Go crazy with me
Pretend we’ve just had six beers apiece. Pretend we’re sitting in a bar where you can actually hear me talk and the only one interrupting us is the bartender, and he only wants to...
Wherein I squeal like a pig
Along Highway 76, better known as Longcreek Highway, there sits a bridge that goes nowhere. It’s covered in kudzu and branches out from the main asphalt in such a way that even a first-time...
Tom Green goes home
It was the middle of the morning or middle of the night. Describing the actual time is pointless. It was simply one of those moments in Vegas when the sun isn’t up and people...

5/4 time one more time
Bomp, bomp, bomp…bomp bomp. How many Dead shows have you been to? See them play Buddy Holly’s “Not Fade Away?” Okay, not a Dead Head? Then how many of you saw U2 perform “Desire?”...
Owen Wilson married, and I’m the only pap
This afternoon, my wife and I took the boy on an afternoon drive through the mountains. Along the way, we happened by the place where we got married eight years ago next week. The...
Double Ecco
That’s right ladies and gentlemen. It’s the time of year again. This year, I went with two pair of my favorite shoes. I bought a fresh pair of these, the shoes that have helped...
Comment spammers, Barack Obama, RFK, and Hillary
Blog comment spammers are the equivalent of the guy you catch masturbating in the car next to you at the stop light and honking his car horn. He’s not not going to get anyone’s...
