Gary Newbrunswick tries to scare up a... uh... well, scare, I guess in this month's Disgruntled Employee of the Month.
What he really should have done is head on over to the ol' Boatload of Evil for stories, Unfortunate Cards, costumes and the ever-present much, much more. Scary much, much more.
One thing about Zonar- Of course he doesn't see these films. How would he pay admission or buy snacks without arms? Also, how does he type this stuff up? Does he have a secretary? I truly pity that person.
Also, speaking of type (That was barely a connection, there), with this week's addition to The Pete Best Project, we're pretty sure that this feature over the last month is more than has ever been written about the man.
The Pete Best Project keeps rolling on, with this week's entry being a fanciful illustrated tale from Brodie Brockie, wondering if music history's most famous also-ran perhaps had siblings who, too, were aflicted with a lifetime of constantly having victory just staying out of reach.
And, yes, about halfway through that sentence I was trying to make it as awkward as possible.
If you fear they've run out, amazon.com still has plenty of copies of Created in Darkness by Troubled Americans : The Best of McSweeney's, Humor Category, the book in which we have a couple of pieces. In print, no less! (Don't listen to Gregory N. Alstad of Vancouver, BC., though. He seems a bit of a crank)
Finally, from the ol' archives: As the kids are now firmly back in school, here is the aptly-titled Sentences Written For The School Vocabulary List By A Student Obsessed With Tacos But Not Very Good At Vocabulary. We are not good at keeping things short around here.
Carter has posted some photos an a first-hand account of capnwacky.com's fifth anniversary party over at the Almagablog. For those keeping score, Merlin Olsen showed up, but no Borgnine.
Also, the third week of The Pete Best Project continues with an excerpt from the upcoming fifth novel by bestselling author Steven P. Huey.
The Pete Best Project marches on, with this week's entry by racounteur, author and one-time Liddy co-defendant Leonard Pierce.
Also, as it is the first Friday of the month, we have another in a long line of our Disgruntled Employees of the Month.
Hey, has anyone out there seen The Salton Sea? A fifty-year old Val Kilmer as a young, drugged-out L.A. punk. Not good. Zonar must have been sleeping one off the week it came out.
