by R. Andrew Heidel and William Morton Our recipe, and Kiki’s lineage, begins in Japan during the waning years of the Edo era when the Tokugawa Shogunate commissioned the Sushi Sensei to discover a wasabi hot enough for the emperor himself. After many years on his dangerous quest, the Sushi Sensei discovered a pure strain…
-Strange – 2 Pages – As far as I can tell there are two types of Tennessee river people and they travel in competing packs and consume washed up fish or this ubiquitous leafy vegetation that I with my northern bearings will only later come to know as kudzu. There are the stoop-shouldered people who…
Roger Hambone despite his last name never learned to hambone. He was hamboneless. But he could eef like nobody’s business. People used to say his name should have been Roger Eef. They called him “Eefin’ Roger Hambone”. When he would eef it sounded like this: Ah ee, ah oh, ah ee, ah oh, [hic], ee,…

By the grace of Herman I finally somehow managed to rig up an elementary time portal. I know it doesn’t look like much. But it’s a start. And it works. And here’s how it works. (This is going to get complicated, so buckle up and settle in…) That door you see in the picture leads…
I was in a restaurant. I was asked how many people were in my party. I thought about it for a moment, just knowing I would be the only one in my party but held up two fingers anyway. Henry Winkler walked by. Was it Henry Winkler? I was pretty sure it was. A waiter…
-Humor – 5 Pages – Mary Beth awoke with a start. “What the fu…,” she said, groggily. She looked around and realized immediately that it had been a dream. But what a strange dream it was. Stranger than most, to be sure. Not necessarily a nightmare; more of a disturbance. After all, it’s not often…
4 Pages The payphone is occupied. Another person, a man, a quirky man, hovers around its perimeter; he closely resembles a jabberwocky. “Excuse me, do you mind if I stare at you for a minute?

(This is a true account originally dated Sunday, October 17, 2004) For a week since I’ve been in the Kansas City area I’ve been wanting to go back to this steakhouse in Independence that me and my parents ate at a few weeks ago, because it was REALLY good (the best I’ve found anywhere in…
New Devil’s Dictionary by Spamrider Satire: [In an increasingly insane world this word has been rendered both obsolete and meaningless. It is démodé. Kaput. Satire is utterly dead, my friends. May it rest in rebellious peace.]
The Bus Boys—“American Worker” MoTW—“Superman Returns” I put Mrs Beasley behind the couch in the living room, figuring it wasas safe a place as any. This way she wouldn’t be locked in a room andcould wander around the house freely, somehow terrorizing anyone shehappened to run into. I reminded mom that I had to work…
