    Golf

    Andrew Stephens doesn't approve of golf, but perhaps not for the reason you're thinking of.

  • Screenshot showing an email allegedly from Fulwood Academy to Dan Q.

    Permanent Record

    I spent my school years being told that things would go on my permanent record. But it looks like that's not so-permanent as I was lead to believe.

  • A screenshot of SkiFree running in Windows 3.1 with a bunch of quirky edits. The window is warped to include a "Shroom Supply" with lots of mushroms, a sign advertises bagels, a helicopter has landed, two monsters are let's-say hugging on the ground, and the score box states Age, Sex, Location and Star Sign. The title of the window is "SkiFreeeeeeee".

    SkiFreeeeeeee

    Rob wants to play Solitaire, but I want to play SkiFree.

    A Stupid Joke About Elephants

    It was too hot to sleep, so I learned about how to differentiate species' of elephant from one another instead. And then I thought of a really, really stupid joke, which you now get to experience too...

  • Full image of Screenshot from a Gender field on a form (with radiobutton options "Genderqueer/Non-Binary", "Man", "Woman", and "Fill in the Blank"). A wrapping/spacing issue has made a "clear" link appear very close to the field label "Gender", making it look like the word "Genderclear", which sounds a little like "Genderqueer".

    Screenshot from a Gender field on a form (with radiobutton options "Genderqueer/Non-Binary", "Man", "Woman", and "Fill in the Blank"). A wrapping/spacing issue has made a "clear" link appear very close to the field label "Gender", making it look like the word "Genderclear", which sounds a little like "Genderqueer".

    Breakpoint issues always make me feel a bit "genderclear".

  • I saw a variation of this email back in the day, which provides a Mad Libs style approach to formulating a country & western song. When I was reminded of it today, I adapted it for Perchance. Give it a go!

    A Proper Cup of Tea

    This "choose your own adventure"-style game about making the perfect cup of tea is just... excellent. If you lack the imagination to understand how a game like this could have dozens of possible endings, you desperately need to play it.

  • Composite image showing (1) a woman at an alpine terrace bar wearing a red-and-white striped jumper, and (2) a skiier wearing a yellow-and-black striped snowsuit. They look somewhat like Wilma and Odlaw from the Where's Wally?/Where's Waldo? series of books.

    Where?

    I'm pretty sure that Wally/Waldo, Woof, and Wizard Whitebeard must be out on this mountain somewhere, too.
