He was saddened at the presence of the diarrhea that leaked uninvited from his frying sphincter and sizzled against the raw skin. He had vowed after all to keep control of his functions.

Then she would have one of us come to the front of the class and oil her down. But today she insists that I help her floss her butt to remove any remnants. I lulled her into a false sense of security by pretending to be her friend and then when I was halfway done, I yanked the floss as hard as I could up the great divide. Only when I saw that

Exodus of the Shlongites Exodus of the ShlongitesEight thousand years ago, in the Time of Goure, the Shlongites ruled in the east. Their massive territory stretched for hundreds of miles across the coast. They were lords of their land and no travelers could pass in their country without making an appropriate sacrifice to The Meat Stick (best possible translation). These people of Goure, the Shlongites, demanded that one nut be given to The Meat Stick in exchange for free passage. Most visitors obliged and the removal process was well refined and caused little pain. In this society the shlong was ever present. Effigies to The Meat Stick were ubiquitous, some w

Verily, dear reader, my heart is indeed heavy as i here transcribe these words. It was but two months hence since we saw the falling star in the Eastern sky. We tooketh it as a negative portent, and indeed, these same fears were realized when we first heard from across Longwater the whispered name of Frankenshlong the great, the Dark Man who now abides in Rome, and even now sends his emissaries eastward, encroaching upon our borders, and these same agents of the Shlong did assure us t

Meeting of the Shlongs The Meeting of the Shlongs How Frankenshlong and Shlongenstein the two great Nemeses, did finally meet..... The great Barnabas Greenly Frankenshlong relaxed on the throne, content in the knowledge that all was unfolding according to his design. With the powers of the Nexian Crystal, he had established his rule over the vast Roman empire. True, the people knew that Emperor Commodus was on the throne and Frankenshlong was merely the Grand Chancellor, but they did not know that the seemingly harmless Chancellor in actuality controlled the mad Emperor by means of the Rajknars that had burrowed deep into the Emperor's

The Dish Gnome I. The Dish GnomeOne day, Marc decided he was sick of doing the dishes all the time. So for a few days Gooch washed the dishes, but he quickly was fed up with the nasty chore as well. John tried doing the dishes, but that didnt quite work out, either. The filthy dishes piled up and the smell grew quite unbearable. No one was happy with this arrangement, so one day they convened to decide what was to be done. Tempers flared as accusations were made, and they might have come to blows had there not come a sudden knocking at the door. The three halted their quarreling and opened the door. There stood a homeless midget whose name wa
The Broiler Gnome II. The Broiler Gnome Marc cursed and grumbled as he flung the chunk of frozen meat into the hot mouth of the stained and reeking broiler. It vanished into the depths of the cavernous metal appliance that loomed ponderously from the back of the Kitchen. Ten minutes before closing, and some damn biatch in the Drive-Thru wanted a fresh grilled chicken, and he had already cleaned the sandwich board in anticipation of going home, where he would probably have more damn dishes to clean, since the Dish Gnome was gone. But then he would spark Goldberry. He tried to mentally remove himself from

There is no more need to fight! Just read what is written in the Book, and you will... He spoke no other words, for the three friends -- who had made their way quietly, calmly, hiding their true intent -- sprang upon him, and soon had the diminutive soul at their mercy, though mercy they did not show him. They were all three wise enough not to try to beat or punch or choke their victim, as such crude physical methods were suited only to the Earth Plane. Ra

"Acid Queen, i shall worship thee forever..." Suddenly the door opened and his mother, Wilma, walked into the room. She arrived just in time to hear show me your pussy, show it to me! Matt fumbled and tried to turn off his stereo, but it was too late. She had heard. Uh-oh."Matthew! What in the name of darn is this filth?" she shouted. His mom ripped the Lords of Acid CD out of the stereo and stalked away. Matt decided that perhaps it wold be better to go stay with
The Book of Mark The Book of Mark Mark pedaled as fast as he could while the cold rain stung his hands and face. Would this new job be worth it? Sure the salary was three times what he had been making before but it was also about seven times as far from the apartment. Mark cursed his roommates. He knew they would be counseling right now. It wasn't the brutal power of Gandalf he felt but the searing drops of pain that were falling from the blackened and howling skies. His breathing was labored as he struggled to reach the crest of a hill. A brilliant bolt of lightning exploded nearb
The Book of Luke The Book of Luke-- 01 . 09 . 2010 -- John sat comfortably slouched on the couch, feeling the effects. Marc was sitting cross-legged on the floor, sipping a cup of coffee. Both were crispy. The room was dark, except the glow of the cathode ray television that they were staring at intently. They heard the approaching footsteps and the unlocking of the door as Gooch entered, shivering and brushing snowflakes from his jacket. He stood in the doorway, exchanging a few words with someone behind him. "Dude, Gooch, close the door, it's fucking freezing out there," John exclaimed.
The Book of John The Book of John2.8.99 It was winter, and John had gone back up North for the holidays. And when he returned to Tennessee, he brought back with him and presented for the wonderment of Gooch and Marc the largest, most beautiful, most aromatic perfectly greenish sack of Kind Bud that they had ever seen. Pure crystalline action, this dripped from every singular leaf and stem. They stared and simply considered the wonder of the Bud for fully two hours, reflecting upon its capacity for damage. Such a thing must be prepared for. The Council ruled that Marc and Gooch would be dispatched at once to the Kwik-Sak for the necessary lighters and

He was actually pretty hip for an older fellow and we had a lot of good palaver on whatever was going on in the world at the moment. He was also a self-described political junkie, which is not uncommon in D.C., and he never tired of hearing my old war stories from my stint in the Clinton White House. He wanted to hear everything, from how they treated Socks, to every issue that Chelsea had in high school. I may have been just a wet-behind-the-ea

The sounds of construction roared in the near distance, and everywhere was bustling movement. Baines subconsciously longed for chilled confines of an earth hospital, sterile and secluded. But here on the Altair-6, on the outer skirt of the vast Novaluna Rainforest, there was no escape from the constant press of his fellow corpsmen and the other assorted m
The Deadly Hollows The old man slowly paced the perimeter of his small cell, his head bowed and his withered hands held before him. Every now and again he would halt and press them together, a look of weary concentration on his face, as he tried to feel any twinge or trace of the old magic. A slight tingle? Was it there, or was it just another false shadow, a phantom of wishful thinking? No, it was there, he felt it..."We were so stupid, so blind..." he murmured to himself as he resumed his shuffling. Again and again his thoughts returned to the past, to the long stretch of years that had led him to this

One of the porters politely tried to relieve him of the large travel bag that he clutched at his side, but he waved the kid away with an imperious snarl. This stays with me, he thought.Finally the car pulled out and weaved slowly through the rainy streets of New York City. Glenn breathed a sigh of relief and sank gratefully into the soft seat that cradled his aching back and buttocks."Hey, how you doing, Mr. B?"

As soon as the vehicle jolted to a halt, he exclaimed, "Woo!" and let his head fall and rest against the wheel."That was close!" he said. "You do know that i don't even have my learner's permit yet, Thandar?""What is that?" Thandar growled, "and why have we stopped, human?""Look, you Arcturian Cyberknights may be able to live on those energy capsules, but we humans do need food from time to time. See this place?

The Talented Mr. Roshiss The Talented Mr. RoshissOver the long path of his onerous and dreary life, Gadge Roshiss developed a skill that, to his knowledge, no one else in the world had honed, at least not to a comparable degree. Gadge could consistently estimate to within a margin of error less than a single centiliter, the amount of liquid a person had eliminated during urination, solely by listening to the sound of their urine stream impacting a surface. Typically this would be some form of toilet where most of the urine impacted water, although Gadge had learned how to adjust his calculations for a variety of impact surfaces ranging from grassy fields to city

After spending the entire morn and the better part of the aftermorn sequestered in the vast halls of the Royal Order, he yearned for victuals. He was seated in a tidy parlor, recounting for perhaps the fourth time the entirety of his testimony concerning his acquaintance with the mysterious and now ominous Dr. Selrahc Mailliw Gnolhs.

What happened then to the estimable Quarkington and his young charge Plimsol is a matter of some debate, many of the details being lost to the shifting tides of history. For many weeks they fought to remain alive on the open sea, sustaining themselves on rainwater and raw sea-meats before being washed ashore on the beaches of Calais. In a state of starvation and delirium, it is said that they were captured by an itinerant troupe of mercenaries and indentured into servitude in exchange for sustenance. Under Quarkington's direction they adopted false names, and st
