I didn\u2019t keep up with the updates because I was planning to port the site over to Word press to coincide with my book releases from Ragnarok\u2026it was a grand plan that failed miserably.<\/p>\n<p>Thus this temp site while I work out the details and swear a lot.<\/p>\n<p>While I curse behind the scenes, I hope you all enjoy the latest show which is rather good and is the bright spot of a rather entertaining Sunday<\/p>\n<p>But before we introduce our cadre of writers, a bit about the show:<\/p>\n<p>What is The Word Count Podcast?<\/p>\n<p>It is a free broadcast by writers for writers. Simply put, a theme for each show is announced via this site, Twitter and Facebook and writers are given a week or two to write AND RECORD their stories based on said theme.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>Why not, says I. It\u2019s a great way to practice writing and public speaking. It\u2019s another way for writers to get their work \u201cout there.\u201d And I love to meet fellow authors and have a blast putting the show together. It\u2019s just that simple.<\/p>\n<p>Okay.

Hail Satan!)<\/p>\n<p>Eins \u2013 Chris, why are you so amazingly awesome?<\/p>\n<p>Its possibly genetics or magic, many reasons have been put forth by\u00a0scientists over the years. The prevailing theory is that I am\u00a0awesomeness anthropomorphised, but I wouldn\u2019t say that, it\u2019s too big a\u00a0word. Rather, I\u2019d simply say that I\u2019m just better than the rest of you\u00a0peasant folk.<\/p>\n<p>Zwei \u2013 Who would win a shark or a hedge-pig?<\/p>\n<p>Depends, is it a variegated hedge-pig or a lesser spined laser eyed\u00a0infinity hedge-pig with armour. You people need to be more specific.\u00a0Sharks do indeed have big teeth but I\u2019ve never seen a hedge-pig go\u00a0bathing so that would mean the battle is on land and presumably quite\u00a0a distance from the sea . . . I would win.<\/p>\n<p>Drei \u2013 Some day you will be our Overlord, will you be just and fair?<\/p>\n<p>Not a chance mate.<\/p>\n<p>Vier \u2013 What is the most dangerous substance known to man?<\/p>\n<p>Easy, sticky buns.<\/p>\n<p>F\u00fcnf \u2013 The United Nations wants to turn your beard into a World\u00a0Heritage Site, how do you feel about that?<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m a little concerned actually that it may affect the beards eco\u00a0system. At present it represents the breeding ground for seven species\u00a0of rare marine bird, two tree dwelling mammals, a pack of\u00a0velociraptors and a tribe of part man, part machine pygmies who have\u00a0yet to be told their singing sucks. Also the beard likes to sneak out\u00a0at night and kill cats. In the end it all depends on what assurances\u00a0the UN will offer me, that and the huge piles of cash that I expect.<\/p>\n<p>Sechs \u2013 What would be a fitting punishment for George Lucas?<\/p>\n<p>Tie him to a chair and make him watch the 1978 Christmas special\u00a0followed by those three, those, those, ugh, ehh, uargh *sound of\u00a0intense retching follows for the next nine minutes* them frittata\u00a0goats piss, god damn it. Now I\u2019m upset, you happy guy, you made me\u00a0sick. Hope you enjoyed yourself. Ah, fuck you people. *Drops the mic*.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Smith is now available for children\u2019s parties and wakes.
