“There’s a trail that way – I run it all the time,” I told the cop, while gesturing left. “It goes all the way into the park.” The cop nodded, without even glancing toward where I was pointing. I suppose that’s just ’cause I looked like the type of person who’d stab him in the jugular the second he broke eye contact. Can’t blame the bastard. It was early afternoon.. Read More
Junkie’s own ass betrays him by butt dialing the cops.
Once upon a time when I used to date human people, I remember being “butt dialed”. I was remaining faithful to what we in the field like to call a “non-monogamous-unbeknownst-to-the-bish-he-was-dating” dude at the time. To his credit, he was an excellent liar.

Excessive Farce
REMEMBER KELLY THOMAS? He was this poor dude with a mental disorder, down on his luck, without a job, homeless, etc. If you get depressed easily, don’t look it up, but if you do, I’ll give you the short and skinny so you don’t have to: He was beaten to death by cops… like…. super beaten. All those “hard to break” bones in his face and stuff – they broke… Read More
