Oooh, fancy that! Loving your posts and the randomness, it has saved me from following 10 different substacks, because yours is like an "all-you-can-eat buffet!"

Drikus,

That is hilariously kind--thank you! I'm honored to be the "Golden Corral of Substacks" and I SO appreciate you hanging around this buffet line.

Stephanie, thank you!

I don’t want to spoil anything, but there’s no cash prize. No limo whisking me off to a Substack party; no designers clamoring to dress me; there’s not even a trophy.

BUT, I did celebrate the news with a trip to the Hobs Lobs last night, so…

This is as it should be. Actually. In my world, you should properly be #1. 😁 But we just need to let the rest of the world catch up.

Teresa, that means so much. Thank you!

I'm not sure I'm meant to be #1, but if there's ever a category for "Most Typos Made in a Substack Post," I'd like to believe I have a shot.

However, if the rest of the world does, indeed, show up to my "Buffet of Random Thoughts," I'm happy to add more chairs.

Unless we run out. And then someone's got to sit on the floor.

I am not the least shocked that you are on a list of rising humor writers. However, I am most shocked that you are 21 points below Kathy Griffin. What sort of standards exist in such a world?

The entire list is cheapened by her presence.... so, proceed with caution.

Your streams of consciousness are entwined and punctuated with genuine and clever humor and wit, which seems to effortlessly spill forth from your expansive frontal lobe.

Bob, 
Your words warm my heart.



Thank you for reading, for laughing, for being part of my merry little Substack tribe and for your far too generous assessment of my frontal lobe.

As for Kathy Griffin, I’d love to move up in the rankings—but if severed heads are part of the audition process, I’ll have to respectfully decline. My personal brand of performance art involves offering sarcastic commentary while consuming news, pacing around the room while talking to myself and hitting “publish” before noticing the 12 typos in a post.



Rest assured, though—I shall proceed with caution.
