To tell the truth, when I was younger, I didn’t think much about Mid-Term elections. I figured, “What difference would it…
Today I saw the tiniest little pillbug I ever seen in my life. Then suddenly I got this notion. So I watched. And I seen something move. It was just a tiny little speck. So I kept watching. And I seen it move again. So I looked closer. And sure enough, it was an even…

The glory days, though, were now long gone and the ambassadors and dignitaries never came anymore. The borough, for that’s what it is really classified as,…
Prologue: Billy Billy Johnson was a 14 year-old Caucasian who lived in the quiet, complacent suburb of Middleton, Wisconsin. He was Christian and heterosexual. He wore black Nike sneakers, Gap Jeans, an Abercrombie and Fitch t-shirt, Fruit of the Loom Underpants, and a Mickey Mouse hat. In his right hand he held a plate with…

Jimmy K. heard of the eating establishment known as Tadpoles and decided to give it a try one sultry evening in mid-August.

Yep. I died. On the inside. Not enough, though. I felt more poo wanting to come out, but since I was upside down, it was working it’s way towards my mouth. I screamed. Then I screamed again. I didn’t want my poo in my mouth! “Hey! Anybody there? I need some help! I don’t want…
The HR lady carried me outside and then dumped me on the ground. She took keys from her purse. She jangled them in front of my face. “Gotta go!” she yelled as she continued the key jangling. “But….what about me?” I asked as the tears and snot started forming again. “DON’T CARE!” she yelled as…
