I’m going as the Ghost of Fashion Indescretions Past this coming Halloween. It’s overall going to be pretty easy. I had some embarasing old clothes around from my highschool days of the mid 1990s, I can still see out of my glasses from back then and I have absolutely no sense of shame whatsoever. There’s […]

I think the fashion world is irreparably fucked. Actually, I think it always has been. Sure there have been periods of respite where comfortable, reasonably flattering clothing were in fashion (most of the 1940s & 1960s, in recent history) but those times have been short lived and scattered. There have been more, and more-lengthy eras […]

I was riding from my house to Landahl, I got caught in an uneven seam in the road, and subsequently saw the road coming to meet me very, very quickly. I ended up with a small cut on my forehead that bled with great enthusiasm, and road rash on my left cheek, left shoulder, left […]

And so long as weird hippie girls are allowed to spout crackheaded theories at me in health food stores, I am allowed to make fun of them on the Internet. The scene: Wild Oats Market, 44th & Main, near the display rack of “natural,” “health-enhancing” toothpastes. The cast: Two middle-aged ladies, one weird hippie girl, […]

Let’s just say that bangs + all-one-length hair = REALLY DAMN BAD IDEA, FOR REAL! Basically, I made myself look like a jackass before we went to a nice get-together with our friends. I looked and felt like a dweeb and spent most of the evening trying to brainstorm on how to salvage my hair […]

Has anyone in the history of bottle-rockets ever actually stuck an unlit rocket into a bottle, lit the fuse, and gotten away quickly? ‘Cause I’ve never actually seen them used that way. The lads up and down the street are currently engaged in holding rockets gingerly by the ends of the sticks and aiming them […]

I’m going to reclaim my old Huffy from my parents’ house sometime this summer and turn it into an art-bike. What my idea is, is to strip it down and paint it metallic green. I wanna cover the seat in green faux snakeskin, and put eyes (possibly clear blinky lights with “googly eyes” glued in […]

An enormous blue basset hound about the size of a 1974 Oldsmobile Regency 88 soared high above the flooded landscape using the motion of his vast, floppy ears to bank and steer his lazy glide. He let out a gurgling bay which I’d come to recognize meant that he was about to spiral downward toward […]

So, I suddenly came down with a cold. Basically, Monday afternoon, around 3:00, I started feeling kinda raggedy. Stayed home sick today (Tuesday) and all indications are that I’ll be home sick tomorrow, considering that I can’t sleep and have been coughing so hard I almost puked. Anyway, on to brighter things. Thanks to the […]

Let’s talk weird a moment. Suppose you work a quiet, busy, somewhat dull job in a file room somewhere. Suppose there is a large, fluffy, microfiber featherduster hanging on a corkboard in your office for no good reason. Suppose one of your co-workers brings in a child’s toy plastic sword that she might use with […]
