Leash Slinger Mugs

'Yo Bitch' - 'Nice Ass'

The writer: something who devotes a lifetime of solitude to the same of communication.

"I'm not growling, it's my stomach rumbling!"

'Just taking the dog for a walk, Dear.'

'As a famous writer, could you do something to help jumpstart my career?'

"Don't even think about it."

''I couldn't wait any longer.''

"Your editor called again to see if the well was still dry."

"Humans are strange."

'Technically, he's on a leash, so I say we let this one go.'

"I've been calling, but he's not picking up."

Meet the author

"Abbreviations here, abbreviations there, and one is more incomprehensible than the next!"

"It all happened so fast. 'Notable Book of the Year' to the remainder shelves to HERE in just six months!"

"First they taught me how to pee on the newspaper. Then they taught me how to fetch it. I reversed the sequence by accident and I've been out here since."

"I've read all your books and seen all your plays, and I wear your 'Gimme' cap."

"We're looking for a 5000 step walk."

"No wonder you can't write, you're not plugged in!"

'That beagle sure is a tough case!'

'After three years of writer's block, I began writing about writer's block.'

'The first thing we will do is select a block captain.'

"Is your dog friendly?!"

'Bad dog- I said WALKIES!'

'Don't get me wrong, the professional dog-walker is nice, but it is not really the same as if my Master was walking me...'

"We keep revisiting this leash thing... Why is it so difficult for him?"

"Not really. I went on the green carpet just before we came out."

"I just want to say thanks for getting me into this writing group."

So you've lost your journalism job. Yep and my freelance contracts. House of Java.net Cybercafe. Free distribution of information is driving publishers out of business. I can't compete against thousands of free blogs. Twenty years I spent learning to be a professional journalist and I'm a dinosaur. What'd you say? I was reading Gawker. Shoot me.

'Shh, Ben's running it right to us. That's his 'I've got everything under control' howl.'

"Love the tie, Chad—that is so pimp!"
