Not really too much to say on this one 'Rob'. Reads like a stream of consciousness exercise. Hope this entry doesn't annoy too many people. I'll look forward to reading your serious entry.

Cheers,
Tim.

Well, "Rob", hopefully, this is a big old pisser.  Love all the missing punctuation, including periods!  Ha.

Not really very funny, IMO, but again, let's just hope you were taking the piss.

Not much to say here, feels like an inside joke I'm not inside of.
At least it reads fluid like a stream of... =p

I don't know... I just don't know... Oh, wait, yes I do.  I wish I would've took the time I spent reading this one and put it towards someone's script who actually took their work seriously.  More importantly other people's time.

I think this is my favorite pisstake. The first page pretty much sums up my frame of mind upon hearing the restrictions for this OWC. This script is ridiculous so you achieved what you wanted to achieve with it. Good job, i guess.

Uh....oooookay. Whatever this is, it's pretty bad, even by pisstake standard.

Rob Grotnik??? Trying to piece it together.

Might as well come clean here Ryan. Meh, not bad. I knew what to expect going in. Bad writing,bad dialogue, no story. It had it all.

It actually reminded me of the evil dead series for a bit. Would've liked to see someone go that route on this OWC. Be a fresh change. Real horror, but funny.

A few did try, I don't remember. Anywho, congrats sneaking it in. Stevie's was better IMO. It didn't make it. It has Jeff drooling and farting in a wheelchair. Winner everytime.

Ryan?  Who's that?  This is Rob Grotn--, anyway yeah, I penned this magnum opus.  Wrote it in twenty minutes, but it reads like ten.  I wanted to make it absolutely clear within the first couple of lines that this was pisser territory, and anyone who didn't want to step in it should leave immediately.  

Gonna have to read Stevie's.  Jeff drooling in a wheelchair?  How did that not make it in?

Good gawd, Rob.  My expectations of this was completely in the gutter, based on the reviews.
While reading this I didn't know whether to Chuckle(s), groan or sh*t a f**t.  Pretty horsey stuff.
One thing that had me bust out a laugh for some absurd reason was the scene which read:

"The wheelchair pops a wheelie on a table but Larry's head falls off."  

I guess it caught me at a tired moment.
Before they kick Larry's head back onto his body, can't one of them do some soccer-like moves? You know, bouncing the head off a foot, to the knee, to the check, and then header that head to Larry's body.  And have the head wince with each kick.  Why not, since it's already dumber than dumb.

The best part of this is the the home of retired clowns, and now clown ghosts.  Maybe they could have all perished in a past fire.  And could come back with their clown suits still smoking.
I dunno, this one is funky bad, but if you read it while under the influence, I think it has some snorts.
20 minutes, huh?  What were you smoking?

Thanks Abe.  Glad some of those jokes found an audience.  For me, the fun of writing a pisser was ignoring all known rules of grammar, punctuation, formatting and storytelling.  Dumb in the extreme.  Really clears the brain.  

But, to answer your question, this was written without any chemical enhancements.  Wrote it and posted it from a computer at work.

I agree with you, Ryan. Pissers do cleanse the brain and soul.  I actually think they're pretty funny!
