Dragon Fly Agony Awareness Day


(To be spoken aloud,
sternly)

Dragon Fly alert:
Dragonflies warn fish
of approaching fisher-
men.

"They're coming,"
the message goes.

In return, the dace
(meaning carp)
don't eat glittering
darters (meaning
dragonflies) during
courtship.

It's an unspoken agreement as old as
the fish are.

Big Greg


If you were to approach any middle-aged female and ask her about legendary post presence "Big" Greg Ostertag, they might tell you a few things. And those things would probably be insightful and perhaps perverse, but what they would fail to mention are Big Greg's humble beginnings. Let us flash back to March 6, 1973, the day that Big Greg was transported into this world via vaginal technology.

After Big Greg clawed his way out of that damp womb, his mother could tell he would always be husky young gent. From a very young age he actively peddled cereal variety packs, Ring Pops and cock rings. His bartering skills showed promise and he certainly had an affinity for the Super Mario Bros. animated series on PBS.

It wasn't long before Big Greg, shunned by the kids at school for his flat-top and horrendously long sperm stick, found refuge at the local arcade: Aladdin's Castle.

Day upon day upon night Big Greg could be found battling with various miscreants and scat freaks for tickets. "I want to buy the big Dumbo!" he would shriek, his voice exuding 60% agony and 40% excitement. The goth kids and grunge stoners would stare at this monster, now standing at 6'10" at the age of 15, wondering how they could "go all Gulliver's Travels on him and shit." Green Jelly and Jesus Jones poured out of their headphones like invisible rays of rancid milk before they all finally agreed to take dumps on Big Greg's Minnesota Northstars Starter jacket as it laid unsuspecting in the corner by the Skee-Ball machine.

And that was when Big Greg's life changed forever. As he stood outside Aladdin's Castle on that fateful day, feces smeared on the "N" on his jacket in such a manner that an average bystander might confuse his allegiance with that of the expansion Minnesota Backslashes, a man walked up to him.

"Do you party?" the middle-aged man asked Big Greg, wearing a tan Carhartt jacket with tiny flecks of what appeared to be semen.

Big Greg sniffled before replying, "Fuck yeah, pimp."

An instant friendship was born. Before long, Big Greg and Cum Jacket were spending all day playing the basketball shooting game at Aladdin's Castle. Big Greg became so skilled at the game that Cum Jacket hooked him up with a scholarship to play at Texas A&M, especially since Big Greg was also really into agriculture and mechanics. That plan was spoiled, however, when Big Greg and Cum Jacket committed several fairly serious acts of felony battery on the shit culprits on their last day at Aladdin's.

The two fled to the state of Kansas, where Big Greg quickly became a Jayhawk. He played and stuff and was eventually selected 28th overall in 1995 by the Utah Jazz. Finally Big Greg was rich. He proceeded to buy a brand new Dallas Stars Starter jacket (they moved) and began to dabble in homosexual affairs. After 11 unremarkable years in the NBA during which Big Greg averaged 4.6 points and 5.5 rebounds per game, he retired to a quiet life in Dubuque, Iowa, where he currently munches on mad bean pies and tugs his gonzo dick with reckless abandon.

Tribulation, especially

Everybody misses somebody.
Everyone leaves
somethings like velvet dresses
and other things valuable
we covet like unthinking eyes
forgetting sorrow, dancing
in the mind's eye even
dreaming of the days
which will soon become themselves
--they have to--they say: oh, what
a tribulation!

Tails

Where do they
leave

or do they rather live
like prehensile tails
acting human-like.

Yes, I have observed
trumpets of varied origin;
I have rumbled through
many-vined valleys
shaking them likewise
to their very fiber.

<>
Fibrous roots make elemental
kits; every flower is favorable.
<>

Mentally, and, “by chance,” are
the same thing.

Silly boys
slain pulling weeds

of dusty toil hey!
Finger blood dark red
inside my healthy finger.
Stay that way. Be safe. Finer.

What kind of food have you grabbed?

What kind of fruits have you snagged
from the fruit vagabond? Yessir.

Got those thorny kind from down
by the well. The eaves displayed for
us, dispelling thus / our doubt evident

fearsome people are people still
people still moving like decibels
through different apartment's bevels.

Yes, I excell. At Quiddich over the
naked wrangling well (where the
under-thumped are indifferent,
finally, Estonia, quelled) and

find frompy friends at the frat
house. Sometimes I slept at the
library. Sometimes I slept at the
countertop. Some nights I hooved
it to the country shop. Nice shows
there. Nice shovels; they dug well.

He whom is Doug has dug smells,
like electricians light up the night:
when I see big cities I think about

advances in construction technology
and electrical engineering. These
things become very extraordinary.

Goblin Eggs / Maple Syrup



Two New Hampshire youth--Helen Smith, 14, and brother Mason, 11--look upon the Granite State's first pair of goblin eggs. The sprightly vermin would hatch later that day and eat the entire Smith family.

Seven Muddy Children & Dad

I always boasted--
"I have a great picture of
Seven Muddy Children And A Dad.
And they all laughed at me! Oh!
Oh, How they laughed!!! But now
I'll show them who's
boss, and make their
premature laughter echo into
blinding light, good morning:

Nightslug Deputy

Snail's Deputy Reports

November (Snail Month) Report 1

Dear Snail,
I am a nightslug who unloads chimneys
into the gray, pottywatered Pollywhattamee,
hence it's naming.

Sprees are common here; Winners and
losers alike tamper together in the street
of their night's meaning, like
whimpering lovers... and perpetuated
appetites linger.

This is the land of plenty &
live-longer dads, vitamins,
babies. Wives and (optional
) fjords abound.

Pollywhattamee ain't perfect,
but it's home!
...to us nightlugs, anyway.

Amigos Forever

We're Americans, goddam it!
We should never be without marijuana.
Celery city and dice bikes
of brains made velvet by said
plantations. Amigos.

Celebrity Blog Diet: CELERY

Nancy eats a single carrot and one stick of celery
per day. Isn't she a beauty? 100 pounds, scant
lack of perfection, nice buttocks. I could see biting
into the thigh of that.



Hi kids,
This is Nancy. Nancy likes brooms.
Nancy likes to fuck. Nancy likes to fuck brooms.
I'm sorry, I know it sounds rude. There is just no
other way to put it. Simply no other way.
