Strange encounters the other night

The other night:
I walked along a dark road and met a tiddly skeleton. The skeleton said "hello".
I continued and came accross a pair of minute zombies. They said "hello".
A little later I was confronted by a diminutive witch. She said "hello".
Out of the darkness appeared a titchy Dracula. He said "hello".
And then a werewolf sprang from the gloom. He said "hello".

And I said to all of them "f**k off hello weeny"

This piece is a good example of modern non-hilarity; and therefore should never ever be placed in a folder labelled 'funny'. Such ill-constructed dialogue such as; "f**k off hello weeny", tells us that Birch is creatively unconscious, nay, Birch is creatively comatose; thus resulting in a resounding, "WTF?"

If, for one millionth of New York minute, the narrative within the context of the afore-mentioned "f**k off hello weeny" et al, were to hold; we'd have to choose between the gutter-utterings coming from the lady working in the sub-post-office down the road opposite the kebab shop; and relative noise emitted by the mother-of-all-power tools, that may (or may not) be re-chargeable.

Hope that helps.

I'm still trying to work out what stange encounters are

Laughing out loud Laughing out loud Laughing out loud

With critiques such as those above I'd recommend you were all sent to Stangeways.

I don't know what that means.

Not sure what that means either.

And who's that?

Look, if you don't understand it Lee then just f**k off hello weeny!

I think the picture is of Stephen Birch the author of the piece.

:)

Pretty stange this "hello weenies" critique-ising. Perhaps you never made the halloween connection and missed the pun. I missed the the 'e' in strange but I never claimed to be a man of letters. No one's perfect and so am I! I don't make a present of a primate's, my shoulders are Broadmore. I can take it. Thanks for playing.

Would you have all been happier if the pay off was...
"They must have been hello weenies"

I missed the pun :$
I found it amusing when it just seemed to have no basis for saying 'f**k off hello weenies'.

Never mind, there'll be another pun along in a minute.

Why should you? They're on strike (at the time of this post).

Oh, don't degrade yourself, Stephen - you're a perfect idiot.

Well, you're obviously commited.

You're a Scout Master, I can tell.

Were I more of what you think I am I would be less than that which I thought I was. What about you? Please don't think the any the less of me for asking.

... more... or... less... a... twat.

Quote: Stephen Birch @ November 4 2009, 9:36 PM GMT

What about you?

Not a lot to say really, except...

pronoun pl. 'you'

The person to whom one is speaking or writing: personal pronoun in the second person (sing. & pl.): you is the nominative and objective form (sing. & pl.), yours the possessive (sing. & pl.), and yourself (sing.) and yourselves (pl.) the reflexive and intensive; 'your' is the possessive pronominal adjective

Of course not, Stephen...

Smack My Birch Up.
Don't bring back the Birch!
