Bookstore Beat
My day began when I woke up (O RLY?), rolled out of bed, and ate a full half pound of pepperoni for breakfast. Washed down with a glass of milk, of course. Not quite standard, but not storyworthy by any means. I then went to my first couple classes, slept through them, and otherwise went about my day. Little did I realize a vile, uncontrollable beast was fermenting inside me.
http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/8...shiteh0qs5.jpg Fast forward to midday, when I'm browsing my local bookstore. A cute employee, 21ish, 7/10, walks up to me and asks if I need any help. I say no, and move out of her way, but she follows me down the aisles inventorying as she goes. Now as many of you know, I have a girlfriend, but I'm not immune to flirting for a quick self-esteem boost. Unfortunately, by this time I was well aware of the trouble brewing, so I had to proceed with caution. http://images.ibsys.com/2004/0618/3435722.jpg I stop meandering and crouch down to look at a book on the lower shelf. She stops too, and I look up to catch her smile. "Whatcha looking for?" she asks. A thousand thoughts run through my mind at once. What the hell AM I looking for? Hey, she has a nice smile. Wait a second, is my small intestine trying to tell me something? How the hell does she get her teeth that white? I'm looking for a comedy book. Christ, what the hell is wrong with my stomach? Oh no... ...[censored]... ...it's coming. Whatever I do, I can't stand up right now. "Books." Smooooth one, pennpal. "Well, I mean, funny books. Ehrmm..." I have no idea what I'm saying. Something about an author maybe, or the weather, or poker, or socks. I don't even care, I'm just clenching my asscheeks together as well as I can and praying she loses interest. She smiles again. [censored]. "Let me help you up." I grab her hand, and against all my best instincts, slowly rise. "I don't normally talk to customers like this... My name's ________." I dont remember what her name was, nor do I ever want to remember. Because at that exact moment, it happened. http://www.paloverde.org/hales/Chem_...room_cloud.jpg To call it a fart would be like calling Hiroshima a firecracker. I actually felt this incredible heat eminating from my ass - it was like someone had just taken a hotpocket straight from the microwave and shoved it right up there. For all I know that's what it looked like, too; I sure as hell wasn't about to check. Her face was priceless. Wide eyed shock followed by an incredibly disguested gasp- then, surprisingly enough, a small smile? Could I salvage the situation? Unfortunately, that's when the smell hit us. We both reeled, eyes watering, faces scrunched. I think she even started to gag. Now I've smelled a lot of things in my life. Week-dead birds, burning flesh, getting hugged by homeless people--Yet I have never smelled something this horrible. I would rather be skull-[censored]ed with a barbed wire baseball bat than ever smell it again, and I'm sure she had similar thoughts. She turned and walked - no, ran - in the opposite direction, while I sat and basked in all my rank-ass glory. "Well," I thought, "at least I still have a girlfriend." Only then did I look down at the book I had absentmindedly picked up to browse. http://images.amazon.com/images/P/15...CLZZZZZZZ_.jpg I ended up buying it - if I'm going to keep the girl I've got, I need all the help I can get. |

Re: Bookstore Beat
Any story that includes the phrase "that's when the smell hit us" is pretty much guaranteed to be funny.

You're a pretty good writer bro [/ QUOTE ] Thanks, always good to hear. Along these lines, I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this, but I'm trying to figure out how to create a website to host a lot of my writing. I ran a blog in high school that was hotlinked by collegehumor.com a few times, and have a smattering of stories, anecdotes, scripts, etc. that I'd like to put in one place. However, I know nothing of copyright law or website hosting. Is there anyone here with experience in this? |
Re: Bookstore Beat

Re: Bookstore Beat
Talk to Gildwulf about setting up the Mod Playground for yourself. We can make it the Pennpal forum and move the Threadcat thread there. I know I'll be visiting it.

Re: Bookstore Beat
One of the best stories I've heard. I started smiling when I read about the pepperoni and milk breakfast. I hate reading [censored] this funny in class!

Great story. Have you looked at blogger.com? [/ QUOTE ] I thought about it, but was thinking that I could generate more traffic using my own site, which might be more conducive to hosting things like scripts. Not having to use a template would also help. Thanks for the suggestion, though- after reading up on it I might decide to set up an FTP connection with it. Also, I'm not one for whoring my own threads, but if you liked this story, I was always partial to this one |
