@RDansky HAH! Yes, I played Skyrim into oblivion, too…but not like this guy — Skyrim’s first serial killer!: kotaku.com/5863096/a-peek…
I ate a Hostess cupcake into oblivion today, too, btw. OBLIVION. It was ugly. It ain’t coming back. Not even on my waistline.
@RDSPress No better feeling than obliviating a to do list item. I don’t ‘check’ my list, though. I scratch each line into oblivion.
@snarkdogg I believe the phrase ‘pickles into oblivion’ is a euphemism of some kind. But yes…do it like that!
Persist…into oblivion! :-)
@Horror_Nerd @Tweet_Shrieks My advice? Submit to an editor and trust them to decide if the world is ready for it or not. PERSIST.
The journal PARA*DOXA: Studies in World Literary Genres is calling for academic papers on “Espionage” literature: paradoxa.com/cfp-espionage.…
Phrase for the month: “into oblivion.” Append it to random statements in everyday life with abandon. (“With abandon” was last month’s!)
