I'm afraid no one loves a Ploplit plopped on a stump in goo, because many things in life lack reason, and are very, very cruel.

The Sewer Mage’s Scenario
Answers are electrical for the sewer mage, down deep beneath the grey and cleaning waves. These futures are forgotten, plodding in dim swim, coiling by the brick, drips forever unwritten. Till ooze becomes eccentric, to question, buzz and speak, turning all it touches to the grey scenarios he seeks.
This poem was inspired by Dragon’s idea of the Sewer Mage.
Destination Moon
Seriously guys? Why'd I have to get the purple suit? If there's a race of Commie Moonderthals up here, I'm a big walking grape target.
Don’t You Mean Gasoline?
I went to the gas station and found gas prices were sky high. So I went to the pet shop to spend my gas money on a hamster, but hamsters cost more than gas, no lie! But the pet lady told me that mamsters were free, and I thought, hey - lucky me - now I can spend my two "O" five on ice cream. I got the mamster and the little sucker mangled my hand! And I screamed "This mamster is as mean as gasoline!" With that the mamster chomped, and I howled again, "I'm gonna stick this mamster in my gas tank!" And the pet lady said, "Sorry sir. You can't do that." I asked why not, and the pet lady said, "Why sir, don't you know? Gas goes there."
Glamourarra Glitterarra
Glamourarra Glitterarra came to disco go-go down from NY all the way to San Diego. She said she was on vacation, in flash of lash and boot a' move, which caught the glint of golfin' CEO's dribbling lobster on their money fat suits. Those CEOs purred "Glamourarra Glitterarra on TV would be some rabbit hat trick..." all the while feeling their wallets grow ghoul green thick. But what those CEOs did not know, was that Glamourarra Glitterarra worked in TV also, and was broadcasting back feeds from Orion's Belt to M83 - with those sloshing CEOs as the fool-stars of her very own #1 pan-galactic show.
The Horseman
Headless dressed The Horseman is here. Washed in tons of blind ride fear. A haunting made from a suit of snakes. While I's are eyeless, in this our wake.
Squorty Tails, the Delmarva Fox Squirrel
The reason why Squorty Tails, the Delmarva Fox Squirrel, didn't have a girl-squirrel-friend wasn't because he didn't know how to charm em', but because he was endangered.
The Wereto
Werewolves just don't bother me, only traveling Weretos. Never going home when they know they really should soon. Oh I wish they'd go and pester, Josie, Jill or Jeff Check into the zoo at Salisbury take up residence with that inconspicuous sloth. Oh those, Weretos, Weretos, where for out yous? Making a ruckus at continental breakfast, (that's where) never bidding fond ados. Always doing annoying things like wearing out my new shoes But really, there's no sense in arguing with an "I Can't Wait!" Cause a Wereto only knows one point of view... So pack an extra knapsack. Hope the Stewardess doesn't ask. The Wereto is going, no matter when, no matter how, no matter what address.
Review: Deadbeat at Dawn (1988), directed by Jim Van Bebber
Last night I was privy to one of those harrowing cinematic experiences my film professor, Gary Adelstein, always hoped his students would have during a screening of Berks Filmmakers Inc., at Albright College. That is, witnessing a film that left them confused, uncertain and completely unsure just how they felt about life.
For me, the first of these aforementioned film experiences actually occurred at Berks, watching Pier Paolo Pasolini’s, Salò o le 120 giornate di Sodoma (1976). If I watched Salò today, I’m not sure how much it would shock me. This isn’t to say that its depictions of burning penises and women sitting in vats of poop isn’t horrific. Rather, it is that I now have more of a context to couch the film within and realize that Salò was aimed, in part, to shock with its portrayal of fascist Italy. As such, today, the films that leave me unsettled now are of an entirely different breed like Terry Zwigoff’s Crumb (1994), a documentary about the life and times of comic artist Robert Crumb (Grue will back me up on this one). And then there was last night’s film, Jim Van Bebber’s Deadbeat at Dawn (1988).

They will always correct my direction even though I know there are no wrong writes, just the one's left.
