The honeymoon is over.

Ok, ok, ok, enough lazing around.  BACK TO THE SHOW!  You can subscribe through iTunes dude.  Or listen below.  But now I gotta go.  Rhyming like a toe...  damn it.

Episode #23: Worse.

here's some words:

“...why’d you come back from wherever the fuck you were hiding out.  Everybody was doing fine here without you,” he said.  Dale got the match lit, then puffed on his cigarette ravenously.  It calmed his nerves.  “Doesn’t matter.  And hell, it's probably for the best.  Sometimes a boy is better off without the old man around.  Look how you turned out, me being as attentive as I was.”

“Didn’t have to do with you,” Dale said.  He could hear the old man sigh.

“You may have your mother’s heart, but you’ve got my brains.  I know how you think on a macro level.  Poor judgement, it’s a hereditary disease.  Like baldness or… being poor for that matter.  We are born with it and then we have to learn to manage the symptoms.  I only fucked up one kid’s life, that’s my achievement.”

BREAKING THE LAW BREAKING THE LAW

The followup to Episode #16: Special Occasion, or Part 1 of this ongoing series.  So if you haven't listened to #16 GO BACK!  Episode #21 features two parts:  Part 2. An Ultimate Good, and Part 3. Things Got Ugly, both of which occur previous to the events in episode #16.

Here's a little advice Dale's father gives him in Part 2:

Don’t get blinded by your ego.  These girls poke us at our weakest points and make us do their bidding.  It is inevitable.  We just got to make sure that if a girl wants us to do their bidding it's for an ultimate good.  Benefits everybody, you see.  Free will is all make believe.  If you weren’t dumb you’d know that by now.

Rise of the burger machines

Oh man, with November's episode of Cheap Fun! The Short Story Podcast we get back into the swing of things.  Marital bliss can't hold me back from churning out the literary hits, doing the work, fighting the good fight, taking the swings at life, beating life into a senseless pile of mush, putting life through a grinder, shaping before mentioned ground up life into patty, frying said patty, and adding my secret sauce.

Next month's episode is titled BURGER MACHINE!  Below is some of the art work in progress for the poster.  Come back and see the finished product.

Sneak a peek!

Episode #13 Mister Carlson Gets Deported on Cheap Fun! The Short Story Podcast up this Sunday September 1st.  You won't hear from me again until I'm a married man...

Here's a sneaky peek at the story:

Mr. Carlson was infuriated.  He had more than proven his worth to this country. He had been President and Chief Executive Officer of the Common Bankshares, Inc. since ‘73, and chairman of the board since 1988, among other titles.  Surely this was not the resume of a criminal.  Yes, he had his car impounded in New Hampshire a few years ago after he was found asleep on the side of the road, but there was never anything proven.  Sure he had totaled the Mercedes one summer evening in a rainstorm when he and Millie slid down an embankment into a gushing stream, but Millie had drank more than he and it was the fourth of July, they were entitled!
