An extra special Gratitoot for my birthday! 😊 For those who haven't seen Dr Alice Violett has written a very good review of my story The Last Philosopher. And I think you should check out her blog even if you have no interest in my story 😁 draliceviolett.com/the-last-ph @books @reading@fedigroups.sociall @fantasy @bookstodon @humor@fedigroups.social @humor@lemmy.world @aiop #Mastodon #Gratitude #Celebration #Indie#Reading #Readers#Fiction #Fantasy #Comedy #SFF #Funny #Satire #Bookstodon #FantasyBooks#Review #Bookreview #Books

In The Last Philosopher Part 1 and 2, by Nick East, we're introduced to the planet of Huom: home to long-lived sorcerers, imprisoned philosophers, ingenious “Knomes”, ordinary folk with varying proportions of human-ness, and all manner of other mix-and-match beings. Planetside, there are three storylines we follow: sorcerer Philrsep) fer Lyeasrakardsul, headmaster of the school of Dalcimir in the city of Pentakl, has recently been plagued by dreams of darkness and is on the brink of betraying his principles and asking the Knomes for help; philosopher Herschel is on the run after escaping the not-particularly-secure desert prison of Zig-Zig; and Earl Westman, marshal of the town of Stagna, is preparing to catch a notorious chicken thief (and alleged pervert) and bring him to justice.

As a middle-aged man I still identify with Alice in Wonderlands "required to play along with adults nonsense" 🤔 I'd like to suggest the subtitle: "10-years-old and already sick of your bullshit." 😂 @reading @bookstodon @books @humor@fedigroups.social @humor@lemmy.world @aiop #AliceInWonderland #Sick #OfYour #Bullshit#ReadingMemes #Meme #Humor #Humour #Funny #Geek#Reading #Readers #ReadingCommunity #AmReading#Novel #Books #Fiction #Bookstodon

Post by roach-works look, here’s the thing: alice in wonderland’s enduring fucking charm is that it perfectly captures the vibe of being a very tired and annoyed child who is nonetheless required to play along with adult nonsense. alice is dragged from place to place without warning, forced to play stupid games with no good prizes, grilled over her schooling and manners and recitation and dress, scolded, judged, insulted to her face, sent away, given gifts she didn’t ask for and doesn’t like, corrected incorrectly, been subject to shifting and arbitrary rules, and then when she gets snappish with all this bullshit everyone acts like a little girl’s temper is the end of the fucking world. alice in wonderland isn’t a drug trip or a nightmare or a metaphor, that’s just what being ten years old is LIKE. that’s why kids love it so much. even if they can’t quite articulate how, they recognize themselves in it.

What's the best practical joke you played at work? (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 month ago by to c/humor@lemmy.world

TL;DR: I created a rumor that our company was being bought out, which by sheer coincidence had implications at the CEO level.

Back in the mid-90s, the day before April Fools Day, I wrote a fake Wall Street Journal article about Toshiba buying up our company's stock, i.e. a hostile takeover. As a clue that it was fake, I made the Toshiba spokesman's name Igata Takashawa. I scribbled an illegible name on a printed copy and left it on a random manager's desk.

Within 2 hours my dept suddenly had an emergency all-hands mandatory meeting. The room was packed, and projected on the wall was my article. It was utter pandemonium in there, everyone talking at once. Because of April Fool's it was also "funny hat day". A few people had funny hats, but our manager had gone all out and was dressed like a pirate - black pants, big white shirt, red bandana and a giant gold plastic earring. He was British and strongly resembled actor Bob Hoskins - bulldog-like build, blustery attitude. When I walked in he was standing on a chair waving his arms trying to get everybody to shut up.

It seemed upper management was very disturbed by the article, and wanted whoever created it to come forward. They promised no recriminations (yeah right) and only wanted to know the reason for it. I kept my mouth shut.

A friend of mine, who worked near a bunch of managers and overheard their conversations, said their tone was like, "Why Toshiba?" and "Why now?" - as if the story might have a grain of truth.

It came out months later that by sheer coincidence our company had been working jointly with Hitachi on a top secret military project - a portable, battlefield ultrasound machine to detect plastic sharpnel, which didn't show up on x-rays. The engineers called it "the tricorder" because it resembled the one Spock used to carry. The boys at the top wondered if the article was a subtle message that the secret had leaked out, which could affect their ability to get future government contracts.

Anyway, I left that job within a few months but my friend stayed for 7 or 8 years, and he said every April Fools Day the "Toshiba incident" still came up in conversation.
