1.) No, actually the worst pick-up line ever is “Did you fall from the heavens? Because those are two meaty orbs.”

2.) The lead in TWILIGHT was just going through her vlad-boy phase.

3.) People who tell me I’d be a good teacher just because I lecture well have no idea how hard teachers work nor the depths of my impatience.

4.) The beauty of scifi is you’re writing about things that can’t/haven’t happened so your metaphors can transcend readers’ personal experience.

5.) If you’re skilled but inconsistent, the trick is to be creating all the time and allowing the law of averages to be your wingman.

6.) Another two phrases that are too close for comfort: “ichthyology/ick, theology!”

7.) The lightbulb in the empty house next door/flickers like someone’s saying hello/but “like” does not always make it so.

8.) “Once In A Lifetime”. There’s, what, eight billion lives on Earth this very second? Once in a lifetime would be as common as sand.

9.) If you need to know LA, listen to Zevon. If you need to know NY, listen to Reed. Listen to Young if you need to know what’s in-between.

10.) Tempus fugit tempest fugitives, we’re all on the run from the oncoming storm that’s the passage of time.

11.) As a single word, the name Josh Groban sounds like a minor Klingon colony. “Soon your warrior prowess will get you off J’shgrob’n.”

12.) The more honest memetic phrase for reading the internet would be “View Article As Single-Page Or GTFO”.
