donkey basketball.

Do they have donkey basketball here? It seems like such common High School thing to me, but so confusing to everyone else. I'm always like "What? Your school didn't let you out of class once a year to watch your teachers play basketball while riding donkeys that are slipping around in their own piss and shit!? You mean to say that's only a West Virginia thing? Humph."

Donkey basketball was a yearly thing back home. Every church group and school had some sort of event to raise money, where you could pay to watch a "celebrity" riders like Reverend Al Johnson or local weatherman Johnny Tucker play basketball on a donkey. On the surface, pretty boring, except for all the floppin' around in donkey turds that is! Basically, you're paying to watch people waller around for an hour in donkey mess!

...and I did pay money to watch, every year.

Imagine - You're a High School boy watching the fat mean English teacher that's been abusive to you all year try to get on a donkey. She's having trouble because the court (yes this took place on our school basketball court, not outside) is all slopped up with donkey piss. When she finely mounts the poor donkey he has a 'oh my god this lady's fat' look on his face and then unloads everywhere!



Oh god, I'm so sorry donkeys.

Mmmmmm.

I want to eat this.

Bone queen.

Today my friend Pam and I were discussing this picture I took of these Russian prison tattoos in Brooke's law offices when I went to Alaska. I like how they're about such inconsequential stuff but are very specific. I'm Russian, I'm in prison, and I hate my mother-in-law,I wonder if there's a tattoo that appeals to me? Why yes sir, there is!

Here are some favorites:

Am I out of line here?

On Friday I saw this “interview” on the Seattlest. When I searched for the band or the lead singer on google I couldn't find anything, not one thing, nothing! I wrote something snotty in the comments, then the writer snotted back. His response, was 'sorry you didn't find anything, I guess YOU just don't know where to look' and sent me a few pictures from the fascinating, poor mans Terry Richardson project The Cobra Snake.

It just bothered me because the interview comes across so "dude, let’s do the interview like we’re a real band" with no substance to back it up. It tapped in to a lot of problems I have with Seattle. I'm not being too Joe Rogan about this am I?
