URBAN MYTH #1

I used to know this guy back home who would piss in a jar and put pennies in there and they would turn into nickels. Swear to god.

05/20/2004 qualcomm (1): holy shit. (matza, does this deserve a one, at least?)
05/20/2004 Mr. Pony (4): The Lerpa, you fiend! Tell me then, what's wrong with this one?
05/20/2004 scoop (1): Pony, you cunt.
05/20/2004 Mr. Pony: Oh for...!
05/20/2004 scoop: I'm sorry.
05/20/2004 Mr. Pony: I laughed when I saw where he was going with this one.
05/20/2004 scoop: Sike! Cunt, cunt, cunt. lalala!
05/20/2004 Mr. Pony: It's okay, scoop. I think even the best of us feel the need to call me a cunt once in a long while.
05/20/2004 TheBuyer (3): make the robot say it, I have crush.
05/20/2004 Mr. Pony: <bgsound src="http://home.nyc.rr.com/mrpony/audio/cunt.mp3" controls="smallconsole">
05/20/2004 TheBuyer: {TheBuyer has shit his pants}...call 9-1-1, I'm having a fucking heart attack. don't forget to dial 9 first. call 9-9-1-1
05/20/2004 qualcomm: pony, i think the burden is on you to explain what's right about this one.
05/20/2004 Ewan Snow (3): I don't believe this is true. Extra point for brevity, though.
05/20/2004 Mr. Pony: Actually, the Lerpa, as the very first one-starrer of this short, tradition dictates that you are the one obligated to explain your thinking. You obviously have something to say--just say it and stop hiding behind me.
05/20/2004 qualcomm: honestly, i just don't see anything redeeming in this short. i can't begin to understand how it even approaches funny or interesting. the tone is horrible and the 'joke' is gay. hence my need for an explanation from you.
05/20/2004 Mr. Pony: Fair enough. It made me laugh. The pennies turning into nickels, it made laugh. It's miraculous and unbelievable, but at the same time, it feels nearly pointless. And therefore, it's a monumentally stupid lie. This, then, is what made me laugh. I didn't like the invocation of G_D. Nor the italics. In such a short Short Short, I guess that should have had more impact in my vote, but perhaps I was making up for yours, you withered old miser.
05/20/2004 Jon Matza: Lerp'a: I'd probly give this a two, if it were the short of the day. Am assuming it's an early experimental effort. I think today's guest poem-short, on the other hand, might be a one.
