So a short while ago Brent D over at the Ominous Comma put out a challenge to humor bloggers. So why have I taken it up you ask… well ha-ha very funny you really know how to hurt a guy don’t you. The challenge was to write a post or something similar in the vein of helping people to blog. Because that’s what the world needs isn’t it, more bloggers.
But never being one to pass up a chance to steal an idea here I am, ready and willing to help out all those who can’t come up with ideas for themselves… hmmm is that irony. Eh who cares? What have I come up with, what juicy piece of help, have I scrounged up from my insipid little brain to share with all of you.
How many times have you been writing a post, or trying to start one and you just can’t think of anything. Racking your imagination for even the tiniest morsel of creativity, you find nothing, nothing. Aren’t you stupid. But what is the problem, well it’s you, because you’re going through your mind.
The solution, W.W.J.D, yes that’s right kids What Would Jesus Do? Well maybe not Jesus, there aren’t many situations were getting everyone drunk and feeding them fish sandwiches is going to be the key to solving the problem. That’s why I’m here to show you how to solve the problem. Let’s stick with the W.W.J.D formula but change up the person. Think of it as searching for your own muse, handpicking your own creative source to turn to when you feel the stupid wash over you.
I’ve tried many people; I had W.W.C.D, which was What Would Columbo Do? That wasn’t as handy has it might have been, since I just ended up hitting the sauce pretty hard and not showering for a few weeks at a time. I did solve a few murders but you have to make a choice, solving crime or personal hygiene.
I turned next to an old favourite W.W.I.D, in which I put myself into Isaac from The Loveboats shoes. And another failure, my suave nature and smooth moves helped me with the ladies and mending broken relationships, mostly with the help of strong fruity cocktails. But on the blogging front no help. Who knew Isaac was completely illiterate.
Then there was W.W.G.M.P.M.D, maybe the least helpful of all my muse selections. Asking yourself what would a Giant Monkey Prey Mantis do, doesn’t tend to aid you in creating blog posts. Smashing cities to the ground, destroying the hopes and dreams of the working class, with its powerful laser beam eyes of simian insectiod rage, maybe. Coming up with something witty for people to read and smirk at, not so much.
Where did I turn next, ah yes a personal favourite, W.W.R.S.D. Famous Hollywood cinematographer and owner of my favourite name in the history of the world 'Reed Smoot'. What would Reed do?
REED SMOOT!
But not knowing Reed, having never met him I assume that he would probably just start making disparaging remarks about people and their sexual habits. Because lets face it, it doesn’t take to much original thought to say that Molly Ringwald has a thing for Raccoons.
Which I guess is my point, if you’re stuck for ideas try putting yourself in other people’s shoes, go through your thoughts differently. Failing that just say that Tom Cruise interferes with anteaters. Everyone can laugh at that.

4 bourgeois whispers:
reed smoot? what a fantastic name!
Nursemyra- Its almost as good as Quinton Fortune (soccer player) isnt it.
That blasted Tom Cruise. Every time I think he can do no more harm, I find out something like this.
Excellent job at rising to The Challenge by the way.
Brent- I know in my heart... well maybe not heart, maybe a bit lower, I know in my colon I really helped people.
