Funky Monkey – the Fruit that Bobby Zimmerman Crunches!

20130115-105308.jpg
I sat my monkey on a log
And ordered him to do the dog
He wagged his tail and shook his head
And went and did the cat instead
He’s a weird monkey
Very funky…

Strange Leftovers: Dead Straight Bro’s Throw-Away Cum Rag…

20130103-171631.jpg
“Get it off after getting it off” – so reads the slogan. Market that thing! Among the oddities of my heterosexual brother’s recent worldly remains: a throw-away cum rag, intended (as the publicity stresses) to clean up love’s messy moments…huh…heir to a personal wipe. Ok. His license plate read G.M.S.H. That didn’t stand for “Green Miata So Hot” – which is what he told the DMV. No, it meant “Give Me Some Head.”

He was Fred and now he’s dead. From a character to a case number just like that…cremation number 39342. Conveniently packaged for easy transportation. Resting in pieces. Goodbye, my brother.

Wild! PETA Versus the Outlaw Bikers: new Cali Manga from JoJo Mendoco. NSFW!

20121229-151742.jpg
This shocking tale was making the innerweb rounds as a true story. It’s not. It’s just a meme joke. Sometimes though it’s more important that a story be interesting than that it be strictly true. Such with this satirical drawing illustrating the invented scene – from JoJo Mendoco.

Please Help! (Happy Birthday, Big Gay Al…)
