About this ebook
Once in a while, I'll write a story that contains an item, a scene, or an action that might be considered inappropriate for classroom reading. So that story can't go into one of my Weenies collections. But that doesn't mean it isn't a good story. I've gathered a selection of stories about inappropriate things like stealing steroids, getting hooked on a casino-gambling game, or fooling around with an alien death ray, and tossed in some other tales my fans might enjoy.

A Quick Introduction
I write a lot of short stories. Many of you are familiar with my collections, such as Attack of the Vampire Weenies and The Battle of the Red Hot Pepper Weenies. Those books are very popular in schools. Once in a while, I'll write a story that contains an item, a scene, or an action that might be inappropriate for a classroom. So if a story involves bringing a weapon to school (even if it is a seemingly useless alien death ray), gambling in a casino (even if it is in a video game), or stealing steroids (okay — that one is just plain bad), that story wouldn't, and shouldn't, go into the Weenies books. I don't want my books to get banned from any school, and I don't want to cause problems for teachers or librarians. But, thanks to how amazingly easy and inexpensive it is to produce an ebook, I can now share these stories with my fans. By the way, if your parents have a problem with a book of inappropriate
stories, tell them, I'm pretty sure the author is using the word ironically.
That will both satisfy and impress them. As for the rest of the title, I say mostly
because not all of the stories have inappropriate elements. Some are just weird or twisted, and some just didn’t seem right for the Weenies collections. But all of them are good. Enjoy.
Big Otto's Casino
Thanks, Mrs. Zambini,
I said as my last customer of the day paid me. Phew. I'd been mowing lawns all week and I was beat. But now for the good part — spending the money.
I stopped at my friend Mike's house on the way into town. It's even more fun spending money when you bring someone along. We headed for Video Kingdom. They had a great selection of games, and the prices were pretty good.
Watcha gonna get?
Mike asked as we walked into the store.
I think Destructo III,
I said. I heard it has twice as much blood splatter as Destructo II.
Cool.
And that's what I picked from the shelves when we got to the store. It looked fabulous.
