When I was 11 or 12, my mom, my brother, and I drove from Virginia to Maine to visit my aunt. Most of those 2 days in the car were spent listening to my brother's new tapes. I had no idea the effect those three cassettes would have on me. 1) George Carlin, "Occupation: Foole": … Continue reading The Car Trip of Destiny

My Boba Fett Movie Pitch
Straight-laced architect Boba Fett has a stable, if dull, life. Then one day he bumps into free spirit Gina at the grocery store. Literally! He apologizes for crashing his cart into hers and then - strangely for such a nervous spazz - asks her out on a date! Gina opens Boba Fett's eyes to the … Continue reading My Boba Fett Movie Pitch
John K. and Trump
No jokes in this one, just some troubling insight I had this morning. I'm a huge fan of weird, funny stuff. Besides the classic weird comedies like The Goon Show, Monty Python, Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, SCTV, The Kids in the Hall, and Mr. Show, I also love love LOVE cartoons that make the … Continue reading John K. and Trump

Bunkum 53!
The new episode of Bunkum is up! The first "arc", let's call it, of Bunkum was episodes 1-50 and was inspired by old-timey radio and was mostly me playing a bunch of crazy idiots fighting with each other. Very "Goon Show". In episode 50, I went back in time and prevented the whole podcast from … Continue reading Bunkum 53!

Gorilla
You ever notice how people only see what they wanna see? And you can be jumpin' up and down and yelling the truth right in people's face, but they just see what they wanna see, you know? I was saying this to Mickey in HR the other day, trying to ease into it gradual-like, but … Continue reading Gorilla
What Is Tungsten?
A gummy snack? A cartoon ghost? A famous historical scientist? A muscle in your mouth? A famously poor-selling car model? Nobody knows. It’s on the periodic table under Transition Mysteries.
Hard-Boiled
I was polishing off my thirty-sixth bottle of Old Bastard whiskey when she knocked through the door. With it getting shot out twice a week, I'd started replacing the door's glass with that cheap sugar glass they use in movies. I oughta put up a sign, I guess. I must have been thinking about the … Continue reading Hard-Boiled
The Bull
I got a bull recently. This is not a metaphor. He hangs out around the house, eating grass and glowering at the neighbor kids who try to pet him. But mostly his job is to gore me to death. Sometimes it's because of my lazy parenting. Other times it's because I got into an internet … Continue reading The Bull
