I thought I’d create a tumblr today instead of writing because I’m in that kind of mood. I thought I had a brilliant idea as I was trolling around. It was a light bulb moment as Oprah would say…
I thought, “My God, I have it!”
I’ll create a tumblr called, “Babies that Look Like Patton Oswalt.”
It’s feckin’ genius…
I mean come on…
There’s this baby:
And this one…
I mean, come on!
I was feeling really good about it until I found out… THIS IDEA ALREADY FECKIN’ EXISTS. NOOOOOOOOOOO!
Is there an original thought left in the universe?
I don’t know, but I know I’m not going to find it today.
That’s all.

Sweet Mother 
Hahaha! Oh my gosh. How is that already a thing? The answer is no: there are no original thoughts left.
none. we are all just empty nooks and crannies waiting to be buttered. wait, what? and i mean, can you believe this is a THING? looool
I used to think I was the only person who thought Hellboy looked exactly like Ted Danson. Turns out, that’s a thing too 😦 Googled it and had my bubble burst.
i went as far as registering the tumblr only to be met with ‘this user name already exists…’ nooooooooo!
I’ve ALWAYS thought that too!
It seems every time I think I have a brilliant plan or idea I will start working on it and before I finish up will pop 3 other people with the same idea … already finished. This is the most original idea I have seen for awhile http://buymylastname.com/ . Very clever.
okay, this guy is f’en brilliant! why have i never heard of this guy before? it’s absolutely frickin’ brilliant. holy toledo. he’s some kind of marketing genius…
I know! I was saying the same thing.
i mean, it’s ridiculous… i’m going to look into him a bit more. fascinating.
I feel a SM blog coming our way 😉
SM,
The Ringmistress and I thought we had this great idea one day: let’s make a super baby… With her genes and mine, we thought we’s create a new breed. Then came Tiny Geek. A new breed alright. The type that doesn’t sleep. Like all the other babies… Like all other parents…

PS: Man, I didn’t even know who Patton Oswalt was before reading your post…
‘young adult’ by diablo cody. her follow up to ‘juno.’ absolutely brilliant film and patton has a big part in it. he’s also a brilliant comedian, but he does look like a baby and i still can’t believe i didn’t come up with that idea first. sigh. as for making babies… well, i leave that to you all… tho wifesy and i keep trying. bwaaahhhaaaa. xo
It’s been said there are no new story ideas, only new ways to tell them. But your options might be even more limited with a tumblr. 😉
But you’re doing NaNo—so no tumblr before December 1!
nano has become my albatross! but, i am working it… slowly, ever so slowly… loool. xo
Ha! I love this one. Short and sweet. 🙂
i need to write haikus for you. or just write one letter and call it a day… i’ll call it the ‘wendy post’ and the body content will just be “F”. I’ll let you guess what that stands for… xo
I would reblog that! 🙂 xo
fuck me gently with a chainsaw, now THIS is funny.
seriously, right. i can’t believe someone came up with it first, which means i need that chainsaw. and ouch. looool. xo
It is genius, just because you didn’t think it first doesn’t make it less genius.
first is like a thing on the internet. and i’m usually second. sigh. a genius second. (sometimes) loool. but, second. xoxox
I have this theory that all babies look like Winston Churchill, and apparently THAT’S already a thing too
I knew that baby looked like someone – thanks for being the FIRST to tell me who it was. I work in PD at a T-shirt company and people are always sending in ideas we have already made – great minds think alike, I guess:)
lmao – may not be original but it was very funny anyway. 😉
I wonder how Patton Oswalt feels about his baby-comparisons. I mean, they’re there, definitely. And they’re awesome. And I doubt he has many delusions of Clooneyness, but I bet sometimes when he’s down he thinks, “Aw, jeez. I’m a grown man who looks like an angry baby.” Then he remembers he’s Patton F***ing Oswalt and hopefully feels a lot better.
Try again. Maybe you could tweak it and the idea could be tomatoes, potatoes, and other produce that look like Patton Oswalt.
hahaha…look at the babies..
I hate it when someone preempts my brilliance.
