It sounds like the sort of management thing where they pay a consultant thousands of dollars to do do a thing, which they are unlikely to well as they don't work there, then everybody has a to spend a day at some boring retreat so they get more behind in their work. The vast majority of the employee...

Then I spend a looooong time very carefully picking one seed out of the bunch in my cheek, separating shell from kernel, and then spitting out the shell while transferring the kernel to my other cheek. Repeat this process until all 20 to 25 seeds have been shelled. Then, and only then, do I get to ...

(super villain for a change) Angry Spice's MO was to make small talk with strangers in their yard. Then she'd create a strong toast small and look concerned while asking, "Did you leave a burner on?" She'd follow them inside and pacify them with a strong citrus smell while cleaning out the...

LIttle Joey was a "flamer" just like his dad. All his friends were jealous as they were too young to play with matches.

It would be hard to get through the primaries unless things get much worse. 1. Trump has control of the white house and party apparatus. The latter might be tepid for him if things have gone very bad. But I don't see Trump playing fair and not using advantages for mere ethical reasons. 2. At this po...

[I love the names Rayne Dryson and Dark Rayne] Beauregard "Squirrel Man" Johnson ate squirrel meat an average of 2 meals a day. When he traveled outside of Arkansas, people made fun of his squirrel skin jacket or his car decorated with squirrel tails. Beau cared not one wit for their opini...

Odd story someone on facebook linked:

George was the most sought after pet groomer in Lincoln. Declawing no longer happened and furniture lasted longer when cats could get their nails trimmed before they even knew it was happening. George also spent time volunteering at nursing homes and the children's hospital. Many baby's first pictur...

I don't think NK will shoot a nuke. I don't think they'll start a major war, either. Despite all their rage, they'r still just a rat in a cage. If a war did start, conventional weapon would probably account for more damage - thousands of artillery pieces, many of which can hit Seoul. Trump's not a g...

Ronny didn't know how to tell them that, with the new Logan's Law to save on healthcare, they would all be put down tomorrow. He gritted his teeth and let them enjoy their last day.

Why don't you like visiting Grandma's house? She has sooo many stuffed animals for you to play with!

My bad for breaking the flow. The real reason Romney lost: He bent over to pet a dog and his devil tail popped out. http://static2.businessinsider.com/image/56d9b68b2e5265b8008bb71b-1200/as-its-name-might-suggest-chessboxing-is-a-combination-of-two-traditional-sports-chess-and-boxing-the-game-altern...

It's very common to a class of fantasy, especially if they're intended for a juvenile audience. Kids/teens instantly grasp the student paradigm. Fantasy that comes from the sword and sorcery or pulp traditions rarely have this, though I think the first Elric book does. The Prydain chronicles have a ...

Sorry for the pause. I've posted a bit recently. The story is at a tricky point so we need to collectively forge a path towards completion. We can talk ooc here or in Storium how you wanna proceed. Here's a non-exhaustive list of ways it could go. Try to find Nerp and see if you can form a plan toge...

Mike's Fudd one is great - I totally didn't see that angle but it totally fits.

For the two above, my brain hiccuped and i was pairing the caption with the picture below it. That made them stranger yet hilarious. Just what kind of STI does that animal have? And just where did he put the dog?
