Dirty Magic
The Irreverent Collection
Synopsis: From the frozen waste of Antarctica to the firey depths of Hell, Jais Nereis invites you to take a tour of a parallel universe where the girls are innocent, naive, and maybe just a little neurotic. Filled with irreverent humor unrestrained by taste or morals, these are the stories that will leave readers asking, "Why doesn't that ever happen to me?"
This collection is assembled from stories posted here, there, and elsewhere and is compiled based largely on the common theme of irreverent and irrelevant humor...Generally at the expense of myself, believe it or not. A few stories, two or three of them, poke fun at the men in our listening audience. At least one story is a satire and three of them have won Clitoride Awards in various categories.
Here's a random rant from the archives (it's kinda topical):
"How Plausible Does A Story Have To Be?"
As plausible as it needs to be? Is that a possible answer?
It's like, let's quantify plausibility on a universal basis. We'll call it the Plausibility Constant and apply it to everything we read and write. That would be so cool. Never mind approaching art from a subjective point of view; we can computerize it! Reduce writing to a mechanical formula, a Deterministic model of the universe by which we must all abide! Vanquish opinion. Gullibility is overrated anyway.
(I got an email once about "Blacksheep" that said, "...anyone who would believe this story id a moron!" [sic] and I couldn't have agreed with him more!)
Yeah, we need an entertainment to plausibility ratio by which to deduce our relative worth! Suspension of Belief could be renamed "Suspension of Plausibility" and taught to bark, sit up, and play dead...especially that last one. Escapism would be outlawed and imagination limited to footnotes and appendices. Every motive, every plot point, every aspect of the fictional world would be grounded in facts. Logic would rule the day and we could all buy Spock ears and...oops! We could all buy Johnny von Neumann hats and pretend we're displaced Hungarians. Theory would be recognized as the new old fiction it is. Deniable Implausibility would be the watchword in literary circles, a dark, suspicious phrase with which to label and libel your friends!
Just think how thin our dictionaries could be! Orwell was on to something there. (Animal Farm - Plausible or No?) We'd nurture an anorexic language in which the expression love, hate, joy, lust, anger, and jealousy would be tempered by the masterworks of Freud, Jung, and Dr. Phil...I'm getting wet, time to wind this down.
In summary, I have to wonder...Plausibility, is there another face of Satan more contrary to the mirror of our sweet disease?
best always,
rache!
