I am composed 100% of matter, please keep your antimatter away from me. I tend to write by putting letters together to form words, then putting words together into sentences which more or less conform to certain rules of grammar. I know it’s unusual – but it’s a process that works for me.

For me, the funniest name for any animal has to be 'wombat'. That's no regular bat, it's a wombat. But wombats don't get the respect they deserve. A little wombat trivia: Wombats make cubic feces. What talent! I'd like to hear the following phrases used in ordinary conversation: "Shut up and pass the wombat." "Did you enjoy your wombat?" "Where's wombat?" There is a British anti-tank rifle called the Wombat. I wonder If they call it the 'Combat Wombat'. You...

Voters in Switzerland have banned nude hiking in the Alps. Apparently the hills were alive with more than the sound of music. Mostly German hikers had been trudging through the countryside wearing only boots and socks. This begs the question, “Where do they leave their lederhosen?” Only a small group of people showed up to protest the ban - mostly middle aged guys in trench-coats carrying binoculars, lotion, and tissues.

This seems like a good snippet of a short story - a description of a particular scene. The first sentence needs a re-write: "The air around me produced a kind of ripple affect". First, you mean effect not affect. Second, it's probably not the air causing the ripple effect but the air is a medium. A better choice might be, "I suddenly became aware of a ripple in the air around me. The rest of the piece is stronger. I would avoid cliche phrases like, "that's what they all say." How can you writ...
This is hilarious on multiple levels - and I love to see this published somewhere. First: You poke fun of the whole advice letter paradigm, but also the publishing industry. And the whole thing culminates in a masturbation joke. Bravo. I love the classic "humor from misunderstanding" take. I also really like the eniding.
First let me say that I find the word "wombat" to be hilarious to begin with. Good job. I think you did an excellent job of capturing a feeling of rambling craziness while keeping it funny. I like this piece and I can see reading it as a monologue.
