So as to tide you over

Updates have been slow coming, largely because at any given time I am either way too busy, or life is just too overwhelming. It's been a lot of the latter lately. I have two stories to keep you entertained. For those of you who aren't familiar with the Purple Kangaroo, it's a story starring a Purple Kangaroo in which each participant adds 6 words at a time. The second story is a Moonbeam story, as they weren't happy with the Purple Kangaroo. Both were started by my brother and filtered through his AIM friends.
Names have been removed for privacy. Each color represents a person's six words. Enjoy. I'm off to learn how to drive a stick.

The Purple Kangaroo Story

One bright, sunny morning, the Purple Kangaroo, named Hoppy, was weeding his garden with scissors, when suddenly he came across a giant, smelly dog named Bill. Legend had it, Bill loved carrots so much that he ate too many once and barfed. Hoppy, stunned, grabbed the dog by the scruff of his neck and shouted, "You'll not barf here, mutt!" Then he threw at carrot at the neighbor's house and proceeded to wander over to the grocery store. Thinking to himself, "Why did I just throw that carrot? It looked very tasty. I guess I'll have to buy another one." Suddenly a bus ran over Hoppy. The end.

The moonbeam story
Once upon a time, there was a Moonbeam of the highest class that thought to itself, what the heck am I doing in this astral body, I'll go down to Happy Land and see what they give to THEIR highest class, unlike the poor food I get fed Our moonbeam slowly sailed to the Dining hall, shining in, revealing two bowls of dog food. This wasn't anything like the dreams Moonbeam was but it looked good nonetheless. So... he gobbled it down and went straight to get help. Eating Moonbeams? Bob woke with a start. That didn't feel like a dream, really more like a horrific nightmare that enveloped his soul, leaving nothing but a hungry moonbeam, lost and lonely. The Moonbeam wasn't sure he liked getting switched in and out of his nightmarish dream, and reality. But this seemed to be his fate. Glinting off a razor, it approached the throat of some poor soul. And bounced off the mirror into the toilet. Around and around it swirled. The person had flushed it! Heroically, it shined where the sun didn't. Unfortunately that was the end.

May I ask why you have a problem with printing ff's on your website?

 WordPad is kind of iAAy.Matt - Unknown Date 
I didn't edit them out, WordPad did. All the 'AA's were 'ff's when I copied it in Outlook, and as soon as I pasted it into WordPad, they turned into 'AA's. Stupid WordPad. Stupid Microsoft. GRRRR!

My guess is that it has something to do with the ligature 'ff'.
