I looked tomy dock and thought that I saw

  • I looked tomy dock and thought that I saw Travis Mcgee and Myer sitt5ing topside of the "Busted Flush", but no. Travis and company were from the never were, and ravis and company
  • were also from the never were, in that they never were, which means they could not have ever been from the never were, which was never the point. So anyway, a Hippo swallowed me.
  • It was actually pretty nice in there. I set up a time share with Jed and Frank, a nice gay couple from Yorkshire. Sure the stomach acid got in the way every now and then, but
  • as long as I didn't have to participate I could care less what they did during their time share. I reserved my times for the spring breaks and sought out the young college girls.
  • But first things first, I had to pay a visit to the liquor store around the corner to make sure I had enough "liquid courage." My equation is simple, girls + booze =
  • first base. girls + more booze + movie - halitosis = second base. girls + keys to dad's convertible + dental dam = third base and my equation for home base was girls +
  • booze + a wedding ring, which I realize now was probably the worst way to score. Apparently when it goes that far, girls want something called "commitment" which I always thought
  • meant a rubber room with a strait jacket. I found speed dating a bit puzzling. It took me a while to discover they were more than one woman. This would explain why
  • there were 19 men speed-dating alongside me and only one woman. It all became clear when she leaned forward and, hoping for a glimpse of her rack, I stared down her shirt and saw
  • a metal control panel. This woman was a robot, as suspected. Women have been extinct for five years now, but we all try and live our lives as normal. A tear rolled down my cheek.

    Indeed, the ending brought me to tears. Such raw emotion in only 180 characters.

    Had to resist the obvious, hilarious reading this back

    "SO ANYWAY, a Hippo swallowed me." - Somebody seems a little distracted. :)

    RE: Hippo, I was talking about the charcter, It's a great line.

    He lulls you into never were land and then the Hippo just comes out of nowhere . Hilarious.

    The mother of all Hippo stories, and one of my all time favorites.

    Hi all. I just did an undramatic reading of this story. Dunno if the link works, but my cosmic finger-crossing powers should swing the odds: http://www.mediafire.com/listen/cznwiwnj8dg0y5b/TheMotherOfAllHippoStories.mp3

    buddyboy4711, I was sitting on the bus, and this guy sat right next to me, and began to tell this story... Great rendition!
