Title: Drabblecast 100 is hilarious!

It's a really funny idea.

I haven't listened to Trifecta VI yet, but I do love the Drabblecast http://drabblecast.freeforums.org/ (http://drabblecast.freeforums.org/).

I follow the Drabble cast pretty regularly- I love the trifectas and the death matches. It's good (really weird) stuff.

So which story of the Trifecta did you find funny?

My take:

1) Cork Ringtone and the Break Dancing Pig by Mel Bosworth - funny, but not hilarious

2) Gerri's Sounds by Michelle Howarth - very disturbing, in a good way, very Psuedopod worthy

3) Cupid, Playing by Ken Goldman - funny in a sdaistic way

Just got round to listening to these today, didn't find any of them hilarious, Cork Ringtone etc. made me think of a bad Simpsons episode which didn't help as I then had Police Chief Wiggum and Mo in my head when I was listening to it (Homer in a Jesus wig didn't work either)

The other two I thought were really good, particularly Gerry's Sounds, although Cupid caught me out a little as I didn't see the live arrows coming.

Got to tell you guys that this entire thread is based on a misunderstanding. Originally, a technical hitch with the 'cast meant that all we got was a three second video of a still image, entitled Trifecta VI. I figured that this was a joke, based on the fact everyone has such huge expectations for an episode #100.

..which just makes the thread all that greater.

My fav was number three. Though Al's reading number one was awesome.

Ah, yes, I was a bit confused when I saw this thread as well.  So you accidentally pranked us as a result of being accidentally pranked by Drabblecast.

Al and FNH did a great job reading, but I also liked the third story best.  A fat man running through the park with a crossbow...delightful mental image.
