"She was riding my business like superglued cowgirl on a meth-snorting bronco, brother."<br /><br />The unemployed sheet metalworker said that he and Bowersox met at a local pub after her recent return to the Toledo area.<br /><br />"I was just sitting there, minding my own grill, when she came up behind me and reached around for a tug at Mr. Happy," he chuckled. "It's funny how even celebrity chicks forget about their reputations when they get a good look at my junk. Hell, just last week I was out to LA visiting some friends and I banged Jessica Simpson, Cameron Diaz, and Ellen DeGeneres at the same fucking party. Yessir: even the lesbians can't resist the sexual magnetism of Mr. Dwayne T. Baxter."<br /><br />Baxter said that the "most challenging" nature of his relationship with Bowersox is her persistence.<br /><br />"Unfortunately, the Bax-man has to move on after a couple of rounds of the old rodeo, but Crystal just won't take the hint," he said, pausing to scratch his package.

After all, bankers love their blow and auto workers love their weed, and what's good for Citibank and GM is always good for Piper.<br /><br />But let's face facts: banking and autos are just a fraction of the American economy, and America's dopemen are hurting. Big time.<br /><br />That's why I call upon incoming President Barack Obama - no stranger to pharmaceuticals of dubious legality - to extend a helping hand to the nation's one million dope dudes and weed chicks, the hardworking entrepreneurs who will brave a winter's blizzard to get you a half-ounce of Chronic when you are snowed in.<br /><br />You feel me?<br /><br />In my own little empire, sales are down over 30 percent from 2007, and what's worse? Every fucking speed freak and stoner is busting my balls for price breaks. It's "oh I got laid off" and "my old lady took my weed money for diapers" and "brother can you spare a joint" all the damn day long. It's getting so bad that I may have to lay off some of my neighborhood rock and weed kids, who are the bread and butter of any good dope business.<br /><br />Don't laugh - these 13-year-old crack hustlers bring home big money to their parents. When the dope industry suffers, so do thousands of low-income families, people who depend on a steady supply of wadded-up five-dollar bills to keep the lights on and the fridge stocked with 40-ouncers.<br /><br />So, President Obama? Remember the humble dope man when you start your plans to reinvigorate the economy, 'cuz it's weed, smack, and meth that really make this country fly.Subcomandante Bobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15547084802541810008noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14860019.post-30212954778890745492009-01-01T20:59:00.001-05:002009-01-01T20:59:30.737-05:00Kids With Leg Braces Be All Trippin' and Shit<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2J4OICl66H9fQvi8hyphenhyphenPAVd6r12BhYWIUlXfNIOmSxq19a8N_WLd8HoIN1iUTqnAJEg_bU89C-K53yvMkFIPz1rvivfLRYSwFyK9xVzamWUtRXgbcX2zqw8UTN7gVy3uFrbiODeA/s1600-h/braces.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2J4OICl66H9fQvi8hyphenhyphenPAVd6r12BhYWIUlXfNIOmSxq19a8N_WLd8HoIN1iUTqnAJEg_bU89C-K53yvMkFIPz1rvivfLRYSwFyK9xVzamWUtRXgbcX2zqw8UTN7gVy3uFrbiODeA/s320/braces.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5135349499404387938" /></a><font size=1><strong>Guest editorial by Tre Phillips, <br />Toledo area wanksta</strong></font><br /><br />I don't mean to sound all cruel and shit, 'cuz we all got our issues.

Sure, it stings to see our dreams literally go up in smoke, but it’s good to know we can cut our propane use back and fight this foreclosure for a few more months.<br /><br />The Yoder children, taken by the spirit of Christmas giving, have also chosen to sacrifice some of their dreams for the betterment of the family despite the desperate pleas of their parents.<br /><br />“Mom told us not to [throw our dreams on the raging bonfire], but us kids decided we need to do our part too, so we don’t, like, lose our house and die,” explained a somber Haley, president of her fifth grade class. “Michael’s not very coordinated, so he gave up his dream of being a famous baseball player.

To that end, I remind all Catholics that you are expected to vote along the lines of your faith.<br /><br />You see, far too often in life we leave our moral consciences behind after Sunday mass, and we live our lives as though the Gospels were something easily tossed away, like a ten-dollar crack whore or a snot-encrusted Kleenex.<br /><br />So vote for candidates who best represent the moral teachings of the Church. Like that Barack Obama fellow, who is much more pleasing in the eyes of God than his opponent, who I like to call "the Antichrist." Sure, Obama supports abortion, a moral failing if there ever was one, but did you see him driving in the lane in that pick-up basketball game on CNN the other day? Elbows flying, forearms shoving - the dude obviously spent some quality years in CYO leagues.<br /><br />Unlike John McCain, the Antichrist, who probably wouldn't know a fast break from a triangle offense. He probably thinks Hack-a-Shaq is some Sunni militant group in Iraq, and that pick-and-roll refers to boogers.<br /><br />Thus, when you go to the voting booth, remember your glorious CYO years, and know that God always loves a basketball player.Subcomandante Bobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15547084802541810008noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14860019.post-20484458162716066552008-10-17T22:00:00.002-04:002008-12-11T12:46:21.167-05:00Local Man's Johnson is, Like, a Block Long and Shit<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilIkt541REE9mhyphenhyphenjDiGg7vlfwKqml7b7N4ahdvlYjfgBFbloumv6Epji4CZGc-Wq7hRSGGv71Mad1wylEMSafMHWqjkOSLgWv_1sfZ3LILQzom_UWvS8xgusaJ4wU1x8d40GViiw/s1600-h/dwayne.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilIkt541REE9mhyphenhyphenjDiGg7vlfwKqml7b7N4ahdvlYjfgBFbloumv6Epji4CZGc-Wq7hRSGGv71Mad1wylEMSafMHWqjkOSLgWv_1sfZ3LILQzom_UWvS8xgusaJ4wU1x8d40GViiw/s320/dwayne.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5125768560761783874" /></a>(Toledo, OH) Local embellishment specialist Dwayne Baxter told <em>Toledo Tales</em> reporters that he is especially proud of his "extra-freaking-long" penis, and that he's "pretty damned sure" that his member is of world-record length.<br /><br />"Straight up? Chicks sometimes run screaming when they see my package," he noted. "It's like the Japanese running from Godzilla in those monster movies - they are terrified of the size of the beast, but secretly they want to, you know, <em>get up close and touch it</em>."<br /><br />Baxter said that his "python-like trouser snake" has been with him since birth.<br /><br />"I have clear memories of the maternity ward nurses coming in and 'giving Mom a break,' as they called it," he remembered. "Then they'd take me into some broom closet and hop onto my five-day-old cock and hump me like crazed orangutans on Viagra, you dig?"<br /><br />A recent trip to the gas station left Baxter "totally spent and sore."<br /><br />"All I wanted was $20 worth of premium, but as soon as the cashier saw me, she started begging me for some cock," he recalled. "We went into the mop room and got right to business. In one smooth swift motion, she was straddling my cock with her dripping wet pussy. She drove my cock into her dripping hole as far as it could go. Her pussy was so wet as she pumped my cock for all it was worth. Then she reached around and shoved a fucking broom handle up her ass: me in the front, the broom in the back, and a dozen customers pissed because there was nobody to turn on the pumps. Lucky for her I shot my load in like ten minutes, or the whole city would have come to a crashing halt from a lack of gas. This kind of shit happens to me all the time, dude, on account of my 23-inch dick.

There is one class of disabled people I find really, really funny - so fricking hilarious that I sometimes laugh out loud in their faces.<br /><br />I'm talking about retards: those happy-faced, drooling feebs who - if they were any more stupid, they'd have to be watered twice a week.<br /><br />There's even a campaign now to <a href="http://www.r-word.org/">eliminate the R-word</a>, reminding us that we should respect and value people with intellectual disabilities. They even have a pledge you can sign:<blockquote><em>I pledge and support the elimination of the derogatory use of the r-word from everyday speech and promote the acceptance and inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities</em>.</blockquote> But what would life be like if the average schmucks didn't have retards to laugh at? Take me, for example. I dropped out of high school, worked a series of shitty low-wage, dead-end jobs until I finally got hired in a factory that paid more than minimum wage, and then BAM! Plant closes, I'm running out of unemployment eligibility, and our double-wide's about to be foreclosed on.<br /><br />Laughing at the silly antics of retards is about all I have left, folks. If you take that away from me, I'll start looking at how fucked up my life is, and I'll probably end up putting a loaded shotgun in my mouth and splattering a three-dimensional Jackson Pollack fest all over the paneling in my den.<br /><br />And I'm sure the retards would rather me laughing than dead, right? Unless you're saying retards are mean-spirited like that - chuckling at tragedy - in which case I'll laugh at the fuckers even more.Subcomandante Bobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15547084802541810008noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14860019.post-3663453261564389322008-09-12T10:44:00.003-04:002008-09-12T11:02:47.128-04:00Jaywalking: NOT a Victimless Crime<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDVnGUmJBW5x4e4EDagPAStL8T2VoqwyGuo3jakAR2tKe3EcwaBBhf7bW5Id1xWSKc4YZNkkpsbWa9BZW7xtOidkmll4PWlcsHhTXfZhkbyTyJj2epwSG9Dv6-0aW9nuCCMwrkzg/s1600-h/edith.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDVnGUmJBW5x4e4EDagPAStL8T2VoqwyGuo3jakAR2tKe3EcwaBBhf7bW5Id1xWSKc4YZNkkpsbWa9BZW7xtOidkmll4PWlcsHhTXfZhkbyTyJj2epwSG9Dv6-0aW9nuCCMwrkzg/s400/edith.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5245149747440065602" /></a> <font size=1><strong>Guest editorial by Edith Draheim,<br />pedestrian activist</strong></font><br /><br />I see you impatient people crossing the street any which-way, and I am shocked at your selfishness and bad attitude. Crossing walks and pedestrian crossing lights were invented for a reason, folks, and that reason is PUBLIC SAFETY.<br /><br />Whose theory is it that jawalking is a victimless crime? I'll tell you: it’s the reckless pedestrians who race headlong across the street who spew those myths that there is no one hurt in this rampant wave of street crime.<br /><br />And who are the victims, you ask? Let's start with the truly outstanding and industrious pedestrian, who follows all the rules but gets passed up by speed demons in expensive walking shoes. Sidewalks are about fundamental fairness. Not everyone walks exceptionally well, but the sidewalks were designed to level the playing field, so to speak. Jaywalkers reinforce distorted notions of superior mobility, and bring a sense of failure to those whose legs prevent them from dashing through traffic like a meth-crazed gazelle.<br /><br />And what about the children, for gosh sakes? I am reminded that the average starting age for jaywalking is eight. EIGHT YEARS OLD! I think of these impressionable victims of the jaywalkers, the families involved, the prenatally damaged, the abused children of the jaywalkwers, and a society devastated by jaywalking. All of a sudden - those civil infractions seem like a joke.<br /><br />And really: what's the big hurry, Mr. Fancy Pants? Whatever you are running to - or running <em><strong>from </strong></em>- will wait. If it won't it's probably something naughty you shouldn't even be doing, like my neighbor's boy Jimmy, who thinks no one's looking when he plays with his tally-whacker in his bedroom.<br /><br />And you know what? Jimmy's a jaywalker, too. This is what they call one of those gateway behaviors: first jaywalking, then tally-whacking, and the next thing you know Jimmy's murdering little old ladies for their SSI checks.Subcomandante Bobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15547084802541810008noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14860019.post-39677262273966788562008-09-03T15:39:00.001-04:002008-09-03T15:39:40.274-04:00A Note to Readers<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid4KepZL6erV8__BcUPcUNV04n19z2G2JnxpGc8Hp04PqU9MVQtlB-AM5nGVjiY_2JbX6cVPmTTgzYzA0gcmsXusI2ZGL63lKqbNk5uqUzBbh37GE_8u5mlUBfRzAAxzm_Rp2s/s1600-h/bob+7.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid4KepZL6erV8__BcUPcUNV04n19z2G2JnxpGc8Hp04PqU9MVQtlB-AM5nGVjiY_2JbX6cVPmTTgzYzA0gcmsXusI2ZGL63lKqbNk5uqUzBbh37GE_8u5mlUBfRzAAxzm_Rp2s/s320/bob+7.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241880643526946482" /></a> <strong>By Subcomandante Bob</strong><br /><br />Bob has been busy of late, and has not gotten around to answering emails, updating the site, or even caring about much of anything.

Like this dookie-head Kyle Henderson at my school, for one. You can leave every bit of the phthalates or nitroglycerin or botulism toxin in Kyle's toys, and no one would care.<br /><br />Not only is Kyle a total pee-drinker, but even his parents can't stand him. They drop him off at St. Rose at 7:00 am for the Early Bird program, and he's like the last one to get picked up from the after-school program. Sometimes his parents even leave him there until Mrs. Kerstner gets mad and calls them to pick up Kyle in the middle of the night.<br /><br />Sometimes I almost feel sorry for him, except he still watches <em>Veggie Tales</em> and baby stuff like that. I mean, what kind of LOSER still waves and sings with Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber any more? I stopped that like a million-zillion years ago, but Kyle still has a Junior Asparagus lunchbox.<br /><br />D-W-E-E-B. That's how Kyle spells his middle name, and that's why it's OK to let him play with poisoned toys. Otherwise, he's going to go to junior high with that stupid lunchbox, and the big kids will just slaughter him, so this is like helping him out before his life goes completely nutso.Subcomandante Bobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15547084802541810008noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14860019.post-8582382536542919852008-07-22T16:33:00.004-04:002008-07-22T16:52:16.720-04:00Local Dog Says All Your Food is Tainted with Salmonella<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1170/1343/1600/dog.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1170/1343/320/dog.jpg" border="0" alt="Black dog of mixed ancestry" /></a> (Toledo, OH) Hopper, a local canine of uncertain ancestry, told <em>Toledo Tales</em> reporters that the source of a recent outbreak of Salmonella Saintpaul is your refrigerator.<br /><br />"Definitely everything in your fridge is poison, dude," he said from behind a fence at the house next door. "If I were you, I'd dump all the food into that garbage can over there right away. You wouldn't want your children getting sick and dying, would you?"<br /><br />Hopper added that - even though Salmonella bacteria were found at a distribution center in McAllen, Texas, and the distributor has agreed to recall the products - you shouldn't take chances with your family's health.<br /><br />"Straight up, dude? Don't go there," he said, pausing to scratch behind his ear. "The best thing to do is throw out all your food, especially anything from the meat, grain, or dairy families. And if your can gets full, you can just toss that poisoned shit right here in my yard. I'll help you out, brother - I'm man's best friend, remember?"<br /><br />His canine nose, Hopper said, is capable of detecting odors that humans cannot.<br /><br />"And my schnozz is saying one thing right about now: BAD FOOD," he said. "The longer you wait, the more likely you will find yourself cradling the dead, twitching body of your young son Billy, saying to yourself: 'Why, oh WHY did I not listen to Hopper and throw out all that bad food??? Why did I have to make Billy eat that POISON???' I'm just trying to help, that's all.

What is the world coming to when a guy can't visit his infirm, elderly grandmother for a quick fix?

"And the scariest shit? The dead guy's hand gripped mine even tighter for about ten seconds, like it was Walter's way of saying: 'Bro, take care, you hear?' Man, it don't get more fucked-up than that. But these Iraq War vets? A bunch of limp-wristed, skirt-wearing douchebags, if you ask me."<br /><br />Baxter said that claims about posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among Iraq War vets are without merit.<br /><br />"I ain't never seen such a group of pathetic, terrified-mutt ninnies as the PTSD types coming back from Iraq," he said, pausing to puff his Lucky Strike. "Back in 'Nam, it was either shit or get your fucking legs blown off by some bicycle-riding 10-year-old bomb-carrying girl who says: 'Mister, Mister' and then tosses a chunk of smoking C-4 in your face. BAM!!! Straight up: Vietnam was a MAN'S WAR, the kind of shit that separated the men from the diaper-wearing crybaby little bitches, not like this hand-wringing PTSD horseshit."<br /><br />Baxter recalled a particularly gruesome scene from just outside Phnom Penh.<br /><br />"We just finished this top-secret mission to take out some military officers when an artillery shell dropped in on us, taking out six good men from the platoon," he said. "Then this Viet Cong chick comes out of nowhere, grabs me by the crotch, and says: 'You fuck me NOW!' Before I know it, she's chomping on my Johnson like it's a buttered corn cob, and we're going at it like a couple of stray dogs, dig? And just as I am about to shoot my load, this crazy commie tells me to spooge it on her back while she starts humping my dead buddy Raymond's mangled thigh bone, sticking right through his torn pant leg. I says to myself: 'Fuck that!' And I grabbed my M-16 and blew her fucking head off, just as I am blasting off this geyser of man-juice all over my fatigues. Then, for just a second, Raymond's eyes open, and he gives me that little smile, and I knew right then and there I done the right thing with that Vietnamese whore. Now THAT'S some posttraumatic stress, mister."Subcomandante Bobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15547084802541810008noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14860019.post-75532117380849967522008-06-24T16:00:00.004-04:002008-06-24T16:26:25.361-04:00Toledo Anarcho-Feminist Collective Frustrated at Working Class Apathy<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1170/1343/1600/anarcho-feminists.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1170/1343/320/anarcho-feminists.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a> <em>Left: United and committed to change</em><br /><br />(Toledo, OH) The five members of the Toledo-area Workers' Solidarity Collective gathered together Sunday evening to share a cup of fair trade coffee and express their collective frustrations about the state of revolutionary activity in Toledo.<br /><br />"Let's face it - the working class, regardless of its size, has to step up and boldly lead the revolutionary effort," said Mitch Bednarski, a member of the group. "If not, the middle class will just turn to fascism for protection from the worker's movement, kind of like when Sheila's dad totally bogarted us by throwing away those leaflets I copied on his new Laser Jet. Way uncool, I say."<br /><br />Chris Piaget, another group member, added that the Collective should agree to adopt a state-by-state approach.<br /><br />"The semi-autonomous nature of our so-called united states ought to be utilized," he argued, pausing to pick a particle of dirt from his big toe. "A vanguard party must always appear first in a single state in order for a national revolution to even be possible, kind of like how all of us got the munchies for Patrick's spicy Thai tofu stew with okra and lentils the other night. He just opened up that biodegradable container, and BAM! we were all down with the brown. Brown <em>rice</em>, that is, not brown <em>people</em>, although I must say I would have no problem getting it on with that black cashier at the food co-op, provided that she too shares my interests in the environment, social change, and avoiding deodorant."<br /><br />Bednarski, before asking for a vote on whether the meeting should end or be continued until all members had exercised their rights as members to speak, offered his summation of local efforts to organize.<br /><br />"Ultimately, action is critical, and activity always overpowers mass inertia - where power enters as a factor, we have to <em>use</em> and <em>apply</em> it," he noted. " If, nonetheless, we reject out of hand the doctrine of the revolutionary minority, this is just for the reason that it only leads to a mere semblance of power, like when Derek was trying to stifle that wicked red bean fart earlier. OUCH! That shit was <em>stanky</em>, my friend, though I'm not trying to impose my bourgeois values on you or anything. Still, bro, you could have taken that wave of ozone-eating evil outside - that's all I'm saying."Subcomandante Bobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15547084802541810008noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14860019.post-79407763639605686132008-06-17T22:19:00.004-04:002008-12-11T12:46:22.780-05:00Top 10 Ways to Keep the Dude at the Next Urinal from Thinking You're Gay<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUMoa8qbVi8GieK6pKt_JLCwu3znkiq3YfsoEGW0tlkv9ZW5A5qMqxPdonlHBAjr6k3v6iJWX0j-gNoM2m963g0euhOmdCMdTx9C5STKr55Cuj4TAPwwoYFiUpZuptZT3vNosCiQ/s1600-h/muscles+dude.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUMoa8qbVi8GieK6pKt_JLCwu3znkiq3YfsoEGW0tlkv9ZW5A5qMqxPdonlHBAjr6k3v6iJWX0j-gNoM2m963g0euhOmdCMdTx9C5STKr55Cuj4TAPwwoYFiUpZuptZT3vNosCiQ/s320/muscles+dude.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5213042344973119858" /></a> <font size=1><strong>Guest Editorial by Brian Kershaw,<br />Guy Who Is Most Definitely Not Gay</strong></font><br /><br />We've all been there, right? I mean, taking a leak at the urinal when some other dude walks in and sidles up at the next pisser, trying not to make eye contact lest the other dude turns out to be gayer than a locker room full of Clay Aiken fans.<br /><br />So, with the idea of keeping the rump-rangers at bay, I've compiled a handy list of the <strong>Top Ten Ways to Keep the Dude at the Next Urinal from Thinking You're Gay</strong>. You'll thank me later, mister.<br /><br /><strong>10. Mutter a cuss word like "fuck" under your breath. </strong> Nothing says "I'm hetero" like a grunted F-bomb.<br /><br /><strong>9. Hork up a giant phlegm wad and spit it in the urinal.</strong> Not only is this manly as hell, but it will likely make that queer in the next stall puke from being grossed out.<br /><br /><strong>8. Whistle AC/DC's "Highway to Hell."</strong> Ain't no band tougher than those Aussie bad-asses, and Twinkle-Toes will probably run from you, thinking about the time he got his faggoty booty kicked by some dude wearing an AC/DC T-shirt in 8th grade.<br /><br /><strong>7. Say something like: "Did you see that bitch out front with the tight-ass shorts? God, DAMN!" </strong>Mr. Limp Wrist will either have to pretend he's hetero, or he'll have to deny he saw the bitch, which means he's definitely gay, since a straight man's ass-radar is running 24/7.<br /><br /><strong>6. Pick your nose. </strong> Yeah, normally you take a look both ways on account of the fact that you don't want people to think you're gross, but one thing's for sure about the gays: they are a clean people, and as much as they might want to chomp on your corn cob, the fear of snot will keep 'em away, kind of like vampires and garlic.<br /><br /><strong>5. Always, ALWAYS wear your John Deere hat.</strong> No homo in the world's gonna be confused about a John Deere hat, unless you're wearing your John Deere hat while some queer has your dick in his mouth, in which case you are a sorry, sorry excuse for a John Deere owner, mister.<br /><br /><strong>4. Punch the wall.</strong> Them faggery-daggery-doo types will mostly steer clear of a fellow punching a wall, except for the types who actually LIKE getting their ass beat, in which case you might as well help a gay boy out.<br /><br /><strong>3. Holler something like: "FUCK! It ain't supposed to <em>burn </em>when you piss, is it?" </strong>Again, there's nothing that Mr. Butt Pirate would like better than to feel your huge hetero cock up his poop chute, but most gayboy types really don't dig a case of the clap, unless they're drunk as hell, and you're so horny you'll take a blowjob from anything with a warm wet mouth, in which case? Get the fuck away from me!<br /><br /><strong>2. Talk up <em>The Dukes of Hazard</em>. </strong> Especially Daisy Duke, since faggots hate her for being: a) a woman; and b) a sleazy dresser. Ain't never been a queer what's sat through a whole episode of The Dukes of Hazard, and you can take <em>that </em>shit to the bank, Pancho.<br /><br /><strong>1. Yell this: "I DON'T WANT NO HOMOS COMING NEAR ME, Y'HERE?"</strong> This is the best way to go, since anyone who answers is probably a queer, and in need of a shit-kicking. Now, if one of them answers with your dick up his ass, you have a real problem, since you ain't got no business pile-driving an ass that ain't your girlfriend, best friend's sister, or that freaky pimple-faced chick at the bar who fucks anyone, anytime, anyhow. Wipe off that nasty, crusty dick and find yourself a <em>woman</em>, for Chrissakes! Do I have to teach you <em>everything</em>?Subcomandante Bobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15547084802541810008noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14860019.post-8510420654074440142008-06-12T21:32:00.004-04:002008-12-11T12:46:23.128-05:00If I Had Me a Pair of Goats, I'd Never Have to Cut My Goddamn Lawn<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTSLgLpq1yrYPjfcGmnmrxVS3lWKWEbqhX5QMG3VSpTEqqbYpkqoRp58AxaxE1sAHku8iv4Da7NrvJ-TUPHdBGeRLxzrVW_CLGQ1dYWVJLNUYZKwLw-JGBt81Cr0e4tlOzVZTQtA/s1600-h/goats.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTSLgLpq1yrYPjfcGmnmrxVS3lWKWEbqhX5QMG3VSpTEqqbYpkqoRp58AxaxE1sAHku8iv4Da7NrvJ-TUPHdBGeRLxzrVW_CLGQ1dYWVJLNUYZKwLw-JGBt81Cr0e4tlOzVZTQtA/s320/goats.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5211173207310119426" /></a><strong><font size=1>Guest editorial by Jake Mannheim, homeowner</strong></font><br /><br />I've been cutting my own grass for over forty years, and frankly?

No sir - my goats are going to have ballsy names, like "Lothar" or "Tsunami" or "Buster Cherry," names that will stand up like a horny sixteen-year-old eating fistfuls of Viagra, you dig?<br /><br />I got to think that two weeks of starving the little goat-fuckers out to be enough to make my turf look mighty tasty, and after that the goats will take to the lawn like aquarium fish take to sewer water, you feel me?<br /><br />Then I'll have my whole summer to get drunk, download porn, and generally live like a man's supposed to live: relaxed and grass free. And with a couple of horn-less goats to roast come Thanksgiving.Subcomandante Bobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15547084802541810008noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14860019.post-52454695399656547512008-05-29T19:09:00.000-04:002008-05-29T19:10:07.348-04:00Local Man Tired of Being Asked if He Was a B-Ball Star<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1170/1343/1600/ManThinking.gif"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1170/1343/320/ManThinking.gif" border="0" alt="Black accountant who keeps getting asked if he was an NBA player" /></a> (Toledo, OH) Local resident Jon Hewitt, who recently began work at a local branch of a Big 8 accounting firm, says that he has been "overwhelmed" by coworkers asking him if he used to play basketball.<br /><br />"Yes, I am black, and no, I cannot slam dunk," said Hewitt.
