ha! :: e

e says:  o foof!


confession

I refuse to share my toothbrush with anyone.


dedicated to the scrine regulars :: shady180

I have never felt closer to a group of people, not even in the porta-potties at Bonnaroo.


101 Uses for Nutria, #77 :: 'mouse

Keeping “down there” warm after your partner has talked you into shaving it.


pleasant :: Elisson

I cannot but agree with B. S. Pulley’s definition of a Pleasant Surprise: a tit full of whiskey.


The sentence ain’t over ‘til it reaches that final full-stop :: 'mouse

I can see why some newcomer to Scrine might be a little confused about the one-sentence rule. 


Famous last words: Guest Scriner: Citibank :: 'mouse

Do I hear the ghost of Lehman Brothers (and nearly every other near-death company)… what’s it saying? I can almost hear it now..., yes, I hear it now, “Citigroup says has strong capital, liquidity position.”


One Use for the Word Horny :: Br. Ezra

Most health food stores carry a male enhancement supplement called Horny old Goat Weed, named after the old mountain goats who chow down the scraggly weed growing in the nooks and crannies of said mountains, and then after loosening their belt buckles begin a general mounting of anything that gets in their way.


Calvin and Habersdashery :: Br. Ezra

John Calvin believed haberdashery to be a sin against modesty, and thus the rarefied air of Geneva often smelled of singed hair and the cooked flesh of men’s clothiers burned at the stake by fires fueled with their finest silks and tweeds imported from France, England and occasionally Milan


Dammit, Agnes :: Keith

“Dammit, Agnes just doesn’t work in a song,” Richard O’Brien told the Rocky Horror writers, “so if it’s a cult classic you’re aiming for, I suggest you change the name.”


confession

It disgusts me when people are brushing their teeth and they have tootpaste foam around the corners of their mouths.


confession

I broke up with him for many reasons, but the main reason is that the sight of his toothbrush in my bathroom makes me want to vomit.


Haberdashery (Alternative Scrine) :: Br. Ezra

Haberdashery was a dangerous business during the Great Depression.


The Siegal Tri-Flex Suspender :: Br. Ezra

Haberdashery – a dangerous business in the 1930’s – saw the invention of the Siegal tri-flex suspender as an attempt to keep ones underpants from being spirited away in the night by fellow down-on-their-luck tailors who spent their days mending trousers for dry bread crusts and weak broth in the garment district of any large metropolis.


At the Corner of Wall Street & Kasplatt :: Br. Ezra

Indeed, economics has earned its dubious honor as the dismal science, and those whores called traders and stock brokers- lemmings- because the slightest little upset sends their world plummeting earthward at a tremendous velocity, causing them to leap over the edge of the nearest sky scraper as they join their shared destiny with those worthless scraps of paper – flitting to the ground like leftovers from a ticker tape parade - that their fortunes are written on.


Fire! :: 'mouse

Yes, I did just shout “Fire!” in a, well, in a not-very-crowded stock market… where’d everyone go?


mission possible :: shady180

When I wear my blue-tooth earpiece, I look like I might work for the CIA or maybe even Hardee’s.


Why the devil and I can’t strike a bargain :: 'mouse

“I’d give my left hand to be able to play really good boogie woogie piano.”


and on, and on, and on…. :: OralGrist

“Cor, it’s about time that bloody contest ended!” she thought to herself as she typed in the web address, hit enter, and realized, as she watched the page load…


strive not to be analog :: Jo

Be automatic.


confession

I’m lucky if my toothbrush lasts 30 days before it looks like a fuzzy little piece of hell.


Warning labels I’d like to see :: 'mouse

“When using this product, do not drive a motor vehicle, operate dangerous machinery or use a computer keyboard in any way you may later regret.”


confession

You’re supposed to change your toothbrush every three months?


some things you gotta take on faith :: 'mouse

I don’t believe in airplanes, I don’t believe in the internet, I don’t believe there is a place called Scotland, but I do believe in scotch.


confession

Sometimes I don’t change my toothbrush every three months like I’m supposed to.


The Truisms of Old Wives :: Br. Ezra

I have discovered that there are truths hidden in old clichés – sleep tight don’t let the bed bugs bite is one such example – as creepy things like bed bugs do exist, and likewise it is also true, much to my chagrin, that you can really chap your ass.


paraphrased from a book I picked up randomly at 3am :: 'mouse

Boobs are like Nintendo:  They’re great if your friend has a couple you can come over and play with for hours and hours, but they’re not nearly as fun to own.


rain :: 'mouse

He dreamt of a heavy rain but awoke to find it clear and dry.


Guest Scriner: Hooligan’s Lament :: Keith

Instead of having crusty old, grey suited, businessmen in bowler hats and half moon spectacles, who knew how to keep things uninterestingly stable, we got young upwardly mobile hot shots with sharp suits and Raybans--wise guys who could shoot shit up a drainpipe and blow smoke up your arse more stylishly than a Dagenham exhaust pipe.


the un-dignified :: scott

Hungry though I am, I am also proud and particular and intend, therefore, to stay here in this dark, forgotten house and wait out the long years until vampires are no longer pop culture.


Day of The Bread :: boot

At last his time had come, after years of work, planning hour by hour, piece by piece, crumb by crumb.

would you believe, drunk? :: OralGrist

In re-reading my last scrine post, yes, I do realize diseases don’t breed; heartfelt apologies to my 12th grade English teacher, who is doubtlessly turning in his grave, though hopefully not if he’s still alive.


is there a doctor in the house? :: OralGrist

Dissatisfaction breeds in me like a strange disease; I feel it seeping out my pores some days, others it lies in furtive silence, awaiting its opportunity.


::Guest Scriner Frank Miller::: :: JadedBeauty

With bloody hands, I say goodbye.


strange lunchtime thoughts :: boot

“Some bastard always get to the zed sentence before I do.”


alarm clock :: You can call me, 'Sir'

‘ZOUNDS!’, he cried upon throwing back his bed sheet and discovering the severed head of an alpaca.


What’s up with that? :: Br. Ezra

Clark Kent must be gay--for over 7 years he pined away for Lana when he could have been tapping Chloe--she of the bright smile and great birthing hips--who has shown herself more then willing to play with Clark’’s little man of steel.


Evidence from the Historical Record :: Br. Ezra

Historian Euripides Manheim believed that historically all stupid events were preceded with the words, “Behold my master plan.”


Apartheid :: Br. Ezra

Apartheid Pizza & Pasta is as famous for its politics as it is for its house special – a deep dish half pepperoni and black olive, and half Canadian Bacon and pineapple with each ingredient measured and weighed perfectly, but kept separate by a delicious border of cheese running down the center.


what’s in a name? :: shady180

“Elevator” is a bit of a misnomer as the device not only elevates, it also lowers; the name only tells half the story.


Paradelle for Delilah (a Camry) :: OhNo789

When air rises from my mouth in the cold.
“Warm air rises from my mouth in the cold.”
Autumn leaves protest my passage.
“Autumn leaves protest my passage,
cold passage from warm in the autumn,”
my protest air rises, leaves my mouth.

The windows are covered in a frost.
“The windows are covered in a frost!”
Glove compartment promises, broken,
“Glove compartment promises broken,
promises [a glove] are covered in the
compartment,” broken frost, windows.

“The car failing to start on this of all morning(!)?”
(The car, failing to start on this of all mornings)
“A compact disk skips in its player!”
(A compact disk skips in its player,
A compact car on all its failing mornings)
“Start!” skips in this player of the disk.

“Promises of warm mornings from the car
start covered in leaves, falling passage?”
My protest on this glove, “A Frost! The Cold!”
Air skips, rises in my mouth.
A disk, compact, in its player, broken:
“Autumn, The windows are, compartment, to, all.”


Upton’s Technique :: Br. Ezra

Upton Sinclair fought Capitalism through the proliferation of boring literature.

concrete jungle :: shady180

Frequently, I fight the urge to clack three beer bottles together while chanting: “Warriors....come out and play!” in a sing-song voice.

After reviewing my quarterly statements - I have lost everything contributed YTD - I have decided to retrieve my grandmother’s lumpy depression era mattress from storage, and will start making regular deposits there instead.


confession

“I don’t love you” was the only lie I ever told her.


Oh, Immanuel :: Keith

Velikovsky’s book caused quite a stir more than fifty years ago, causing some frightened skeptics to claim, “He wasn’t there, so how could he possibly know?”


The “I work from home” guy :: OhNo789

Even though he knew that it wouldn’t help, Toby always found himself hitting the right arrow button while installing things that were to take over five minutes; what else was he to do?

Ultimately, pretty much everything you need to know is summed up in that book by Nabakov.


Not Ambitious :: Jo

I’ve spent most of my adult life as a student; it’s not entirely worth it just to get the discounted software.


recession depression :: 'mouse

When all your investments, and even your bank disappear, that is a recession; when Vikram Pandit, aka “The Bandit,” head of Citibank, appears wearing his bandit mask in your nightmares, that is a depression.


Family Secrets :: Keith

If he doesn’t get up, and I happen to have just gotten out of the shower, he gets a dose of the naked banjo player.

I rarely walk around naked in the winter, or in any other season for that matter.


movement :: boot

no gnus is good gnus

Timmy loved his tortoise, but late at night would sometimes find himself wishing he’d bought the gnu.


Bunni’s Retirement Plan :: Bunni

Rather than move to Boca, I plan to buy a tank chair, get it kitted out at the local gun show, lie in wait at the local supermarket for disabled parking spot poachers and then SPRING UPON MY PREY-guns blazing shrieking, “That’s Handi-CAPABLE you MOFOS!”


confession

Over the weekend, I pulled a groin muscle.....it wasn’t mine.


like hamster on a wheel. :: JadedBeauty

Self-destruction was imminent, but at least her gratification was instant.


Here’s looking at you, Nancy :: 'mouse

It’s one thing to be a good, old-fashioned, pro-union Democrat, but it’s a whole nuther thing when you forget who your constituents are and become the unions’ bitch, Ms. Pelosi.


Places I would rather spend Thanksgiving now that I know that my mothers boyfriend is coming :: Bunni

A blood soaked abattoir filled with zombie strippers battling gay vampires for the rights to the peloti rules as part of their bioterrorist plan to unleash a highly virulent form of whooping cough on the world.

I’m old and stupid, but I’m pretty sure the LOL-style-guide states “do not use in suicide notes” :: 'mouse

How the hell is a 14-year-old girl supposed to decode and properly respond to the email that begins, “LOL, this is it, tell S---- and S------ I’m sorry.”


Barry Bonds C-Notes :: Keith

In the dream, putting athlete’s names of hundred dollar bills seemed like a great idea because when you went to the ballpark, for instance, you could pull out one of those bills and say something like, “Hey guys, I bet I can buy about 25 hot dogs with this Barry Bonds C-note, which he might easily have just earned in that short time he thought no one was looking and scratched his crotch,” but of course, after a cup of coffee or two this morning, I see it was just that cynical subconscious of mine, looking for ways to get me in trouble with the government.


confession

I get really, really, really angry when people don’t do what they say.


Roses are red, igloos are blue :: boot

Rose petals rained down gently from the sky, making the most hypnotic patter imaginable, while the young girl danced over the shiny iced landscape and sung soothing songs to the stars.

Guest Scriner: Billy Collins :: A Paradelle For Susan :: OhNo789

I remember the quick, nervous bird of your love.


And I, Will Always Love You :: Keith

Thanks for nothing, spam, because your email “The little man in your pants will be your bodyguard” has done nothing at all for me except make me hear Whitney Houston songs in my head every time I go to the bathroom.


an hour I’ll never get back :: OralGrist

Queen Rudolfa suggested that Umberto Vallencio (womanizer, xenophobe, Yes-man, zebra-trainer and bartender) crafted deadly euphemisms; fairly good, he invented Jamaica’s King Leonard’s mephitic nickname of “piddler”.

The little (big) seagull who couldn’t: part 2 of x :: OhNo789

He padded down the boardwalk in the early gray hours of the morning and looked first to the corn dog stand, then to the “amusement” rides, and finally to a wet orangy-red spot on the wood; he then padded on over to the spot and began to eat last night’s leftovers.


The little (big) seagull who couldn’t: part 1 of x :: OhNo789

Easily the best line I’ve read in the news all day (guest scriner:  Daniel Flynn, Reuters) :: bakerina

“Other one-liners in Philogelos may baffle a modern audience, such as a series of jokes about a lettuce, which only make sense in light of the ancient belief it was an aphrodisiac.”

Booze and Due Dates :: OhNo789

Caleb slumped down in his easy chair with a bottle of gin in his left and a 40 page paper in his right; with one flick of his wrist he flung all 39.7 pages into the dying fire, and even though it was worthless, in those last fleeting seconds of the paper’s life it seemed to warm him, or was that the gin?


scab :: OralGrist
