Desert Island

Sitting back in his squeaky office chair, Garten thoroughly rubs the thinning spots on his once shaggy head, mulling over past achievements and wondering if Dental College would have been a better choice of professions. Belching out a fuming trouser gasp, Garten rises from his daliance and begins to scratch his once active member, Stormcrow, perched placidly on a corner of the seriously eroding oaken desk. "Hmmm, How do I retrieve Mariah from that crusty old wombat, dude?" Stormcrow purrs at his masters attentions, blinks and a thought seeps into his clouded consciousness. "Sardines," Stormcrow whispers. "She loves sardines... and saltines, Master Garten. She loves them, she does." The oblivious Garten coughs and horks up a juicy phlegm burger from the depths of his blackening lungs, chews slowly and swallows another piece of his own matter. Completely ignoring Stormcrows comments, Garten remembers the Glitter marathon on the Women's Channel, and rushes to find his remote.

Footsteps in the hallway are nearly silent and a hand reaches for the doorknob. Long, emaciated fingers wrap around the polished brass and.....

Jim Garten wrote: Startled, Garten jumped to his feet - "what was that?" An exhausted Mariah Carey stirred from a post coital slumber, and lit her 174th cigarette of the day (time spent with Garten is never without its hazards). "Darling" she croaked - her once pure voice now lowered by nicotine addiction to 3 octaves below bottom C - "worry not, 'tis only the insane screaming of the Danbobeast over yonder hill" "That's all very well for you to say," gasped Garten with a shudder "but I was so surprised, I nearly gave up smoking!" He shuddered, and sat back down on the bed; gazing out to sea, he wondered if Mad King Rideout would ever return from exile - Garten had, after all, a special batch of his pride and joy to present to the rambling monarch: a whole firkin of that pinnacle of the desert island brewer's art, Gruntfuttock's Old Wobbler (with added wee...). He turned to his lover, and was transfixed by the sensuous curves of Mariah Carey's new ashtray; unable to control himself he threw back the covers and kissed her with abandon... Then he took the band off, and kissed her again.

ahh "special batch"... I thought for a second that you wrote "bath"!  That would've been nothing like you!

Er, yes -- rather....

What my presently peevish (but normally nice) esteemed colleague and friend means is that one should read from the beginning of this old thread. In amongst the lists, there are some early Archives attempts at humour back on the ol' Island of Abandoned Progholes.

This might just amuse you a trifle.

Or not.

Jimminy: Careful! Would you have me return to that blighted, accursed isle? I could only promise you more blood, sweat, and beers....

I wonder if the newbies can let down their guard and have fun?

It's not about the freakin' lists!
