Rant book or Book of Grudges. Humm… There are days one would need an encyclopedia worth of blank pages. I find a coffee and a donut are the best first step though before putting pen to paper when ranting, it helping focus the thoughts before churning it out via stream of consciousness writing.
You are not wrong, Al! I would need a very big book.
Yes, a nice doughnut would be good. With jam inside of course. That’s called sensibly taking stock with sugar on top. I shall add this to the ritual and see if the rant is affected or is lessened in tempo!
I think that a blog is something like a rant book or a Book of Grudges. I'm always concerned that when I think I'm thinking, I'm only rearranging my prejudices. Does that surface in my blog? Or in my books. I think I have something like 10 books in print these days (some with Jules as co-author), and when there is that much ink out there, there's a danger of repeating myself. One day, when I have a robot ghost writer (not a dead robot), the droid may pick up on repeated rants and grudges. What do you call a re-rant? Or have I invented a new word here on Whimsy?
Do you think better when you're wearing an Emergency Clown Nose? That could be a PhD dissertation topic. I wonder if I could get a grant or fellowship to do an academic study, which would naturally be published. Would that publication be considered to be a rant?
Yes, I think it is. There’s a definite satisfaction to writing that allows you to vent your spleen. I think like Byron said, you have to write otherwise you will go mad. I’m sure we all re-rant! (great word) because the same things annoy and the same things can annoy us in different coats.
Do I think better wearing an emergency clown nose? I think maybe I do, I certainly think differently. It’s only a nose but it’s also the start of a mask and when one puts a mask on, one can be whatever they want to be. If I’m putting on my emergency clown nose it’s usually to create a highly awkward moment, severe uncomfortability, or a laugh. Depending on the reaction helps decide my direction.
The question you should be asking, Larry, is should I rant with a clown nose on? That should prove to be interesting as I’d probably get less annoyed and instead, want to have a whirly -whirly bowtie that squirts water in people’s faces!
A rant book is probably a better release than cursing and giving the finger to all of the Tesla drivers who believe that rules don't apply to them. And it's not all Tesla drivers but it's always a Tesla driver. Likewise, it's probably healthier than constantly screaming about the 🍊💩 and his minions. There's so very much to rant about, alas, so I'm afraid I would have no time for my knitting and wondering how they made Mitch Mcconnell look so lifelike.

And clown Church is born again.
