Stolen from Crucial Brutal

Public School Tales Vol. ?

So, I get a phone call today from the school secretary.

School Secretary: There's a parent on the phone for you. She's been calling all through your lunch. It sounds like there's something wrong.

Me: Who's mom is it?

School Secretary: JH's

Me: Yeah I'll talk to her.

Now, JH doesn't live with his mom. I've never met his mom. I've never talked to his mom. I don't even have his mom's phone number to call in case of an emergency.

Mom: Is this Mr. Bui?

Me: Yeah, how's it going? What can I do for you?

Mom: JH told me about you

Right now I'm thinking great. What did JH tell her. This kids a trouble maker. Did he tell her I said something inappropriate? Did I say anything inappropriate recently? What could he possibly have said?

Mom: JH said you call him your son.

Me: Yeah, I didn't say that.

Mom: He said the kids say you two look alike.

Me: Yeah, the kids say that.

Mom: You're 27 right?

Me: Do you need something?

Mom: JH said you're looking for a girlfriend.

Me: What do you need?

Mom: Well I was just calling . . . I was seeing . .

Me: What do you need?

Mom: Uh . . . well . . . how's he doing in school?

Me: I'll talk to you some other time about that.

DIRTY DUCK


My dad's friend. His name is Dirty Duck.

THE INTERNET.....

...is a weird and magical place.

Today I received an email from someone I haven't spoke to since 8th grade!
He is looking for a job and googled his name, to see what his prospective employers may find. Lo and behold, what should appear, but a Denton Tall Tale. His full name was in the comments. Pretty amazing, right?!

**UPDATE**

I just got another email from him:

"You seem to be Denton's only voice to the outside world, after the Weird Harold eulogy they may give you the key to the city."

Ive never been prouder to be a Dentonion....

Typer Shark

Yesterday I was introduced to a new obsession.

A friend showed me the game Typer Shark.

You are a deep sea diver who has sharks coming after him. The sharks have words written on them. You have to type the words error free before the shark reaches you. There are also piranhas that have single letters. The person that showed me the game was able to play at 'expert' which is 70 words per minute. I could barely handle 50 words per minute. Turns out I still look at the keyboard when I type. This is one of those games that is actually learning disguised as fun, but who cares, it is still pretty radical.

For all you desk jockeys or bored home dwellers I present Typer Shark.

Give it a go and then post your high score in the comments.

p.s. Don't bother with the 'free download.' Just wait for it to load then click 'continue here.'
