This bit is rather old, but I recently found it again and thought I'd share it with all our writers out there:

The Bulwer-Lytton fiction contest was started in 1982 by the English Department at San Jose State University to honor the Victorian novelist who opened his 1830 novel "Paul Clifford" with what were to become the immortal words, "It was a dark and stormy night."

The 2006 runner-up in this for-fun bad-writing competition wrote a parody of the famous lines from Clint Eastwood's film Dirty Harry:

"I know what you're thinking, punk," hissed Wordy Harry to his new editor, "you're thinking, 'Did he use six superfluous adjectives or only five?' -- and to tell the truth, I forgot myself in all this excitement; but being as this is English, the most powerful language in the world, whose subtle nuances will blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?"

LOL! to everyone!!!

That's good, ramgut! Although the cat is kinda looking at the cell phone like, "Why are you sitting on me?"

this pic is SO funny!

This from this evening's news, about an ice cream eating pet deer:

The words, "Yes, dear," have a whole new meaning in one Ohio household.

This family has a deer living inside their house.

Dillie the deer has lived with the Buteras in Canal Fulton, Ohio, for the past five years. Abandoned by her mother at birth, because the mother incorrectly thought she was blind, Dillie has since become part of another family - a family of humans.

...Dillie has adjusted to living indoors, eating pasta and ice cream - and even swimming in the family pool.

The whole article is here.

@ everyone.

Now, for some Herman.

Y'all, these are great!

I don't know if you'll think this is as funny as I did, but here's something that happened to me recently:

I recently was promoted to Moderator at another website, which if you want to check it out is Horse Isle. It's a non-violent game where you catch and train your horses and communicate with other players in chats, like IM. The game is all in 2D and the graphic aren't entirely up to date, but it's a lot more fun then it looks.
However, though everyone from a few 3 year old's to adults love to play it, the majority of players are about Middle School.

Anyway, someone who I had several times in the last few minutes had to talk to about her behavior PMs me. She's complaining that someone is insulting her in PM, and she wants me to stop them. I can't see their PMs of course, so I give her the usual, "If she's annoying you, mute her, and if she's breaking the rules, report her."
She says back, "I don't want to report her! And I am, isn't that what you're here for?"
"No, that's not what I'm here for. If she's breaking the rules, hit the report button in the player list and fill out the form." Blessed silence for a minute.
Then comes the capper, "I'm 4' 8" and [Player-name] just called me little! And I'm insulted!!!"

Thats sooo funny Watziznehm!!!!

That is hilarious Lady courage! ( about the person that reported the other player)
