All Comments on 'Harangue'

Dam near had an accident from laughing so hard, almost fell off my chair...

I did fall off my chair!

This entire story was a cluster fuck of epic proportions. Everyone just seemed lost and stupid. It's like the plot was written by a kindergartner.

Totally over the top story designed to gore as many sacred cows as possible. Really loved it!

Just what I needed tonight! Very over the top, toung in cheek humor with a touch of “reality tv” thrown in.

THIS IS PERFECT to read after reading Greif. It's short and funny and the perfect way to get over the Heart wrenching from it.

Are you sure you couldn't come up with a few more FUCK-UPS, and FUCKED-UP people. Crazy...... Stupid.... but totally fucking crazy

I wanted to give a zero but couldn’t find that option

Outrageously funny, sinfully politically incorrect, and vastly tongue-in-cheek entertaining!

You must have watched one to many episodes of Jerry Springer.

Absolute funny every time i read it.

when they put lights in Wrigley Field.

You manage to write a complete waste of time story, that is so funny, it winds up being so ridiculous, it wins!

Comedy is hard to write...But this was funny! Thank you for many laughs!

I love to read your stories, Oshaw! You're one helluva great writer!

What a waste of time! I did not even find it funny at all! You must have been on something when you wrote this CRAP! 2-Stars because 1's are deleted!

You don't even have the balls to post with a user name to identify yourself and you criticize this writer's efforts? Grow some, register, write something yourself, and let's see how good you are!

although to be fair this is just normal life on any british council estate.

I'm disappointed. Now I'm on to the next letter.

This is a true to life action packed romance story with a happy ending. Like Road Runner. 😊

Read it twice, but I'm still lost.

Fantastic. Slap hapy papy #9

Only one word comes to me after reading this story....and that is Hilarious.

Thanks for a very amusing story.

Great story, amazingly well written and very entertaining. A lot of authors on this site need lessons from you. Well done, Thank You 5 *****

Chuckle...chuckle....chuckle!!!!!!!

Humorous

But

I would have started hurting people

My humor more sarcastic etc

Not slapstick

3 stars

I usually like this author but I just can't stand this story

This is the lowest I.Q. story I have ever read on this pathetic site! Writer is just too stupid to even read!!!Zs

The fuck?!

that this is satire, and it's hilarious. LW would benefit from more of this.

This the only Oshaw story I haven't read. The others were terrific, but the 3 score has me terrified that it's a waste of time. I mean a good writer could pen a real steaming pile stinker and get that kind of score just because of his reputation. HDK's "No Reply" comes to mind. The comments seem to prove that.

So for us cowards who are still trying to work up the courage to read this, can someone write a brief synopsis? So far I read it's hilarious, but no reason why. Also, it's one star piece of crap, but no reason why. The story confuses 26thNC which I have a feeling is where I will be. So why bother?

No midget tossing??? lmao

Ya got to be able to laugh once in a while. It's satire, full of stereotypes as in one big joke. Besides he need a story starting with an 'H'. Signed: BTW

Nice Satire!!! Loved the characterizations...

This has to be one of the worst 'stories' I've ever wasted my time trying to read.

Your best story yet.

It cannot be surpassed.

If your gonna write a slapstick parody USE the parody tag

As this has no parody tag I will assume it is a sincere effort and give it 1 star

Hey it’s only 2 pages, it’s not like you are investing a week of your time to this , so give it a shot. If you like movies like Airplane, you’ll get a kick out of this. A lot of stories seem to get low scores just off subject matter , or an unpopular event in said story even though they are told really well. Read this it’s hilarious, it’s just in the wrong category. In my opinion.

Nothing wrong with a humorous story.

I saw Derek Trucks and Buddy Guy at Dohenny a few years back. Love the Blues.

And really liked your story.

What a load of crap.

Don't understand the outrage by some. Simply brilliant 😄

Great story of a cheerers emporium.

Hilarious!! PC annihilation a la Monty Python.

my god-what sort of drugs would someone have to take to be able to write such tripe-the mind boggles

Tried this one again, and maybe oshaw did write one story that I can't get into.

Absolutely Fabulous! Lol.

you made me smile, crazy story!

Great humor! Beautifully done! Had real belly laughs throughout the whole story. Thanks for brightening up my day! This one is a saver.

5+ in my opinion.

I am always amused at the blindness to life, expressed in the comment sections here. So many folks, buried in their own emotional view of life, can not see beyond the “movie” they themselves are starring in. Every fantasy story they read becomes a reflection of their own personal life, as if it is real. The BTB folks, frustrated in their unresolved real life pain, feel only the anger and revenge that I suspect they harbor in their own lives. When a story does not address their ongoing emotional pain with retribution and revenge, we hear about it strongly in their comments.

The recognition of our every day minor forms of insanity, by using exaggeration, is the setup for humor. As it has been said; If we don’t laugh…we will cry. It is through the acceptance of real life, expressed here through exaggeration, that makes life a challenge worth living.

I feel sad for those people who are in so much fear and pain, they don’t see life as it really is. One result is the inability to laugh at real life situations as depicted by exaggeration.

Such is life…Sigh…

Merlin

second time, I need a smile after Grief!

Totally insane but it was funny.

That was a waste of my time for reading it and a waste of your time for writing it.

Reading your other stories and seeing how well they were written there I have to ask. Did you suffer a seizure writing this?

You really missed with this one! It is so bad I couldn't even finish it. Try something a little more believable. Even though it is your universe, unless you tag it as SciFi, it should be somewhat believable. This one didn't make it.

What a load of rubbish. 1* and that's probably too many!!

Such a shame when the rest are so good

Wondered wtf was going on to start with but by the halfway point I'd caught on and the rest was hilarious.

Kudos to you for daring to do something different.

Lmao! Very funny! Laugh riot, start to finish!

A modern day imitation of that great scene in the Marx Brothers, Night at the Opera. Very funny, once you figured it all out.

After reading it twice I got all the hidden "humor" and still have to say; not worth it. 1 Star for trying to be funny and utterly failing.

GO CARDS!!!!!!!!!! LOVE slap hapy papy #9. ( bout tird reed)

I'm giving three stars because on one hand I think it's hilarious and on the other hand I think this story just touched me in the "uh-oh" spot.

I think I need therapy.

Seriously, this story is messed up so much I had to read it twice before forming an opinion. 4 stars!

Wonderful story! 5*!

Loved the irony, and the implications. At this point in our society this story is no longer absurd, but believable. Sad, but true. Thanks for the effort. No thanks for being right.

ABSOLUTE TRASH...NOT EVEN FUNNY.

er what ok i read it 2 times now maybe its the dyslexia but um what the fuckkkkk

This was very unpleasant to read.

Ridic and funny as F!

10/10!!!!!

Hilarious!

Shit💩

A fun story for an even funnier laugh! 5 Stars!

Over the top?? Naaah. Try my old part of NJ.

Laughed so hard I was crying. Gotta love those nutty folks from Chicago

Damn! From 1, (my first impression) to 5! Lol! Good save.

Doubt that oshaw reads comments any more, but damn! This is one of the funnier stories ever to hit the screen here. Pity that so many commentators seem to have had their sensayuma shot off in the war.

What the hell were you thinking

Sorry folks, but that was really bad...

Bwa-haa-ha-ha!!!

😜

Be well!

Too flipping stupid to read on.

lol

I have enjoyed your other stories but I stopped reading this one after the first page. It made no sense and was a waste to keep reading!!

Hilarious!

Only in Chicago, only thing missing was some shooting

Why is this scored so low?!? It’s beautiful!!!

Hysterical. Bravo

de lo que sea que te hayas inyectado o aspirado para escribir esto.... dame un poco por favor!

jajajajaa

muy bueno, hilarante

Such a dumb story, glad I finished it. 5 stars

5 stars worth of total nonsense.

Fucking Cubs fans! :)

This was LSD in digital text. 1 star or 5?

Well, the neon fairie who is flashing me her tits is suggesting 5 so who am I to argue?

This is quite unlike Oshaw. Too illogical and unbelievable. I will magnanimously give 2 stars because of your other wonderful outputs.

A farce on warp drive. Monty Python would be jealous.

Outstandingly hilarious 😂 total pythonesque satire. Truly brilliant 👏 👌 BardnotBard

of whatever it is you injected or took or however you consumed ..... to write this .... give me some please!

hahahahahahahaa

very good, hilarious

Crazy story. Thanks for your writing.

LMAO

Never made it past halfway through the first page. Really tiresome. (Has nobody ever told her about 911?) Again, too tiresome for comedy or serious writing. Two stars, and that includes a one star gift.

JPB

Absolute shit!

Apparently some folks here have no appreciation of written slapstick. Too bad for them. Good for those of us who have a sense of humor.

Jeez, I’m not sure what even to comment on this. ( I can’t say story) A waste. I’ve loved all of your other stories. LM

Wow. Every writer has thier stinker of a story. Imho, this is oshaw's. The story is so weird 😕, I can't rate it. Don't get me wrong, I am a solid fan of this author, however...this story? Wow. Just wow.

Hi how are you? Sorry, my bad... How high are you? Seriously this story is hilarious. It's a dumpster fire, but it's a hilarious dumpster fire, and so different from your normal work that I can only assumr you were enjoying one hell of a trip while writing this. That, or you're actuall tied up in a basement somewhere and this is your attempt of sending out a coded cry for help without letting your captors know. Either way, you had me laughing my arse off. Dan is right. BEST SOAP OPERA EVER.

Surprisingly my favorite author also wrote my least favorite story.

Not bad. But, I think it would have been if I had been drunk when I read it.

Makes absolutely no sense. You lost me at the point where the police and cps were called.
