Laughter is the best medicine
Laughter is a core value at Streetplay. While a lot of our content is
pedagogic, nostalgic, or journalistic, we know that when $5 words like that
start flying, it's time for a good chuckle, even if it's at our own expense.
We hope this stuff puts a smile on your face!

Roger Ebert calls the Streetplay-exclusive comic strip The
Koncrete Kids, "a riveting depiction of the real-life drama of kids on
the edge, and the salvific quality of urban games in their life." Actually, we
have no clue if Roger has ever done anything but eat a lot of popcorn and Milk
Duds, but we're sure you'll give the Kids your personal thumbs-up.
Be sure to fly on over to the latest
installment; the kids have entered a kite-flying contest and have a
sure-fire way to win (and, on a related note, don't miss our
kite section).

Do we obsess over money? Maybe... but only because we're so comically bad
when it comes to finances. You can tell just by reading our most recent
financial statement,
our business plan, and
our ultimate apologia, the Top 10
reasons Streetplay didn't lose millions 1999.

Ever hitch a ride on the bus by hanging onto the back of it? Of course you
didn't, but you saw kids who did. This exhibit in the Streetplay Gallery,
Extreme Streetplay, depicts in
cartoon detail just what you don't want your own kids to do.

Did you know that the 2000 presidential primaries were decided not by debates
and issues, but by a sporting event sponsored by Streetplay? Well... maybe in
our dreams, but we still wrote about in in the
Streetplay Presidential Pentathlon 2000. As
Mr. Bush himself might say, "Nothing subliminable here!"

Extreme Streetplay introduced you to McGrunt, the Streetplay safety dog.
Our Streetplay Money
gallery exhibit exalts him as our founding father. Check out all the
denominations: $7, $23, $52, and $86. The laughs are free as you print as much
as you want and try to pass it off as the real deal.

Streetplay's operating budget is pretty much shot after staffers get paid in
pizza, beer, and Streetplay money (see above). That makes the prizes in our
Streetplay Contests modest in comparison to the
Publishers Clearing House. But we have something over those guys: our
winners write great stories! Go to our contest home
and read the contest winners' stories. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll want
to enter a contest yourself!
