About Irrational Diversions
Across the planet are millions of individuals trapped in cubicles working for their Overlords. Irrational Diversions has a solution; allowing you to protest and do something good for all of mankind. We publish short amusing stories designed to keep cube farm prisoners from doing anything productive for a few short moments. If Irrational Diversions can get enough people reading stories published each Monday we can collectively drop the Planetary GDP and make the world a slightly better place to live.
Irrational Diversions is looking for authors who want to write and have short stories to be published on its website. Typical stories are about 2 basic typewritten pages, and are amusing stories intended for cubical farm prisoners across the country. Think of it as a form of rebellion again “The Man!” We need people to stop being productive for just a few minutes each week. Your short stories may help the project achieve its worldwide goal.
Irrational Diversions will select and publish amusing stories submitted. Irrational Diversions will give you all the
credit you desire, or allow you to remain completely anonymous if you desire.
Eventually Irrational Diversions would like to develop a Wiki-Screenplay!

The Irrational Diversions Team:
Kevin Cotter, Founder and principle author created Irrational Diversions as a way to clear his mind of any possible productive ideas. Kevin was born in the backseat of a '73 Nova and was raised on a zebra farm in Western Wisconsin. His father was a professional Porcupine Wrangler and his mother was a expatriated princess of a Caribbean island that sank into the ocean.
Kevin never went to a traditional school, he was instead tutored by circus monkeys.
Kevin graduated The University of Hard Knocks in 2003 with a Bachelors of Arts in Advanced Underwater Basket-weaving after completing an Associate in Applied Science in procrastination at Gateway Community College in Atlantis.
Kevin never attended culinary school, but nevertheless considers himself an expert at making Kraft Macaroni & Cheese (more butter), he also enjoys long walks on the beach at sunset, and Scotch. Did I mention Scotch? But not that cheap stuff. Feel free to send him a bottle of Scotch. Or two ... or three ...
He enjoys the rich sounds of Miles Davis, AC/DC, and Pink Floyd to confuse and torment his ears. Kevin fears: telephones, clowns, and having his picture taken. One of his life goals is to become a ricshaw driver.
