Like many bloggers I have an on-the-go list to record potential post ideas for future use. I’m not convinced that this adds anything to the quality of what I spew out here, but it does sometimes give me something to write about when otherwise my mind is blank.
Here’s a small extract from my list that hints at what you lucky people might be reading here at All That Comes With It over the next few weeks. Warning, contains spoilers:
- Hate having to pay for ketchup
- Pictures of muddy boots
- Dinner vs Lunch
Pretty thrilling stuff eh? Perhaps this blog should come with caveat that it shouldn’t be read by pregnant women and people with heart conditions.
But this list doesn’t always steer me right however. I was flicking through it this evening trying to figure out if I had the energy to post when I noticed a couple of entries I made after waking up at 3am this morning.
- New word: Tonither
- Play on words on Obi-Wan Kenobi: Oh bee? One ken no bee! – work out joke with this as punchline.
It seems that 3am is not my most creative time of the day. Or my most lucid.
Still, after contemplating them for a while I was able to add another idea to my list:
- Lazy post about crap post ideas
Job done.

Actually, I have fairly strong views on the whole lunch/dunner issue being a native Northerner who moved South for 12 years and is currently back in the North. It’s a minefield, I tell ya…

@Sally, Who’s the Mummy, My views are also rather strong, and I battle daily with every other member of my family. You were born in Yorkshire, therefore the afternoon meal is DINNER damnit!!!
As I say, a post is coming.
A-ha! Oldest blogging trick in the book. Write a post about how you don’t know what to write about… I do it quite frequently.
Will look forward to the Obi-Wan joke (you know you’re committed to that one now right?)

@Josie @Sleep is for the Weak, how dare you insinuate I was out of ideas!
I am insulted to my very core.
(I spent about two hours today trying to work out how to make that Obi-Wan joke work. Can’t be done)
You stole my (scraps of paper with scribble on) pending list dude.
.-= SingleParentDad´s last blog ..Signing the homework diary =-.
@SingleParentDad, I thought your list was in the form of a excel spreadsheet?
Very funny! And exactly what I do, too.
.-= Mwa´s last blog ..The Sternum Tales – Final Installment & My library – Part I =-.
@Mwa, even the 3am stuff? I’m pretty sure that’s how all surrealist artists first started: by blearily jotting down ideas in the middle of the night
I have so much crap in my “drafts” folder on Blogger, it ain’t even funny….
@JJ Daddy-O, I actually have no drafts currently, my list is just a set of three or four word trigger sentences.
I have no idea what 80% of them refer to.
I have a few pre-pregnancy drafts just sitting there. Maybe next time around.
.-= Martin´s last blog ..25 =-.
@Martin, I think we’ve all heard quite enough about your semen thank you.
@Dan, I’m oddly hurt…
.-= Martin´s last blog ..25 =-.
@Martin, it’s probably your testicles aching
@Dan, That’s a whole other story.
Still hurt though.
.-= Martin´s last blog ..25 =-.
I wish I had a list! Mine are usually spur of the moment ramblings, which probably explains alot….

@Insomniac Mummy, you can borrow mine if you want.
Crappy comment.
Check.

@Seattledad, follow up comment.

I have a draft post and all it says is “Loud sweary baby horse in the morning me”
Buggered if I know what it’s meant to prompt me to write.
I might have to make something up… it’s sitting there all smug just daring me to.
.-= MrsW´s last blog ..9:30am past the woods and through the fields collecting worms =-.
@MrsW, isn’t that one of the lines from “I am the Walrus”?
I’m wondering how to pronounce “tonither.” Does it start like “tonight?”
.-= Darren´s last blog ..Happy Halloween =-.
@Darren, I think I intended it to be a fusion of “together” and “neither”. I remember seriously thinking it was a great idea for a post.
In the cold light of day I think I was probably wrong.
Ah, the curse of the 3am idea. I have them so often, and they always seem like genius… until you read them again the next morning.
.-= Rol´s last blog ..Comics Come Out =-.
@Rol, I wouldn’t mind if it wasn’t such a disapointmetn that you haven’t come up with next blockbuster movie idea after all.
I wouldn’t bother doing a post on the dinner/lunch argument.
Its dinner.
Everyone else is wrong.
.-= Gary´s last blog ..Mary I, Queen of Scots =-.
@Gary, perhaps you’re right.
PS,
I thought of a fantastic idea for a post when being driven in my brothers car yesterday, we extrapolated it at length during our journey and it was very funny.
Can I remember what it was now ?
Can I heck-as-like
.-= Gary´s last blog ..Mary I, Queen of Scots =-.
A post about ketchup? I can’t wait. Seriously. Ketchup just happens to be one of those things in life that deserves all the attention it can get. And HP Brown Sauce obviously.
.-= Kevin Spencer´s last blog ..Those Kats =-.
@Kevin Spencer, my post involves the fury i experience at havign to pay 5p for one of those tiny sachets of them at cafes.
BASTARDS!!!
Absolutely brilliant and hilariously funny!

@Rosie Scribble, why thank you.
Bravo… thrilling stuff. I too have woken up at 3 a.m. thinking I was more clever than I actually am.

@Jeff, to be fair though Jeff, hamsters wake up at 3am thinking they were more clever than you.
