Flagrantly asked questions / Canteen


So what am I looking at here?

It's a website. A website that houses writings of Rich Zeroth.

What do you write about?

Sorta the whole gamut. To give you a better idea of what you're in for I've categorized each day's entry with one or more of the following tags:

absurdities: often nonsensical, often rambling, often written at the last minute.

found a gimmick and ran with it: entries in which I think the humor is primarily found in the concept rather than the content. i.e. Letter to sports from Brian, Funeral bulletin, 5th grader Billy Paterson over-utilizes his thesaurus, etc.

jokesy and/or skittish: jokes/bits I've written that may or may not have been performed on stage or entries that could work as skits.


monologues: one guy talking about something or other.

parables: earthly stories with heavenly meanings. also

rhymers: the kind of poems that rhyme.

shaky memoirs: true stories from my life that may or may not have been embellished.


w.o.w. coverage: annual bracket style war of the words tournament set to determine the ultimate word.

Author deemed A-lister: entries from any of the above categories that I'm particularly fond of.

What's with the pictures? They don't seem to have anything to do with writing.

You're right. They don't. I figured any reputable website should have pictures but I thought it would be sort of a waste to write a story about a robot and then put a picture of a robot to go with it. Instead you get a picture of something fun to say - good words you don't hear too often. Like 'canteen'. Say it. Can-teen. Ha! Great word.

Some of your stuff is OK but a lot of this is garbage.

That's not really a question but I hear what you're saying. I'd be lying if I said I didn't appreciate your honesty but I'd also be telling the truth if I said you were sort of a dick.

I actually like all your stuff. Is there more?

Not really. This is about it for now. Baby steps. I'll let you know if, when, and where there's other stuff worth checking out.

Flagrantly Asked Questions? I thought it was Frequently Asked Questions?

You got me there. Since none of these questions have actually ever been asked I thought that using the word 'frequently' would be a little misleading. Still wanting to utilize the popular 'F.A.Q.' acronym I decided to go with 'flagrantly' instead because I think you'd agree all the questions listed here are pretty fucking flagrant.

F.A.Q.s are a little self-righteous, don't you think?

Agreed. We're done here. Have a tremendous day.
