Cows! Cows! Cows!

Vince Neil looks really sexy in overalls — I saw a milk cow in a g-string yesterday. I almost ran off the road pondering how much fabric is enough before it is no longer skimpy. The billboard had begged my attention. It said — Jerry’s Strip Club — Hwy 40 Ext 320 — Come to the ‘Back-strip,’ stay…

Existential Angst of the Middle-Aged Middle-American

We are all stinking piles of trash — One thing that pisses me off most in the world is how special we think we are as humans. It would be easy to bring up Karens and be done with it, but I really think this sense of entitlement is ingrained in all Americans. …

Never Listen to Nick Nolte on How to Act While Wearing a Chicken Suit

The deer uprising has begun — Standing in the lobby in my chicken costume reading Chik-Fil-A’s recipes and other pro-carnivore diatribes in sing-songy bible verse tones, simultaneously handing out pamphlets for my uncle Parker’s timeshare in the Ozarks. He’s not looking to get rid of it, he’s just a recluse — and a dick. …

Well, Stuff Me and Call Me Jason Mimosa

I swear — I love my wife — My wife threatened to drop me off at the mega-hardware store. I knew it to not be an idle threat. I had just said Jason ‘Mimosa’ — her pronunciation, not mine — sucked as Aquaman. I told her that was fine because I ironically fit in at hardware stores. My…

I Was A Damn Good Taco Slut

Misadventures in taco filching — I worked at a fast food place renowned for its consumables that inspire rapid-fire gastrointestinal expulsion. Their obvious corner of the butthole cleansing market is what has kept them the Big Dick Corporation they are today. I had no experience in the world of fast food so, among other responsibilities…

Gassy Teslas and Tweaker Entrepreneurs

And one about a bear — Allegations that a number of Teslas caused accidents while insentient are nothing new. While fielding questions at the What Else Can I Stick My Nose Into — Seriously, Dude conference, Musk said “What you should be worried about is when they go into Karen mode.” As if he could now…

Is it drafty in here? — are my pants down again?

Write — right? — Ideas Am I right? My drafts folder is where my brain takes a dump. I have too many drafts in my drafts folder. Organizationally, it’s a fucking nightmare. I have a document I have in my Drive of ideas. …

Screw Viagra: Here’s How Bobcat Goldthwait Will Increase Your Sex Drive

— and kill your love for baseball — Back when I was able to have friends, my wife and our friends were seated at one of the front tables of the Funny Bone in Des Moines, Iowa. Bobcat was commenting on how he gets during sex, namely when he’s on top. I laughed longer and louder than everyone…

I Don’t Know How the Murder Rate in Iowa Is Not Higher

I smile at people so I don’t have to talk to them — Why do people think others give a shit about their opinion? I had just sat down across from my wife in Panera. A table of ten was in the process of leaving and some diverted their path. I notice an older gentleman standing amongst them. He made a few steps…

Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Hacks — Soulless Searching Is it wrong that I derive comfort from people screaming? I watch Texas Chainsaw Massacre just to have it for background for when I write. The instrumental music I listen to is hard and grinding. Screaming, indiscriminate and painful. I’m not exactly worried, I just acknowledge that I have anger…
