I just can't think of anything to write anymore.

I thought about writing something about General "Whut, I'm not a tabloid celebrity" McChrystal, but he's already a parody in himself.

Don't worry about it. Do something else, and something will come to mind when you least expect it, and probably when you least have time to write it all down.

Meanwhile, if you live in the Northern Hemisphere, it's summer. Go enjoy it.

(Gearing up for vacation, myself. Getting impatient.)

England play Germany in the World Cup on Sunday.

It's a spoofers dream ticket. Even if you know nothing about football, England and Germany have an interesting history.

Hope this helps.

Regards

Skoob.

Sometimes when I need inspiration, I Google names like Limbaugh, Palin, Kate Gosselin, or events like oil spill, psychics, etc. and then I hit the news tab to see what new news is going on.

My stories then kinda take shape from there. I'll get a weird thought about something I'v read and I go with the thought.
Sometimes I'll save a story that seems difficult to write for another time and when I go back to it, usually I can finish it no problem.

Don't know if this helps, but that's what I do. Oh, I also sometimes go to the word of the day and see if there is any words on there that spur me to write a story.

Thank you everyone. That was excellent advice. After I tried a few of Charpa 93's tips, I got a great idea about political Poop Scooping.

Skoob, I'll definitely have a go before Sunday at writing something about England.

Thank you also to Amethyst Ryder. I hope you enjoy your holiday.

Here's some ideas for you:

Refrigerator magnets. That's right, I'm giving you a diamond in the rough. I don't think any of us have ever written a really good spoof on refrigerator magnets.

Cobb Salad. Go for it! Point out that there are no corn cobs in cobb salad. Show the hypocracy of the food industry! This is a potential treasure trove of great humor.

Lace Coffee Table Doilies. What can I say? It's another topic we've all ignored for just too long. Do this one right and it could lead to a Pulitzer Prize.

I hope this helps. You know I'm giving away a lot of good stuff here.

Thank you. I'll be forever endebted to your wisdom.

I have too! The oil spill is just depressing. I could only do so much with that. I don't try to concentrate on celebrities vaginas since that milieu seems to be very well supported. Just don't feel spoofy lately.

I agree, especially about the Lace Doilies. I once did an article on antimacassars. There's a whole world of furniture accessories to explore, and I feel we have only just scraped the surface - which wouldn't happen if you used a good Lace Doily.

Here. Something to cheer all of you up:

Breakthrough discovery: Dinosaurs, prehistoric mammals shared common language

It's silly, it's fluffy, and contains not one word about the oil spill or other depressing matters.

Rrraaahr.

Well I did do a refrigerator magnet story, a bit gruesome.

Just pulled this up and read it. 5*'s Victor. Quite clever piece of writing.

I've known a few people with refrigerators like that.

Five big magnetic stars from me.

Thanks girls.

Don't hear that too much around here.

Wait till they get attacked by a killer fridge with magnets. The last laugh will be yours.

I pretty much have that problem out of control after a near-death experience.

I can understand, the Marineland and Nashville refrigerator magnets sudddenly reversed polarity while you were opening the door to get some milk, then it happened ...

Actually, my pink flamingo switched legs.
