Knives out and guns blazing, they fight. We […]

NATO is the Schoolyard Bully
If a bully at school started a “we hate Allison club” and the point of their club was “we will defend all boys from that horrible girl named Allison if she bothers us” Then they invite every one around Allison to join it. And then some of Allison’s friends are given money and promises of […]
Ode to the People’s Spud
A “potato’s potato” the others would call him Not exactly rotund, but … nor was he slim. A stud for the ages, a chap— A warm face to slap on And gee golly we’ll miss him now that he’s gone! A head so divine: quite bulbous it was And smooth! Not even the wisp of […]
