Hey all, I just got another piece published. A rather dark one... phantasmagoric, dark, surreal with a touch or more of the old grunge, grotesque, and gore, "Ascension" graces the pages of HAUNTER magazine. Enjoy:

So the platonic year
Whirls out new right and wrong,
Whirls in the old instead;
All men are dancers and their tread
Goes to the barbarous clangour of a gong.
~ W.B. Yeats: The Tower
Hey all. My latest story "Presto at Close Quarters" went live today on Fiction on the Web. Enjoy:

So, I'm supposed to do the semi-annual changing of the clocks, tomorrow.
Getting an extra hour in 2022 is kinda like getting a bonus track on a Yoko Ono album.
Why dafuq online recipes all have a 3-tome back story?!
My quick pesto recipe? I was born a club-footed anemic Muslim in the Andes, where I ran naked with the antelope & Amish soldiers. We would fashion fish hooks from softballs and lasso Calvinist Zamboni axles from the dunes...
It's a mighty fine morning when you wake to those fine words: "Your piece has been accepted!" Thanks to @FishCharlie , and look for "Presto at Close Quarters" on Fiction on the Web in November.
It just occurred to me that someone should do an AC/DC biopic starring @RealHughJackman as Bon Scott. Whaddya say, Hugh? You down? I'll help write the screenplay.

Astronaut Mark Kelly once smuggled a full gorilla suit aboard the International Space Station. He didn't tell anyone about it. One day, without anyone knowing, he put it on.
Ok, @MardyFish (since you were into, and part of, my big Oliveira prediction), a full week out (so excitement has quelled), I'ma say Alex @mvbill will one day hold and defend the belt.

Chloe was just mumbling her way through "Lady Marmalade."... a song I always thought had imperceptible lyrics. I asked, "Chlo, what do you think the lyrics to that chorus really are?"
She replied, "Chicken sorbet marmalaaaaade."
Damn, she might be right.
I tried a new recipe tonight. Halfway through din, I asked the missus what she thought of it:
"It's fine. I mean, I don't like the flavor, but it's good."
Hah! So, what's winning you over, the texture?
Today is Lou Gehrig day. I can't think about that, much less celebrate it, without thinking about Norm McDonald.
Birthday lunch:
A classic Sazerac
Parmesan-crusted halibut
"Pearl" Sauv blanc
Then, off to the movies.
In my car, in the Whole Foods parking lot, eating sushi with a fork (because they had no chopsticks). A Japanese woman pulled up next to me, looked in, and I straight up just hid my fork in my sleeve.
Hey, did y'all know that Mookie's full name is Markus Lynn Betts?
Dude's mom knew THAT early to name him MLB. Far too fitting.
