I'd be tasked with finding model kits, tools and supplies, paint - the standard fare for such activities. Then, one day, he asked for horse glue. It took

Making tigers disappear

2025/10/25

Siegfried and Roy were stage musicians who used lasers, glitter, and white suits to amaze millions of fans who came to watch them on their Las Vegas stage. They paraded their white tigers and exotic animals around, making them leap and disappear. Roy was attacked by one of their white tigers and took years to recover before returning to the stage. He died during the Coronavirus pandemic. The next year, Siegfried died of cancer. Magic? The truth is, anybody can make tigers disappear. Well, more like

Not worth a dime

2025/10/24

President Roosevelt's face is on the dime because of The March of Dimes. Roosevelt had Polio, and The March of Dimes raised money for research to cure Polio. George Washington owned quarter horses, so his head went on the quarter. Abraham Lincoln said "A penny for your thoughts" to his wife before he was shot and killed, so his head is on the penny. Thomas Jefferson's life wasn't worth a plugged nickel, said his angry neighbor who argued over a border fence between their farms, so his head is on the

Bob the butcher

The 100 Word Stories Podcast ·

2025/10/23

Bob the Butcher was the best butcher around. He had the best meats, the best knives, the cleanest store, the most generous scales, and the biggest smile. Whatever you wanted, you could get. And you could get it any way you wanted. He could slice meat so thin, it only had one side. The sausages were blended to perfection. So fast with his knives, there never was a line, and the Take A Number dispenser still had the original 1 on it. He even had a bone for every dog. As he lured them into the back

2025/10/22

The manager took the waitress aside. See the guy at table seven? The one with the wild hair. He's rich. He's famous. He's a good tipper. So, treat him nice. Okay, said the waitress. Famous last words, I suppose. The next day, she was found dead at the guy's mansion. The guy claimed she'd shot herself. Suicide? Accident? Just as long as it wasn't him. Because he was a success, and she was a failure. Guilty, they said. See the guy in cell seven? The one with the wild hair. He's rich. He's famous. And

Birth person

The 100 Word Stories Podcast ·

2025/10/21

Angry leftists want people to stop using the term "Mother" and instead use the term "Birth Person." They think the term "Mother" is sexist and denigrates transgender people or something. By trying to change the term, they're denigrating Foster Mothers and Adoptive Mothers. People who step in and try to help a child who's been abandoned or given up by the person who gave birth to them. People trying to ruin the language can be some seriously stupid motherfuckers sometimes. And I mean motherfuckers

Grandpoisoner

The 100 Word Stories Podcast ·

2025/10/20

My grandfather ran a chain of drycleaning stores. Buttons would fall off of the clothes, and we'd get boxes of shiny buttons of so many colors and shapes and sizes. We'd also get maids who'd "retired" from the drycleaning stores. All were old and sick, and none lasted longer than a month or two. My grandfather eventually lost all the drycleaners. He'd been sued into ruin because his workers were all dying from carbon tetrachloride poisoning. And he was too, leaving my grandmother destitute and

Pixies

The 100 Word Stories Podcast ·

2025/10/18

A few decades ago, some dude took out an insurance policy on his two kids. Then he spiked some Pixie Stix with cyanide. He gave it to his kids and some neighbors. In the end, only one kid actually ate the candy... his youngest. Ever since then, paranoia about poisoned candy, razor blades in apples, and other evil fills the news. Even though incidents of such tampering are few and far between. The candy is quite safe these days. As kids go around in black witches cloaks and grim reaper robes on unlit

My grandmother lived to ninety-nine. Her husband, a drycleaner sued into bankruptcy by workers poisoned by carbon tetrachloride, left her broke. She remarried. The stepfather of a real estate mogul. But he died, leaving her broke again. Her younger daughter took her in, stole all the heirlooms. Then her eldest daughter, my mother, took her in. I was told my grandmother died of old age. But I was lied to. She drained my parents' assets dry, and my mother harassed and tormented her for it. So she

Cinco no mayo

2025/10/11

Most secret sauces include mayo. Most special sauces include mayo. I'm allergic to eggs, so I'm allergic to mayo. I used to love mayo, but now I despise it. I fear it. I loathe it. I truly detest mayo and what it does to my body. If I say no mayo, I mean no mayo. NO MAYO! IN ANYTHING! No mayo, no mayo sauces, no mayo dressings, no mayo anything. If your clothes are made out of miracle mayo fiber, you'd better be bare-assed naked when you hand me my burger. With no mayo on it. Or secret special

I hate the Hallmark Channel

The 100 Word Stories Podcast ·

2025/10/10

Just as fast food commercials lure you into eating food that causes diabetes, heart disease, and strokes, the Hallmark Channel movies lure you into feeling guilt, regret, and a mistaken desire to forgive and reconnect with the toxic people who fucked you up as a kid. I'd love to see a parody of these movies where someone goes back to that small town, sees how shitty everyone was and still is to them, doesn't fall for their nostalgia trap, and leaves. Oh, and they bang that still hot old flame

The tambourine player

2025/10/09

Billy played bass. Roger played the drums. John was lead guitar. And he wrote all the songs. Mark did keyboards and vocals. And Janet did the tambourine. Everybody got paid equal shares. After a while, John got pissed off at Janet because she didn't want to sing. "You just bang a tambourine," he said. Sure, she looked good on stage. And on the posters and album covers. But getting paid the same as the songwriter-guitarist and the keyboard-playing vocalist, they got mad and let her go. Janet banged

2025/10/08

When I see some famous athlete or celebrity in an insurance company's commercial, I hope that they suffer some grievous injury or loss. A season-ending break, or a raging wildfire that destroys their mansion. And they have to suffer through the same claims process and rejection that ordinary people suffer through. But the thing is, they won't. They'll scream how they're the famous athlete or celebrity in the commercials. And get special treatment. The insurance company paying out more millions to

I don't give a shit what you are, what color your skin color is, what gets you off (as long as it's not kids), what you pray to, and where you are. All I care is: do the job. Go to the toilet and pray to Neptune the sea god for all I care. Just get out of the way when I need to take a shit. As for your multicolored separate diversity flags, the only flag I fly is at Pancho's Mexican Buffet which is used to signal the wait staff to bring more chips and refills for drinks.

2025/10/06

Grimbles Academy boasts an excellent teaching reputation, graduation rate, and college placement test score averages. This is due to the massive Alfonse Grimbles Endowment. They can afford the best of everything. The best facilities, the best teachers. But not quite the best students. You see, the Endowment requires that at least one Grimble is enrolled at all times. Which is awkward, since Alfonse left everything to the Endowment and left his descendants destitute. The well-to-do student body

I hated Brussels Sprouts. I also hated any boiled vegetable. Raw, I liked. Put a salad in front of me any day. But boiled vegetables? Awful. Still think that these days. So, when my mother said "Well, you need to try different things" and I tried it and hate it, what kind of asshole MAKES IT AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN? What? It doesn't taste like mushy vomit the second and third and eleventy billionth time? And if I don't like it, I'm the one who's wrong? What? No, mother... you were a fucking

Faith healer

The 100 Word Stories Podcast ·

2025/10/03

Ah, faith healers. Claiming to do God's will. The thing I've never understood about faith healers is when they grow old and end up in the hospital with something terminal. "Can't you just heal yourself?" I want to ask them. But I already know their answer. They all say it... God wants them back. Then why go into the hospital? I mean, if it's God's will, why resist with doctors and nurses and medicine and surgery? But I know it's all a lie... because I was a nurse. And I gave a faith healer sugar
