Duffs Writing Challenge Round 30_silent Apocalypse vs. Duffy
By
Marie Milton on October 13th, 2010
“There is a storm coming in.”
My grandmother had always told me this, even since I was little, when she must of known I couldn’t really understand. She would tell me that something was going to happen. Whether it was good or bad, I never knew.
Now, 20 years later, I’m still waiting for this ’storm’.

Duffy’s Not-so-silent Apocolypse
By
nymphofairy on October 13th, 2010
Duffy didn’t know why the emo girl stared at him so much. It didn’t matter what he did, she still found interest in looking at him an awful lot. He shared three classes with her and everytime he turned to put something in his back pack or bend to tie his shoes, he would catch her looking at him. It drove him crazy, to tell the truth.

Silent Apocalypse was the book name.

Once, when I was five, I had a rabbit as a pet. The rabbit kept biting my finger so we had to get rid of it. There was something to do with a computer but I forgot that part.

By
Cebah on October 16th, 2010
Diabetes Mellitus is split into two types. Both types are a condition that occurs when the body is unable to utilise glucose properly. This can be due to the lack of the hormone insulin or because the body no longer uses available insulin effectively.

Come inside and I shall give you the details.”

No Way Out
By
Rod Ferrandino on October 18th, 2010
High up in the Furnace range, above the rocky valley, and riding more quietly over the duffy pine needles, Johnson knew he needed to get the roan to water. He had stopped at Sweet Springs, where he had planned to rest, but tailings from the Garrapata Silver Mine had poisoned the spring, as evidenced by the bleached skulls scattered around the area. Some of the skulls looked decidedly human.

Duff’s 30th
By
Fegger on October 17th, 2010
A scungy man stood tall, the dune,
A-lookin’ back o’Bourke;
Lyin’ doggo this afternoon,
With his Foster’s an’ salt pork.
A walkabout was more his wish,
Then feed his ball and chain:
“That chromo often smells o’fish,
And always must complain.”
He pondered sadly on that hill,
How his life had turned,
Drunken then, a one-night thrill,
New lessons he had learned.
She was pissed, and so was he,
She claimed she liked it rough,
Like billyo, mount-ed banshee,
An’ got her up the Duff.
“Crimey sakes,” he swallowed deeply,
“I can’t be bothered now,
To think of her is dilly,
That selfish, knockered cow!”
With this firmly exclamation
He set out on his way,
To walkabout frustration,
To wander far away.
Several hours then had passed,
And Fosters, pork now gone;
In his belly, full of gas,
No dunny, far from home.
He fingered ‘round his freckle,
‘Til whistles turned to weep;
Which made him pant and chuckle,
As he burrowed dark and deep.
“Crimey, ahh,” he moaned in pleasure,
“This’ll do the trick!
I’ll snag those rhoids o’buried treasure,
If I get myself a stick!
He dropped his daks atop his boots,
And waddled toward a bush,
Retrieved a dried-up thorny chute,
And shoved it up his tush.
Just then a Swagman did appear,
From where that stick was parked,
In overcoat, holding beer,
With a mask like Groucho Marx.
“Crimey! Who the hell are you?”
Said Duffy with a start.
“Bunyip or a dero true…
Ya’ nearly stopped my heart!”
The swagman looked him up and down,
And snickered at the sight,
“I’m lookin’ at a dinkum clown,
Whose arse is all uptight!”
He circled Duff with great detail,
Noted he’d cracked a fat,
His singed-up arse, direct impaled,
Then removed his dusty hat.
“We’ve met before,” began the man,
“You’ve got something that you stole,
About the time of potato and,
I think, the greasy pole.
I followed you to get it back,
And now’s the perfect time…”
Then showed his one-nut glowing sack,
Pointing, “here’s the crime!”
“Buggers, man! Ya’ bastard fegger,
Ya’ whacker, ‘ol one-nutty,
Ya’ sorry little begger,
Glowin’ in the nuddy!”
“I fail to see the humor, Duff,
I’m here to settle claims,
I think I’ve had just quite enough,
Of your silly little games!”
And then the bush erupted,
Feggers by the score,
Dancin’ ‘round the captured,
Screamin’ for the gore.
Then lined-up, all, one by one,
Lunging toward the victim,
On his nuts they swung and hung,
Scratched and clawed and bit him!
“Ha!” barked the Fegger loud,
“It’s finally time you know,
The way to stand out in a crowd,
Is havin’ balls that glow!”
Duff did wince, and Duff did howl,
With those furries on his donger.
Then twist it like the head of owls,
They started in a song (er):
“Silent Apocalypse, screams are comin’ from his lips,
Blood is splattered on his hips…Silent Apocalypse…
He knew the day would fin’ly come,
When his balls would be undone,
An we do this just for fun,
Silent Apocalypse!”
With that, the mob then disappeared,
As quick as they’d arrived,
The one remained, the one with beer,
And sat on Duff’s left side.
“Beer, mate?” the creature started,
Extending him a can.
Duff plucked the stick, and farted,
Then took one from his hand.
“Cheers, ya’ friggin’ bogan,
An thanks here for the coldie;
I’m still a dingo rotten,
And you’re a little shonky.
But mate, I must respect,
Ya’ left me still intact,
Old fella’s there, still erect,
Hey, wait, where’s my sack??!!”
The Fegger slightly snickered then,
And pointed there, beneath,
That where Duff’s nuts once had been,
Those feggers cut a crease.
“To steal a fegger’s glowin’ berry,
Is to steal his pride and joy;
Vengeance was then mine to carry,
You’re a Sheila and a boy!”
“Buggery, ya’ bastard, Shit!
If that ‘ain’t dinkum, true;
Now every time I piss, I’ll sit,
Like a Sheila has to do!
No worries, mate, I’ll get along,
Turnabout’s fair play;
I left ya’ with that bodgy clong,
Ya’ got me back today!”
“Think of this, nothing else,
And this will be enough;
Whenever you’re told to f*** yourself,
You’ll be able to pull it off!
So run back home, lose the wife,
Tell her that it’s done;
She’s obsolete with flick of the knife;
And start Challenge thirty-one!”
With this the two then parted,
To walkabouts their own.
In unison they farted…
Showing kinship far from home.
