To whom it may concern.
I am writing to inform you of the events of the evening November 29, 2007. Mia’s Lounge is lame. I am a long time Shindaggers fan and part-time merch peddler (the Shindaggers have many wonderful t-shirt choices), and I am calling for the community boycott of this new bar. [...]

It swills coolant
And then, feverishly,
pukes it back up.
The ’83 Toyota pickup
shakes its greasy cylinder head
in disgust
at this stationary wagon
with its heated seats and power everything
and like Old Man River
just keeps rolling along.

Two in from Mr. Bussman this week, a haiku and a poem.

I can’t wait to see Bike Snob NYC tackle this one — a crew of teens in Queens riding two-wheeled sound systems.
Nick Ragbir’s DJ booth-slash-bicycle includes an amplifier, two 15-inch bass woofers and four midrange speakers; it plays music from his iPod and is powered by car batteries.
“It’s really big where I come from in [...]

Remember the Birthday Challenge?
Oh, I do. Shit is off the hook. In fact, I’ve been knocking around the idea of doing something really stupid to myself this coming April. Last April was a bit of a bust as I wasn’t that far away from injury. Anything involving a [...]

A young man named John received a parrot as a gift.
The parrot really had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary.
Every word out of the bird’s mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity. John tried and tried to change the bird’s attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft [...]
