I'm far better at non-creative writing. I'd much prefer to put some effort into something half-decent than present some of the poorly thought-out nonsense that often appears here.</p> <p>In this case, I think the idea is Ok, but I know it lacks something in the presentation. Because it needs to be topical, I subbed it anyway, knowing that the good-humoured folk around here would chip in with honest &amp; constructive thoughts. That's what's intended for this website.</p> <p>So, in the spirit of this place, if you don't like something and can't be bothered to be honest or constructive, just crawl back to YouTube where your witty repartee will be better appreciated. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=56946#post-164985 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 08:31:12 +0000 Squudge 164985@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Lovely, except the headline (I'd have read it sooner otherwise).</p> <p>Has God now admitted that he was aware of indirect and non-specific complaints?<br /> A nice quote might be (petulantly) "it's always easier with the benefit of 20:20 hindsight"</p> <p>Is the Holy Trinity some sort of ecumenical Coalition, or a family business struggling in the current credibility crunch? </p> <p>I'd leave Allah out of this as you are probably in enough trouble. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=56946#post-164932 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 23:06:50 +0000 Sinnick 164932@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Following several years of allegations and rumours in the Christian Times and Jewish Chronicle, God and his two assistants have finally admitted that they have got it wrong.</p> <p>This follows recent revelations in the popular press, where several Roman Catholic priests have been reported to be misusing their episcopal rings.</p> <p>In addition, the sudden resignation of Pope Benedict XVI has prompted further interest in his past record as a member of Hitler Youth, tolerance of paedophiles and intolerance of just about everything else; indeed, this has prompted a Mass debate in certain circles.</p> <p>God said he hadn't been aware of "certain goings on", but as CEO had expected his staff to report back to him. The Holy Spirit dismissed this since it was his job just to serve the wine. Jesus has also denied responsibility, reminding God that He's the Omniscient Being and really should have known what was happening.</p> <p>It is rumoured that God was considering standing down. Allah is said to be interested in the role.</p> <p>[hat-tip to Perks] </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=48862#post-141022 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 12:21:05 +0000 Squudge 141022@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>grinds on a bit</p> <p>corny (sorry)</p> <p>You could make the last bit extra 'terrifying' if the apparition behind the steel door was one of those massive restaurant-grade thingies.

Representative Akin for example just did his very best to prevent me being elected and he says he’s a Republican. So perhaps I’m running on the Democratic ticket. It’s very confusing. It didn’t seem to matter before.”</p> <p>After a brief pause for a Mormon cult ritual, Mr Romney continued, “That nice Mr Obama keeps attacking all these lunatics that keep slipping right-wing rants into my speeches. So perhaps he’d like to be my Vice President. Vice Presidents don’t need birth-certificates... uhoh... see, there’s another entirely inappropriate line that some bastard just slipped into my interview notes.” </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=47269#post-135767 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 21:22:10 +0000 Only Me 135767@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>The USADA is claiming victory against Lance Armstrong. A jubilant spokesperson announced:<br /> <blockquote>For many years, we have had suspicions that he has been cheating by using artificial aids. Now, we finally have proof.</blockquote><br /> USADA had adopted a careful strategy of taking the piss but Mr Armstrong succeeded in keeping his disgraceful behaviour hidden.<br /> <blockquote>Finally, we received a tip-off from a member of the public which enabled us to position an agent to watch Mr Armstrong in the act. We have a photograph that clearly shows a huge appendage between Mr Armstrong’s legs. There was little doubt that this was enabling this cheat to move much faster than was natural</blockquote><br /> The USADA is still investigating but claims that Mr Armstrong may have morphed his remaining testicle into an amazing two-wheeled device. Sources have claimed that Mr Armstrong was heard to refer to this device as a ‘bike’.<br /> As a result, the USADA will be redoubling its scrutiny of the Tour de France where it now appears that almost every other competitor might have been seeking this testicular advantage. </p>
