I'm not eloping with it yet, but, YES, I like it a LOT more than the other two.

That tentative title (Tales From the Back of my Head) seems to have hit a positive note.

On the basis that you can't have too much of a good thing , how about:

Toothpicks & Weiners: Tales from the Back of my Head


I like collections to be obviously collections, hence the subtitle. The combination of "Toothpicks & Weiners" I like because, while they do sort of go together, they are unexpected in a book title and so (hopefully) attention getting. I also like that the sort of double meaning: small-things = short-stories, as well as being references to two of the stories.

Let me play with that idea. There's something about it that's teasing my nose hairs. (That's a good thing!)

Thank you for the idea!

Check out this title of short, pithy pieces. (Most of mine are much longer):

https://www.amazon.com/Sawn-Off-Tale...Gaffney+kindle

It has an interesting title, suggesting shorter works. I find it to be a unique title, one that is very playful.

Just a minor nitpick: weiner should probably read wiener if it refers to a wienerwurst.

The research was very confusing on this, but a hot dog is the subject of one piece of Flash Fiction.

I bow to your expertise!

Wiener it is! Wiener it shall be! And wiener it always will be!

Seriously: I'm changing the spelling to the one you list.

Toothpicks & Weiners: Tales from the Back of my Head
I'm picturing a 60's-era cocktail party, complete with updo's, full skirts on the dresses, hosiery and heels, men in suits with the wee decorative pocket hankies, and trays of dreadful hors d'oeuvres being handed around...wee pigs in blankets, grease soaking into the Pillsbury Doughboy's contribution to the fine dish, skewered by the omnipresent toothpick with cello on the end. Your man in Havana, hammered, falls over backward, and plants his head in the middle of aforementioned tray.

Yup, that's what I am getting.

I am pleased it wasn't just me. I almost posted a follow up suggestion of "Cocktail Party: Toothpicks from the Back of my Head" from a very similar line of thought.

See? Proof positive, I'm sane. (Well, okay, THAT's a stretch. Sane on this topic, anyway.)
