I'm bored so I started looking over my news feeds, and grabbed a bunch of stories I found interesting, and decided to do a little story thread for reading things I found online. Of course, feel free to post comments on stories, and discuss them, as this is the first ever "Bastard Monthly". From the BOFH of AO.

For now, that is it. I guess I'm not bored anymore, and I have a bunch of stories to read, so I'll check back after some of you have had time to read this stuff.

LOL, if I do get bored like this, maybe I'll do another one of these, maybe. Not sure how well this will go yet, so give feed back. I don't want to seem like some glorified news caster, I'm not. I'm just a bored bastard Operator From Hell.
