Welcome! OK, you found us.  This site is devoted to the creations of Jifted Kid and cheez_whiz.  They started as a school project. and evolved into...um...you'll see.  The initial humor is very 6th-grade-esque, but as you get into this stuff, you'll discover how devoted we are to maintaining the fun in our "productions." History Once upon a time, there was Marc and Jon.  And it was good.  They happened to be in sixth grade at the time.  The year was 2000.  In their particular middle school, there was a special little program called PEP (Project Exploration Program).  It was a program open to sixth graders only, and it offered a myriad of options of activities to do.  Now Marc and Jon, being the creative fools they were, decided to work together and do something... but what?  They deliberated for minutes.  They just couldn't decide!  Then it hit!  Jon sees Parody, Marc was reading Lord of the Rings, and it just clicked.  Between October 2000 and June 2001, Lord of the Really Shiny Ring and Other Stuff was gradually created.  A map was also drawn up (albeit rather crudely), and a vow was made to book-on-tape-ize the book.  And so passed the sixth grade , with the seeds of a whole new world about to unfurl their pink and orange leaves. Seventh grade.  New year, new outlook, new book.  Marc and Jon thought that they couldn't just leave their new world unsnobbitized, so they wrote The Snobbit.  The main difference between Snobbit and Shiny Ring was that instead of having ten months, they had no pressure to write it.  So they had much more fun in the process.  The Snobbit took a little over a year to write, as it was far more relaxed.  Since there were more Lands Beyond that the characters traversed through, another map of those Lands Beyond had to be drawn up.  In the process, the original map of "Overhere" was added to, subtracted from, and overally improved.  As with Shiny Ring, they vowed yet again to put the book onto tape.  In the middle of eighth grade, Marc and Jon took it upon themselves to organize the mess they had created.  They named their world the Great Big Loogie and gradually compiled maps, songs, charts, short stories, character descriptions, and histories into what would soon become known as The Ultimate  Guide to the Great Big Loogie for Dummies.  This immense historical undertaking took the rest of eighth grade and part of the summer of 2003.  Now that they had finished all the writing they were going to do on their magical world, they finally affirmed their vows and put all three of the books onto tape. Before that, they began their next undertaking: an original sci-fi comedy.  Fluke Pacemaker and the Intergalactic Pizza was started and is still in the works.  After that, they have plans for A is for Idiot, a dictionary of morons. From September of 2003 to New Year's Eve 2003, in whatever time they could take out of their newfound high school schedules, they busied themselves with nothing but a microphone, a synthesizer, and a karaoke machine.  But the fun wasn't over.  In 2004, Marc had the brilliant idea of archiving EVERYTHING on a gigantic website for the WHOLE WORLD to see.  And so, their story ends here, on this page.  But your story on this website is just beginning.
