Halloween (For Monsters)

On October 31, 2008 Satan had a costume party. This is how it went down...

10:31pm - Satan (dressed as Screech) puts the finishing touches on his appetizer platter.

10:36pm - There's a knock at the door. It's Frankenstein (dressed as the Joker - how freakin' original). He's embarrassingly early, as usual.

Frankenstein: I brought pigs in a blanket.

Satan: ...thanks.

Frankenstein: Who are you supposed to be? Topher Grace?

Satan: I'm Screech.

Frankenstein: ?

Satan: From 'Saved by the Bell'?

Frankenstein: ?

Satan: Jesus Franky, have you ever watched TV?

Frankenstein: I like that show, Two and Half Men.

Satan: You would. Help yourself to the punch.

11:15pm - The Werewolf (dressed as The Burger King) arrives with The Mummy (dressed as the Stock Market) and The Thing (dressed as Garth Vader, which is essentially a Darth Vader costume with a cowboy hat and an acoustic guitar).

Satan: Hey guys, come on in. LOVE the costumes.

The Thing: I'm ready to get wasted and make a mistake.

Satan: That Burger King costume is genuinely creepy. But I thought you were coming as a Sexy Nurse this year?

Werewolf: I was, but I didn't have enough time to go get a bikini wax.

Mummy: ...awkward....

Werewolf: (stage whisper) Oh god, is that Frankenstein?

Satan: (louder stage whisper) I swear I didn't invite him. He must have overheard at the River Styx mixer.

The Thing: This could mean trouble if "you know who" shows up...

Frankenstein sulks by the punch.

11:42pm - Dracula (dressed as a pencil) arrives with Bride of Frankenstein (dressed as a pencil sharpener).

Satan: Hi guys, come on in! Oh, matching costumes...TOO CUTE!

Dracula pretends to put his pencil in the sharpener. It's awkwardly sexual. From across the room...

The Thing: OMG, can you believe they had the nerve to come here together?

Werewolf: Franky is going to LOSE HIS SHIT.

Frankenstein looks up from his appetizer plate. He sees Dracula, poking Bride of Frankenstein with his pencil. The plate drops to the floor SLOW MOTION STYLE.

Frankenstein: I'M GOING TO KILL YOU, YOU PALE, GREASY-HAIRED, BLOODSUCKING BASTARD!

And with that, Frankenstein charges Dracula. But before he makes contact, The Thing smashes Franky in the head with his acoustic guitar. It puts Franky in a momentary haze.

Satan: Woah, woah, woah there. Everybody calm down. Now, this is a party! Let's all try and get along, please?

Mummy: No, Satan. These men need to settle their differences, once and for all. Let them have at it.

The Thing: If you don't, this sort of thing will continue to happen. And it will make our parties SUCK.

Satan twirls his pitchfork as he contemplates.

Satan: Fine. But I want you two to use your fists, not your words.

After a moment...

Frankenstein: Fine.

Dracula: Fine.

12:01am - The two monsters face off. Frankenstein has the height advantage, but Dracula has the grace. Franky rears back, ready to deliver a vicious blow. But before he makes contact...

Bride: WAIT!

Franky stops just short of Dracula's face.

Bride: It's high time I said what needed to be said...

Bride of Frankenstein comes between Dracula and Franky. She tenderly takes Franky's hand.

Bride: Franky, when we were together, it was amazing. I mean, we just connected, you know? But I realized that we just became two different people. I love you, Franky-wanky, but I'm no longer IN love with you.

Frankenstein: But...

Bride of Frankenstein puts her finger up to his lip.

Bride: Shhh. If love something, set it free.

Frankenstein sheds a single tear.

Bride: We'll always have the cemetary...

Frankenstein wets himself.

Mummy: Oh that's unfortunate.

2:36am - All the monsters have left the party. Satan speaks to his parrot.

Satan: Well Beatrice, I think outdid ourselves this year. What do you think?

Beatrice squawks.

Satan: You're right, Beatrice. A bubble bath IS in order!

2:56am - Satan takes a bubble bath. It's...weird.

The End?

Gary had a little 'stache

Gary had a little 'stache
the strands were red like fire
and everywhere that Gary went
his 'stache raised manly ire

He wore his 'stache to school one day
which was against the rule
it made the girls unsnap their bras
to see a 'stache so cool

"Why does his 'stache cause such a fuss?"
They asked an ancient relic;
"Because my dears," the relic replied
"he's like a young Tom Selleck"

Daily Paper Retractions

THE DAILY PAPER RETRACTIONS SECTION

In our ongoing quest to maintain journalistic integrity, the Daily Paper would like to correct some factual errors made in the recent weeks pertaining to several of our breaking stories. The editors of the paper would like to retract the following statements...

On June 30th, we wrote that Abraham Lincoln assassinated John Wilkes Booth during a fraternity Toga party. Oops, we were wrong. Apparently Booth assassinated Lincoln, and it was...somewhere else.

On July 2, we ran an article that attempted to debunk the idea that cats have nine lives. Although we were successful, we engaged in what some group calls "animal cruelty". Sorry guys! :/

On July 6th, we printed the entire paper in wingdings. We apologize for the inconvenience.

On July 7th, no one decided to come in to work...so...there was no news. But we assure you that anything that happened on that day was not really relevant. ...so...whoops.

On July 22nd, our Op Ed columnist urged readers to get out of the house and enjoy the summer by going down to the local "glory hole". He meant to write local "watering hole". The Daily Paper claims no responsibility for subsequent trauma maintained by readers who took his advice.

On July 25th, our weather forecast predicted that the sky would ejaculate. In our defense, it did rain.

On August 1, the letter A on our keyboard didn't work, making most of the paper read like gibberish. Luckily, we had a warranty on the equipment, so its all good now.

On August 11th, we ran an article claiming that arson was good for your skin. Apparently just because you make a statement doesn't mean its true. I realize that now.

On August 23, our Arts and Entertainment editor reviewed the fifth grade production of Robin Hood. Calling it a "theatrical abortion" may have been a little harsh, but they play truly was shit.

I hate you so much

I hate you so much. It's incredible how much I hate you. I hate you from the top of my head to BELOW my feet. In fact, I hate you from SPACE to the CENTER OF THE EARTH. Scratch that. I hate you from Pluto to China. NO - from the very leftist edge of the universe to the very rightist edge of the universe. If I was Rubberman, I would say, "I hate you THIS much" and then stretch my arms beyond the limits of any mere mortal.

I love how much I hate you. I want to sleep with how much I hate you. Actually, I want to date how much I hate you for several months and then sleep with how much I hate you's sister just to piss you off. I hate you so much that Satan thinks I should see a therapist.

I wish only the worst for you. You know when people say, "I wouldn't wish that upon my worst enemy"? I want to wrangle all of THOSE things up and wish them on you. If somebody told me you were homeless, desperately alone and disfigured, I'd say, "Well, he isn't being mauled by a bear, is he? He should consider himself lucky".

If this were Ancient Rome, I would ask the various Gods to smite you. Especially the guy with the lightning bolt. Coincidentally, I would also ask him if he wanted to be friends, cause I mean, come on, who wouldn't want to be friends with that guy? He and I would drink a beer and then I would casually suggest that he split you in half with his kung-fu lightning.

I hope you feel my hate. You know how people say that when someone is talking about you that your ears burn? I hope that every time I direct a hateful thought your way one of your hairs falls out. That way, I'll know my job is complete when you're bald and blubbering.
Someone should hold a hate contest because I would win, hands down. And I've never won anything so that would be a plus for me.

I hate you so much it makes me want to commit a hate crime. I hate you so much I subsist only on hater-ade. I'm going to build a roller coaster that requires each rider to hate you THIS much to ride. If I could feed people with my hate, I would solve world hunger. If you looked up HATE in a dictionary, you wouldn't see a picture of me - but only because I don't photograph well.
How do I hate thee? LET ME COUNT THE WAYS. You're so worthless the Bard wouldn't Shake his Speare at you. If your name was Raymond, I would give you a 30 minute sitcom and call it "Everybody HATES Raymond" - it would be non-fiction.

My friends say that if I used this hateful energy to do something productive that I would actually be going somewhere with my life...



I HATE my friends.

Leslie Boggs

Did you hear? Leslie Boggs' nipple slipped out of her tank top during gym! Craig Turner said it winked at him!

Did you guys know that Leslie Boggs set all the frogs from science class free? And she did it using only her sense of smell!

You won't believe what I heard - Leslie Boggs ate all the silverware in the cafeteria! She's gonna be in the bathroom for like 3 days!

Dexter told me that Leslie Boggs' middle name is Peenus.

Once I went to a slumber party at Leslie Boggs' house. The inside was made entirely of broken dreams.

Leslie Boggs has a very strict policy about dating - if there's turf on the field, then the game is on.

Meghan Blatt said Leslie Boggs once gave a book report that was 2 days long - the funny thing is, no one can remember what it was about.

Legend has it that Leslie Boggs lives on a 25 hour day. What she does with that extra hour is ANYONE's guess. Mike Brooks thinks she does yoga.

The Iranians have a new virus to be used in biological warfare - only Leslie Boggs has the antidote.

In Albert Einstein's personal notes, a early draft of his famous equation went as follows - E=Leslie Boggs. When applied, the equation did not quantify the theory of relativity. Instead, it made the document burst into flame.

Peter Sweller dated Leslie Boggs for 6 months. He though the breakup was amicable. But 2 weeks later, his genitalia withered away.

Leslie Boggs says she plans to run for President. One day, a fellow peer asked, "President of what?" He was never heard from again.

Roses are red, violets are blue. LESLIE BOGGS.

Julie Fisk once said "Leslie Boggs" three times in a mirror. Now when she looks in a reflective surface, she only sees Leslie Boggs.

Leslie Boggs can read minds. She chooses not to.

Billy Seeger said that Leslie Boggs once told him how to solve world hunger over IM. He accidentally deleted the conversation.

To Kathy, Love Miles

Dear Kathy (sp?),
Hi! Welcome to Hillcrest High, home of the fightin' dogwood trees! I hope your first day of class has treated you well so far. I know that moving to a new school in a new town can be tough, so I'm here to offer you a friendship - no strings attached! Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Miles Pinkus and I would like - nay - LOVE to be your friend. I have lived in Hillcrest my entire life, and know the names of all the major intersections in town. I also have an extensive knowledge of all our local congressmen and did you know I can also read backwards? Anyway, if you want to be my friend, you can meet me tomorrow by the soda machine at 2:30 - I'll be the guy by the soda machine. LOL!
Hoping for a friend,
Miles

Dear Kathy,
So I couldn't help but notice that you didn't come by the soda machine today...what happened? Did you get lost or get caught in some barbed wire or something? I just can't imagine that you would have skipped...I mean, who wouldn't want a friend? Especially when they're new in town and probably don't have anyone to hang out with. And if you're thinking that I'm a loser, you are totally wrong. I don't need you. I'm just trying to be an upstanding citizen. So don't be such a raging bitch...LOL! Oh wait, I just realized in my other note I said 2:30 - maybe I should have been more specific and said 2:30 PM - gosh, I hope you don't come by at 2:30AM! I will feel like such a goof! But, just in case, I will be at the soda machine at 2:30am if you wanna meet up. I can show you my animal fetus collection! You bring the chex mix!
Living for the moment,
Miles

Dear Kathy,
I have to say that I'm beginning to lose my patience. Two times I've been at that soda machine waiting for you and two times you've disappointed me. Three times and I kill you...LOL! But seriously, where were you? I can only take the fetuses out of the fridge once a month and I just wasted it. So if you want to see them, you're gonna have to come over to my place...oh, why don't we just do that? I'll tell my cousin to make Liver for 3! Yes, I live with my cousin but its only cause my parents were murdered or something. So what'dya say? 7:30PM, my place? Be there or be DEAD! (kidding)
Giving you one more chance,
Miles

Kathy,
Well now you've really gone and done it. DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG MY COUSIN SLAVED OVER THAT LIVER FOR YOU!? I'm so mad I could dig up my parents and murder them all over again...JUST JOSHING! but not really. Look, I don't know what I've done to offend you Kathy, but you have NO RIGHT to mess with people's hearts like this. I've been nothing but good to you and all you've done is shit all over me. Are you shy? Is that it? Because I can be very accommodating. If you feel awkward, or like I won't listen to you or make fun of you, let me assure you - I won't. Here, how about this. Tomorrow night, let's meet at the butcher store on Sycamore lane - I interned there last year so I have a key. We can talk this over in privacy.
Also, in anticipation of our conversation, please find attached a severed finger.
Looking forward to our chat,
Miles

Dearest Kathy,
You probably think I'm mad at you for calling the cops on me. I'm not. And I want you to know that that guy was dead before I cut off his finger. Did I murder him? Well that's for 12 of my peers to decide, isn't it? Anyway, I've been thinking it over and I think that I was too hard on you. You were new in town and probably overwhelmed by all the attention! So I'm going to extend an open invitation. If you need someone to talk to, or just have an urge to cut someone, I'm here. Hope you're excelling in class and give the fightin' dogwoods my love!
Yours truly,
Miles
