Fellow theproedotcomnicks! the randoms are here, and as that school is starting again, they shall make all attempts to distract you from the impending horror, that is formal education, by reminding you of the atrocity of the randii. fear not, and be brave and know that the true value of education, is the realization of all the things you could have done instead. write whatever you want about all, some one or none of the following topics. to be clear, if you so choose, you may write anything at all about all the topics. you might also choose to write about fewer topics, or even one of them and no more. you will not be penlized if you choose to write about something totally unrelated. such are the choices that stand before you. you might argue that by choosing fewer topics, you are made to be limited in the scope of writing, but when considering the myriad of avenues you may explore, the difference in the number of topics that you choose or avoid, be it all, or even none is negelegable. the topics that are presented here (of which you may or might not choose any of) are: 1) shitake mashrooms in Abydos 2) the use of nettles in beverges throught the ages. 3) the contents of barring gaffner of Bagnialto. 4) wasteful practices of soul catchers. 5) Robinson Crusoe's discovery of America. 6) the annual steam train tycoon convention. 7)fake moustaches and jury duty. 8) the sum of human efforts. 9) windows 3.1 and ticker tape machines. 10) cracked turnpikes and square roundabouts . 11) wind turbines trying to learn to swim. 12) mack the knife, makes mac n'cheese. 13) the 27th floor and its ample easy to open windows without guardrails. 14) Hong Kong rock and roll. 15) couriers and their bruised wrists. 18) the brazen skipping of no. 16 AND 17! 19) forklifts and spooning. 20) the hidden message of traffic lights. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- normally, the randiis conclude with some quip from a film of particular importance. this time i would like to discuss something a bit more serious. Every year, many children are forced to live in homes that do not have a private swimming pool. they go to their parents and ask "daddy, mommy, why don't we have a swimming pool?" this needless tragedy occures on a daily basis throughout the world. but you can do somthing about it! don't wait a second and log on to www.worldswimmingpoolfoundation.com and donate as much as you can. to the World Swimming Pool Foundation. the volunteers of WSPF will make use of your generous donation to excavate, line, certify, fill chlorinate and maintain swimming pools in private residancies around the world. every bit counts!!!

Moustaches and Menaces

“Those idiots,” she muttered as she stared at the monitor in front of her. She picked up her half-eaten granola bar and took another bite. Her shirt stuck to her back in the parked van. She brushed her damp hair out of her face.

On the monitor, two men stood in a concealed hallway, away from the passerby. Only she could see them from the hacked footage, for the security guards were still trying to fix their static screens. One man in the hallway looked up at the camera and smiled, pointed at the moustache, winked, and gave a thumbs-up. She smacked her forehead. If anyone saw, his cover would have surely been blown. The other man in the hallway punched the first in the arm. She rubbed her temples.

”It’s never going to work,” she said aloud to herself, “That stupid moustache won’t make him look like Peter.”

The two men made their way to the jury sign-in table. The one in the fake moustache handed the ID to the worker. She held her breath as she stared intensely at the monitor. The worker nodded and pointed to a set of doors. The two men walked in, out of the camera’s frame.

She sighed incredulously, “I can’t believe it worked.”

Tears of my dad

From when i got my mind to analyse surrounding ,till now ,i feel that i am the happiest person only with my family of three ,my mom ,dad and me ,especially with my dad. A short memory of my childhood ,i want to share with you.....

I was about 5years old . my dad and me went out  morning walk to a field full of small green grasses like a mat.

My dad increased his speed and the tiny me ,who was trying to defeat my dad ,also tried to increase my speed with those short legs with the futile intention of competition .

The result , after 1 minute of run ,i accidentally fall on the grass flat by my face. My father just stood infront of me and observed me . He didn't have the slightest intention to help me . i felt wrong . first of all i fall because of that stupid competition with him,i didn't win and then now he was standing there without helping me. I felt like crying . i was not injured but my knees hurt a little bit . But i felt like he doesn't love me anymore. A 5 year's old child with a big head thought of this only reason and then was upset for a day.

At 4pm after my school ended ,me and my friend Rosy were were coming from school by walking as we are neighbors. While walking with her i suddenly saw a bike was coming towards us with full speed . i also saw that bike was out of controll and didn't know how to avoid it with Rosy. I subconsciously pushed Rosy to the middle of the rode to avoid the accident as the bike was just rushing towars Rosy,i was a little step asid from it's path.

Thet bike crushed my legs and i with that bike fall in two different direction. But i felt the sharp pain in my left foot. The pain increased and i was crying loud . i don't know the process of the rode to hospital bed as my only focus was on the blood of my foot and pain from it.

With blurred eyes,full of tears , i saw a figure was running towards me.  Whe i saw him ,my rears flew uncontrollably. I hugged his hand and cried again loud.

I saw a injection in doctor's hand and i again cried while resisting .

Slowly after the effect of injection i didn't felt pain so i stopped crying and saw those doctors treating my legs. Then i turned my eyes toward my dad and to my surprise i saw his red eyes with some tears. The 5years old me was confused that why my dad was crying. I asked "dad , where do you get hurt? Why are you crying? " the moment i saw those tears of my dad ,i forgot about my leg and trying to know why was my dad crying ? Super hero of my eyes ,now crying it means it most hurt a lot . my dad didn't say anything just hugged me and kissed my forehead.

Till then within 1 month, i didnt put my legs on the ground . He always carried me everywhere. From bed to toilet ,he was with me . i saw the careful attitude of my dad around me like he was guarding a doll of cly ,that will break if he would not be careful .

And now the 20 years me understand the position of me in my dad's heart. No 1. Those tears now reminded me how stupid i was back than. Now i am strong to withstand blows as he wished for me in that grassland and also  he is always there  whenever i need him .

I love him the most.

Love you dad.
