The Beginning

In the fall of 1999, an idiot sat in his room laughing to himself about some dumb, meaningless banter, discernible only by another idiot of this caliber. As pointless thought after pointless thought entered his temporal lobe and bled onto the 'canvas' in front of him, the more he, himself realized that these were...the most stupid, yet golden thoughts that had ever been streamed together in the history of man kind.

Weeks past and more paper had been gone to 'waste' by his idiocy, yet another young, enthusiastic, moron caught on this brilliant avenue to channel undiagnosed adult ADD. Legend has it that the two (2) would spend hours writing, normally while defecating in their suite bathroom, in what has only been referred to as 'The Fat Pad'. Filled with pointless and often times random, incoherent, offensive 'poetry', it's value today would be in the $100 millions. Unfortunately, the parchment was probably lost in a dorm move or possible vandalizing. Yet, this was the beginning of a literary genius.

Eventually, word got out that these brilliant minds were concocting poetry only rivaled by Walt Whitman in their dorm lavatory. One, especially inquisitive mind, happened to need use of the 'service' while visiting on a study venture. After an hour in the lavatory, the 2 began to wonder what the problem was. Upon breaking into the restroom, the 2 found the third flipping through the aforementioned document (The Fat Pad), and he had nearly died from lack of air supply, not from the gaseous reek of his defecation, but from loss of air from laughter.

Moments after the third exited the restroom, he had an ingenious plan: Let's type some of these things up, print them in the university computer lab (thank you 'general fund') and sell them for $1...it's 100% profit! The rest, as they say, is history. 500 of the first addition sold, notably marketed in the first idiots showing at a local talent show.

The success of the first publication, "Pomes", was so widely embraced that a second was immediately in the works. Unfortunately, word of the success of the book, also brought detractors. Government officials (ie, university staff) , chastised the trio on the grounds of 'soliciting'. Which led to sales of the second edition being pushed from backpacks like crack in the Memphis public school system. While the second edition still garnered moderate success (300 sold at $2 per), it never did live up to its predecessor.

A third edition, was leaked to the public in the winter of 2001, but with the struggling economic conditions, was met with mixed reviews.

Today the idiots continue writing, primarily at work in between clients or during restroom breaks. As they have matured in age, conversely, so has their writing. Now focusing on topics such as eating objects and talking to various animals.

One thing that hasn't changed over the years is their ability to connect to the reader, to connect to you; through not only the linguistic style, but through real world issues.

Please read and enjoy! Submit your pointless thought.
