Why Mehitabel_itrang?
I chose mehitabel from the book 'Archy's life of Mehitabel', it's a biography of a cat (mehitabel) written in verse by a cockroach (archy) who has to jump from key to key on a typewriter to produce it.
see here for more Archy and Mehitabel
Unfortunately It was already taken so I added _itrang i.e. Me hit a bel _ it rang

» World's Sickest Joke
my brother used this one while working as a Dj with his mate
*interrupts music* *pumps up mic volume*
Hey Dave, don't joke about the holocaust my grandad died in a concentration camp
*pause* *crowd all looks round*
I'm sorry John, was he gassed?
*pause*
No Dave, he fell out of his machine gun tower!
*stunned silence from crowd*
*quickly puts music back on*
*never rehired*

third shepherd
an all action part (well pointing at the ceiling) with the dramatic line
look up, look up, a star
I had a crook made of cardboard tube and brown painted papier-mache, as if someone had taken an excessively long and straight shit

» Have you ever seen a dead body?
only a few hours ago
I can't tell now if I was aware of it before it happened or if the noise of the impact drew my attention very quickly to it.
I could tell that its back had been either broken or crushed. The rear legs were dragged behind it as it tried to get to cover as quickly as possible. I'm guessing it's last instinct was that it had been attacked and needed to find shelter from the predator.
Someone ran over to look for it but we all knew there wasn't any hope. It's last action was to hide under a car, the very thing that had just hit it.
It was a cat.
I didn't bother going to see the body, there was nothing that could have been done.
I felt a little numb.

» I witnessed a crime
Did bugger all but then I didn't have to
Walking home I encountered a group of young lads who were 'tooled-up' with their own home-made weapons. Of particular note was the ice pick that one casually dropped out from his sleeve into his hand as they approached me. I lived near a football stadium at the time and a match was on so I guess they were trying to make a name for themselves as thugs or the like.
Much swearing and threatening as they approached, though thankfully so did the police van in the street behind them. A couple of metres before they reached me the van doors opened, out nipped the police, disarmed them and chucked them in the back. They'd seen the whole thing develop and so didn't even ask for a witness statement.
Result.
