AFTERNOON TEA I was going to put a kettle of water on to boil to make myself a cup of tea, but I became distracted by the shrinking ice caps and how the polar bears would soon have no place to live. I grabbed a bottle of whiskey instead and wandered out to the garden. [...]

BIGFOOT LOVES TO DRIVE IN L.A. REDUX I would like to thank someone for adding concrete poetry to my drive home. And no, ineffable does not refer to the pope. Sorry, but I can’t tell you what it does means — it’s just too sacred. THE NEXT BIG THING REDUX – TJ BEITELMAN I missed [...]
