cool/funny/crazy stories

[hex11]

Post links to your favorite stories, preferably something entertaining. Erotica is okay if it's funny, but most aren't.

Story format should be plain TXT (ASCII or UTF-8) or HTML. No flash, javascript, PDF, or other weird formats. There can be images (illustrated story), but avoid posting straight-out comic strips.

I'll start with a couple links:

REMFS - a rock n roll band in a world of hurt.

The chicken show - the greatest dot-com loser story ever told.

It's old, but sums up pretty well how I feel about hardware. It works...only if it wants to. And it crashes whenever it wants to. That's why I prefer working with software; at least I'll know that if something fucks up it's (usually) my own fault.

Well, I don't know if these count...

The sweatslob (part 1)

The sweatslob (part 2)

And of course there are all those cool Jodwin pump-up scripts. They are awesome. I know because I wrote them -for the most part-.

Here's a little story I wrote, dedicated to online "competitive" gaming.

Jodwin's dream.

Don't read if you tend to take your online "competitive" gaming a bit too seriously.

And of course, the old Way Of Maes classic, The Snake, written by Jodwin.

This is a famous chinese story, the story also leds to a forming of a chinese idiom, 90% of the chinese may know about it. I can say this is one of my favourite story, it was quite funny. The story is mainly talking about a old idiot trying to remove a mountain using noobish ways because of shit transportations. Since this old idiot is a retard, then same as his families too, they all help him!

A english version of this story is located at lower bottom side.

As a system admin, that has provided me with quality inspiration since 2003. I make sure to keep an excuse generator bookmarked for when people call me. The number of lusers users that call me has subsequently dropped.

That made me LOL a little.

I exercised my linguistic muscles with the highly entertaining but now sadly defunct ZD-RPG.

The weird thing is that if I were to write a novel of my own, it would most definitely be fantasy, although I've read hardly any fantasy myself. :S

Some more old stuff that I stumbled upon via a Usenet link, back in the day:
The Life and Times of a 41-Year-Old Virgin

Looks like that site has some other stories also.

[hex11]

Some D&D/roleplaying related stuff:

The IUDC (Intercontinental Union of Disgusting Characters), and other tales..

The Tale of Eric and the Dread Gazebo - a true classic!

Oh, found this on the same site. Not quite as epic as the gazebo story, but still interesting:
A Day in the Life of You

[Sharessa]

Stories of LARPing:

The First of Three Epic LARP Stories
The Second, Where Things Get Serious
The Third
Another, Completely Unrelated Tale

These aren't funny and are quite possibly made up (especially that second one), but they are pretty amazing reads. Brace for Epic.
