by Nils Erwin Length: About 6 pages I HAD MY FIRST BABY-SITTING JOB THE OTHER NIGHT. It was tough assignment, 3 kids – 24-hours. The parent was a family friend, Mandy, who seemed to have adopted the absurd notion that I was the man for the job, and moreover, that I should also be paid…
-Sci-Fi – 3 Pages – Package runner Alpha One-Six, nicknamed `Zeep’ to endear him to Joe Public and his slobbering troglodyte family, had only been distracted for four hundredths of a second. But in that time, he’d somehow managed to collide with a stationary object; unwittingly knocking out his GPS, comm-link, and access to the…
I awoke knowing the link had been severed. Tears stung my cheeks as I yanked the blankets off my body and stumbled out of bed, feeling sick and disoriented. By the time I made it to the bathroom sink in anticipation of throwing up my late night trip to Taco Bell, the feeling had thankfully…

“You slimy sack of fish shit!” Deputy Ploggard slammed his hairy fist down onto the grey metal table which separated the two men. His hand landed with such force that it left a fist-shaped dent in the middle of the table. The noise which followed echoed off…

Off we went, towards the fields. Antennas were ripped off of cars and used to whip Bob as he lead the way. Clothes were pulled off, wrapped around antenna and lit on fire. It felt like yet another Hallmark movie. Soon, some people were naked, especially those with the makeshift torches. The ones whipping Bob…
By Bob SenitramBecause nonsense don’t make itself… If you’re wondering about the 25 year history of TheWeirdcrap.com and thinkin’ “If they started the same time as Google, shouldn’t that site be a muliti-billion dollar industry by now?” Seems like it, but we don’t got much smarts in the business sense, heck, we can barely afford…
The HR lady and I stopped our conversation to watch. The song was familiar, but it took me a few seconds to figure out what it was. In the meantime, Bob drooled and attempted to dance as his limbs clicked and clacked. Then it hit me. “Are you kidding me?” I asked quite loudly. The…
-Strange – 9 Pages – The Ringing of the Bells: Part I The city of Laketown was awakened abruptly by the ringing of the bells. A thunderous roar resounded across the entire city, from the West wall to the Lake Gate and Fish Port. Every citizen was alerted, as though with shouts from above. “TREA-SON!…
I am the janitor at the McShwartz School for mentally ill children. ‘Nuff said. Every day I watch kids come in, and they most likely won’t come out in the same physical state they went in. That happened to one kid, and when his father, a military General had heard he was coming out, he…

by P.S. Gifford Charles pulled into the overgrown driveway and gets out of his trusted old MGB. “A house call!” He muses “I can’t believe I got talked into making a house call” He slowly walks up to the over sized front door and pauses for just a moment feeling hesitant. Ringing the bell finally…
Somewhere deep in the swamps of the malaria-infested jungles of a country whose name I shan’t divulge dwelled the man I had travelled across great distances in both time and space to find. It was Bob’s Grandpa, and I had come to kill him. But that’s another story so here is this week’s Weird Crap.…
Family parties can be difficult. Especially when you’re as fond as saying FUCK as I am… I was sitting too close to the pool where the kiddies were playing and saying fuck this, fuck that, fuckfuckfuckityfuckfuck, and before I knew it, they were crying. Being pissed off at our President for trying his best to…
Long Memories Mary Higgins sat there looking at the screwdriver in her hand and then looked at the body of her dying husband at the site of the new house they were having built. It was a muggy afternoon on the 2nd of August, 1956. She had only married Sam a few months earlier. She…
Hello! Stephen here. Yes, I’m alive. I took the week off from writing a column since there was something I needed to take care of. Less than 15 minutes after my deadline had passed, I received this email: “Just checking in. No column for this week? That’s NOT ok.” Well, it’s pretty hard to write…
Buckcherry—15 MoTW—Ultraviolet Before you get started here, go ahead and take a moment to visit MasterGifford’s column under the “Paperback Writer” linkage thing locatedabove. He’s got a request for everyone and even wrote a poem. That’s right; he wrote a FUCKING POEM. AND IT RHYMES! What a genius. I tried to write a poem once.…
