As you can imagine, it’s not safe for work. In fact, it’s not safe for home, so it’s best you take your laptop box out into a garden or perhaps a disused quarry and listen to it then. Your trip will be worthwhile, because it’s quite fantastic. Also – expect a Boy Scouts Of America version in a couple of weeks, according to reports and my swear-addled brain.

Tough love, that is.
You may already be somewhat familiar with this story, as previously reported upon by ChillbearLatrigue, our resident man of the badge (police badge, that is, if you’re a slow one) in his delightfully satirical piece, Suspicious Sombreros. Read the rest of this entry →

The more sober astute amongst you may have noticed something slightly strange about Wordsmoker for the past couple of weeks. No, it’s nothing to do with us being bought up by Viacom in a deal literally worth dollars. No – there’s been a distinct absence of me. Long boring story short – my stupid depression caught up with me yet again, so I retreated to my bed to spend some quality time crying and mulling over possible methods of suicide it turns out I’m too scared to attempt. As exciting as this sounds, it isn’t. But there you go.

Are you a heterosexual male who plays videos games? Have you noticed that there are maybe three girls in your area that also like to play video games? Have you never had a girlfriend because of this? Don’t worry, GameCrush.com has got your back.

Congratulations to all of the participants in the past week’s Micro-Fiction Roundup XVIII: The Work We Do That Goes Unappreciated and Unnoticed. Things have been going along swimmingly since we brought this feature back. Personally, I like to see multiple entries from the same people. No 101 word limit can contain these guys. Shall we have a quick look at all of the entries before announcing a winner? We shall. Umm, I really kind of wanted this paragraph to line up with the bottom of the artwork, but it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen. Unless… now! No, damn it. Here are the entries: Read the rest of this entry →

The eruption of the volcano under the Eyjafjallajökull glacier in Iceland spewed an ash cloud that crippled air travel throughout most of Europe for a week. Airlines lost as much as $2 billion, and tens of thousands of travelers were inconvenienced or stranded. More importantly, my first ever overseas business trip had to be canceled. Was there more to Eyjafjallajökull than meets the eye? This Conspiracy Corner is personal.

Rot your tomatoes. Spoil your cabbage. Practice your mob-appropriate hisses. It’s time to watch a video…
April 25, 2010 in I Can Copy And Paste, Micro-Fiction Roundup
It’s time once again for that weekly reminder that you need to post your entry in that weekly contest we call the Micro-Fiction Roundup. Since Chillbear put it so eloquently last week, I’ve simply copied and pasted his last MFR reminder and crossed out the now incorrect details and replaced them with the new, correct information. Following this creatively reconstructed post, used without permission, you’ll find the link to the place you need to go to submit your entry. Read the rest of this entry →

It undeniable that James Cameron’s “Avatar” is the biggest blockbuster so far this century, reportedly taking in nearly three billion dollars in box office world wide. That’s nearly fifty cents per person on the planet. People went again and again, and some poor, demented schmucks even reported feeling extreme depression and suicidal thoughts “when they realize that Pandora, the fictional Utopian planet portrayed in the movie, does not exist.”
I’ve been depressed after a few movies, I will admit. “Grease” even gave me thoughts of suicide until it was finally over. But is “Avatar” really deserving of this kind of mental and emotional collapse? Read the rest of this entry →
