View the full archive of IFOC Podcasts Corn Dogs There's nothing quite like a fresh hand-dipped corn dog at the county fair. These aren't the pre-processed ones you get at the state fair or the grocery store. You can watch as they pull a hot dog out of the kettle, spear it with a stick, dip it in the batter, and dangle it in the hot oil. Look behind the curtain, and you'll see the batter-maid milking a batter-cow into pails, hot dogs picked straight from a hot dog tree, and the oil pumped straight from the Great Vegetable Oil River.

I especially hate the ones that leave a trail of sparkles everywhere they go. Sparkles turn to soggy ash after a while. You see the sparkly herd of unicorns prancing and running, but I have to deal with the disgusting grey piles they leave behind. Speaking of piles, did you know that unicorns do not shit rainbows? If you don't know what they shit, then you don't want to know. Just sit there in your fantasy bubble with unicorns and rainbows and sparkles. One day, you' ...

Ruplestiltskin was long banished into nothingness, but his spinning-wheel remained. So, she spun the wheel backwards, turning gold into straw. She sent out the straw with farmers, and then the princess with her spinning wheel afterwards. Brilliant, she thought. The next day, the carts were loaded up with the straw and sent out. Soon after, the princess began her journey. Midway there, she found ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website The Gamblers Vinnie and Joey liked to gamble. They were always betting each other about this or that. Especially about their hits. They were hitmen, you see. Joey liked to play How Much Money Is In Their Wallet? Sure, they always split the take, just like they split the contracts. One day, they took a contract, but the hit didn't happen. By the time they realized he'd skipped town, Joey and Vinnie were picked up. Right before they were tossed off the roof of the building, Vinnie said "I bet you ...

He had tried to explain how living was hard, with so many challenges and problems to balance. Nobody understood. So, he said “it’s like a fiddler on the roof.” They still didn’t understand. So, he got out his violin, climbed on the roof, and tried to play it to show them how shaky he was. “Tradition keeps us balanced!” he shouted. And fell. He couldn’t move. His neck was broken.

Maybe it's just an old habit, but I still go to the travel agent downtown. I think it's the desks, the window displays, and posters that draw me. One in particular. It's a beautiful valley scene, and below is written: "The Nazis were cruel fuckers and Poland is beautiful." Every other travel poster has a beautiful scene and the country or city name, but my eyes keep getting drawn back to the Pol ...

On the other hand, we keep the evil dishes in an iron-bound wooden chest in the basement. They rattle and clatter angrily in their prison, demanding to be set free. Not a chance. The last time we let them out, they gave the mayor and his wife food poisoning. We've tried to destroy them, but every time we break a plate or a dish, the pieces reassemble themselves the next morning. It's best to keep them l ...

The Army Field Manual has all sorts of unusual regulations like this one: Leaving guns out for the Bullet Fairy to reload. Smearing mud over your eyes to make you invisible to your enemies. Licking a jeep's steering wheel to make it start. I'm on my third highlighter already. Maybe it's some kind of sick joke? Someone's pulling a prank on me?

Armies are dispatched, and in Quintillis’ defeat, a distant cousin steals the crown for himself. Lord Julius laughs from his throne for thirty days, but when he wearies of power, hands the crown off to his uncle Augustus, not the rightful heir in the County of Sextilis. The war rages on, and the nobility worries for the loss of life and riches. An agreement is reached, an ...

His chemistry teacher asked “What's the boiling point of mercury?” So, he built an orbiting doomsday laser and performed experiments on the planet Mercury. The next day, he presented his results. "I meant the element, not planet," she said. She gave him an F. The class laughed. Odd vowed revenge and transferred to a different high school. He didn't wait long to determine the boiling point of the old teacher, her class, and that entire d ...

Many years later, after the stroke, Dan's son taught him to speak, how to shave, and how to tie a tie again. But instead of teaching him how to ride a bike, he went ahead and tried to teach his dad how to drive again. Big mistake. As Dan was loaded into the ambulance, he watched another father teach his young boy how to tie a tourniquet. They grow up so fast. He smi ...

They dust it for fingerprints… none at all. I wore gloves, you see. Yes, it was me, dear reader. I am the murderer. And that is my viola. The violinists come in, one after the other, but each has an alibi. It is a year later, he is no closer to solving the case. Good. Beca ...

He returns to his palace, inspecting his frosting hair in the mirror. "I am coming apart!" he cries to his butler. "Help me!" He tries to change suits, but feels something snap.

The moment you come close to perfection, the imperfections stand out in contrast so clearly. That makes it easier to find and remove them, and makes the remaining imperfections stand out even more clearly. The knife is steady, but the flesh resists. One final flaw, and this girl will be the pinnacle of existence. I put the knife down. I will not cut. No, there will be no scar.
