Bush Threatens Press!
2001-06-03 14:50:07
The first impression I got of George W. Bush was that his campaign had tried to reserve every single domain name that might sound like a criticism of him. "bushsucks.com" and whatnot all pointed to his campaign stuff. "Here," said I, "is a man who will eventually become outraged at the press and do something scary like that Comidus guy in Gladiator." Only Gladiator wasn't out yet, I think.
And now he's started! Over an invasion of his family life! There was a really threatening press conference one of Bush's cronies gave!
He said things like, "I would urge all of you to very carefully think through how much you want to pursue this," and, "any reaction of the parents is parental; it is not governmental. It is family." I mean, holy shit! A horse's head on the pillow is more subtle!
I understand that in the city, it's a pity, because you just can't hide, and that tinted windows don't mean nothing because they know who's inside. The invasion of the press can be annoying. You can't go to nude beaches or sell heroin on TV or anything like that. If you're the First Nubile Twins, you can't buy alcohol illegally without trouble (though I suspect you could just have Secret Service sneak you some hooch and if I were the President that's what I'd tell 'em to do from now on). It sucks. It makes you want to punch out photographers!
Go on, George W! The photographers are RIGHT THERE! Do you see them, egging you on? Show 'em who's boss. You're President - you don't have to take shit from anyone! Take a swing! Be a man!
And tell 'em Pigdog sent you!

A Day in the Life of a Beverotologist
It was starting to look like a very boring Saturday, trapped as I was in the suburban wastelands of the outer Bay Area, so I called my Able Assistant (AA) and proposed that we perform some Spocktail field tests. For some time I've been working on creating the quintessential cinematic beverage and even tho' SMRL does most of its testing during nocturnal hours, this seemed an opportune time to roll up the sleeves of our labcoats and get some science done. While the beverotology creation tested this day (The Neurotoxin) must be deemed a success, this article focuses more the journey of the experimenters, rather then the science of beverotology.

Both an afternoon and evening issues were released to the unsuspecting crowd of freaks attempting to in some small way experience the euphoria of the playa – if but for a brief afternoon far from the desolation of Northern Nevada.

Three Days and 25 Spocktails: A Cautionary Tale
Johnnie Royale picked me up from the dental surgery. I felt warm, safe, cradled in the anathesia's loving embrace. The pharmacy downstairs gave me a bottle of Vicodin and a few instructions: take it with food, don't mix with alcohol, don't operate heavy machinery. I put it in my pocket and we left. "Do you want to go home, or do you want to go to a bar?" asked Johnnie. (More...)
