	the return of jackie and judy Take every Ramones album you've ever owned and bathe it in a solution of rock tumbler whiskey and 30,000 packs of cigarettes.

	suffer the fool I see myself in the dark glass of a storefront window. The image is wavering, untrue. I slip a cigarette from my pocket with pinched fingers and stare at it for two or three minutes, maybe longer. Then place it between my lips and strike a match as if I never hesitated. This is a nervous condition I developed in jail. Time becomes narrow, physical. My perception of self is incidental, and... Posted by xtop at 09:39 PM \| Comments (1)


	super goat man When Super Goat Man moved into the commune on our street, I was ten years old. Though I liked superheroes, I wasnt familiar with Super Goat Man. His presence didnt mean much to me or to the other kids in the neighborhood. For us, as we ran and screamed and played our secret games on the sidewalk Super Goat Man was only another of the guy who sat on stoops in sleeveless... Posted by xtop at 06:18 PM \| Comments (5)

	'merican If you've read any reviews of The Descendents' new EP, 'Merican, you'll likely have encountered a long rundown of dozens of other Descendents songs that these five songs are bound to remind you of. You'll also notice that no one finds this to be a problem, and are more giddy because they can draw stylistic lines back to the band's 80s catalog of awkwardness, alienation and food fetishism. For an industry where... Posted by xtop at 08:57 AM \| Comments (1)

	btk returns A letter The Wichita Eagle received Friday suggests that the BTK strangler was responsible for the Sept. 16, 1986, strangulation death of Vicki Wegerle, who was found dead in her home at 2404 W. 13th St. The crime was never solved. The letter contained a single sheet of paper with a photocopy of Wegerle's driver's license and three pictures that apparently were taken of her body. Each picture shows the victim...

	westSIDE There's a strain of nostalgia that Civil War recreationists and classic rock devotees often fall victim to, in which they cling to sugar-coated perceptions of the past in a desperate attempt to stave off the horrible present. The things they froth over are decades and millennia old, lending credence and legitimacy to the subject of their devotion. And then there's Westside Connection, whose second album longs for the halcyon days of 1992,... Posted by xtop at 01:52 PM \| Comments (0)


	the armageddon plan One of the questions studied in these exercises was what concrete steps a team might take to establish its credibility. What might be done to demonstrate to the American public, to U.S. allies, and to the Soviet leadership that "President" John Block or "President" Malcolm Baldrige was now running the country, and that he should be treated as the legitimate leader of the United States? One option was to have the new... Posted by xtop at 01:04 AM \| Comments (0)


	monsters from the deep Scientists from Australia and New Zealand have identified more than 100 new species of fish in the waters that divide the two countries. One of the most curious discoveries made by the scientists concerned the mating habits of the deep sea angler fish. Dr Norman described the female as being the size of a tennis ball, with "big savage teeth, little nasty pin eyes ... and a rod lure off the top... Posted by xtop at 12:30 AM \| Comments (0)

	the true fate of percy fawcett It is an unsolved riddle which has inspired explorers and writers for nearly 80 years. Yet now, after a decade of research, one British writer and director has shed unexpected light on the murky fate of Colonel Percy Harrison Fawcett and those who followed him deep into the Brazilian jungle. It has long been assumed that the missing colonel, a celebrated explorer who knew the popular adventure writers Rider Haggard and Arthur... Posted by xtop at 10:43 PM \| Comments (1)

	darpa's wild kingdom In an August 2003 article, Los Angeles Times reporter Charles Pillar noted that DARPA has put forth some of the "most boneheaded ideas ever to spring from the government" -- including a "mechanical elephant" that never made it into the jungles of Vietnam and telepathy research that never quite afforded the U.S. the ability to engage in psychic spying. As former DARPA Director Charles Herzfeld noted in 1975, "When we fail, we... Posted by xtop at 01:39 AM \| Comments (0)

	stubbed out like cigarette butts Today, we say a prayer for Cornelius, the 4th car I have killed. As a proud member of the army of functional wreckage, Cornelius lasted less than a year, taking me from Chicago to KC to Omaha and back, until it finally died on a stretch of road in Kansas. Most other times, I've reacted with horror, with anger, with a dull shouting in my brain a shout which translates to... Posted by xtop at 01:26 AM \| Comments (4)

Even if youve been to the club a dozen times and think you remember clearly where it is, you can miss it. It seems almost invisible. For good reason.

	molasses strikes again The interesting things to note here are 1) once again 21 people were killed, just like in Boston, setting a precise number of human lives that molasses requires before being sated and 2) these people actually recreate it every year, in the fashion of the running of the bulls except, y'know, they're running from corn syrup. Good times. At approximately 2 p.m. on the afternoon of December 11, 1932, a worker at... Posted by xtop at 02:42 PM \| Comments (4)


	molasses Along with the coffee smell was another, equally pervading. One could discern throughout much of downtown Boston, and especially around the North End, the unmistakable aroma of molasses. As a boy, I never questioned that odor, so strong on hot days, so far-reaching when the wind came out of the east. It was simply part of Boston, along with the swan boats in the Public Gardens and the tough kids swimming in... Posted by xtop at 01:01 PM \| Comments (1)

Jacob Corbin invited Matt, Kelly Sue and myself out to dinner on him, courtesy of the ever-friendly folks who hand out grants to students, along with his friend Theresa Bembnister (and don't think I don't notice, appreciate and, yes, love the fact that I can link everyone at the table).

Butler, a former aeronautical engineer during World War II turned founder of Aryan Nations, tottered into Aryanfest led by one elbow. Trailing behind him was a phalanx of imposing Volksfront security guards. Butler's attendants guided the octogenarian into a folding chair to the left of the stage and covered...

	George Saunders' Amendment In the town where I live, I have frequently observed a phenomenon I have come to think of as Samish-Sex Marriage. Take, for example, K, a male friend of mine, of slight build, with a ponytail. K is married to S, a tall, stocky female with extremely short hair, almost a crewcut. Often, while watching K play with his own ponytail as S towers over him, I have wondered, Isnt it odd... Posted by xtop at 07:18 PM \| Comments (0)
