“Have you ever heard of rock music, classical, blues or jazz? But what about Platypus Pop? Well that musical genre all started when…” One day, which might have been a weekend or maybe it was a weekday, well on this particular day a family of platypuses was eating dinner. They were discussing weather the economic value of dilated wallpaper was having an effect on the governments quid info structure. They were all enjoying the conversation until grandpa Ireene (Though he claims it is pronounced Ernie, oh and he only speaks in Latin) started to argue about commercial funds decreasing. While this was taking place, Binky, the youngest platypus at the age of 13, started to leave the room and was followed by his father, “Why did you leave the room Binkster?” his father asked, “My names Binky, not Binkster. And I left so I could pack.” Binky replied indignantly, “But Binkster… I mean Binky are you going?” I’m taking all my birthday money and stetting out to create a new musical genre Binky replied with a gleam in his eyes. “Well I won’t stop you son.” Binky’s dad replied hoarsely, “I only hope that you find what your looking for.” And with that, Binky finished packing and set out.
Well poor choice platypus Binky headed to America, Austin Texas to be exact, the live music capital of the world. “Why hello there shonny.” Said a tall hot pink haired man with donuts shoved into his beard, “Um… hi.” Binky replied, “Do you know where I can produce a new kind of music I designed. I call it Platypus Pop.” Binky inquired, “Well yous in luck, dat what me do fer an honest leaving.” The bum cooed smiling crookedly. Binky was so excited he gave his money, all his Platypus Pop demo CD’s and all his sheet music to the bum/producer and left to rent a motel room, but the next day the bum was nowhere to be found, all that was left of him was a crumbled up donut wrapped in one piece of his sheet music, Binky, had been scammed. Binky, now broke, was forced to get a job at Disney as a stunt double for some platypus secret agent, luckily he was cousins with the actor who portrayed this particular agent. But even with the stunt double money, Binky was still broke, the country was in a recession and the motel had kicked him out. And Even though the President kept reassuring the Public, Binky didn’t believe it, he had hit rock bottom, hard.
Binky knew he would be unwelcome at home, even grandpa Ireene would be mad, but he had no where else to go. He decided that his dads shrimp canning workers got a better life that this, so he headed home to work for his dad. After the long plane ride home, all Binky wanted to do was lay down in his old bedroom. When he walked in the dinning room his family was sitting around the table discussing the controversial Buffalo vs. Waterloo vs. Steve Malone court decision that was made 90 years ago. But as he walked into the center of the room, silence fell, well except for grandpa Ireene muttering something like, “Et tu, Brute?” “Welcome home Binkster!” the whole family said in unison, “Dad I’m sorry I…” Binky started to say when his dad hugged him and ordered his butler, Grr, to make a feast, “Son, you were lost, but now you have been found.” Grandpa Ireene cranked up the radio and Binky recognized the lyrics, “And now a new hit single from Platypus Pop entitled, the Prodigal Platypus.” Binky smiled, then ran over to the table to eat some shrimp.

Voice to Text (Work in progress)
"And Narnia was then founded... No not Grounded, founded!!! Argh. Stop typing everything I say!" George was very angry with himself. What a waist of $3,000.99 . "Honey." Came the motherly voice from down stairs, (It was a motherly voice because it was George's mother) "Are you ok?" "George thought fast, "Um yeah Mom I'm fine." He wiped his brow and sighed. "Ok. Aren't you a little to old for Dally?" WHoops. "Wha... no mom, Dally? I forgot about him. Just a passing friend from when I was 2. He's not even real mom!" To be continued
Jargon of the Freaks (Work in Progress)
Bookshelf level, check. Space cadet uniform, check. Mannequin, check. And miniature award winning bonsai tree trimmed, che… Before Skypeo could check the next thing on his daily check list. The doorbell rang. He ran towards the door and stopped at the mirror to check his triple buttoned vest and JG tie. Check. Now he finished the last 3 steps words the door and pushed his spikey black hair out of his face with one hand and opened the door with the other. “Hello sir, I’m…” the young man at the door began to say. “Yes I know," inturupted Skypo "you are with the BWC magizene company, you just got stopped by the police and your car was totaled.”
To Many Windows (Complete)
As Waldo typed away on his computer he heard a faint buzzing noise. Not really caring what it was, he kept opening windows on his computer. Waldo had opened so many windows that he had 100 of them open. When he woke up the next morning he was shocked to see his computer on. He looked and noticed that someone had looked up sausage. Now Waldo was a vegetarian and hated meat. He only likes tofu from the Tippity Tappity Tofu store down the road. So Waldo wondered if he went sleepwalking that night. Again Waldo was shocked to see his computer on when he got home from work. He decided then and there to protect his faithful companion. He went to the computer store and bought a ton of spyware software. He also bought webcams and internal hard drive systems with attached zap rays. When Waldo got home he was not the least bit shocked nor surprised when he saw his computer on. He downloaded all the software and inserted the USB extensions to plug in the multiple webcams. He set up the internal hard drive systems with attached zap rays. He even set up a remote desktop connection alert system. Now you and I have no idea what any of this stuff Waldo bought is or does. But Waldo went to bed that night feeing safe. Later, that night Waldo fell out of his bed when he heard multiple computer alerts go off. He zoomed over to his computer to see… ugh it’s too terrible to say. Someone had ordered a box of sausage to come to his house. Waldo called the sausage company and asked to cancel the order. The woman on the other line said that they could only cancel orders that come from Yugoslavia. It was midnight when Waldo went to the Jr. Detective store. It was open 24/7. Waldo purchased the Baby Baskerville detective kit and the Super Sr. Sherlock kit. He headed home arms full and dusted his keyboard for fingerprints. Nothing. He walked over to his baby grand and played a song from the tofu store. Slowly he went to sleep. A few days later. Waldo woke up feeling sick. He went to the door and found a package full of sausage.
Narnia post
Intro
C. S. Lewis is the author of the chronicles of Narnia, and even though Magicians Nephew is not the first written book. It is the first book that should be read, as C. S. Lewis wrote, "This is... a very important story because it shows how all the coming and goings between our own world and the land of Narnia first began."
Conclusion
C. S. Lewis made sure to include many allegories between the bible and Narnia, but being a Christian, he knew there was only one God and made sure that we know that. And as the title of the last book was aptly called: “The end of this Story and The Beginning of all the others”
