So Bob has brought out the whip again and threatened to give me 39 lashes if I didn’t go through the dozen or so bags of fan mail that have been piling up and pick out some letters to write another Ask The Spamrider column. I asked him why he wouldn’t just give me 40…
By Bob SenitramNo bacon, just bringing home the nonsense… Well, I’ve been watching all them talking heads on TV and now I guess I got a little somethin’ to say about those midterm elections. To tell the truth, when I was younger, I didn’t think much about Mid-Term elections. I figured, “What difference would it…
“Hey there, you alright sir?” “He may not respond.” “Why’s ‘at?” “He appears to be dead.” “Check ‘is pulse?” “Yep.” “Well ‘en, let’s get ‘im in the back.” “Right.” Rick put his hat back on and the two flung the corpse into the back of the ambulance, “Good night, eh?” “Well, if its all the…
By Kevin Easter There are parts of yourself that you hold back. You have to keep that part inviolate, hidden. It doesn’t matter how much you’re “in love” or how much you “trust” your therapist.

Some people say that the Human Beings have their own even tinier vermin with whom they, like us with them, are at war. And other people say that to some even larger and more complex…
I watched John Carpenter’s The Thing tonight. I’ve seen it before, or at least I think I have. Great movie by the way. But that’s not why I watched it.

S.U.N.—Something Unto Nothing MoTW—Brave I don’t consider myself a cheap kinda guy, but when it comes to sneakers it’s a different story. I’m happy spending $25-$30 on sneakers.
