Ninja Pajamas, and other good things.

Everyone has heard of The Onion. In fact, a few reputable news sources have picked up Onion "headlines" and perpetuated them as truth. So, therefore, posting it here would be redundant. And we all want to work against redundancies. So, instead, here is something that is kind of like the Onion's estranged second-cousin-twice removed's wife's sister's ex-husband. Kind of family, but also, kinda not really.

Bob From Accounting offers up quite a bit of satire and fun. However, it is significantly more approachable than The Onion. Unlike The Onion, BFA accepts writing submissions. It rarely publishes them, but hey, at least it accepts them.

The most so-evil-you-can't-look-away feature is Shizzy's Mailbag. Essentially, Shizzy Joyce impersonates all kinds of people and approaches other people on the web, eliciting some of the most bizarre and engrossing responses. He copies all of the emails exchanged, and together they form this strange conversation that progresses to proportions (and levels of conniving and cruelty) that will often blow your mind. No graphics (unless indicated), so relatively SFW.

The cream of the crop:



Shizzy pretends to be an Irishman moving from Dublin to Fargo and contacts an unsuspecting real estate agent, emailing with increasing elements of "drunkenness"

Shizzy pretends to be one of the Olsen twins, and attracts a rather unsavory fan. Eventually involves Scott Baio and Uncle Jesse.

Shizzy contacts a strip club, posing as a dancer looking for a job. It's pretty bad. Then Shizzy sends a picture.

Shizzy pretends to be an agent for a supermodel looking for a bodyguard. Shizzy reels this candidate in slowly. Then comes the information about the interveiw process that involves extreme paintball warfare and a competitive hop-scotch tournament. If you were ever wondering about the religeous and philosophical position of your local bar bouncer, this is the thing to read.

Shizzy decides to sell a *used* Real Doll. I'm warning you, this gets icky. But, you know, car accident/can't look away type thing.

Shizzy find an expert to help him out with a Vampiric neighbor. It's not the finest work, but the stranges thing is what the victim says and truly believes.

Shizzy hires a clown. This gets very ugly.

And if you're interested in a Shizz that won't permanently skew your morality, offend your deepest sacred cows, and essentially make you feel dirty, on the lighter side, Shizzy pretends to be TWO people to incite and elicit impassioned arguments about Star Wars vs. Star Trek. (Clue: Interplanetary Trade Wars are really not that exciting) This has a great suprise ending.

There are 37 total and this is updated fairly regularly. The experience of reading Shizzy's Mailbag is much like voyeurism - in a sense, it's like listening in on a prank phone call. It's a guilty, guilty pleasure. Enjoy.
