Uncle Dirty– A Photoessay Uncle Dirty: an 86 year old, former body builder who builds trains, sew and wear thongs, cut and paste penises onto magazine adverts, and grease-up his once majestic body with baby oil. There are some NSFW pics of an old man, but it’s….interesting?
We Chase Misprinted Lies / We Face The Path Of Time
It’s ten past eleven at night. I’m sitting in my recliner with the computer in my lap watching “Good Eats” (the Spinach Salad episode).

Guy’s Big Bite Bites My Ass
I realize that I probably spend entirely too much time watching the Food Network. I’m pretty much an Alton Brown devotee, but I’ll watch whatever piece of shit the Food Network decides to air. Hell, I’ll even leave Ray Ray on as long as it’s not a marathon. But dammit, I just can’t stand Guy […]
