My imagination takes me, to places where nobody has
boldly gone before. I come up with ideas, that are shocking to me as they enter my head, etc. In the creative world, I started out as a woodcarver, and this when I started putting my imagination to work. During that 30 year period, I created some of the most creative pieces, and they sold, too.
A little black bear cub sitting in a red and white high chair; a lion sittine in a bath tub; a VW with tow front ends; a caterpillar on a tree branch wearing a brown derby; parents running away from home; a wooden skunk hold a sign which read, "Help Stop Pollution"; a flu bug sick in beg with the flu and on and on.
When I swiched over to the writing world in 2066, I continued to use my imagination to write an article; an article title; and the treatment of an article. Below, is a list of article and article titles, that I have used my imagination to write and post the article.

"Imagination is everything. It's a preview of life's coming attraction." George Orwell
I can tell the reader, that the following articles, have required the use of my imagination; treatment; and exageration, which is a big part of humor;
Auto Racing; Ladies; Start Your Engines;
This is the treatment I gave this piece...
This is one of my most imaginative pieces, as none of it is true . I put my imagination to the test on this one. This piece is about 33 women drivers at the Indy 500 Race in Indiana. All 33 of the drivers in the race are women; mechanics and owners. The amusing part of this piece are the names I gave to the women drivers, and I had to stretch my imagingation to do this. Women's names such as the following; April Showers; Susan SuranWRAP; Robyn Hood; Kitty Litter; Penny Arcade; Savanna Georgia; Madison Avenue; Candy Barr; Betty Krocker; Sara Leigh; Crystal Bahl; Misty Moonlight; Jane Doe; Rose Budde; Billye Goat; Kelly Kelly; Brooke Trout; Mia Culpa;
"You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus." Mark Twain
The SpaMoble Has Arrived;
This piece has to be a piece full of nonsense. This piece is filled with off the wall; the ridiculouse; the useless...but I like it. Here, I introduce the Spam-O-Gram; the government network...C-SPAN was changed to C-SPAM AND ON AND ON.
The Funny Farm Gift Shop;
This has to be the most ridiculouse page I've ever composed. And, to do this, I had to dig down deep into my imagination. If you want a designer straight-jacket in your favorite color...you've come to the right place. This page is the silliest...the sillier the better...
"Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were...but without it, we go nowhere.: Carl Sagan
You Say Tomato; I Say Tomater;
This is one of the silliest pages I've ever written. I live in the state of New Mexico, which is located in the southwestern United States. My travels have been limited, as the farthest south I've ever been is San Antonio, Texas, for boot camp while in the Air Force. the farthest ease I've ever been is Kansas City, Missouri. So, to write this piece, I had to rely on my imagination as to how people talk in far away places. Example follows;
In the north: "My favorite winter sport is ice skating."
In the south; "My favorite winter sport is ass-skatin."
Don't Golf My Way;
I played golf for about five years, and the golf courses have never been the same, when I am through with them. I didn't call it playing golf...I did what the Corp of Engineers do...reclumation. I think I was banned from every golf course in Albuquerque, because I was so destructive. This is another piece in which I had to strect the truth or use my imagination to get a laugh or two.
"Imagination rules the world." Napoleon Bonaparte
Easy On the Mayo;
This is another true story...but, in telling it, I had to use my imagination to give it a little frosting around the edges. One of my writing instructors read this piece, and she worte back and told me, that she almost fell of the chair when she read this piece.
Felix Navidar; (Merry Christmal)
This is another second-hand story that I got, that was told to me by someone else. This makes a piece harder to write, so I had to use my imagination on this one, too. This is also a true story, and, as it was told to me, this was a hiliarious story. To write this piece, I had to connect the dots...fill in the blanks, and I used my imagination to do it.
"I paint objects as I think them...not as I see them." Pablo Picasso
Funny Money;
This is another true story, but, when the dust settled, it was a pretty funny story. This woman ordered her lunch at a fast-food restrurant, and while she waited for her order...the place was surrounded by police and FBI agents with guns drawn. In this piece, I had to fill in a few of the blankl with my treatment of the story told to me by a woman at the MVD department.
Halloween Party; The Two-Headed Monster;
I put this piece on this list, because this is my #1 article, having been published on more than 40 websites on the Internet. This piece has also been listed on the Authors Den Featured Page for over two years! Amazing! The imagination on this piece, came in on how to use or to treat this piece.
Normal Is Highly Over-rated:
This was another difficult piece to write, and it probably took me months to gather up all the facts and notes to write this piece. My imagination came in, as I had to decide what will be on the list. So, I took notes for several week to get the list.
The Many Health Benefits of Exercise;
Of the 360+ articles now on hand, this is the only piece, that went from a serious and straight-forward piece when I wrote it...to a silly piece when I finished it. You see, I have to write a piece, and than it has to stand on its own, before I add quotes or anything else.
After I finished this piece, I went out on the Internet, and found some of the funniest quotes, from some of the funniest people in the land like Bob Hope; Robin Williams; Rodney Dangerfield; Phyliss Diller; Lucy; Joan Rivers and Hillary Clinton. And don't forget one of the funniest men on the planet...Henry Kissinger. (ouch!)
