Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Not much to say about it as of right now, because I haven't read it yet. My father has suddenly decided that I don't deserve to read it. For what reason, I don't know. I think it has something to do with summer reading, but I'm not sure. I mean, I've never missed a single assignment in my God damn life, so I don't think he should worry. I'll get it done. Anyway, I'm just dying to read the end of the series, even though the books have been getting progressively worse. I have faith in J.K.R., though. Hopefully she'll make this one good. Not much of a post, I know. I'll post more later, probably on S.E.P. versus Camp Chi.

The kiddies cheer on cue.
Families come, if they're dumb
But then out they go
When our fuzzy people screw!
Don't expect the Muppets
These are horny puppets

But if you get a puppet,
You can have a hit show too!"

Lifeguards

This is an article which will be included in my forthcoming issue of "Breaking the Mold."

Lifeguards

Lifeguards have a hidden agenda. I know this because they wear mirrored sunglasses. And everyone knows that people who wear mirrored sunglasses are up to something.

Oh, yeah, sure. Their sunglasses are to “keep the sun out of their eyes.” That’s what they tell you. But I’m on to them. Oh yes. They’re not “keeping the sun out of their eyes.”

No, they’re using those sunglasses as a cover for their sneaky spying. When you hold onto the rope for a fraction of a second too long, when you dunk your sister, when you go down the slide face-first, the lifeguards know. That’s because they watch you. They’re always watching you.

Those serial killers? You know, the ones who watch their victims for weeks while planning their attack? I can bet that those serial killers were former lifeguards (or social rejects).

So next time the lifeguard blows his or her whistle at you, remember my words and be forewarned. And never, ever piss a lifeguard off. Because they might grow up to be serial killers, and then they might remember, and then you’re screwed.

Disclaimer: The author of this article is not suggesting that all lifeguards are fated to be serial killers. She is merely suggesting the possibility and warning her readers to be careful. Please don't sue.
