NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER!

“Ah,” he said. And, “Hm.” Shuffle shuffle shuffle. “Camouflaged base camp. Camouflaged hide. Camouflaged clothing?”

“All the better to avoid any predators, should they be present,” she sang.

“Mrrmmph…” shuffle shuffle. “Hu'lu'a is sending most of this nonsense anyway. For science,” pronounced, something hated I must tolerate for the greater good. “We will deploy the basics and send clean food by drone. You will record all aspects of life on Toxic Island bar the normal,” eating, ablution, and assorted waste disposal, “and you will refrain from any and all forms of vainglory.”

“Understood and obeyed,” T'reka bobbed. She would only refer to herself as T'reka the Inquisitive in her private and personal journal. For everything else, she was T'reka the Mad.

She watched with bated breath as he lined up the papers anew. And only breathed out when the stamp of approval descended on each and every page.

“You may go forth and commit science,” pronounced, disgusting thing I no longer have to be involved with. “We will send the details to your domicile.”

T'reka only dared breathe properly after she shut the door behind herself.

Challenge #00712 - A347: Jinge Bells, Santa Smells

Santa’s elves go union!

“Two! Four! Six! Eight! Hear us, Kringle, we can wait!” The chant filtered through the stained glass windows of the Head Office.

Kris Kringle, aka Santa Claus, aka The Jolly Elf of the North, was not that jolly. He was perspiring, despite the cold, and highly nervous. He cleared his throat seventeen times before he put his foot in his mouth with, “And what do you want for Christmas, little boy?”

I didn’t know her, therefore Wikipedia:

Lucy (or Lucia) Eldine Gonzalez was born around 1853 in Texas, likely as a slave, to parents of Native American, Black American and Mexican ancestry.[1] In 1871 she married Albert Parsons, a former Confederate soldier. They were forced to flee from Texas north by intolerant reactions to their interracial marriage.

Described by the Chicago Police Department as “more dangerous than a thousand rioters” in the 1920s, Parsons and her husband had

all cops are bastards…and whiny pissbabies apparently

Real talk: If I was anywhere near that newspaper, I would buy five copies a day just to spite those murderers.

In fact, you should. Just order five copies of this paper a day. And then write on every page “Stop murdering POC” and send each page, individually, to that particular lodge.

Challenge #00711 - A346: Saved!

Serial killer (real Hannibal Lechter-type) turns himself in to the authorities a sobbing wreck after months of being hounded by a pair of REALLY persistent Jehova’s Witnesses.

Every serial killer makes one big mistake, and for Kevin Leerie, that mistake was answering the door one peaceful morning to the door-to-door evangelists.

“Have you heard the good word of our lord and saviour Jesus Christ?”

“Rack off,” said Kevin, and slammed the door.

He should have pretended he

Challenge #00710 - A345: Vicious Competition

MongoCorp runs across a rival business concern…AzTech.

Despite the near meteoric rise of MongoCorp Consolidated Business Concern, there was a rival in the South Americas. AzTech Incorporated.

They profited by a pyramid franchise scheme that sent prescribed percentages of profits to the central offices in Tacuba, and busily recruited and expanded all around them.

Their flagship products were QuetzlcoatlNet and the Obsidian Drive. The sharpest technology on the planet.

But their sacrificial employee management skills were in direct opposition to MongoCorp&

Australians fight Islamophobia amidst hostage crisis with #IllRideWithYou

In the midst of the ongoing hostage crisis in downtown Sydney, Australians are showing the world they’re not caving to racism or Islamophobia. 

On Monday, an armed gunman stormed a cafe in Martin Place, entering a tense standoff with police. After the hostage-taker displayed an Islamic flag in the cafe’s window, many of Australia’s Muslims are understandably anxious about facing retribution. 

But instead, Australians have banded together on Twitter with

Dear makers of Pages for Apple...

WHY?

Why did you remove the functionality that enables writers like me to replace text with invisibles?

Do you have any idea how much of a pain in the arse it is to go through 350-odd pages looking for single asterisks and then MANUALLY REPLACE THEM with page breaks?

DO YOU?

Sincerely, one writer who is almost out of hir flipping mind.
