Open your mind and say, 'AWW'!
Thanks for the feedback and support we've been receiving and the increased activity and interest in the Alternative Writing Workshop.
We think we can bring you three new links every week. These are Entries which would never pass the Writing Guidelines for the Edited Guide for one reason or another, but which we
believe have much to offer just as they are.
World War Two by Monty
The Aggressive German Generals / Glorious Anglophonic G.I.s present two stirring tales of tanks, guns, and architects. The
author, h2g2 veteran Uncle Monty has not been seen at h2g2 for a little while. But his is a fine
legacy. Read more about World War Two.
And for further study try the original
World War One.

Do Not Buy This Gift by LÒÒnytunes
Once again, the Kiwi curmugeon known as LÒÒnytunes has impressed us with his world view. At this time of year many of
us have to deal with gifts that have assembly 'Instructions' which are notoriously written in some strange alien version of
English sometimes called Japlish. So, if you're struggling with 'some assembly required' this Holiday Season, take a deep
breath, a really deep breath, and enjoy.

Sooth and Beyond by Lodestone
Before I read this entry, I thought of the Orkneys as a place to find good scotch. Having read this entry, I think of the
Orkneys as a good place to be from.
Everybody has to be from somewhere, eventually. I guess it is comforting to be from somewhere that regards itself as the
pushpin of the universe. I've never been anywhere, myself.
The author of this piece has displayed all the qualities I like to find in a good Sunday morning yard sale: grit, repaired cracks
that hardly anyone will notice, that warm worn patina that comes from years of being handled but not used (as we lost the
directions), and the lowest of prices.

We'll continue scouting the Guide for the good stuff and bring you three AGG/GAG approved entries in each issue of the
h2g2POST.
Your submissions and recommendations are essential to our
survival. We don't endorse breaking the laws of plagiarism, defamation or obscenity, so really, the only criteria are Wit and
Wisdom.
