She believed everything horrible posted; it was only a fresh flurry of negativity that washed the first lot away. She counted the negative comments as they came in. Already they were up to 25 in jus...

George the Scout

June 7, 2025 • 1 min
George was a pirate, but he wasn't a very good pirate. The ship's captain sent George out on a lot of "scouting missions." Which were really just to get rid of the accident-prone George. George would wander the place around for several days, looking for treasure, but he always ended up finding trouble. Even though it was a huge relief to the crew not to have George on board and screwing things up. Eventually, George would return, c...

George memorials

June 6, 2025 • 1 min
George was a pirate, but he wasn't a very good pirate. He has no gravesite. No, he wasn't buried at sea. His body was burned, and the ashes scattered. That way, there would not be a grave for his followers to revere. Over the years, many memorials to George have been built. Piles of flowers, greeting cards, and stuffed teddy bears. Cheap candles in cheap tin holders. And the authorities have torn them all down. Shadowy figures meet...

George the good pirate

June 5, 2025 • 1 min
George was a pirate, but he wasn't a very good pirate. He was good to animals, though. He didn't eat meat, and avoided products that exploited animals, such as milk or cheese. His clothes were all natural fibers like hemp, not leather. When he wasn't out at sea, he volunteered at a sanctuary for parrots that had been rescued from cruel pirates. Rehabilitating as many as he could back into the wild, while caring for those who were t...

George stares

June 4, 2025 • 1 min
George was a pirate, but he wasn't a very good pirate. He seemed distracted, looking out over the rail and staring at... nothing. Only George knew what he was looking at... the memory of a beautiful woman, walking naked on the beach. But he said nothing. He just stared. So, the rest of the crew looked out over the rail and stared. Nobody noticed the British Navy frigate closing in from the other side. However, as they approached, t...

George on CNN

June 3, 2025 • 1 min
George was a pirate, but he wasn't a very good pirate. CNN's Jeanne Moos did a profile on George, but made him out to be a complete assclown of a pirate. George was furious. "I do not fall overboard that often," he growled. "And I only dropped my cutlass twice." He filed a complaint, which the network ignored. So, George took a CNN crew hostage and demanded a ransom and retraction. "Go ahead, kill them," said the CNN executives. "T...

George pirate qualities

June 2, 2025 • 1 min
George was a pirate, but he wasn't a very good pirate. Write a list of all the things that come to mind when you think of the word pirate. George is none of those. Not a single one of them. Unless, of course, you are crazy. Then, I'm sure George will be a few of the things on your list. So will a cockroach, a bowl potato salad, the Planet Neptune, and the smell of freshly-washed bedsheets. Yes, you can read more George stories. Wou...

Weekly Challenge #997 – Pack

June 1, 2025 • 12 mins
Richard Lisa Lizzie Serendipidy Tom Norval Joe Planet Z The next topic is You stink! LISA We’d just gone out for some smokes. That was all. It’s not like there’s much else to do when the powers out is there? It was a hot day – tempers had been frayed. Then the air con stopped working. Alarms started beeping down the street. I tried a light switch and nothing! They called us animals in court. Like we’d hunted...

George the king of comedy

May 31, 2025 • 1 min
... and that's 20 years. George was a pirate, but he wasn't a very good pirate. "You're the Jerry Lewis of pirates," grumbled his exasperated captain. The rest of the crew laughed. Except for Frenchy, who said that George was no Jerry Lewis. George looked up Jerry Lewis in the encyclopedia and learned about a technique called "video assist." Directors could watch instant reviews of shots instead of waiting for the crew to develop ...

George and the groupies

May 30, 2025 • 1 min
George was a pirate, but he wasn't a very good pirate. To pirate groupies, he was pirate enough. Oh, you've seen them, there at the taverns and bars, hanging out at the docks. The beer might be free, but the price you pay is an STD, or even worse, a long-term relationship. Pirates who settle down just aren't the same. They can't just go out on adventures and looting and pillaging, no matter how much they want to. They've got famili...
