I haven't really felt all that much like writing comedy these past few days, as it's been a very distracting week. I feel pretty bad about that, since now would be a good time for a hilarious update about America's "wackiest neck ties" or something similar. That, and those campfire updates from Rich and Zack have been giving some pretty good commentary on the situation in the Gulf Coast. I didn't want to retread covered ground, but for someone like me, I have a hard time moving onto new ideas until I get the old ones out of my system. That goes for bad jokes too, which explains a lot of my updates.

I don't like forcing comedy and that's what I would have had to do very hard this week. I had intended today's update to be just a rant that I'd post here in this Daily Dirt, but it ended up absorbing most of my focus, and not much else drizzled out of my rickety old skull.

Anyway, seems like things are calming down as well as they can following a brief preview of the Apocalypse, so I look forward to writing a much more lighthearted and fancy free update next week.

Livestock: write me a story about a helicopter falling in love with a barrel.
Moof: there used to be a helicopter in the town where i lived for a few years in Iceland
Moof: it was a coastguard helicopter
Moof: used for rescues and such and such
Moof: one day it was called out to help some people who were shipwrecked
Moof: and their ship was falling apart
Moof: and it was transporting dogs and so hundreds of barrels of dogs were floating in the sea
Moof: the helicopter noticed one of these barrels that caught it's eye
Moof: it flew down to take a better look and then fell in love instantly and moved to Greece and lived happily ever after and all the people on the boat died the end
Livestock: you're a very good service. your stories make me smile.
Moof: i am glad:)
Livestock: but why were the dogs in barrels?
Moof: because they were being shipped to Iceland PAY ATTENTION SHEESH
Livestock: oh, isn't Greece kind of a gay place to go?
Livestock: did he let the dog out of the barrel or did he love the barrel with the dog in it?
Moof: yes it is but the helicopter was a man and so was the barrel and they forgot about the dog and it died but they buried him in Greece and a beautiful tree grew where he lay
Livestock: that's very poetic
