Imaginary Helpers I have a friend that bought a hypnotic archetype book. It’s a self hypnosis based meditation on how to create a collection of helpful archetypes. The more you mediate on them, the more they’ll become real. Eventually, they’ll exist as coming from the unused portion of your brain, so they’ll […]
Deep Donut Hypnosis
Nothing In The Middle There’s this really cool alarm clock you can buy. They don’t sell it on Amazon, they don’t sell it at Target, they don’t sell it at Walmart. You can only buy it directly from the stores website, and they don’t have free shipping. But the clock is only […]
Mental Maze
Older Than You Think I went to a maze seminar recently. It was not just how to create mazes, but to think and speak in maze like linguistic structures. To seduce and draw others in, or to trap them in a web of metaphors from which they can never escape. First we […]
Head or Tails Universe
DNA Workout I have this friend that went to an exercise seminar. They match your body type, your DNA and your emotional make up to the ideal exercise. For him, it was swimming. But he hated swimming pools because the nastiness. So he started doing laps in his bathtub. Didn’t […]
Sexy Dollar Lady
Slipped Through My Fingers I was at the supermarket the other day, buying a bunch of stuff for the weekend. It was a cashier I enjoy flirting with whenever I see her. She went to give me my change, and tentatively held out a silver dollar. Not a real silver dollar, but […]
Tupperware Horror Show

Since there have been so many comets and other space objects hitting the Earth for billions of years, this is fairly likely. It’s also believed that once you have the right ingredients and conditions for life, the […]

Smarter Than Most There’s this really smart lady who has a very powerful job designing very advanced secretive scientific instruments for a very clandestine government contractor. But she absolutely loves donuts. So when her doctor told her she could no longer eat donuts at every meal, she knew she had to do something […]
Wrong Way Persuasion
Almost Become Rich I had a friend who scored a potentially lucrative job interview. Lucrative, of course, only if he managed to get the job. To be able to persuade the hiring manger to hire this person. Luckily, the job interview wasn’t for a couple of weeks. So he had plenty […]
Chasing The Devil
Bad Metaphors A nearly always incorrectly used metaphor in economics is something called, “pent up demand.” The way it’s used, is that longer somebody goes without buying things, the more things they’ll buy once they have the chance. But a more accurate way to describe this is delayed demand, rather than pent up […]
Planetary Murder Cult
No Lights There’s a pretty well known urban legend about head lights. As the legend goes, murderers will drive around at night with their lifts off. Whoever blinks at them to turn on their lights is their target. Scavenger hunts are pretty common and usually pretty enjoyable. Got Any Wooden Clothespins? […]
