The History of the Imbecile Distillery
Come one, come all to a magical place where the moronic and ludicrous is fermented, a little humour is sprinkled on top and the whole mixture is stirred and cooked and poured into a flagon for you to take a deep, warming gulp from.
This is the essence of the Imbecile Distillery.
For many years I’ve wanted to write factual news stories about real world events, but also wanted to write fictitious works about great marvels occuring in comparatively drab settings. So, here in the heart of the Imbecile Distillery, I will combine the two and write apparently mundane news stories about weird and wonderful things! These will be signified by the tag of ‘Newspaper clippings’, as opposed to ‘Real life’ for stuff which is actually happening.
The idea came to me some minutes ago, and I liked the idea very much. Why write about some man getting shot when I can write about some superman getting shot? Far more fun! If you want news, go pester the damn BBC, I’m not your teacher.
So grab a tankard, grow a big beard and sing bawdy songs to the brass band as I serve you some idiocy for you to drink deeply.
