i drink so i can talk to assholes…

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

some drink and get sad. some drink and cry. some drink and get angry. some drink and say gay people take it up the ass. some drink and call police officers ’sugar tits’. some drink and assert the jews are responsible for all the wars in the world. some drink and beat their girlfriends because [...]

whatever happened to baby jane?

finally it has been said aloud was has been apparent for years by an authority of the body no less, one of chicago’s finest, roger ebert:
” i am happy to say it brings back an element sadly missing in recent movies, gratuitous nudity. sexy women would ‘happen’ to be topless in the 1970s movies for [...]

“people, i just want to say, you know, can we all get along?“
unequivically the answer is “no” if a fraternal bond is shared between your guitarist and vocalist while happening to be a black crowe, oasis or kink. again there be a “nay” if your brothers bee gibb whereas the deleos and maddens carry on [...]

isn’t it odd that a boy can be turned into this? how is it that franklin’s journey to tinseltown returns him as this? when is a king not fit for a queen but rather just bad company? sometimes family is not a fit substitute, but all of this probably makes sense when it is realized [...]

she’s got electric boots, a mohair suit…

barren from any serialized parchment and ink publications are ‘it’ and ‘you’ while ‘i’ and ‘us’ fruitfully multiple unchecked in the daily, weekly and monthly warrens. quaint in its naiveté, objectivity was at least a clever game of cat and mouse between columnist and audience in which purported empiricism purred forth waiting to catch unsuspecting [...]

be for real…

Wednesday, August 9th, 2006

can there be an any more amusing pop culture precept today than the idea of “keeping it real”? how is it “keeping it real” means being able to hold to two mutually exclusive lifestyles, such as street thug and bonvivant of expensive sparkling wines or celebuskank and undefiled? keeping it real amongst breast augmentation, elective [...]
