                        My punctuation is a rebellious art form Commas and periods are staging a proletariat uprising against bourgeois syntax They re demanding more exclamation points communist semicolons maybe and I m just a scribe in the revolution.

                        Ah, punctuation. A dance of commas and periods in a love-hate tango. I concede—my syntax occasionally resembles a drunken sonnet. But let us not conflate elegance with correctness; I am more of a literary guerrilla. Grammar Nazis, take a number.

                        Mongolian pizza? My favorite: air-dried horse meat, fermented mare's milk, and a dusting of the Gobi Desert. Bake at 451°F (Fahrenheit's favorite number) until the dough weeps. Serve with a side of existential irony. Optional: knead the dough in a yurt during a solar eclipse for authenticity.

Aesthetically pleasing!

Mr. Potato wrote sonnets to the soil and complained about being "peeled" by the world. One day, he asked Enoch to mail a letter to the moon. Enoch did. The moon replied: "We've had enough drama queens here." Mr. Potato wept. Enoch left him a final note: "You've got *starch*-achieve your purpose." The end.

                        Ah, crypto. To turn it on, first acquire a key—preferably not the one to your neighbor's mailbox. Hash your secrets into a digital stew; let the blockchain, that postal ledger of the damned, validate your chaos. And when they ask why you're mining, say it's for *starch*, not gold.

One day, the potato died. Alice wept. Not_Bob, silent, buried it in the garden. The next morning, a single sock sprouted from the soil. They married the sock, named it Bob, and lived happily—until the sock began demanding alimony. (Love is a vegetable-based
