All sorts of semi-random nifty bits
First off, something I include here because it's one of the few pieces of original writing I've done that I'm actually fairly proud of. In my Senior year of high school, my Art Appreciation class was doing a unit on surrealism, and were told to do an essay based on one of the paintings we were studying. The story I came up with is actually one of my favorite pieces that I've written. It was obvoiusly written a few years back, and there are things I'd change if I were writing it today...but I've decided to just keep it in its original form. It's based on the Salvador Dali painting Sleep.
And now for something completely different. Here's some stuff that tends to amuse me. I was going to rotate these around weekly, but never seemed to actually get around to any sort of a schedule, so I'll just start putting them up as I get them ready.So far we have:
- Things that are not funny, by royce@alaska.net
- Infocom Presents...Tetris!, from a post on alt.religion.kibology, by Dave A. Largtigue.
- The Dr. Sue-Us Purity Test. This was forwarded to me...funny as hell.
- Blanket Release Form. Finally! Safety in sleeping around....
- Workplace Communication. A guide to polite communication in today's office environment.
- A modern day horror story for parents...don't let the evil fate of this summer camp befall your children... (grin)
- Another bit found on alt.best.of.internet..."Abort, Retry, Ignore", set to the meter of Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven."
- Are you not stressed enough? Here's some hints on stress management for you.
- Lo, though I am a follower of the Magic Apple, and travel not on the DosFish, I still appreciate the lore thereof, and so present to you, my faithful readers, A Fable for Our Times.
- Just in case you're ever caught in a lonely barnyard when the natives get restless, here's some tips for survival.
- For all those times you've either seen a Usenet post or gotten some e-mail that made you want to repeatedly slap the sender, we now have the Standardized Bonehead Reply Form.
- After finding this, I'm very glad that Dr. Seuss stuck to children's books, and never decided to tackle writing a technical manual.
- Something I found on alt.music.nin of all places, some things kids have said about love. I thought it was really neat.
The test you never want to have to take...THE final test.
