Auto-SummaryThe author is sharing the creative process behind one of their humorous posts, which started as an impulse to frame the perception of boner pills in a funny way. They describe their thought process as a rapid-fire series of mental images and ideas that emerge when they're inspired, which they call the "concept." This concept can be a foundation for a joke or a humorous story, and they often try to build upon it quickly before the momentum is lost. In this case, the concept led to a humorous anecdote about a "Local Mogul" who hires a person to carry his hat, but the author had to keep adding to the story to make it funny and engaging. They explain that their creative process is influenced by their mood and overall well-being, and that they try to let go of their thoughts and let the ideas flow freely.
1NFIN8, this is good news! I hope she gets the very best treatment so she can move on to a wonderful life!
Morel_Mike, Their sound is awesome! Full and rich! The riffs are so damn catchy!
TM, thanks, man! I try to go for 100% original on the spot, but sometimes I reuse something I have said before to make someone laugh. I'm not sure how it works but I know how it feels. It's a strong impulse when I see or read something that strikes a certain nerve. That part, I can't explain very well. It's a similar feeling to the need that accompanies a habit. Like, when our brain rings the bell then it's habit havin' time. Sometimes, it will take my breath for a second. Other times it will cause me to stutter if it hits me during a serious conversation. Other times, when I'm listening to someone, it comes on as a wave of heat if I catch something in their dialogue. I don't how to explain that part any better since I don't have words for this internal language that is tied to these mechanisms.
My overall well-being plays into how well it works or how much thought I have to put into it. When I feel the impulse, I "let go" of my thoughts. My thoughts race for a split second before they turn into moving pictures. Like a daydream. The moving pictures rapidly morph into a "concept". Sometimes the initial "concept" makes me laugh instantly. Sometimes I have to ad lib while I'm typing it. If I type before the "concept" is finished, the act of typing will allow enough time for my brain to finish. Like crossing a canyon with no visible bridge but the tiles of the bridge materialize under foot with each step.
If I'm saying it aloud in a room with someone, I have to gauge the speed of my speech because I'll outrun the daydream.
Once the foundation is there, it becomes even easier to build goofy shit on it. Warming the engine is the hardest part if I don't feel great. Once it starts rolling, I let go and let it materialize in my mind.
So, for example, the boner pill thing. Here is the anatomy of that. It started as an impulse to frame the perception of the excessive availability of these pills in a funny way. Lean into them! Use them as the performance enhancing drug that they were designed to be but take it to market like the greedy little piggies we are. The "concept" or foundation became the money maker line. I was listening to music at the time so that sentence has a rhythm in the way it's worded. I was thinking "Step Right Up" by Tom Waits.
Now, what is an absurd way to consume an abundance of boner pills? The daydream provided a few different pictures of what that would look like. I settled for the line you read about the morning bucket since the others would be difficult to explain in a funny way. They were funny but only as moving pictures, not as text. I can't spend too much time grabbing ahold of the thought to come up with something funny because it doesn't feel natural. Momentum lost.
Since we are all primed up, time to find some gainful employment. What type of person would have disposable income to afford to employ a nuisance boner? A really rich guy! But old money rich. Top hat & monocle type of rich! A mogul of some kind. Well, this ain't a traveling gig since TSA isn't gonna let me on a plane with this weapon and driving is out of the question on account of the lack of visibility from sitting behind this thing so it's gonna have to be a local gig. A Local Mogul! "Local Mogul" slides around in your mouth like a piece of hard candy. But that's not funny on it's own. Fun to say. Not funny. What type of mogul? How did his family build their fortune? Gotta be goofy. Garlic Bread! A local garlic bread mogul. Ah yes. The original old world recipe from back in the year 1234 A.D.
That top hat isn't going to be able to find a proper hat rack in this town so now I have a service to provide! The only requirement is that I stay within arm reach of wherever the mogul needs to be. I pictured this old banker looking guy, like one of the bankers from Mary Poppins, sitting at a meeting around a big hardwood (heh heh) table. There I am, the self-propelled hat rack, hands behind my back, top hat hanging on my hat hanger, but I'm right next to him as he's seated in the chair. The hat is no more than an inch or two from his face! Ha!
I can't just go around to business meetings all the time. That would become boring. Listening to them drone on about the garlic bread market. Might be enough to make me drop the hat! You know, anything worth doing is worth doing right! So I decided to mix it up a little. They say if you love your job, you'll never work a day in your life. I'm sure I could mix business with pleasure somehow. The boys down at the bar sure could use a door stop until they get the hinges fixed on their door. I'll pop up this week and pay off my tab in trade. Door stop at the local bar!
Tie a bow on it (the story, not my appendage) with a moral. Don't cheat yourself. There... Sounds wholesome.
Anyway, if you read all of this, good on ya! Thanks for staying with me! The original post came together in a minute or so. Once I had the "concept", I kept typing as it all came together like that bridge I mentioned.
I'd like to say that I will try to keep you entertained with this silly shit, but it doesn't work that way. It has to appear all on it's own.
Thanks for letting me know you guys enjoy it
