A moment of brief panic set in yesterday in Bangalore when staff writers of this blog ran out of genre-upending jokes and could not think of anything to write about. Writers Harish Kumar and Arjun Sharma yesterday brainstormed for several hours before coming up with just one tepid joke about an “LK Advani against PM”campaign which, astute reader and archaeologist Priya then pointed out, had already been done. Shocked at repeating their own lame joke, the two are now reportedly absconding and trying to think of jokes other than ones in which they take a pop-culture element and change one aspect of it and write lengthy posts about it.
Last-known picture of Mindry.in's staff writers. Curiously, both writers made a hole of the exact same dimensions in the wall through which they fled.
“This is sad,” remarked regular reader and figment of imagination J Varadachari. “They were quite prolific with these types of jokes. For instance, there was that whole ‘India May Decide’ series during the elections. Notice how subtly they used the word ‘May’ to indicate the month of the elections and the indecisiveness of the Indian voter. I will miss such puns.” He then proceeded to observe a minute’s silence for no reason at all.
“Fuck this shit!!” acerbically remarked rival blogger Jayanth “The Bhoop” Bhoopalam. “I’m tired of these assholes and their lame jokes. I hope they get piles.” Advised by Capt. Gopinath to tone down his criticism, he then wished just fistula upon Mindry.in’s writers.

At press time, one of the missing writers had reportedly had an inkling of an idea about a “Curd Rice Hut” (along the lines of Pizza Hut) joke where curd rice is delivered to your house within 39 minutes (or it’s free!!). Aghast, humour-watchers are hoping against hope that this is not true.
