In a place where everyone is tight-lipped, tight-arsed and over-elaborate, a nice chunk of basic craziness is what is needed.

Shame you ended it so quick!
someones also been reading maddox by the sounds of it, thats who i imidiatly thought of lol

As for the story, i enjoy a little nonsensical odd stuff every so often, but it has to be written legibly, or well enough to keep the person wanting to read.

Didn't read it all yet, but found the first post really funny. Like early gohn67 work with maybe a bit more attitude and less metaphor. Could use an edit. But the immature style kind of works for it.

I think this story should be cast down into the fiery pits of hell... Maybe someone down there is bored enough to want to read this story, without gouging their eyeballs out, 'cuz I came damn close to doing so myself. I feel slightly defiled after reading this...

Sorry mate, not trying to be harsh, but it's oh so true...

PEACE

"Alien trouble eh?" responded Bobby.

"Yeah." said Mark "Alien Fuxxer just busted me roof!"

"Cripes!" said Bobby "Thats a real pain up the rectum! Do you want me to bring the old Panzerfaust down?"

"No!" shouted Mark angrily. "Im sick of you and your Fuxxing Bazookas!"


I thought this story was hilarious back when you first posted it, and I still do. Good work.

Bits of it are genius. I like characters who over use the f-word becuase I'm kind of immature that way. It makes me laugh. This would be a funny story if it was just better written. You ought to look back through it and fix up a couple things. Some words are irrelevant causing sentences to get a little mixed up. The story would make for a wonderful 1000 word or so story, just work at it. Cheers!

When I first read this all I could say was 'what?'. (I actually cursed, but that's irrelevant.) I had to read it over to make sure I read it right the first time. I couldn't stop laughing after the re-read. Good stuff, odd, but good.
