The Cut
When are you going to get a REAL job?

By the author with AI
Hi Mum, yeh, I made the cut. I’ve got a real job and I even get my own computer!
Cut, cut, cut. Paste, paste, paste. Don’t let all this digital garbage go to waste.
Cut the string Cut the chord The Mother of Invention comes at the moment you get bored.
Cut the crap Take a nap Find somewhere that Google hasn’t put on the map.
I’m alone right now But that is fine You need to be comfortable spending time in your own mind.
Copy, copy, copy Makes your life sloppy Cut, paste and copy Off that old floppy
Save as this, save as that Where’s it at?
That’s a question I’ll have to ask, of my cat.

100 Words. No more, no less. Except for the bit where he’s chatting to his mum on the phone.
Author’s Note
Now that the Cucumber Man story has gone audiovisual a rather nasty individual called Mr Continuity has entered the room. Thus, the addition of the phone call to mum to create a sense of how we get from Episode #2 to Episode #3.
I’ve created a playlist on Youtube where you can view all the released episodes from start to finish. A great way to catch up if you’re new here!

Is this the most exciting televisual experience to come out of Australia since the axing of Arcade on 29th February 1980 after barely a month on air? You bet it is!†

Enough of the paid shilling by an unnamed Deluded Custodian. They charge by the word, you know. Bring on the bloopers!
