Randumorously Good by Afro Thunder


How to Kill A Mockingbird (http://www.stanford.edu/~scodary/tkam.htm).
Unfortunately, those of you that visit this site and don’t get this, that’s because you weren’t raised right and are deprived of good literature. But, this isn’t about literature, or novels, or dramirony. No, this is about the most random s*** that’s out there. It’s sort of like Viking Kittens, or We Love The Moon, except that it’s longer, stupider, and randomer. It’s mind boggling how much s*** you have to take care of. It’s also somewhat annoying. It’s so stupid, that’s gone past funny, went to stupid again, and then just made it over the line of stupidity to humorous. And that’s the way it feels. Words like “Dramirony” just leave you saying, “What the fish is going on here?” And I’ll tell you, it’s called Random Humor, or Randumor. Randumor has been used for several years now, existing in such familiar places as Saturday Night Live or All That or The Amanda Show. It even exists in your public schools or at work. It’s all around you, and the only way to realize it is free your mind, Neo. Blender. I had sex with a monkey. Juice is found in fruits and vegetables. It’s things like these that make up Randumor. But you see, Randumor has a down fall, it takes away from the original subject or theory, it’s almost like a conversation changer, except that it’s more blatant and will occasionally get a laugh or two. And this Randumor has thrown off subject.

Now, this isn’t a movie, or a game, or even an old novel about racism and the human spirit. Nope, this is a website. Yes, a website dedicated to making you want to watch it again but you don’t know why. A site that says, “Hey, that’s random, and it can only fit here.” And it’s not only a website folks, it’s a small video clip. It’s very informative and…well…Randumorous.

It starts off like the average book report, introduction, a bit of summary, intro to characters, etc. But then, somewhere along the lines, it starts getting weird, with pirates, then girls that turn into robots, than more pirates. And before you know it, you’ve got ninjas fighting pirates, but not before entering a time traveling castle. Or fighting a giant bird/plane/Hasslehoff/blimp thing that’s covered in cold fire. That’s some freaky s***. I mean that’s the kind of stuff that makes you roll up into a ball, slowly crawl to a corner, cry, and continuously ask, “WHY! WHY GOD, WHY!”


Okay, you're looking at pirates flying on the backs of flaming sharks through outerspace launching grizzly bears at their alien enemies (alien enemies not shown). That's seriously messed up.

Now don’t get me wrong, it’s a good site, but how can you apply the word good to Randumorous behavior? Do you call Scrumtrelecent? Or is it Fantasteecy? Or perhaps even Randumorously Scrumtrelecently Fantasteecy. Unfortunately, it’s not that good. WoW is Randumorously Scrumtrelecently Fantasteecy. But this isn’t about WoW. It’s about pirates, ninjas, volcanoes, presidents, treasure, mockingbirds, magic slaves, books incorrectly labeled, ancient china, some ocean, fire, and a whole lot of other junk that’s too hard to keep track of. Oh well, maybe I should go watch it now to remind myself how Randumorously good it is. 3 Randumors out of 5.
