Did you hear the one about one hundred characters going into a bar? Someone called 'em a TWIT!
It was ON.
Fists began to fly.

My friends presented the armored knight, complete with a silk sash that read, "AWARD." Well, I wanted a Sir Prize party.

My car stalled in the parking lot. Damn lemon. I strode into the grocery store. I could exchange it for the mango I wanted.

This would make a fine quirky detail in a larger story. Of course the cafe only appears in years ending in 15.

AHAHAHA! That is awesome.
We celebrated an early Pi Day this weekend. Had friends over, ate pizza with two kinds of pie for dessert. Round foods are the best!

You need to check the venerable archives. episode 105 by Mur Lafferty, and resultant forums. The Cake/Pie war was short, but bloody, and resulted in the exile of the Cake Eaters from the podcast.
They left and formed cable news.

Mustang Sally sounded like a real cool chick, until I found out what a centaur smells like. Blind dates can be real tough.

Plus, I don't think Centaurs come in "Mares"

Centauras? Centauritas?
Why wouldn't they come in Mares? I mean, sure horses being a different species and all.... wait... I meant.... whoa look at the time!

When she told me, "'Neigh' means 'no'!"
and trampled me into the ground.

All my friends knew my Pops had named me after the biggest bad ass he had known. I left out the detail Crazy Joe was a donkey.

Female centaurs are rare because they're all used for filly cheesesteaks. The name has mislead many a hungry customer.

Whoops! I confused philly with filly. I don't care where it's from. I want my big Centaurita sandwich now! Diet soda too!
