  14. There are no sick dogs, healthy dogs, dogs spending their last day going to a theme park, dogs speaking, dogs being shamed, dogs chasing stuff, dogs dressed as superheroes, nor hot dogs. Except for that dog in the picture. It is sad. Because you won’t read this list.

  16. This list does not count down the days until holiday x.
  17. This list does not present a picture that you absolutely disagree/agree with that tries to shame/motivate you into liking/sharing to prove you agree/disagree and are therefore a saint/monster/criminal/socialist/good person.

  22. I do not identify as anything I wouldn’t obviously identify as just based on what I appear to be. I’m a bald fat white guy. WYSIWYG.
  23. There are no memes here. Said nobody ever.
  24. Drivers in (insert state name here) will not feel stupid for not knowing this rule.
  25. There are no beach legs, beach feet, beach toes, or beach beers.
  26. There are no ecards featuring vintage hand-drawn people bitching about laundry and not having enough wine to drink.

Robert Pipkin is not a thought leader. He writes stuff sometimes. He’s really good at talking about writing stuff that doesn’t end up getting written.
