As is per usual...
I seem to only update this journal with silly stories. This is mainly because not much interesting is going on. I've been working at a recording studio in South Carolina as of late, and other than that I've been bumming around the house annoying cats and playing Xbox 360.
Story time!
We begin our story in the lowly dredges of a macintosh computer keyboard. The person typing on it could not seem to figure out how to produce the 'british pound' symbol. He had tried many things, including holding every modifier and every conceivable number key. Nothing seemed to work. Too lazy to look up the key combination to produce the symbol, he merely decides that an 80-GBP hat should be referred to as 'an eighty pound hat,' much to the chagrin of all the characters in the story.
For instance, the keyboard disliked having so many of its usual buttons pushed, and quite missed having it's modifier keys pressed in unusual ways. This was a very easily annoyed keyboard, as many of it's keys were covered with degrading, colorful stickers.
The marmalade was generally unhappy, and wondered what on earth anyone would do with an 80 pound hat, except perhaps use it for protection against an 8800 pound gorilla. "Seriously," thought the marmalade, "What use is it?"
The 8800 pound Gorilla, whom we shall call King Shuntyjiggers, decided that the Marmalade was unimportant, and smelled tasty, so he ate it. The marmalade wished it had an 80 pound hat to protect itself. Oddly enough, King Shuntyjiggers _was_ in possession of an 80 pound hat, in that it both weighed 80 pounds, and cost 80 pounds of helium. That helium was hard to come by in such quantities, so Shuntyjiggers assumed (rightly so) that it was worth it.
The hat was made of pork. Or, more determinately, was a pig. His name was Hubert. Hubert's life was a tough one, until he met Shuntyjiggers. Hubert had been raised in a sewer by a pack of mobsteresque geese. From a young age, Hubert had been forced to fight other beasts in the sewers, and nearly always won -- except for his last match, when the other mob family (a gaggle of six-legged rats calling themselves 'The Buntyforce') had somehow imported a live New York Sewer Alligator named Yu. Yu needed some friends, and so made a deal with Hubert:
"If you let me win, I promise I won't eat you."
This seemed like a good enough plan to Hubert, until after having lost his match he found out that he was to be sold into slavery as a hat, which is where King Shuntyjiggers comes in.
Strangely to Hubert, Shuntyjiggers was a rather amiable fellow, not at all like the horrible geese from the sewer.
Shuntjiggers and Hubert got along splendidly, while the Buntyforce and the Geese slowly destroyed each other with slightly chewed pens.
The marmalade later infiltrated the keyboard, and neither of them were very happy with the arrangement.
