  • Smoking with The Devil

    “I must inhale some nicotine into my lungs right now or I’ll turn into a homicidal maniac,” I apologized to Mrs. Goldman, the hostess.

I almost went over to check before realizing that the undies were more important than the breeze. There’s an old saying, “The undies are always more important than the breeze.” I brought my attention…

  • Dostoevsky Hangover

    Kareena Katroveena scrubbed the floor with all her life-force, the boar bristle brush making swooshing sounds against the wooden boards of the floor, but for the life of her, she couldn’t get rid of the blood stains. It was just one major blood stain really, in the shape of the map of Mother Russia, with…
