The Drabblecast Forums

Really, guys, you all saw the ending coming? I totally expected the "Pancake Factory" rep to be the one who got eaten by Cthulhu . . . and I was that Pancake Factory rep.

But ah well. This story worked perfectly well for me, and it was an honor to get to narrate it.

The gypsy grabbed Daniel's wrist. "Say that again." "Your country smells like socks and pee." "Right." She pursed her lips. "Very well. I curse you. May you never find joy. May your life now seem hollow." Only then did she release his grip and move on. "You bitch!" Daniel yelled. But she kept walkin...

Wow, I really dug this one. Nice, nice work.

Excellent. I admit it took me a second, though.

My interpretation was that the therapy made him empathetic to the junk food, but he still can't help but want the food. He's still going to be fat, but now he'll be miserable too!

Kind of like that time Big Anklevich ate an entire wedding cake, crying and begging for forgiveness the whole time.

Excellent.

And it hurts because it's true.

Dang, that's a good one. I might do that one for the Dribblecast, if I ever start doing that again.

Shoot, I might have to do this one for the Dribblecast.

If, that is, I have permission to do so.

And if, that is, people are still recording dribbles for the Dribblecast.

Evil.

Good one.

Danny went to traffic court. His coworkers insisted that if the ticketing officer didn't show, the case got thrown out. Would a cop go to court over a speeding ticket? A gambling man, Danny sat in the crowded courtroom, waiting his turn. Unfortunately, the case immediately before his was a 17th Cent...

Aye, but it's better than "least rarest."

Oooh! I hope it does!

This story was upsetting to me.

In a good way.

Well, not in a good way, exactly, but . . .

You sir, are a monster.

Either that, or this world really IS a cruel, fubar place.

I'm afraid this one is a bit too clever. My brain is weeping.

That's funny.

Unsettling stuff. I like it.

Wow, excellent narration. I'm not sure how difficult it was to get her to read the story, but it was certainly worth it. As something of a podcaster myself, there have been times when I've been unable to get the right person to read a part or a story, and I'll often do it myself . . . but I wonder i...

My opponent moves in for the kill, but I'm ready for him. As he lunges, I sidestep and, seeing an opening, strike. He is momentarily stunned. I pound my controller so fast my fingers are pasty white blurs. My enemy falls! With aching fingers, I wipe sweat from my brow. As the TV proclaims me the vic...
