Well, I like non sequiturs as much as the next guy, but I'm having a hard time wrapping my noodle around "Stonewashed Chicken Donut."

Maybe I'm the one that had the stroke...

Although there may be many ways to get these beers open, there is only one answer that I will accept.
I remove the bolt from the end of my p-valve and use it to pry the beer bottles open ...

Yes, of course. Everyone knows why those rocks taste funny. I, for one, will never bake another quiche for them. Drugs don't shoot people- people on drugs shoot people to get more drugs. Oldest story in the book.

Josh Smith suffers from a little known affliction called Interettes. As you have noticed, without warning, Josh could type just about anything. It's not really so much of a mental disorder as an inability to control the connections between his mind, and his finger tips. While talking to Josh, you would never recognize his illness......unless he's been drinking......no wait, different illness...... sorry.

Interettes, there is no cure, the best course of action for problem sufferers is to keep them away from the keyboard, or cut off their fingers.

Internet Tourettes= Inter-ettes.

Everyone knows the first rule in Vegas is "Don't burn the locals." And we had done exactly that. We now found ourselves in a washed-out North Vegas ghetto arguing with a scag baron over the price of a hedgehog. I swear that's the last time I drink Rumpleminze with amyl chasers.

I still think we could have gotten more for that hedgehog. You can't touch one for less than 250 off the strip.

That may be, but I was glad to unload him. Hopefully, he gave Savage Henry as many problems as he gave me. I can't abide troublesome hedgehogs.

I wanted to use the ether on it. But *somebody* decided that trading the rest of the ether to a couple of wasted strippers for half a breakfast burrito and 5 menthol cigarettes was a better idea. I hope it took a LONG time for those scratches to heal.

You didn't fall for the "half breakfast burrito from the stippers" trick, did you? #-o Oh Josh, not again... ](*,)

I had no use for the ether anymore. Besides, the floorboards of the El Dorado were soaked with it. We just had to crank the heat up and breathe the vapors....

I mean, like, yeah. One of my favorite authors, but my material is original, man.

Be brave, Scott- reach down deep into the glass panties of your own justice, and ride the burning pony of your own poetry- just OWN those thoughts, like bloody dragonflies, and fling their lifeless bodies at the keyboard- they will probably hit some of the right keys.

I have to quote others-I've stared into that black abyss enough in my lifetime. I've heard the thousand primal screams of aborted nightmares coming at me from all directions, felt the top of my skull split open as every childhood night terror reached around to strangle me, and felt the twist of every knifepoint in the pit of my stomach. HST is for fun. My deep psyche is not.
