Top Viewed Pop Culture Bitstrip

MTV has/had a bitstrip account. They no longer use it. They do, however, have the top nine viewed Pop Culture bitstrips on Bitstrips.com. One of mine is number 11. I would like to replace MTV in the number one spot. To do this, I need your help. I have posted the link to that bistrip of mine. It is titled Steampunk. It is about a Steampunk podcast that Chris Moody produces. What I am requesting is that my fans post a link to my strip. Either in their blog, on their website, etc. requesting their followers/fans do the same.Please consider doing this so we can take down MTV. (Do they ever play music videos anymore?)

Here's the link: Steampunk

and the url is: http://bitstrips.com/r/QT19

I appreciate your participation in this.

Tweet me (@trreed) with your link so I may publish them in a bitstrip and a blog post.

A new priest

A new priest, born and raised in Texas, comes to serve in a city parish and is nervous about hearing confessions, so he asks the older priest to sit in on his sessions. The new priest hears a couple of confessions, then the old priest asks him to step out of the confessional for a few suggestions. The old priest suggests, "Cross your arms over your chest, and rub your chin with one hand and try saying things like, 'Yes, I see,' and 'Yes, go on,' or 'I understand.'"

The new priest crosses his arms, rubs his chin with one hand and repeats all the suggested remarks to the old priest. The old priest says, "Now, don't you think that's a little better than slapping your knee and saying, "NO s**t, what happened next?"

Bob and Dave, Part 4 of the On-going Love Story

This is a story I submitted to 100 Word Stories Weekly Challenge
The word/phrase for this weeks challenge was "A"

Bob and Dave, Part 4 of the On-going Love Story
by TREED!

“I DON’T KNOW!”

“Dave.”

“I just don’t know, Bob. Or… I forgot. I don’t remember… I don’t know.”

“Dave.”

“No, Bob. I know I should remember... but Bob, I don’t.”

“Dave.”

“Bob, don’t try to shame me into remembering.”

“Dave.”

“It won’t work, Bob. You can not intimidate or cajole me into saying anything, whether I remember or not.”

“Dave.”

“Stop it, Bob. It isn’t working.”

“Dave.”

“Ok, so I do remember. But, Bob, you don’t want to know. You know how you get.”

“Dave.”

“Ok, ok, I made an “A” on that psych test you made a “C” on.”

Skinny Dipping

Emailed to me from one of my brothers:

Skinny Dipping



An elderly man in Florida had owned
a large farm for several years.

He had a large pond in the back.

It was properly shaped for swimming,
so he fixed it up nice with picnic tables,
horseshoe courts, and some orange,
and lime trees.

One evening the old farmer decided
to go down to the pond, as he hadn't
been there for a while, and look it over.

He grabbed a five-gallon bucket to
bring back some fruit.

As he neared the pond, he heard voices
shouting and laughing with glee.

As he came closer, he saw it was a
bunch of young women
skinny-dipping in his pond

He made the women aware of
his presence and they all went to
the deep end.

One of the women shouted to him,
"we're not coming out of this pond
until you leave."

The old man frowned, "I didn't
come down here to watch you
ladies swim naked, or to make
you get out of the pond naked."

Holding the bucket up he said:
"I'm just here to feed the alligator."

Some old men can still think fast.

“Dave, the last two weeks have been difficult. First I get Crunched by some unseen assailant… “
“I tried to warn…”
“Stow it Dave. And last week I get traumatized by that dinosaur exhibit you dragged me off to.”

“When has that ever stopped you, Dave?”

“Dave.”
“Yes, Bob.”
“Why are you bringing this up now?”
“Well, the museum is having a new exhibit this week.”
“Really? Is it interesting?”
“I think so, but, Bob, you might not want to go… considering what happened last week.”
“What is it Dave? And do I have to go?”
“Well, Bob… It’s about dinosaurs.”
