must have met my sister recently … this is her kind of prank. Love it!
I think I would like to meet your sister.

That’s is hilarious.
Hahahaahahahahahaahahahahahaha!
I’m so glad it made you laugh. Nonsense has its purposes.
So, what’s your point?
The tallest pencil in the box.
I always choose the tallest as well, to match me-almost always the tallest woman in the room.
Oh man, I got all excited when I clicked on this. Haha. Still love it, though!!! Nice job. 🙂
I try to be good, honest I do, but sometimes I do things like this.
I liked it. What can I say?
I am glad to hear that.
I found this post to be very misleading..At best all I can find is 15-16 writing tips..Why are you holding out on us?

Yes, it’s the Maxwell Smart trick. 🙂

I hope you won’t hold it against me.
Absolutely not – writing tips are ubiquitous but a good laugh is hard to find.
Wooden want to have missed your important “tips”. My kind of post.
As a master punster, I figured you “would” enjoy it.
My love of puns “lead” me here.
I figured that, since you’e so sharp.
I see your point.
Never a dull moment when you start punning.
You’ve got that write.
Shall we quit now and call it a draw.
Well, there is a fine line between having fun and being annoying…
🙂
Glad it made you smile.
Such a lovely “bouquet of freshly sharpened pencils”
Well, with that many really sharp writing tips, it should take you awhile to wear them out…..especially if you are using a word processor 🙂
Reading your posts is always a study in writing tips anyway.
How many posts do you have now? “Way” more than 20 😉
I love a freshly sharpened pencils, but I normally use mechanical pencils because they never get dull.
Rather like the moments around here. Always enjoyable. T
Geez. I thought somebody was finally going to teach me how to write.
I keep hoping someone will teach me. Actually I hope that someone will sprinkle me with magic writing dust.
