My people, they have but one bunghole

Extra extra extra tired today. Thus I talk to anyone and everyone to keep myself awake. This does not lead to quality work, but does lead to some fun creativity. Follow this thought process:

I’m talking to my friend Michelle. She says she needs to go eat lunch before she passes out. I keep talking because if I don’t I’LL pass out. Eventually I hit a lull and tell her to go eat a burrito

Burrito

Burrito makes me think of burro.

Burrito
Burro

Burro is a fun word. It makes me think of a really long trilled R. Burrrrrrrrro

Burrito
Burro
Burrrrrrrrrrro

Trilled Rs make me think of Roberto. Flicking that R right at the beginning.

Burrito
Burro
Burrrrrrrrrrro
Roberto

Roberto morphs into Boberto

Boberto

I am changing the name of the main character in WHAT’S BEHIND THE CROOKED DOOR? from Brian to Rob just so I can have a character call him Boberto.

This name is awesome. Envy Boberto. He gets all the chicks.

    Are you inside my head? Because I have these kinds of thoughts ALL THE TIME. And not just when I'm tired.

    I've always loved the word burro. I don't know what your book's about, but maybe Boberto could have a burro as a pet. What do you think?

    Boberto is the main character in WHAT'S BEHIND THE CROOKED DOOR? so a burro will have to be included. The animals in that book are anthropomorphized, so it won't be a pet.
