Audienceless Lines
I’m the kind of guy who will tell a joke knowing that nobody will ever ‘get’ it. I will stand in front of friends and complete strangers alike and say things that I find amusing, but that no one else…

Open letter to the Las Cruces Shooter

Have I ever said ’nuff said? No? ‘Nuff said.
Setting priorities straight
Family (urgent) Friends (urgent) Work (urgent) Self (urgent) Friends (normal) Work (normal) Friends (leisure) Family (normal) Family (leisure) Self (normal) Self (leisure) There’s something wrong with this list. As far as I’ve thought about it (four minutes now), it’s accurate,…
Diez y seis de septiembre
My town is under siege. More later as the story develops, but first I must find a mortuary or graveyard or funeral home or cemetery to shoot in. p.s. I’m back. How is everybody?
Xicotencatl, el soldado valiente

Cyanide & Happiness

Auf wiedensehen Small Talk
Here’s another game to go along with this post and fit in this post: This game is part of my ever-long quest to destroy small talk as we know it. For those of you who remember, my last journey along…
Pandora, Internet radio
I usually don’t promote things here, but this is utterly awesome If they ever make a radio station (satellite or whatever) out of this, I will invest all I have in it. It is genius in every way possible. Oh,…
Psst! You, in the blue!
