The Last Theorem
You don’t know how close I came to naming this one,
“Shang Fails Math, Invents Time Machine Anyway”
which still makes me laugh out loud for about 20 minutes.
The Last Theorem

Just a quick entry this time to let our readers know about a new book out by Omnibucket’s own contributor and regular Ology columnist, Rebecca Brock. Here’s my official take:

Brock’s latest work, ‘Abominations’ is near 250 pages of deftly crafted horror fiction
with a central theme of living (or not) in a world populated by the relentless and hungry undead.

Hey everybody!

We’ve been working like a colony of bees lately.
The productive kind, not the angry, “follow you up to 3 times the normal distance and sting you 8 to 10 more times than their regular Americanized cousins” type of colony, I should say.

In part, what that means is,

Scott Baio Raisin Conspiracy!

For too long, the truth has been suppressed.
Shortly after1983’s release of ‘The Boys are Out Tonight’ Baio dropped off the radar and disappeared from the public eye. What of those missing years?

What became of him?

Finally, a clue has surfaced despite the best efforts of those who would have the public left in the darkness of ignorance, and we can see, for the first time, the transformation that Baio underwent in the drug fueled confusion of the early 90s. That’s right, our own beloved Scott Baio is the model for the Sunmaid Raisins raisin girl.

Dried fruit lovers everywhere salute you Scott!

Just a quick shout out to all the homies in Iceland, keepin’ it real despite the absence of natural resources other than an abundance of geothermal power and a heavy dependence upon fishing which provides nearly 70% of export earnings and employs 6% of the work force.

Word up.

We just don’t have time to list them all, so here is one of the most recent responses from a fellow named Lee.

Lee lives in the UK.
Having seen “Brainchild…a collection of artifacts” in the collection of a friend, he was very interested in knowing how he might obtain a copy. Unfortunately, Brainchild has been sold out for quite some time now.

Nevertheless, Omnibucket scoured the ends of the earth until eventually, we were able to locate and buy back a copy for Lee from a small bookstore in Middle America. The book was sent and here is what Lee had to say:

Story by Peggy Mintun

She woke with the knowledge of a different place, and felt as though she had traveled from the far reaches of time from a point where such concepts have no meaning. As she lay motionless, she began to doubt her voyage, even though the memory of it had felt so real just a moment before. She was aware of a chill that resonated from her soul, and felt the loss of something she had once held dear, even though she could not fathom what she was now missing. There was so much to recall, profound thoughts to process, yet she felt all the knowledge that she had gained on her journey begin to slowly trickle away until it all seemed like an ordinary dream. A dream that was so significant upon waking, only to dissolve into nothingness over the course of a second. Suddenly a realization dawned on her. She knew from the evidence in her hand that one reality had in fact merged with another.

Hey everybody…just a quick note to let you know that I will be a judge in a

To raise money for the recent natural disaster in Peru, Southeast Asia, the Caribbean, Mexico and the midwestern U.S. , I am auctioning off an A/P version of this work:

I am sure you have heard the lament before; “artwork made by using a computer requires less talent than artwork made by traditional means”. Most of you probably already know the inherent falseness of this statement but should you find yourself in need of an analogy, I offer the following:

Talent is not merely resigned to technique, seductive as it may be.
