Where do blog posts come from?

A common question people haven't asked us is where our blog posts come from. We will gladly explain: when Calvin and Jared love an idea very much, they get together and create a beautiful blog post! Here are most of our inspiration sources (in quick hits):

Source 1. Wouldn't it be funny if we wrote about....

One of us thinks something is funny. The other agrees. Print it.

Source 2. Personal experience

Wow, something funny happened in my life, people must be informed of this rare occurrence.

Source 3. Other people's experience

My life isn't funny enough, so I have to live my humor through other people.

Source 4. Reader's Suggestions

Readers ask us questions. Readers also complain. We respond with a vengence. (or in rare cases, with two vengences)

Source 5. Current events

Where would our blog be without the recession?

Source 6. Parents

Amy Chua demands the best from us.

Source 7. Deadlines

It's 2 am, let's just throw something together and hope people think it's funny.

Source 8. The Onion

Calvin has an onion that he bought from C-Mart 5 years ago.

And that's it. There really isn't much to the creative process. Inspiration comes and we write. We do what we love for our reader(s) and for humor's sake. Thank God for that onion.
