Why are they called “Earbuds”?

Hiya, Fluffsters!

So. Something that I hadn’t really thought about before.

Why on earth are “earbuds” called “earbuds”?

Well, I came up with a couple of different explanations.

Here we go again…

Explanation 1: They are harvested from the Ear Tree Dr. Frankenstein used to get ears for his monster.

Explanation 1b: They are converted from elephant-ear plants.

…And here we went again.

Explanation 2: They are actually harvested from ears that have made music. In this case, a person with music knowledge thinks really hard about all the music that might possibly occur to anyone else. Their thoughts are so strong, the person’s ears “bud”. The buds are then able to play the music, when linked with someone else’s telepathic interface, or the music player.

I think I’m liking this explanation the best.

I do not understand how this happens, Webmaster. I am not even from your world, and I have a better understand of your world’s technology than you do. I am serious- how did this happen?

Maybe you just lack the ability to understand the creative responses, Fluffy.

…I am not responding to this.

And yet, readers, you might note that she did.

Anyways, happy Monday!

Hiya, Fluffsters!

So. I think I’ve mentioned the AVByte Brother’s work before.

Maybe not. I don’t quite remember.

Anyways, they make 2-3 minute musical-y thingies, and they have a new one up. This one’s about “Fandoms.” It features characters from The Hobbit, Hunger Games, Harry Potter, Star Wars, Pirates… In other words, it’s great. Enjoy!

Greetings, readers!

First, I bid you a happy Wednesday.

Next, in honor of the Webmaster’s “resolution” for this website, here is a short story. Or, rather, a flash fiction piece, inspired by a friend, many years ago.

Staring at the fire melting away the family’s fortune, the man sighed.

“Note to self,” he said through the smoke, “pillage first, and then burn.”

A Guide to Writing

Hiya, Fluffsters!

Good news! I found a way that my writing will get better quickly!

The famous author Neil Gaiman posted a guide for how to write. So all I’ll need to do is follow the instructions, and I’ll get better magically!

I wish he said where the mountain was, but oh well. I have time. And maybe someday, I’ll find the magic cows.

Happy Monday!
