Some vehicles were built for beauty: the Jade Idol, for example. Others were built for speed. The legendary and record-setting Bluebird was a byword for speed. Yet others, like the Pierson Brothers’ iconic ’34 Ford dry-lakes racer, managed to marry both beauty and speed. Then again, there are some that manage to bring you neither: […]

Saturday, July 14, 2012, I was up and at ’em at the crack of 7:00 a.m. By golly, I had shit to do, and a finite amount of time in which to do it. I had provisions to lay in, prizes to prepare, and most importantly, I needed to go scavenge up a few more […]

On my way to work this morning, I saw a dog who reminded me of Billy Connolly’s “wee brown dog.†It wasn’t wee, as such, mind you. He was upper-mid-sized, probably around 60lb, lanky and leggy, probably a pit-bull and labrador mix. He was a tawny buff color, with a white chest, white feet, and […]

I dreamed I helped put together a robot for picking up trash (like WallE kind of), but basically it mostly just masturbated a lot. When it climaxed, it shot springs out. Make of that what you will.

I apparently also have a shitty-pop-cultural situation, because I don’t watch the Jersey shore, except for the clips that find their way on to Beavis & Butthead (which, by the way, the new Beavis & Butthead rules, it rules!!) But anyway, I thought the boy whose hair sticks all up was The Situation, but a […]

I guess this is what you’d call a wardrobe malfunction. I finished stitching down the facings on this bolero and went to go model it for Joel. This is what happened: Sadly, this is not the first time I’ve pulled a stunt like this. Unfortunately, it is the furthest I’ve gotten in the completion of […]

Oh man, I have brainmeats problems. A month or so ago I read an article online where this guy decided to try recipes or foodstuffs mentioned in The Simpsons. I laughed myself silly, as you do. Especially over the notion of Corn Nog, which sounds really fucking disgusting. I mean! Almost as bad as fuzzy […]

Just got back from taking Joel out for his birthday dinner, and I’m going to go and enjoy the rest of our evening together. I heard this monologue on Slacker radio today (I was listening to a medley of comics while doing some mind-numbing Adobe crap at work) and I completely thought of Joel and […]

Man, yesterday was a study in contrasts. At one point in the day, two friends and I were splitting a cookie we’d found in a trash can (it was wrapped, and on top of everthing – absolutely no garbage juice was involved) then later that evening, I was listening to these guys in the new […]

So, my dumb ass has decided to participate in NoBloPoMo, or whatever the hell they call it. Because I am crazy. Also because I feel like I could use a swift blogging kick in the pants and that may be the boot to administer it. Or something like that. And because it is late and […]
