Anything can harm you, and nothing is safe, not rainbows, not god, not the lonely girl that everyone picks on, and certainly not clowns.
Inspired by a Harlan Ellison story that utilizes each letter of the alphabet as a title-starter.

@slvppy Bite the head clean off, eat it, save the torso for later.

@MattBaume Maybe the painter was dyslexic, and he just has to go a long ways.

@BradburyCenter Some of the first books I ever bought with my own money.

[Michael Channing @michaelchanning]

@ruberzen @PicturesFoIder I agree. If you're allowed to go faster than what's on the sign, then post the actual limit.

@femboyautoparts @drmistercody Ease back the throttle, Stephen King.

@BobIsntFunny I don't remember ever seeing people taking the ash mark till sometime in the 2000s. Was it a wide-spread thing before then?

I love Cemetery Dance. It's where I discovered Joe R. Lansdale back in the day.

@TexasGranny1956 That's what makes him a bad guy.

@AnnotatedMST I played a game where you make up the premise for the worst movie you can think of. I came up with "Dildozer."

[Michael Channing @michaelchanning]

@WrnrWrites The people I work for and with treat me with respect. That goes a long way.

@prescotttyler Do not bring your slapstick here.

@MattBaume They said my vena cava was inferior. Doctors are rude.

@AnneLParrish I've heard a novel described as an easy way to write a short story. That being said, two of the best short story writers ever, Harlan Ellison and Ray Bradbury, were not all that great at novels.

@joelansdale Book says "celebration" instead of "tradition." I just changed that word in my mind and it stuck.

[Michael Channing @michaelchanning]

@joelansdale, I put my favorite opening line on the wall.

[Michael Channing @michaelchanning]

@joelansdale It's only now, years after I made that image, months after hanging it on the wall, and (of course) after showing the line to the guy who wrote it, that I realize I got the quote wrong.

@boxbrown Others have said it, but it's because they book too may appointments. If your doc is part of a hospital service, as opposed to a private practice, the hospital dictates how many patient they must see and bill for every day, or get fired.

@Simpson_PatB Made it myself.
