The Covid Covid Cabana show drew like a weekday 1PM baseball game in the Northeast in April. Neat. The GOP has two things left, the only two things it’s had to run on since the 90s. Racism &a...
You’ll drive down from the San Fernando Valley, from the strivers and the strife, the immigrant markets with names you can’t pronounce and the white kids from the East Coast going broke for their...

Another good name for the Tulsa Hate Rally is, of course, “Covidpalooza”. Pizzadu. Stately home of Charles Entertainment Cheese. There is only one remaining mystery to the mogul’s death, his ...

Two weeks or so from now, a new Tulsa massacre, rednecks dying in respirators instead of burning down Black Wall Street. It will be poetic, of course, but I’d rather no one died, myself, not ev...

When young, all you want to do is see the world burn for all its cruelty. When old, you see how righteous rage like that is where all the cruelty comes from and want to save the good remaining ...

There are worse things to name your car than “Liam Nissan”. You know what’d be a really niche parody? Metallica’s “Harvester of Sorrow” about the manager at a Sbarro’s. When you first hear ...

I like to think that in the aftermath of that “Do You Love Me Now I Can Dance” song, it turns out that she loves him even LESS now that he can dance because he’s such a damned show off about it...

I despise guns but grew up in gun culture & pay attention: look at gun ads in magazines 30 years ago, they’re all some guy bringing in a duck, holding up the antlers of a buck. Now they all...

Breyers Ice Cream and Lindt Chocolates should get together and do a flavour called “Breyers Lindt”. Your indie rock band will be called “The Abandoned Breadmakers”. Think about it. Every Amer...

Casinos have no clocks upon their walls, casinos have no windows at all, ugly carpets forever force us to look up at pretty blinking lights demanding we press our luck. It isn’t accidental, libra...

Why didn’t P. Diddy ever sell “Puff pastries”? An even more jank Long John Silvers, like a K-Mart Long John Silvers, an even worse pirate themed fish chain called Yaaaaaaarbys. A terrible n...

Seeing Adam Sandler’s career devolve into terrible direct-to-video releases to give his old buddies jobs, maybe the Emperor should’a told him how his faith in his friends was his weakness not, ...
phantom limb in poetry
there are imaginary places in my dreams I have seen so very many times they eventually feel more real than places I’ve actually been confected places conflated places amalgamations of...

The huge M.C. Escher hit “Can’t Navigate This”. A movie about how NASCAR drivers use adult diapers so they can keep turning left called PEED RACER. A cartoon about Goofy as a composer calle...

Even now with three legs, Felix still puts in the work to try and show the world his butthole all the time for no good reason so, like, I guess that’s the sign of a healing cat. The irony of ...

My student loans are 19 years old now, almost four times longer than the “Confederacy” lasted. That’s how short your “history not hate” that you defend so vehemently lasted yet I see no statues...

When Tarantino says “TGIF!” it’s not that he’s looking forward to the weekend. He’s saying “Toes Go In First”. Run like hell. In founding Swordlandia, he didn’t have to renounce his identity ...

When I was a young boy, the only thing I found interesting about my hometown was that we had an affiliated minor-league baseball team, the smallest city to have one. The lowest affiliate of the N...

A film about Sherlock while Watson is on vacation called HOLMES ALONE. Zeus throws Greeced lightning. Ned Flanders goes to Australia and plays the diddlydo. Dimension X did Krang the brai...

If you think you’re being catfished but it turns out they’re actually the outlandish thing they said they were, I hope it’s called “dogfished”. It’d also be a great title for a story about a me...

A grasshopper with absinthe swapped in called a Creme Demented. If Lady and the Tramp had a date at a sub shop instead, we could’ve totally made a joke about them being so in love that they f...

Religion has all the good questions but nothing to back the answers up. Science has all the good answers but has a hell of a time applying them to the world in a way that’s humane. There is onl...

For a while before the COVID times, I worked in the one fancy-style coffeehouse within a wide radius, in a small farm-town along the Mohawk. I wasn’t great at the beautiful latte art part of it b...
