"As I lay sprawled on the porch swing, my mouth crammed painfully full of forced Werther's Originals, I knew Grandpa's chuckles wouldn't lead to a happy story, and they didn't." Sounds like an SNL commercial. I would love to see it.

And the more I thought about "That one should be totally innocuous, and yet "aft porthole" sounds gross." the more I laughed. But I think I just really like whoever was talking about all the entries more than the entries themselves.

PEWPEW--Lasers!--PEWPEWPEW!

...

I want more of this story.

There is a door--explodes! Bang bang double tap headshot! Suitcase grabbed. Parachute breaks the window! She leaps out after it. WHOOSH! Blood and screams and the howl of the wind.

Later...

Crash thwack! THWACK! Wood splinters fly! Target dummies drop. He feels no pity. But there is one amongst them--Master Target Dummy! Blows: absorbed; laughter: mocking! NOTHING CAN DEFEAT HIM.

Except...

He turns back.

ROUNDHOUSE KICK!!!

He walks away. Over his shoulder, a crack! Silence--in the cold moonlight, one heartbeat, one breath.

BOOM.

He looks back. Only assholes don't look back.

Oh, my. That is fantastic. Seriously. "There is a door—explodes!" is gold.

Under Bob’s fez was another.

I like that one because it feels like it's missing a word, but then it takes a moment to figure out what it would be, and then once you've figured it out you realize that adding it would make the sentence even worse. I don't know why that kind of conundrum amuses me, but it does.


oh, man. he's so right.

It's some kind of advanced harmonic awfulness effect, like how the right sequence of overtones tricks your brain into hearing a note that's actually too low for your cheap speakers to reproduce.
