Every day, Captain Ryan practices using his most intimidating voice for the following phrase, "Hand over all the money in unmarked, non-sequential bills!"

Inevitably the cashier smiles at him and says, "Aww, that's cute. Now go wait for your mommy to finish, 'kay?"

Captain Ryan's magnum opus work now stands at 2,145 pages.

Now he just has to transform his bullet-points into actual scenes.

DJ was heartbroken when his application for Filipino citizenship was rejected.

He had been hoping to get over his inferiority complex*.

JoBird would like to stay a child forever.

The good news is he's got another eight years before he has to worry about that.

Drachen Jager is selling his virginity on Ebay. He heard it's a good way to make a lot of money real fast.

The bid currently stands at--hmm. That's strange. Okay, there aren't any bids yet, but there's still plenty of time to make an offer.

^ Drachen Jager is considering the idea. Pimping would pay to pimp his ride, then he could call his pink VW Bug the "Unicorn-Pimp-Mobile" with pride and sincerity.

The last time JoBird went to a restaurant, he sent his meal back, proclaiming, "I asked for my steak blue! Blue, I say!" The McDonald's cashier ran crying to the back -- Her training didn't cover crazy.
