My favorite thing to do, when my life intersects with four giant sea scallops, is to sauté those scallops in butter, deglaze with white wine, administer liberal quantities of gremolata, and stuff them down the Twisty craw while watching Star Trek (TOS) reruns.
I know, I know.
If, like me, you have the stomach lining […]

Speaking of cancer, what’s with this retarded sexy-cancer image at NewScientist.com? Do I really need to trot out the picture of what cancer really looks like?
Or: “Jesus appeared to me on a grilled cheese sandwich, and lo he did say unto me that cervical cancer prevents premarital sex.”
Germaine Greer says women have no idea how […]
“Dark Age” is the new “Enlightenment,” Part 2
Published January 30th, 2006 in Easy Persiflage and Patriarchy-blaming. 21 CommentsJimmy Griffin: gettin’ married
And then there was the conversation I had the other night with one of my favorite old slacker bandmates. I had just sparked up a chunk-o-chronic (medicinal!) and was watching one of those sexy-autopsy-cop shows with the sound off—they’re hideous, yet I can’t look away!—when the phone rang. It was H. He […]
I’ve been invited to join the Churlish Feminist blog! Here’s my first, and I suspect, my last, post.

The Dark Age is the New Enlightenment, Part 1
Published January 29th, 2006 in Easy Persiflage and Patriarchy-blaming. 36 CommentsThere can no longer be any doubt that we’re all on languishing on the edge of a Dark-Age-calibre penumbra of politics and philosophy and art and dog-breeding and salad greens. Because I am an ass—which is to say I’m an average human—I’ve been in denial about the advent of this Dark Age, even as 9/11 […]
34th St Cafe, Austin
A thousand pardons. Yesterday’s post on the frozen dinner was whiney and repulsive. We both deserve better. So, as an antidote, I could do naught but to hie to the 34th St Cafe and get outside a so-called “Chinese hack salad.” What’s a Chinese hack? Hell if I know. I do know […]
My Bland and Frozen Hell
Published January 28th, 2006 in Crazy sexy cancer, Morsel Institute and Easy Persiflage. 23 CommentsOne of the many untoward effects of my chemotherapy is that it has afflicted my tongue and delicate esophageal tissues with a highly disagreeable intolerance for anything the slightest bit piquant. At first I rebelled, but eventually, for the sake of my stomach lining, I had to cave. Wine, even really good wine, causes spasms […]
This moron Richard Ames, who, incidentally, nurses quite the little obsession with Bitch.PhD.’s banner graphic, thinks I’m “churlish” for suggesting that the glazed, bloodshot eyes of the male gaze oughta be poked out.
Poor, dim fellow. He sadly confuses my implementation of a secret lesbian poetic device called personification with a literal call to Gloucesterize the […]
Man-o-man. Contrary to what you might imagine, moderating a radical feminist blog (or “radfemblo,” as they’re known in the biz) is no tiptoe through the tulips. I read every single comment with my own personal eyes, and I’m here to tell ya, it’s not all lighthearted phluph like “14% of American women and girls live […]
About four hundred sixty-seven of you have written to thunder against that foul-excrescence-masquerading-as-a-kid in Massachusetts who filed a civil rights complaint alleging that, because there are lots of girls on the honor roll, his school discriminates against—you guessed it—boys. Somebody apparently told this lazy little shit’s parents about that idiot “research” supposedly showing that boys […]
