Beer Good Foamy consistently writes some of the most creative and humorous stories I've read. Those are my favorite but the serious tales are also excellent. And since I'm crap at describing why something or someone is wonderful, I'll list the stories I've bookmarked. There would be more because there are many more great stories out there, but I generally don't bookmark shorter stories. An egregious error I am now attempting to correct.

• Like No Business I Know - think Snyder saying "apparently someone on the school board understands avant-garde theater better than me". If I give you the funny, I give away the ending.


• Proving that Beer Good can also write an amazingly sad story, Mission Accomplished describes Giles last duty toward his Slayer.


• *squee!!!* Radio Silence - The Gentlement come to Night Vale. Brilliant.


• Bavarian Fire Department - *does the happy dance* A crossover between BtVS and Scrubs. This always makes me laugh.


• Cryogenics - set in the Dr. Horrible verse. It's short but sad. Explaining the awesomeness of this story gives away the ending.


• The True Spirit of Christmas - okay, this is one of my favorite things. Take a youtube vid of David Bowie and Bing Crosby singing a Christmas carol together and turn it into an Evil League of Evil holiday party. Brilliant.


• Get Some Walking In - I can't say enough good things about this story. West Wing fanfic. Here's the author's summary, "Normally, anyone who claims that the US government might have a detailed contingency plan for how to deal with the zombie apocalypse would, of course, get No Comment. Which makes things a bit awkward when CJ has to give a briefing on it." The voices are spot on. The situation is delightful. It's awesome.

obscure or not obscure? That is my question.

Isn't the Thoth Tarot deck an obscure reference?

I thought it was but when I posted this to facebook with the phrase "I know most of my friends won't get this, but it is hilarious if you do." my aunt got really pissy and replied with this: "I wish you'd stop announcing that you think most of your friends aren't as smart as you, or haven't had the same education."
