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!
one more thing to make you weary on a Wednesday.........but let's not talk about England/Argentina...
rant book, brilliant, it's like what Abraham Lincoln did with his hot letters, he'd angrily WRITE IT ALL OUT in a letter but NEVER SEND IT to the person, that's the key :)
if I don't get a hiatus soon I'll get a hernia.
can you please paint my knee with the Nirvana smiley face?
because in the words of Whose Line Is It Anyway: it's time for a hoedown!!!
When you've filled every page of your current rant book, burn it. The smoke will carry all that anger, those malevolences, the vitriol up and into the spirit world and out of this one (thus making earthly room for new, fresh ones).
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.
Tesla drivers can also be substituted with BMW drivers in my experience, Nancy. That’s why I like driving a big pick-up truck in England - it’s like playing Rock, Paper, Truck. Hehehe.
I had to look up the Mitch guy. Perhaps he’s been abducted by aliens? I like alien conspiracies the best. And that’s just an AI version. Keep on knitting, it keeps the knutters knotty.
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!

Ooh we can’t talk about Argentina. Or the Falklands.
Ah, Abe the babe also found this amazing self- help tool! I wonder if he had a grudge book?
I’d like knee painting to make a comeback! This is job is AI resistant!

I like that, Roger! I’ll try not to do it outside the house of anyone in my grudge book!
