Happy Monday

Got in what really might have been my second mountain bike ride of 2008 with my boy McClane yesterday. Fucking kid is crazy. Him and his little under-roo running around in girl pants.
Two hours of prime time Sedona single track and sunshine was all right with me. In fact, I [...]

Prison Planet

No, Im not referring to the website or the song by Clutch. I am referring to a study that says 1 in every 100 Americans is in prison.
The report’s methodology differed from that used by the Justice Department, which calculates the incarceration rate by using the total population rather than the adult population as the [...]

Frostbündt 2008

From: Hurl
Subject: Rad.
actual footage from Frostbündt, QBP’s annual winter bike orgy, 16-February-2008. The rumored Texas Twins Race never materialized, but the combination of not one, but two, steering wheel-equipped rides provides hours of derby enjoyment for the awestruck bystanders. This is rock-n-roll bicycle action when adults on bicycles can revel in the combination [...]

If You Thought They Looked Great in the Yard….

The vast faction of North American kitsch lovers have adored its image for decades. As a young buck, I remember my folks’ nauseated reaction to the sighting of one during many a subdevelopment egress. The image of which i speak is none other than the North American Yard Flamingo. Long associated with [...]

When keeping it real goes wrong

For shizzle.
These images are from the security camera in a small bank in Arizona. The Arizona Buckeye Police identified the Marzocchi logo and got in touch with the company in California. Marzocchi’s purchasing boss had to go through all the invoices for 3 different zip codes just to try and get a lead on [...]

Hump Day

K-BILLY’s Super Sounds Of The Seventies Weekend just keeps on coming with this little ditty…
President Bush continues to dispute all the predictions that his presidency will go down in history as a miserable failure.
Or, as he put it in an interview with Chris Wallace of Fox News over the weekend: “It’s very hard to write [...]

Sly ain’t so Sly etc..

What did I do today?

I made a hat.

Them 10-year old Swobo shorts you have lying in a crate somewhere? The ones that you could wear to the burlesque show and they’d ask you to ‘Cover your Shame’ ? Yeah. Those. Turn those into a nice head-warming beanie with a pair of scissors, a sewing machine and 5 minutes of [...]

Let’s get all wound up for the weekend.

When you’re out drinking and carrying-on this weekend, here are a few things to get into a thick discussion (or heavy fight; your choice…) over a beer or thirteen.
Nader.

Nuff said.
Then there is perennial D.C. favorite shitbag Ann Coulter.
Boggles. The. Mind. I mean, really. Either she realizes that Bush was the worst president we have [...]

(not really) a poem for thursday.

Glorious Days Abound.
Getting the potato cannon out was a really good idea. We had been drinking for a couple of hours and had like 15 extra potatoes, and besides it was still too early to go to the bar. The first few hit the fence with a huge bang, frankly I’m surprised [...]

66.6 degrees

The other day I had a small travel thermometer with me.
And the temperature at my desk was 66.6 degrees.
I was strangely comfortable.

Dateline: Cougar, USA

I don’t know what to call this other than annoying and dishonest. I read Maureen Dowd’s latest piece in the NYTimes two days ago, thought it was good, thought she was working the New Hampshire beat. Spefically the small hamlet of Derry.
No. Turns out a couple of her little under-roos worked the [...]
